What was Josh Batton thinking? As a popular celebrity, he was not supposed to say things like that.Xyla Quest immediately picked up the phone and called Josh. As soon as he answered, she asked, “Mister, can you please think carefully before you speak?”“I did think about it carefully. What’s the matter? Do you think I said something wrong?” said Josh with a chuckle.Josh was sitting in the makeup area of a studio while he waited for a magazine shoot. Apart from his stylist and the stylist’s assistant, there were many other female staff who worked for the magazine company around him.He was wearing a white shirt on the inside and a houndstooth coat on the outside. The ladies were all taking photos of him with their phones. Each of them gasped at how handsome he looked while they did so.Although these young women were ogling him, Josh never once looked at them. Instead, he smiled at his own reflection in the mirror, with his phone in his hand, waiting for Xyla to say something.“
Xyla Quest had always thought of Josh Batton as a business partner. To her, he was merely an artiste who could rake in a lot of money for her company.However, now that he was confessing his feelings for her, how should she reject him? How could she politely reject him without hurting his feelings?Xyla felt a headache coming on. The more she thought about it, the worse the headache became. Therefore, she opened Weibo once again.The first thing that came into sight was the note that she had over 9,999 notifications. Subconsciously, she clicked on the notifications panel. There were countless private messages, tags, and comments.Instead of taking a closer look at the comments, she directly opened her private messages. They were all from people who either had Josh’s name or his picture on their profiles.‘Sister Xyla Quest, I’m so sorry that I jumped on the bandwagon and insulted you. I’m truly sorry. Mary Sullivan went too far. I will scold her for you,’ someone said.‘Sob, sob. My fa
‘What a lowly b*tch! You would do anything to have things your way. Are you jealous because Xyla Quest looks better than you, and gets more attention from Josh Batton than you? Disgusting b*tch!’After reading through these comments, Xyla no longer felt upset. All the negative emotions she had been suppressing were now thoroughly gone.***At the same time, in the Sullivan family’s villa, Mary Sullivan was taking a comfortable milk bath with rose petals sprinkled all around her. After putting her face mask on, she lit a scented candle in her room before sitting in front of her dressing table. She then proceeded to put expensive skincare products on her face.Completely unaware of what had happened, Mary was in an unusually good mood. When she thought about how Xyla was still being cyberbullied, she felt good about it.Even taking a simple bath and putting on skincare products at home made her feel unusually happy. The light scent wafting through the air in her room smelled extraordinar
The person Mary Sullivan had gone against was Xyla Quest, not the netizens. Why were they openly spewing hatred against her? Moreover, why were they being so harsh with their words?Growing up, Mary had never experienced something like this. She had never been scolded by so many people at the same time. Cyberbullying truly was a frightening thing. Just from briefly going through some of these comments, Mary was already feeling suffocated.She never would have thought that Xyla could turn the tables against her. Moreover, she did not expect that what she had planned for Xyla would happen to herself in an even worse way. Now, Mary was feeling completely lost and had no idea what she should do. She wished she had a shell to hide in, so that she could avoid being criticized by all these people.Mary felt angry and fearful! She also felt very hurt! Her originally reddened cheeks were now drained of color—her entire face had gone pale.After going through some of the items on her list of not
“I don’t want to listen to your apology! Stay in this room and think about the mistakes you have made. Don’t go anywhere during this period! If you cause more trouble, I really will break your legs!” yelled Tony before storming out of the room.The combination of the vicious cyberbullying and the merciless slap from her father left her feeling horrible. All her suppressed feelings instantly drowned her, like lava from an erupted volcano. It felt as if all the colors in the world had faded away.“Ahhh!” Mary cried out while she stomped her feet on the ground with all her might.However, the feelings of anger and hatred in her chest were still there. Her little outburst did not make her feel any better.“Xyla Quest, you b*tch! Just you wait!”Mary put on a white Chanel woolen dress, black knee-length boots, and a white beret. She then grabbed her black Chanel diamond purse before storming out the door. When Mary arrived downstairs, there was nobody around.Therefore, she got into a sapph
The two security guards immediately nodded respectfully at Xyla Quest and stopped what they were doing before stepping aside.Xyla walked slowly over to Mary. Her hands were crossed naturally in front of her chest. Although Xyla seemed like a gentle person, she had a dominating presence.“Why aren’t you enjoying the cyberbullying at home? Why are you here causing a scene at my company?” she asked.Since Xyla already disliked Mary, she became even more annoyed when she saw how Mary was still behaving arrogantly. Xyla’s mood was completely ruined. Apart from Emily Quest and Tom Sullivan, nobody else made her feel as disgusted as Mary.Mary quickly took a step forward and shoved her hands forcefully against Xyla. “Xyla Quest! Why did you do all this?!”“I’m just returning the favor. Why else?” replied Xyla, laughing coldly. The people around her immediately felt chills down their spines.“Do you know what I’m going through because of you? Even if I hurt you, why did you have to go to such
Mary continued to shout while the security guards dragged her away, “I’m sure you must be happy that Josh Batton likes you, right? I can’t believe he would fall for a married woman. Xyla Quest, you must have been flaunting yourself in front of him every day to seduce him. That’s why he likes you, right? What a shameless woman! Can’t keep your hands to yourself despite being married!“If you dare get a divorce and get together with Josh, I will ruin your reputation. I’ll tell everyone that you had an extra-marital affair with him. I’ll ruin the both of you! If you don’t want to destroy Josh, I suggest you stay away from him! A married old hag like you doesn’t deserve a pure guy like him!”Xyla stood silently where she was while she watched Mary shouting at her. She could not be bothered to respond. At that moment, Xyla thought of Mary as a complete lunatic. Only after Mary was forcefully shoved into the company’s car did Xyla turn around and enter the company.Right then, she noticed a
The fans who were initially drowning in their tears of sadness were now lively once more.‘Ahhh… It was all a joke after all. I was reading too much into it. Whew. Thank goodness it was a false alarm,’ someone wrote.Another person wrote, ‘I was ready to accept the harsh reality that my idol fell in love with a rich, divorced woman. Is that not true? It’s wonderful! I am no longer heartbroken!’‘I bet they must be very good friends, right? Otherwise, my idol would not have made a joke like that. I’m envious that Xyla Quest can be such good friends with my idol,’ someone else wrote.‘Even if they are just friends, I still feel jealous, okay? I’m so envious that Miss Xyla Quest can frequently meet the man of my dreams,’ someone wrote.After going through some of the comments, Xyla satisfactorily exited Weibo. She then locked her phone and put it away before stepping on the accelerator. She intended to personally go to the police station to cooperate with the police on Mary Sullivan’s inv
