“The more viral this gets, the more jeers she will receive while Mary continues to expose her…” continued Emily Quest. *** Xyla’s clarification message was simple and direct. “My husband did not cheat on me. Our relationship is going well. The woman in the picture is his blood-related sister, my sister-in-law. Cease the gossipping, that’s all there is to this scandal.” After the message was posted, countless people began commenting on her post. Many of the comments criticized the reporters and marketing accounts for spreading the fake news. Not too long after, Josh Batton shared her clarification on Weibo as well. He didn’t add any comments to the post. Despite that, sharing the post alone brought a huge impact on the matter. His ‘Lover’s trees’ commented under his post, one after another. “Ahh… Our baby must be close to Xyla Quest if he shared her Weibo post! I’m so jealous of her!” “Ahh, I envy you Ms. Xyla. Also, I’d like to say something to those who had spread th

Xyla Quest was busy until late in the afternoon.What remained of the setting sun beamed through the french window, making her room appear extra warm.After reading one final document, Xyla massaged her aching neck and shoulders a little before getting up and walking out onto the balcony.Streams of golden rays danced between flowers and trees under the dimmed sky. A black Honda soon came into sight.The car moved closer to her while it faced the setting sun. Just by looking at it, Xyla felt at ease and secure. A beautiful smile subconsciously appeared on her face.A few seconds later, the Honda came to a steady halt while a man dressed in a black suit and black pants got down.Even the warm hue of the sky couldn’t melt away the coldness and loneliness that surrounded him.From a distance, Xyla could still clearly feel the nobility from the man’s body.Unexpectedly, Stanley Batton looked up and fixed his eyes upon her.The two of them looked at each other from afar, through

“According to the news source, the girl Stanley Batton dated is named Catherine Batton. Despite sharing the same last name, they are not siblings.“Catherine is the only child in her family and is currently studying abroad. The editor guesses that Xyla Quest only said Catherine is Stanley’s sister because Xyla is trying to protect her reputation.”Long lines of text came into sight right away.Below the text was information related to Catherine Batton.Xyla’s frown deepened as she calmly looked at Stanely’s face.She didn’t believe a single word written in the news article.In fact, she felt even more certain that somebody was trying to stir things up behind the scene.“Someone said she isn’t your biological sister,” Xyla said.“Do you believe that?” Stanley asked calmly as he looked at her.Xyla shook her head. “Of course not. You have no reason to lie to me,” she said.Stanley smiled faintly. “Somebody must have done a background check on her.”“You don’t have to explain.

After all, Georgie Clementine was only a friend to Xyla Quest. Georgie had no right to interfere with Xyla’s life. Everyone had their path in life.Georgie’s only hope was for Stanley Batton not to fall in love with Xyla. More importantly, she hoped he’d choose not to be with her.However, from the way Stanley treated Xyla, Georgie somehow felt it was only a matter of time before they got together.When Xyla opened her Weibo account, she saw that the ordeal between Stanley and her was back in the limelight.This time, they landed on the third spot among the trendiest topics.The topic was titled ‘#Girl on a date with Stanley Batton exposed not to be his biological sister#’.Xyla immediately tapped into the link to check it out. The comments section was flooded.“Rich people are really pitiful and pathetic… To appear decent, they are not willing to tell the truth even if their husbands are cheating on them.”“Xyla Quest is such a hypocrite, isn’t she? I can’t believe she would

Before Xyla Quest could speak, the door opened.Mary Sullivan, wrapped almost like a mummy, was sitting in a wheelchair while a bodyguard pushed her into the room.As soon as Mary saw Xyla, a pleased look appeared on her face.Xyla was quite surprised that Mary had shown up.Despite being this badly beaten up, Mary still insisted on coming over.Xyla’s mood instantly hit rock bottom when she saw Mary’s face.Georgie and Xyla’s facial expression turned cold simultaneously.“Mary Sullivan, why are you here?” Xyla asked coldly.Mary snorted as her bodyguard pushed her over to Xyla. “Why else am I here? I’m here to visit you out of kindness, of course. When I was getting my check-up, I overheard a couple of nurses. They mentioned you were staying here. Tsk, tsk. How did you get an abdominal infection? Was it because you found out about your husband cheating on you with another girl? Did that anger you? Hahahaha…” Mary laughed after saying those things. She was getting increasingly

That was because Xyla Quest had seen Catherine Batton in a picture before. Catherine was Five Batton’s younger sister.Xyla was just very surprised by her arrival.Catherine was youthful, lively, and adorable. Xyla liked her very much since the first time she saw her.“What did you call me?” Mary Sullivan asked angrily.Mary looked at Catherine’s face intently and realized she looked a little familiar. Upon a closer look, it occurred to Mary that this was the woman involved in a scandal with Xyla’s husband.What was going on? As a homewrecker, why did this girl come to Xyla’s ward on her initiative? Why was she even defending Xyla? “Darling, if your ears aren’t working, I suggest you donate them. You are already in such a sorry state, but you still won’t stop causing trouble. You’re Mary Sullivan, aren’t you? The one who was trending online for wearing counterfeit stuff to show off, right?” Catherine’s large, lively eyes blinked as she carefully examined Mary’s face. There was s

Catherine Batton moved fluidly, and the entire action lasted no longer than two seconds.Xyla Quest and Georgie Clementine were both impressed at the same time.Mary Sullivan, who sat in a wheelchair, was so scared that she didn’t even dare breathe loudly. She was panicking on the inside.However, Catherine seemed extremely calm, holding the bouquet in her arms tightly and walked up to Mary. “Hehe… Don’t you like hitting other people a lot? Fine, let me give you a taste of your own medicine today.”With that, Catherine raised the bouquet in her hand and began swinging it at Mary’s body.Her attacks directly irritated Mary’s recently healed wounds under the gauze.The pain was unbearable.Mary immediately screamed and tried to struggle, but she had no strength at all. Each time she moved, her body ached terribly.Neither Xyla and nor Georgie thought that Catherine would do such a thing.They were shocked, but their admiration for Catherine grew deeper.Both didn’t try to stop

Xyla Quest lived up to her title as the most beautiful woman in Atlantis.“You’re welcome. I should’ve done it anyway. By the way, you know my brother, right? He told me he explained things to you… Regardless of what happened, I should still introduce myself again. My name is Catherine Batton. I am Five Batton’s younger sister,” Catherine said as her large and soulful eyes blinked.“Don’t worry. I will clarify everything for you guys, just as my brother had told me to. I’m also here today because of this matter,” Catherine said with a genuine look in her eyes.Now that things had gotten this far, Xyla knew that Five Batton must have told Catherine everything between them.He didn’t have a choice. After all, the only effective way was if Catherine came out and denied everything publicly.Xyla didn’t say anything else, and instead, she nodded. “Thank you. I am Xyla Quest.”With that, Xyla extended a hand to Catherine.Catherine immediately tossed her bouquet of wilted flowers away
