“Obviously, she’s just a stand-in wife for a gay couple, but she’s keeping up an act and pretending she’s a happy little princess. Xyla Quest, I’ve got to give it to you.”
“Hahaha… I can’t stop laughing for my life. It turns out you’re married to a gay man, aren’t you? Why are you still showing off how happy you are every day?”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk… Truly a pitiful woman. What’s the point of being married to Stanley Batton? He doesn’t even like you.”
“No matter how good you look, and how great a body you have, none of it matters if you don’t have a good husband who loves you.”
“Xyla Quest, I truly feel embarrassed for your parents. Does your family know that you are married to a gay man?”
“Stanley Batton, this is considered an extra-marital affair. Xyla Quest, you truly do deserve pity.”
Every word Xyla Quest saw was like a sharp needle that poked at her eyes.
She wasn’t at all surprised that everyone would send her private messages like these.
Many people were like this sometimes.
When you’re doing fine, they’d praise you as best they could. But when you’re not doing fine, they’d kick you to the curb.
This was especially true for people on the internet.
It was because they could hide behind their screens over the internet, and nobody could see their faces.
Hence, they could put their ugly selves on display without any concern.
Those people always liked to criticize others who were better than them to vent their dissatisfaction in real life.
When Xyla saw these messages, she didn’t show any emotion in her eyes.
She picked up her phone and dialed Stanley Batton’s number first.
Meanwhile, Stanley was drinking tea with Josh Batton at the latter’s house…
When Stanley saw Xyla’s phone call, he immediately smiled handsomely. “What’s up, darling?”
Josh was sitting right next to Stanley. When Stanley was on the call, his phone was close to Josh. Hence, Josh could hear everything being said over the phone clearly.
Josh was about to pick up his tea but paused. A bitter smile appeared on his face, and it was obvious upon his lips.
It was a surprise that paparazzi could capture even something like this…
“Are you still with Josh?” Xyla asked.
“Yeah,” Stanley said.
“Because he’s an A-list celebrity, things have been blown out of proportion. If we suddenly try to suppress the news, it’ll only cause extremely negative effects.
“That’s why you two should step forward and explain things. Otherwise, it’ll definitely have a negative impact on Josh’s professional career as well as Dragon Group’s corporate image.” Xyla carefully provided an analysis.
“In that case, we’ll just make it public… If we deny it, some people will probably not believe it. Topics like this that are related to sexuality are still very sensitive in our country. I don’t want people to make all sorts of speculation about me…” Stanley answered earnestly.
With that, Stanley turned to look at Josh. “What do you think?” Stanley asked.
