Immediately after, Sophie Kenwick told Josh Batton about her Weibo experience earlier.He raised his brows slightly when he heard this. โIโd like to apologize to you on their behalf.โโForget it, this has nothing to do with you,โ Sophie said.Josh didnโt say anything further and directly opened his Weibo page.Xyla Quest swiftly sat down next to Sophie and held her hand kindly. โDonโt worry about those hateful comments online. Theyโre just a bunch of brainless keyboard warriors.โโOkay.โโTheyโll quiet down once you post a picture of yourself with Josh later,โ Xyla added.Sophie nodded immediately. โOkay, that makes sense. I just want to embarrass these keyboard warriors as they annoy me so much. "I donโt understand whatโs wrong with me writing about how I feel on Weibo. Itโs not like Iโm causing any trouble. "Iโm only publishing it on my page, so why are they criticizing and accusing me of trying to get popular?โ Sophie asked.The more she thought about it, the angrier she

โLetโs be friends from now on. Give me your WeChat ID.โโCan you take a few more pictures of Josh for me?โโIs Josh next to you right now? How are the two of you related? Are you relatives?โโPlease, follow me!โSophie briefly looked through the comments, shaking her head helplessly.Soon enough, she noticed a significant increase in her followers. In the beginning, she only had two followers. Now, she had over ten thousand followers, and was still rapidly increasing.At this rate, she would end up with more than 100,000 followers by the end of the night.Sophie could see that all her new followers had Joshโs picture as their profile photos, proving that they were all his fans.She couldnโt help but feel awed by his popularity.She quickly turned to look at Josh. โThank you for standing up for me. Your popularity is terrifying. Just because you followed me, I started gaining thousands of followers. At this rate, I might even get my account verified as a celebrity account.โJo

โThatโs a given. Look at whoโs in front of me,โ Sophie Kenwick said.โPick a few nice ones and publish them on Weibo. Many people are waiting for you to share those photos, so donโt let them down,โ Xyla Quest said.However, Sophie frowned and lamented, โTo be honest, I donโt want to share these photos with those people. They were horrible to me earlier.โโYou don't have to if you donโt want to,โ Xyla said.โForget it, I'll still share them. Look at those people. It must be tough for them. I understand how much they love their idol,โ Sophie sighed.After that, she selected a few photos that looked the best and published them on Weibo in a collage of nine photographs, adding a line of text, "Here are the photos you wanted. Donโt yell at me anymore.โWithin seconds, comments flooded her Weibo postโโAhh! Josh is so handsome!โโAre these original pictures? They aren't photoshopped, are they? Josh looks fantastic.โโYour photography skills are excellent! Are you a professional phot

Stanley Batton wore a gray turtleneck sweater under a long black woolen coat, with a pair of black pants and black leather shoes.His hair and shoulders were covered in unmelted snow, but he still managed to look cool and dignified.Just one look was enough to make Xyla Questโs heart pound.Stanley carried a sizable paper bag sporting a logo belonging to his wife's favorite bakery.Xyla immediately cheered up when she saw it. โHoney, did you buy me a cake?โStanley grinned with an indescribably gentle look in his eyes. โYes.โHe quickly removed his coat and changed into slippers before placing the bag on the coffee table.Stanley sat down beside Xyla, naturally extending his arm to pull Xyla into his embrace.โHow was your day? Are you tired?โ he asked softly.Everything about him seemed soothing and warm.Josh had long gotten used to this, and so had Sophie.Xyla felt warm in her heart. โNo, Iโm not tired.

Sophie Kenwick couldn't help but gasp in surprise when she found that her personal information had all been made public.Josh Battonโs fans were indeed powerful.โIs this what being related to a celebrity feels like?โ Sophie couldnโt help but wonder and then figured that was probably the case.***After dinner at Xyla Questโs house, Josh Batton returned home.Sophie went upstairs to take a bath and proceeded with her skincare routine while Xyla sat on the couch to play League of Legends.Meanwhile, Stanley Batton stayed in the kitchen to clean up and do some housekeeping, exhibiting the prime example of how a family man should behave.Ever since Stanley started doing all the chores in the house, Xyla had gotten increasingly lazy and would opt out of many chores whenever possible.All she wanted to do after every meal was to relax on the couch and then either work or play games on her computer.Whenever she wasnโt working, she would stay next to Stanley and wait for him to serv

However, there wasnโt any response to his call for help.Cough, cough, coughโJeremy Quest continued to press his hand against his chest and coughed for a long while until eventually, Betty Starmount ran over to him.She was stunned for a moment when she saw him.Clenching her fists tightly, she calmly walked up to him. โHey, whatโs wrong with you?โโGet me some cough medicine. My cold is going away, but the coughing has gotten worse. Iโm feeling out of breath.โ Jeremy continued to cough as he placed one hand over his chest and panted.He had no idea that his face had already turned purplish red.When Betty saw him in such a state, she immediately stepped forward to pat his back gently but froze when her hand stopped about one centimeter away from Jeremyโs back.Her hand hung suspended in the air for a moment, and then with a deep breath, she slowly pulled away. โUnderstood. Iโll get the medicine for you right away.โAfter turning around, Betty frowned deeply, then rubbed her

โDonโt worry, Iโm fine."Cough, cough, cough.โIโll head out to buy you some medicine,โ Betty Starmount offered and then quickly stood up and ran outside without even putting her coat on.Her feet were still bare.As soon as she stepped outside, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.It was still snowing as she peered up at the sky. Her crying intensified, the sensation of pain in her abdomen was overwhelming.She placed one hand over her stomach and knelt on the ground, her body curled up against the frozen ground in the courtyard.There wasnโt a single maid around.Just like that, she lied on the ground and allowed snow to fall over her.After a long while, she slowly crawled her way up to enter her luxury car and drove away.***The next morning, Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton got into their car, hand-in-hand, after waking up.It had snowed all night, and it only stopped a while ago, making it appear as if the world was adorned in silver.The bodyguards were all bu

โXyla, please talk to your father. I was worried sick, but he refused to go to the hospital. โ Betty Starmount seemed genuinely worried.Xyla Quest was quite pleased to see her being considerate, regardless of whether her concern was real or fake. It was good that someone was around to take good care of her father.Even if it was only on the surface, it was good enough that Betty made it seem genuine.Xyla frowned and looked at Jeremy Quest. โDad, youโre not getting any younger, and your health is not the same as in the past. If you donโt want to go to the hospital, you can come to me. I can help you.โโForget it, I refuse to eat those weird medicines. Iโd rather go to the hospital,โ Jeremy declared.โIn that case, letโs go to the hospital,โ she agreed.However, her father shook his head helplessly. โI donโt think thatโs necessary. I know my body well enough.โโI donโt care. You will come with me to the hospital after breakfast,โ Xyla insisted with a determined and irrefutable

If you hadnโt helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?โ Leon chuckled.โI guess Iโve lived up to my promise.โ Hannah giggled along.Back then, she had promised Leon that she would become someone deserving of him.She claimed that she would grow with Leon.Without a doubt, she had done it.Now, Hannah had become a successful woman many would often speak of. She earned her rightful seat next to Leon as the CEO of Dragon Group.Stanley also turned to look at Hannah. โYes, Hannahโs very capable.

Over time, Leonโs feelings for Hannah grew deeper, stronger, and more intense.He had grown used to having her with him all the time.Thus, he hoped she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.Upon hearing his words, Hannahโs mind went blank.What did her dream guy just say?Was she dreaming?Hannah quickly pinched her palm at the thought in an attempt to discern between dream and reality.Her palm hurt.

Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymondโs head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. โWho are you?

In this city, I am the law.โLeonโs domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.โMr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?โ One of the men dressed in black asked.โMr. Batton?

Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannahโs body as she collided with the cold, hard ground.The pain was such that all her bones felt close to breaking.

Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasnโt about to be silent anytime soon.

She really didnโt know what to do.Finally, she came to a decision. She took out her phone and tapped open a ride-hailing application on her phone.Yet just as she did that, she instantly closed it. Afterwards, she began pacing back and forth in worried circles, going to and fro aimlessly. Right as she was trapped in her worried musings, a group of people exited the bar.
