Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 247

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 notifications, Mary directly checked out the list of most popular topics. The first four items came into sight simultaneously. Compared to the news about herself, Mary’s attention was much more drawn to the second topic, ‘#Does Josh Batton Like Xyla Quest?#’

Reading this, Mary felt even more depressed. Feelings of jealousy began to take over. Immediately clicking on the link, the first thing that came into sight was a post shared by a marketing account.

Josh Batton had written, ‘Xyla Quest seducing me? I think it’s more like I’m the one trying to seduce her. You people think too highly of me.’

Since Mary had had a crush on Josh for a long time, she knew very well that he would not easily say these things about just any girl.

Although he seemed kind to everyone and was always polite, there was always a distant feeling that accompanied his politeness. Although it appeared as if anyone could get close to him, the truth was, nobody could ever get close to his heart.

Therefore, for him to say these things about her in public, Mary was certain that Josh must really like Xyla. When she saw how her idol was openly saying these things about the person she hated the most, Mary felt as if she would soon go insane.

On top of that, upon realizing that Josh was saying these things because of the things she did before, she felt even more annoyed with herself.

Mary had always fantasized about how she would get close to Josh through hard work, and eventually have him fall for her. She had even dreamed of how he would propose to her in front of all his fans on Weibo. Whenever Mary thought of that happening, she would feel as if she could die blissfully.
