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, virtual-novel.net did not expect that what virtual-novel.net had planned for Xyla would happen to herself in an even worse way. Now, Mary was feeling completely lost and had no idea what virtual-novel.net should do.
She wished virtual-novel.net had a shell to hide in, so that virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net entire face had gone pale.
After going through some of the items on virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net knew very well that virtual-novel.net would not easily say these things about just any girl. Although virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net to say these things about virtual-novel.net in public, Mary was certain that Josh must really like Xyla. When virtual-novel.net saw how virtual-novel.net idol was openly saying these things about the person virtual-novel.net hated the most, Mary felt as if virtual-novel.net would soon go insane. On top of that, upon realizing that Josh was saying these things because of the things virtual-novel.net did before, virtual-novel.net felt even more annoyed with herself.
Mary had always fantasized about how virtual-novel.net would get close to Josh through hard work, and eventually have virtual-novel.net fall for her. She had even dreamed of how virtual-novel.net would propose to virtual-novel.net in front of all his fans on Instagram. Whenever Mary thought of that happening, virtual-novel.net would feel as if virtual-novel.net could die blissfully.
However, all that had now gone down the drain. What Mary desired the most did happen. However, the female protagonist was not herself. Instead, it was the woman virtual-novel.net hated the most, Xyla Quest!
Why would a wonderful person like Josh fall for Xyla?
Why did it have to be Xyla?
Creak…
With Mary’s door being opened, virtual-novel.net thoughts were interrupted. Tony Sullivan appeared by the door with an ice-cold expression on his face. Mary immediately felt virtual-novel.net heart clench as virtual-novel.net subconsciously stood up and looked sadly at him.
She began to explain, “Dad, I’m sorry. I only did those things to Xyla because I wanted to avenge our family. It was all going perfectly… I…”
In recent times, virtual-novel.net father had been troubled by the things that had been happening to the Sullivan family. Moreover, the Sullivan family’s stock price had plummeted due to what happened with Mary’s second brother and Emily Quest. Their company image was greatly affected too. Now, with the mess Mary had made of herself, it only made matters worse. Her father would certainly be enraged.
Wham!
Before Mary could finish virtual-novel.net sentence, Tony had walked up to virtual-novel.net and slapped virtual-novel.net hard. The slap landed on the left side of virtual-novel.net face. As soon as that happened, the left side of virtual-novel.net face swelled up, matching the right side of virtual-novel.net face which was equally swollen.
Once the pain began to spread around virtual-novel.net face, Mary broke into tears.
She continued to speak through virtual-novel.net tears, “I really just wanted to blow off some steam for our family. Although we don’t have proof that Xyla did all those things to us, I know in my heart that virtual-novel.net did. That’s why I…”
“Shut up! How dare you still try to defend yourself? Didn’t I tell you not to cause any trouble? I warned you not to do anything, no matter how bad you feel. Did you not take what I said seriously? Mary, do you want me to break your legs? Is that the only way you will feel satisfied?” yelled Tony with a vicious look in his eyes.
Mary quickly shook virtual-novel.net head. “No, Dad, I won’t dare to do it again!”
