Netizens believed everything that was said, and they were all criticizing Xyla within the comment section.
“I don’t care what happened. Cheating can’t be forgiven, right? Is it true that she’s a b*tch like everyone claimed?”
“How could things have gotten this disgusting? Xyla Quest, aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”
“My entire family’s shocked. Xyla really is a lewd woman. She looks pure on the outside, but she’s disgusting on the inside. Ugh…”
“The Quest family is very unfortunate to have a daughter like her. Xyla, will you just die already?”
“Her husband is very nice to her. Didn’t he decorate the city with flowers? He’s done so much for her. What else does she want?”
Xyla felt very annoyed by all these comments. After briefly scrolling through, she clicked on the topic related to flowers being decorated all over the city.
At the top, one of the netizens posted an article while claiming to be Xyla’s distant relative.
The person said that Xyla really was the recipient of the flowers decorated all over the city. Moreover, the man who did it was her husband. Apparently, Stanley had mentioned it himself during a gathering in the Quest family’s house.
The person who published the post displayed his picture on his profile. Xyla recognized him. He was a distant relative from May Conner’s side of the family. During the family gathering to celebrate Quest Group’s 25th anniversary, this person was also present.
The netizens seemed even more emotionally charged in this topic compared to the last one.
“Her husband has already done so much for her. I can’t believe she has the heart to cheat on him.”
“I thought the man who made flowers appear overnight all over Atlantis would be a respectable man. I didn’t think it would be Xyla’s useless husband.”
“Is this really the man who decorated the entire city with flowers? He’s just a gigolo who spends women’s money…”
“Whoever wrote the post earlier, does your point even matter? The important part is that Xyla is a b*tch. It shouldn’t matter whose money the man is spending. It’s the thought that counts, alright?”
“If this happened during ancient times, Xyla would have been whipped to her death.”
Right then, Stanley walked out of the bathroom with a wooden pail that was filled with warm water. There were rose petals in the water that gave off a pleasant scent. Gently, he placed Xyla’s feet in the water. He was extremely gentle while he did so.
“What’s the matter?” Stanley asked when he noticed Xyla didn’t seem too happy.
Xyla dangled her phone in front of Stanley. “It’s about me cheating… Someone has made up very nasty rumors…” She said.
Stanley grabbed the phone and sat next to Xyla as he carefully read through the content on Twitter and Instagram.
After skimming through, Stanley roughly knew what was going on. He put the phone aside. “Don’t worry about this. I’ll deal with it.”
“What are you going to do?” Xyla asked.
Stanley didn’t say anything. Instead, he kneeled in front of Xyla before washing her feet.

Once Xyla was done soaking her feet, Stanley carried her into the bathroom to take a bath together.
Xyla finished up first, and she stood in front of the nightstand while she dried her hair.
Meanwhile, Stanley took his phone and returned to the bedroom.
While drying her hair, Xyla couldn’t stop thinking about how the marketing accounts spread false rumors about her. She was thinking of things to include in her statement to counterattack them. She hated it when people made up rumors about her love life.
After drying her hair, Xyla applied skincare products on her face before returning to the bedroom.
By then, Stanley was sitting at the head of the bed. He was holding his laptop, working.
Stanley wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Wearing a loose-fitting, black silk robe, a large part of his chest was showing. There were scratch marks and love bites all over his body. Although he was wearing glasses, he still seemed like the typical ‘bad guy’ that women liked.
Regardless of how many times Xyla had seen him, her heart still raced for him.
Beep, beep, beep…
Just as Xyla was about to get into bed, her phone started to ring. She immediately walked over to the bed and climbed in. After that, she leaned her head against Stanley’s shoulder and picked up her phone.
The message that appeared on her phone’s screen gave her a shock…
“Shocking! Xyla Quest’s husband is actually the heir of Dragon Group!”
