A notification popped up on the screen.
Cloud Piercer had sent virtual-novel.net a message on WhatsApp, “Wifey, will you be online tonight? I’ve cleared all the daily tasks for you. Do you want to go to the dungeon with me tonight?”
Georgie’s expressionless face instantly faded away and was replaced by a genuine smile. She quickly tucked the folders under virtual-novel.net arm and replied to his message, “Sure.”
Love…
She might have met virtual-novel.net love. In fact, it was cyber love. She did not have the slightest idea how the guy looked like or what virtual-novel.net did for a living. She heard that virtual-novel.net ran a company, and that was all virtual-novel.net knew. The two of them had been playing games together every day recently, and virtual-novel.net fondness for virtual-novel.net only grew stronger and stronger as time went by.
In Georgie’s imagination, Cloud Piercer was a smart, dependable, and assertive gentleman.

Meanwhile, there was an air of gloom and resentment hanging over the Sullivan family’s house.
Emily Quest was currently sitting on the enormous balcony in virtual-novel.net luxurious bedroom. She was watching Josh Batton and Xyla Quest’s video on the trending list, virtual-novel.net face as dark as night.
All the comments buttering up Xyla disgusted her. The longer virtual-novel.net looked at them, the more disgusted virtual-novel.net felt.
Xyla had risen to fame on the internet these days. Today, virtual-novel.net was on the trending list because of Stanley Batton. Tomorrow, virtual-novel.net might be on the trending list because of the tournament. The day after tomorrow, virtual-novel.net could still be on the trending list thanks to Josh. Moreover, the netizens would flatter virtual-novel.net every time virtual-novel.net name appeared on the trending list.
They even named virtual-novel.net ‘The Girl Born Under A Lucky Star’.
Emily was going to die from jealousy at any second. She had an insatiable desire for everything Xyla owned. Sadly, virtual-novel.net would never live a life like Xyla’s, no matter how hard virtual-novel.net tried.
Emily continued to scroll through the hot topic and saw an infuriating post. “Have anyone heard of the story between Xyla Quest and virtual-novel.net brother-in-law before? It is said that Xyla Quest was supposed to marry virtual-novel.net brother-in-law, Tom Sullivan. However, Tom Sullivan had an affair with virtual-novel.net younger sister, Emily Quest…”
The post was viral on Twitter at the moment. The number of likes, comments and shares had exceeded five figures.
Scrolling down to the comment section, molten anger began to flow through Emily.
“Of course, I’ve heard that before. Thank you, Tom Sullivan, for not appreciating Xyla. Thanks Emily, for adopting that bastard too.”
“You’ve got a point, girl.”
“Without Emily, Xyla wouldn’t have met virtual-novel.net prince and live happily ever after.“
“Her husband is so much better than Tom Sullivan, ah. Although the Sullivan family is rich, they’re nothing compared to the Batton family.”
“Was Tom Sullivan blind? He gave up on such a beautiful angel for that roadside weed. Hahahahaha!”
The harsh comments pierced through Emily’s eyeballs as though there were plenty of nails.
She felt irritation rising in her. Jealousy overtook her. She clenched virtual-novel.net fists and gritted virtual-novel.net teeth.
“Xyla… Go to hell!”
To avoid seeing those disgusting contents again, Emily turned off virtual-novel.net phone and grabbed the red wine glass from the table beside her, downing it at one go.
She hated Xyla so much.
They were both born of the same father but why was Xyla’s fate always better than hers?
Why did virtual-novel.net have to live in Xyla’s shadow all the time?

While all these were happening, there was a desperate atmosphere at Edgewater too.
Rachel Wood was standing behind the curtains, overlooking the street of virtual-novel.net neighborhood in silence. The black Bentley Coupe was still downstairs. Inside the car, Sebastian Brenand was sitting in the driver’s seat, smoking.
