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

Instagram. Whenever Mary thought of that happening, she would feel as if she 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 she 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, her thoughts were interrupted. Tony Sullivan appeared by the door

with an ice-cold expression on his face. Mary immediately felt her heart clench as she 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, her 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 her sentence, Tony had walked up to her and slapped her hard. The slap

landed on the left side of her face. As soon as that happened, the left side of her face swelled up,

matching the right side of her face which was equally swollen.

Once the pain began to spread around her face, Mary broke into tears.

She continued to speak through her 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 she 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 her head. “No, Dad, I won’t dare to do it again!”
