The same news popped up in everyone’s phone.
Suddenly, everyone was quiet around Xyla.
Xyla had also received the same message. All this happened just as virtual-novel.net expected. She didn’t feel affected at all.
When Emily Quest saw this message, virtual-novel.net felt fully satisfied. She was the one who had asked Red Sea to reveal this information to a reporter. Her intention was to force Xyla to tell the truth in front of everyone!
Emily wanted Xyla to be humiliated in front of everyone. She wanted those who looked up to virtual-novel.net before to laugh at her!
Initially, Emily thought that the reporter wouldn’t dare to publish something like this.
She didn’t expect that the reporter would agree to it right away.
“Xyla, what’s going on here?” Emily pretended to be shocked as virtual-novel.net looked at Xyla.
Xyla snorted coldly as virtual-novel.net looked blandly at Emily.
“What’s the matter? Were you really hoping that I’d get divorced?” Xyla asked.
“When did I say that? I was just asking because that’s what the news said,” Emily retorted.
“Do you guys think this is true? Why do I feel like it’s just a fake rumor? There’s no picture to prove that it’s true.”
“I think it might not be completely false. Things like this don’t just come up out of nowhere…”
“Good things never last… At first, I thought the Batton family’s heir really did love her. Now, it looks like it wasn’t the case after all.”
“If they didn’t get a divorce, why didn’t Stanley come with virtual-novel.net to such a grand event like this? I think there’s an 80% chance that they got a divorce.”
The rich wives started gossiping about Xyla, and the way they looked at virtual-novel.net changed from admiration to contempt.
Xyla didn’t react. Instead, virtual-novel.net silently watched them. The less virtual-novel.net said, the more they believed they were right.
When May and Emily saw what was happening, they were both overjoyed.
Tom, who was watching all this from not too far away, felt equally happy. If Xyla was divorced, that meant virtual-novel.net had a chance!
Xyla still wasn’t affected by any of the things people around virtual-novel.net were saying.
Jeremy quickly pushed his way through the crowd to get to Xyla.
“Alright… It’s almost time. Everyone, come with me to have lunch inside. Don’t let rumors like this affect your mood…” He said unhappily.
Jeremy refused to believe in the news like this that didn’t have pictures to prove its validity.
“We’re just concerned about Xyla… Did you really get a divorce with Stanley?” One of the rich wives asked. “If you did, I’m sure you got a lot of money from it, didn’t you?”
“Xyla… To be honest, getting a divorce is not a big deal. If it really did happen, you can admit it openly. After all, it’s very normal to get a divorce these days. If it didn’t happen, you should get Stanley to tell everyone so that the rumors can be stopped,” Emily said.
“That’s right. If you didn’t get a divorce, you should call your husband to tell everyone so. Rumors like this can get out of hand if you don’t stop it from spreading,” the same rich wife from before said.
“Exactly. Call your husband immediately to end this rumor…” Another rich wife added.
Jeremy immediately looked at Xyla.
“Xyla… Call Stan later to end this rumor. These aunties are right…” He said.
Emily looked at Xyla with anticipation. She was waiting for Xyla to make the shocking reveal.
Now that everyone was insisting on it, Xyla surely would admit the truth, wouldn’t she?
What would be the best way for virtual-novel.net to mock Xyla next?
What did Emily have to do to appear as if virtual-novel.net felt bad for virtual-novel.net sister but could still make Xyla feel mocked from the bottom of virtual-novel.net heart?
“That’s right, Xyla. Listen to Dad. Hurry up and call Stanley. If you didn’t get a divorce, call virtual-novel.net right now so that other people stop spreading the false rumor,” Emily added.
Xyla chuckled softly.
“Since you want to make it such a big deal… Don’t regret it later,” virtual-novel.net said.
“What do you mean?” Emily asked.
