Chapter 1941 Chapter 1941 Annabeth Cates respected the production crew...

After watching the entire episode, Annabeth quickly logged into Weibo on her computer.

She then rested her head against Josh Batton's shoulder before naturally opening the list of hot topics.

Just as she expected, '#Annabeth Cates and Josh Batton on Their Day Together#' was on the number one spot.

Its level of popularity had gone through the roof.

There was the word 'explosive' behind the topic.

Meanwhile, '#You're My Love#' made it onto the second spot on the list.

It was also wildly popular.

There was also the word 'explosive' behind the topic.

Annabeth instantly opened the first topic to look at it.

The most recent posts on the topic were published by several marketing accounts. There were short clips of Annabeth and Josh interacting with each other.

Meanwhile, Josh's fans and random netizens commented below those posts- "I'm purely a random netizen. After seeing all this, I've become a fan of Josh, the handsome and loving husband..."

"As a random netizen, I'm genuinely envious of this couple. They seem so lovely together..."

"Josh's life as a married man is exactly the way I imagined. With a husband like him, what more could one ask for?"

"I don't want to say I'm jealous of Annabeth again. As a single person, I can't take this anymore..."

"I have certainly become a fan. Josh is the best person in the entire entertainment industry."

"I never thought I'd become so Sve of Josh and his wife a as I nearly wanted to quiting I his fan once when I got so upset."

Annabeth subconsciously smiled when she saw those comments, feeling relieved that they were mostly positive.

She didn't mind what people said about her. The one thing that made her happy was Josh's well-being.

Nearby, Josh seemed calm with no emotions in his eyes.

Annabeth didn't comment but silently clicked on the second hot topic.

There were various short clips of Josh performing 'You're My Love' on the topic, some publicized by marketing accounts.

The praises were enough to make one feel giddy.

Josh's fans and random netizens voiced all sorts of things- "Annabeth is the luckiest woman alive. Isn't Josh way too talented? I've become a fan."

"The lyrics are full of Josh's love for Annabeth. He must love her very deeply to write such romantic lyrics, right?"

"You're a ray of light in my life, keeping me warm through all four seasons and in the darkest of nights. Annabeth must be even more delicate in real life, right? Josh is so lucky."

"I'll treat your as if it's the first time we met so that you'll have a lifetime of passionate romance. Such wonderful lyrics. Josh, you must love her to bits."

"Oh, my girl. I'll give you a wonderful life. I'll be gentle and considerate. I'm so jealous!"

Annabeth felt emotional when she read these comments.

They were right. Josh must have loved her a lot to write such touching lyrics.

Annabeth felt very lucky.

"Josh, all the reviews for your new song are positive," she gushed, beaming at him.

"Call me Honey." Josh affectionately ruffled Annabeth's hair, his tone equally affectionate while smiling gently.

Chapter 1942 Chapter 1942 Josh Batton's smile was the most beautiful thing Annabeth Cates had ever seen.

Her love for him was almost like a lifelong religion; she was willing to sacrifice everything for him.

"Honey," she called out softly with a smile on her face.

"Yes..." Josh returned her smile. "Why don't you continue browsing? I'll head upstairs to get the bath ready for you, okay?"

"Okay."

"Good girl," he said before heading up the stairs.

Once he had left, Annabeth shifted her attention back to the hot topics on Weibo.

According to the app, 'Their Day Together' already had two billion views, the highest viewing rate in the history of variety shows.

From the looks of it, it would be difficult to surpass this record.

Because of this episode, Josh's followers increased by five million as soon as it aired.

He also had over two million followers on his community fan page.

Annabeth was pleased with all the good news.

These statistics proved that her husband's position as the top celebrity on the continent was unshakeable, despite them getting married. Josh was still Josh at the end of the day.

As long as he remained relevant in the entertainment industry, he would forever stay on the peak of popularity and bask in the glory of fame. Annabeth clicked on her own page, noticing that the accounts she followed were all sharing posts related to Josh on the variety show. The comments were all positive.

Meanwhile, her own followers on Weibo had increased by 500,000 since the show aired, accumulating up to five million because of Josh. She even had more followers than some B-list celebrities in the country.

Meanwhile, she also noticed many unread messages on Weibo.

Out of curiosity, she clicked into her inbox to find private messages from his fans and random netizens "Annabeth, I'm a fan of Josh's. I I'ma know you must be a very good person, and that's why Josh loves you so much. I hope you continue to look after Josh. Thank you for loving my idol and taking such good care of him."

on "Honestly, I didn't understand why Josh would fall for you, but after watching the episode, I can now understand why. You deserve to be with him, Annabeth."

"Annabeth, although you and I are of the same age, here I am still struggling to buy tickets to Josh's concert while you already have Josh all to yourself. Our fates couldn't be more different. However, I still wish you both all the happiness in the world."

"Honestly speaking, I've become a fan because of who you are."

"You two are a lovely couple. I like you both a lot. Please don't ever get a divorce."

"Because of you two, I believe in love again. Thank you."

When Annabeth and Josh first announced they were officially together, the comments they received were full of jealousy and hatred. Now, all she saw were heart-warming and positive.

She was glad to see the change.

While reading the comments, Annabeth subconsciously began to smile again.

After returning to her main page, Annabeth saw that Stanley Batton, Xyla Quest, and Georgie Clementine had all forwarded the episode's footage.

Stanley only added a simple 'thumbs-up' emoji in his post, while Xyla and Georgie wrote a bunch of compliments.

Chapter 1943 Chapter 1943 Annabeth Cates was delighted with what she saw.

While reading through the comments, she also saw one from Sharon Lindt.

"Josh has done well. He is a good son," Mother of Fairies wrote.

Annabeth instantly forwarded Sharon's comment. "Hahaha, Mom, don't worry. He's very good to me."

Not long after she forwarded that, there were more than a thousand forwards, likes, and comments to this post- "Is this your mother-in-law? Hahahaha. Why is she so adorable?"

"That's hilarious! Nice to meet you, @Mother of Fairies."

"Other people always have good mothers-in-law. I'm so jealous."

"@Josh Batton, I sympathize with you. Your status at home must be very low."

"Annabeth is Sharon's new favorite now. She's forgotten all about her son, Josh."

Reading through these comments was amusing and entertaining to Annabeth.

Meanwhile, in the bathroom upstairs, Josh sprinkled some rose petals into the filled bathtub, then picked up his phone and prepared to call his wife. The fragrant scent of roses wafted through the air along with the mist in the bathroom.

It was a soothing scent.

The bright colors floating on the water were eye-catching.

Beep, beep, beep- Right then, his phone started ringing.

He promptly answered the call when he saw that it was Georgie Clementine- "Georgie," he said by way of greeting before directly walking downstairs with his phone held to his ear.

He made it look like he was walking down the fashion runway, even if he was only taking a few short steps.

"Josh, congratulations! 'Their Day Together' has reached exceptional viewer ratings. This topic also has obtained record-high popularity on Weibo.

"You and Annabeth gained countless Ine fans through this episode. Your fanbase, in particular, is still expanding rapidly." Georgie sounded indescribably joyful.

Josh grinned. "It's all thanks to you, Georgie, you and your great use of resources."

"No, it's because of your great performance," Georgie insisted. "Oh, right. There's something I wanted to discuss with you."

"Go ahead," Josh told her, feeling curious.

"Here's the thing, the director from Lychee Terrace called me earlier. They are preparing to launch a reality show about a celebrity couple's married life. However, this isn't filmed in a single episode, but over twelve episodes in one season. You would have to participate from the beginning to the end with most of them filmed in your house. There will be a few external shots.

"I was thinking of rejecting it right away because I know about your current situation, but I wanted to ask you first as it is a major production. The other names thrown in are popular as well, and I couldn't just turn it down so casually.

"He offered 200 million," she explained.

"Hmm, you can go ahead and turn it down," Josh said without hesitation after hearing what Georgie said.

"I bet there will be similar offers in the future because of the episode's immense popularity. Turn all of them down, too.

"Annabeth will get tired if we do too much. It doesn't matter how much they are offering. Nothing is more important than my wife's health," Josh said.

Coincidentally, at that very moment, Annabeth was walking up the stairs.

She overheard what Josh said after taking a few steps forward.

Chapter 1944 Chapter 1944 When Annabeth Cates heard what Josh Batton said, she instantly felt her heart swelling with warmth.

She could guess what the subject matter was about, despite not hearing the entire conversation.

She hastened her steps towards him.

When Josh saw her rapid pace, he immediately dashed forward and grabbed her by the arms with a nervous look on his face.

Covering his phone with one hand, he gazed at Annabeth in alarm. "What are you doing? Haven't I told you not to walk up the stairs so fast? What if you end up hurting yourself? How are you going to compensate for that?"

"I'll find a way, I guess," she answered.

"You can't."

Annabeth was speechless.

"Wait for me upstairs. I'm having a chat with Georgie," Josh said.

Knowing Georgie was on the other end of the line, she immediately snatched the phone away from him. "Georgie, are we invited to take part in another couple's variety show?"

"Yes," Georgie answered truthfully.

Annabeth leaned against the railing after hearing this. She then turned to look at her husband. "Is this show good, Georgie?"

"Well, it's definitely good stuff if it's coming from Lychee Terrace. However, I'm going to turn them down. Let's not dwell on this any further," Georgie expressed.

"Don't turn them down yet. Wait for me to discuss with Josh first," Annabeth said firmly.

"All right then."

Afterward, Annabeth hung up the phone and caught Josh gazing back at her in curiosity. "Do you want to take part in the show? You're pregnant, and it will be very tiring as there will be outdoor shots in that show."

Annabeth quickly stepped forward and held his hand. "But I'm not worried about being tired. Besides, I'm no longer suffering from pregnancy-related side effects. I'm not afraid of the cold or anything like that anymore.

"I'm fit and healthy. I can accompany you on shows like 'Their Day Together'. Can't you see how much popularity you've gained from it?

"We should strike while the iron is hot. It will solidify your image as a good man. Your career will certainly keep getting better if we do this," she told him earnestly.

Seeing the sincere look in her eyes, Josh felt touched and grateful.

He could tell that Annabeth genuinely wanted the best for him.

However, he refused without hesitation. "Listen up. Money, fame, and status are nowhere near as important as you. You are pregnant and should behave so. Stay home, rest, and don't overthink things." Annabeth immediately sobered. "Don't other pregnant women work?"

"You aren't other women." Josh still looked stern.

"Xyla is working, too, yet Stanley hasn't said anything about it," she voiced helplessly.

"Xyla runs her own company, so she can't help it. You do not."

"I just wanted to help you," she said, sighing.

Josh chuckled and held her face with both hands. "Silly girl, I don't need you to help me with anything. I've told you, all you need to do is look pretty."

Annabeth felt moved. "Josh..."

"Hmm?"

She gazed at him with a curious look in her eyes. "Why are you so good to me? Don't you feel tempted by 200 million dollars?"

She was.

Josh chuckled again. "Hmm, I was. Nobody would feel completely indifferent about money. However, I also know that this isn't the time to be greedy."

Josh gently kissed Annabeth on the forehead Annabeth, focus on getting enough rest for the baby. Don't worry about my career. make sure everything progresses smoothly."

Seeing how determined he seemed, she decided to remain silent like an obedient cat.

"Let's go and take a bath, okay?" Josh asked.

"Okay."

As soon as Annabeth uttered her reply, Josh extended his arms and picked her up effortlessly. He then carried her into the bathroom upstairs. After their bath together, Josh dried Annabeth's hair for her before she did her evening skincare routine in front of the dressing mirror.

There was an array of exclusive, custom-made skincare products from international brands on the dressing table.

Ever since Annabeth had gotten married to Josh, everything she ate, wore, and used was vastly different from before. Everything had become elevated in terms of quality.

For example, Annabeth had never seen a small bottle of skincare that cost as much as a house in a small town.

A notification popped up on her phone just as she began to apply her skincare, her screen lighting up- "Josh refuses a 200 million deal for Annabeth's sake."

How did it get onto the news so soon?

Indeed, Josh was a top-notch celebrity.

When Annabeth saw the headline, she instantly clicked on it.

It was a recent Weibo post on Weibo News- "According to a staff member from Lychee Terrace, Josh Batton's manager and CEO of X Entertainment, Georgie Clementine, earlier rejected their offer for a new couple's reality show, 'Life After Marriage'. From what we know, Lychee Terrace offered the high price of 200 million to engage Josh and his wife, but he turned them down out of concern for his pregnant wife."

One second after this Weibo post was published, there were already over six-figure forwards, likes, and comments— "200 million? Did he turn the offer down just like that? D*mn!"

"If it was my husband, he would probably force me to participate even if I was pregnant and throwing up blood."

"To be honest, a couple's reality show isn't all that tiring. All the couple needs to do is film their daily lives Maybe Josh is being too cautious?"

én.swnovels.net "He must really love her. 200 million, and he turned down such a great offer for his wife. That's impressive."

"In comparison, male celebrities who force their pregnant wives for money are jerks."

Annabeth quickly scanned through the comments, finding them in a similar vein, so she closed the app.

It was nearly time for bed. Annabeth hurriedly put on her skincare products and went to bed.

The next day, news broke of Quest Group launching an effective medicine to cure leukemia, taking the media by surprise.

Suddenly, all news platforms were reporting this news.

Xyla Quest and her company, Quest Group, were pushed into the limelight, appearing on various major search engines as 'Exclusive' news. This matter stirred up a heated discussion on Weibo.

Chapter 1945 Chapter 1945 Quest Group's official Weibo account called this medicine Resurrection Pill. A single pill was enough to cure different variations of the leukemia illness.

At the same time, Quest Group also shared success stories from pharmaceutical companies it owned about how the medicine could cure patients with leukemia. Quest Group hoped to gain everyone's trust.

The company claimed that the cost of production for a single pill was five thousand dollars and that the company wouldn't make any profit from sales.

Suddenly, the company's official Weibo page came under fire, with people commenting with all sorts of criticisms.

"Who would believe your claim that a single pill that costs five thousand could cure all variations of leukemia? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

"What kind of herbs require five thousand to produce? This is a gimmick to fool the unintelligent folks. I thought Xyla was a decent person. Yucks! Indeed, she's a disgusting capitalist!" "Whoever buys this medicine is an idiot! Five thousand for a pill. You might as well rob a bank!"

"Frankly speaking, if spending five thousand can cure the illness, it is, of course, worth the money. But everyone knows leukemia cannot be cured with a single pill. It requires time, right?" "Yucks! How can the government allow such pharmaceutical companies to continue their operations? Do they have special rights? @Xyla Quest, why don't you go to hell?"

"What's the matter? Are Dragon Group and Quest Group going bankrupt at the same time? Are you running out of money? How dare you try to scam the public?"

"What happened to law and justice? Why isn't anybody keeping this under control? Hurry up and arrest Xyla for further investigation!"

Meanwhile, some respected experts in the country came out to support Quest Group, claiming that the medicine was effective.

Unfortunately, these respected experts also came under fire, with none spared from critics and skeptics.

Xyla Quest, who was in her office in Quest Group, could see all this on her phone.

She was afraid something like this would happen. It was why she specifically went to some hospitals in Atlantis to look for patients suffering from severe cases of leukemia to give them free treatments.

Lovel.n Firstly, she intended to help those people. Secondly, she wanted to use their recovery and testimonials to validate the effectiveness of the medicine.

In addition to those, Xyla also invited reputable experts specializing in leukemia research to witness the progress.

She hoped these experts could prove her claim to gain the public's trust so that her plans for the future would go smoothly.

However, despite all that, her efforts were not paying off.

Everyone was still doubtful.

However, Xyla expected all this, having thought of this possibility in advance.

Everything just happened to be much worse than anticipated.

She thought that some people might believe t viability of the medicine with so many experts on her side, but it seemed that was not the case.

They thought of Xyla as a profit-driven, merciless capitalist, but none of this stirred up too many emotions in her heart. She wouldn't give up on this without a fight.

After scrolling through Weibo for a while, she saw some unknown professionals appearing out of nowhere to criticize her.

Chapter 1946 Chapter 1946 Those people were expressing dissatisfaction toward Xyla Quest- "The so-called 'effective medicine for leukemia' Quest Group just launched is such a joke. I honestly don't know how dumb a person must be to fall for it."

"Everyone knows that there are limited methods of curing leukemia for now. There are no new methods at all. After all, this is a very serious disease related to one's blood. I am speechless."

"Even the best experts in the world wouldn't claim that they can cure leukemia with a single pill. Xyla, honestly... do you need money that badly? I advise everyone not to buy the pill. After all, it doesn't work." "As someone who has been researching leukemia for over thirty years, I can tell you that Quest Group's medicine is a fraud. I hope none of you fall for it."

"I've been researching leukemia for fifty years. I can tell you that their so-called recovery cases are all fake. They paid those patients to lie."

The comments from 'experts' were similar, making Xyla feel helpless when she read the comments.

However, she could understand what these people were thinking.

Xyla saw another comment from an expert amidst all the negative comments- "My wife has leukemia too, but I'm not interested in Xyla's medicine at all because it doesn't work. I wouldn't buy it even if she begs me. I don't want to say more as it would only affect my image," Larry Wick wrote.

Xyla gently pinched her forehead while continuing to browse through the comments.

There was nothing but criticism.

Now, she was practically the most hated person on the internet.

Some of her competitors even privately messaged her, taking the moral high ground as they questioned her actions.

Nevertheless, Xyla didn't mind. Hadn't she gone through enough hardship over the years?

She remained calm and collected.

Pinching her forehead gently, she closed Weibo and leaned lazily against her leather chair. Closing her eyes, she thought about her next steps. next swr Based on her original plan, the next step should be...

As she pondered over things, her brows raised a little before she picked up her phone to make a call.

***

Meanwhile, Josh Batton, who was giving Annabeth Cates some piano lessons, noticed his phone pinging.

When he saw the news about Xyla, he immediately clicked on it and started reading with Annabeth looking at his screen as well.

The news reported that Quest Group had launched an effective medicine for leukemia, but now the netizens were criticizing Xyla because of it.

A look of surprise appeared in Josh's eyes after he read this.

He never expected Xyla would come up with something so miraculous.

Josh fall well that she could never her to be.

people were accusing She would never make a false claim like this, nor mak lie to people.

Annabeth seemed confused. "I didn't know Xyla was capable of achieving something like this. Isn't she amazing?"

At that moment, she deeply admired Xyla, knowing that she was medically trained. But she never expected her to be capable of something so significant and life-altering.

Annabeth was beginning to understand why Josh had fallen for Xyla in the past.

Chapter 1947 Chapter 1947 "Why must these people criticize Xyla? I believe she wouldn't make up something ridiculous like this if it wasn't reliable." "Also, aren't there many cases of people recovering from their illnesses? Why do these people still doubt and criticize her?"

"Josh, hurry up and help Xyla by yelling at those people on Weibo," Annabeth Cates said, feeling annoyed just by looking at screenshots of those criticisms.

Even someone with a good temperament like her couldn't stand it.

She didn't dare to imagine how Xyla Quest would feel.

"How can they say five thousand is too expensive, or even doubt the cost of production for those pills? There are many expensive herbal ingredients out there. Don't these people have access to the internet?" Annabeth couldn't resist grumbling.

The way she was huffing and puffing seemed extremely adorable to Josh, prompting him to ruffle her hair affectionately.

"All right, I will."

She resumed mumbling, "Xyla is amazing and she's making a difference for mankind. We are both women, but why is she so gifted? I finally understand why you used to like her.

"Who wouldn't fall for a wonderful woman like her?" Annabeth asked out loud.

Belatedly, she realized she had let her thoughts slip out accidentally.

Her mouth snapped shut, blushing as she peered at him in alarm.

A look of surprise appeared in Josh's eyes when he heard what she said.

"So, did you know all this time?" he asked.

Annabeth smiled a little with an awkward expression on her face. "Yeah, I knew. I just never asked."

Josh carefully plopped her down on his lap, wrapping his arms around her waist. "Hmm, then I think I need to give you a proper explanation to avoid any misunderstanding between us."

"It's fine. I understand how you feel. There is no misunderstanding between us. Josh, I really can relate,” she assured him.

"There you go, calling me 'Josh' again. Call me 'Honey'."

"Okay, Honey." Annabeth was very compliant.

"Good. Don't speak for now, but listen to what I have to say, okay? Indeed, I used to like Xyla a lot, so much, I thought I would never fall in love with anybody else.

"I thought I might even stay single for the rest of my life, but then, you came along.

"Your presence allowed me to gradually discover that I could fall in love with another person. It turned out that letting someone go wasn't as hard as I thought, and now, I have no feelings for Xyla at all. "Annabeth, you don't have to worry about this. Ever since we decided to get married, I've been trying to stop thinking about her. Without a doubt, I've already completely let her go.

"That's why I hope you can get rid of all your feelings of insecurity. After all, you're the only person that I love right now, the only one I want to be with for the rest of our lives," he expressed affectionately. When Annabeth heard what Josh had to say, she immediately felt warm in her heart.

She turned around and hugged him tightly. "Honey, I know how you feel. Honestly, when you didn't tell me how you felt at first, I've always had doubts in my mind.

"But after we made everything clear, and I understood how you felt, I never doubted you again. All the doubts in my mind went away."

With that, Annabeth naturally leaned against his chest.

Josh let out a long sigh of relief. "That's great. Annabeth, you're the only person I love."

Beep, beep, beep- Josh's phone buzzed right then.

Someone named Nancy Antler had sent him a Wechat message.

Josh openly clicked on the message and glanced at it, not hiding it from Annabeth, who knew about her.

"I'm in Atlantis. Would you want to join me for a meal? Everyone from our production crew is here."

Nancy was the lead actress in a period drama, starring opposite Josh back then.

She had expressed her feelings for him over Wechat. Once, she hadé invited him to her room to go through their scripts in the middle of the night.

However, Josh turned her down.

Back then, Annabeth had only just started working for him and was still new to the entertainment industry.

She was genuinely shocked by how straightforward Nancy was with her interest, considering that she had an innocent public persona.

From her behavior, Annabeth witnessed how people in the entertainment industry could be deceptive.

Their public persona was just that and nothing more.

At that moment, Annabeth couldn't help but frown, unable to hide thee of disgust in her eyes. "

given up on you yet.

belongs to FindNovel went Josh carefully pecked her on the cheek, gazing down tenderly at her. "What's the matter? Why do I sense jealousy in the air?"

"Can't I feel jealous when it comes to my husband?" Annabeth asked.

"You can," Josh replied thoughtfully before handing his phone over to her. "Do it."

She held his phone and looked at him with a puzzled frown. "What do you mean?"

"Delete her contact. Isn't that what girls like to do?" he asked.

Shaking her head, she returned his phone. "Let's not do that. You're both in the entertainment industry, and it would be tough to avoid her.

knows? You might one day wo together on the same project again. It would be super awkward if you bump into each other after you've deleted her contact. Can't you turn her down instead?"

When Josh heard this, he admired his wife even more. "Hmm, such a smart girl."

If Annabeth had been like other girls, she would have chosen to delete the person's contact.

However, Annabeth had a very logical approach.

Josh chuckled and directly deleted Nancy's contact. "We won't work together again. Will that do?"

"I just said you don't have to do that," Annabeth muttered.

"I'm annoyed by her, is that all right?"

Chapter 1948 Chapter 1948 "Fine, you've already deleted her contact anyway. That will be the end of that, but please don't do this again," Annabeth Cates told her husband. "We'll discuss it next time then," Josh Batton replied and then handed his phone over to her again. "How do you plan to speak up for Xyla?" Annabeth directly logged into his Weibo account before forwarding a post by Quest Group. It was a post related to the medicine for leukemia. "Get your facts right before criticizing others. I support Xyla Quest," she typed.

Immediately after that, she turned her attention to Josh. "Will this do?"

He still had an affectionate look in his eyes. "As long as you're fine with it."

"I think it's fine," she said confidently before pressing the button to publish the post.

Instantly, the comment section under post went wild- "Josh, are you crazy? Things are already getting out of hand. Why are you still supporting Xyla? Don't you want to live anymore?"

"Xyla is selling fake medicine. How could you support her? It looks like I was wrong about you. Our relationship ends here."

"I have a question. What should I do if my idol is an idiot?" someone asked.

"Stop being his fan," many people replied.

The criticisms kept coming one after another. Annabeth and Josh both felt helpless despite knowing this was only temporary. Once Xyla was proven correct, the criticisms would cease as well.

At the same time, Xyla, in her own office, noticed Josh's Weibo post to show his support along with the hateful comments that followed. Not long after, she also saw Georgie Clementine, X Entertainment's official Weibo page, and Sharon Lindt showing their support to her. Unsurprisingly, criticisms followed in their wake.

Xyla frowned when she saw all this.

She didn't mind being a target for the haters, but she drew the line when it came to people she loved.

While perusing through all the comments, Xyla saw that Stanley had voiced out too- "I support my wife. Anybody who continues to disparage her will have their account banned."

Soon, his post came under attack with hateful comments- "Are you under Xyla's spell? How could you support something like this? Do you want to ruin Dragon Group's reputation?"

"I thought you would condemn Xyla too. I can't believe you're actually supporting her instead."

"I've got to hand it to you both. You'll be known as the fraudulent couple from now on."

"I can't believe I used to admire the two of you. That's not even possible anymore. Ban my account if you wantto. Do you think that would stop me from criticizing you?"

"Hehehe, he's angry because he knows he's wrong. Are you going to abuse your powers? So what if you're rich?"

Xyla's frown deepened as she read through the comments.

She promptly gave Georgie a call. "Speed things up, Georgie."

She needed to sort this out quickly as she didn't want her close friends and family to come under fire.

After hanging up the phone, Xyla shifted her attention from Weibo to the pile of documents on her desk, sighing as she began to review them.

swnev Meanwhile, many protesters had gathered outside Quest Group's building. They were waving banners as they accused Xyla of being a fraud.

Likewise, protesters also gathered in front of the President and Vice President's residence, holding, banners that read, "Please send Xyla Quest into exile."

Chapter 1949 Chapter 1949 Things were getting out of hand, but the President and Vice President never addressed the public.

The longer they waited, the more frustrated everyone seemed to be.

The protesters weren't only holding up banners but began to scream crazily.

Everything very quickly made its way onto the internet.

Everyone condemned the President and Vice President for not responding to protect Xyla Quest, who had become the talk of the town. Outside, it was raining cats and dogs.

Xyla was still sitting calmly in her office in Quest Group, silently reviewing work documents while ignoring whatever was happening outside. Sometimes, paying too much attention to those things only made her exhausted. She was better off completely ignoring those people.

Once the truth came out, it would all be over anyway.

By noon, the criticisms had escalated to an extreme level.

Weibo even crashed several times because of the high volume of traffic.

After technicians fixed the app for the last time, a famous doctor and medical expert, Danny Hackett, published a post- "Speak with facts."

He had attached a video beneath his simple sentence, one taken at his leukemia treatment center.

In the video, leukemia patients on the verge of dying in the intensive care unit had taken the medicine and recovered immediately. Families of those patients were all crying with gratitude while thanking Xyla.

The final leukemia patient was the President's mother, who was ninety years old and initially slotted for a bone marrow transplant surgery.

However, before the surgery took place, she had taken the medicine and fully recovered, looking fit as a fiddle.

At the end of the video, the old woman looked excitedly at the camera. "Thank you, Xyla. Your Resurrection Pill really does work."

At that moment, the President also appeared on camera, openly expressing his support for Xyla's latest breakthrough.

"Regardless of who you are, if this medicine doesn't work for you, th Ministry of Finance will reimburse you ten times the amount you spent on behalf of Quest Group.

"For your health, I hope you choose to believe in Xyla,” the President added before the video ended.

Not long after this video was published, Stanley Batton, Josh Batton and artistes from X Entertainment all forwarded the post and openly supported Xyla Meanwhile, various ministries in the country also forwarded the post on their official Weibo accounts to show support.

In an instant, the entire thing blew up on the internet, sparking another heated discussion by netizens— "Why does this look so real? We all know that the President's mother has leukemia. That is not fake news."

"I doubt the President would lie to us. Besides, he even said the country would reimburse patients ten times the amount they paid if the medicine didn't work. If it was fake, the President must be crazy."

"Since the President shows such strong support for Xyla, that means the medicine does work. Unless, of course, he is resigning soon."

"Ahh, is this true? I remember the President mentioned his concerns over his mother's battle with leukemia last year during an interview."

"I think I'll believe in what the President says. There's no reason not to."

Chapter 1950 Chapter 1950 The public's comments turned positive within an instant.

After working for a while, Xyla Quest began to feel a little tired. She turned off her laptop and launched Weibo for an update.

The things she read on Weibo were just as she expected.

At that point, she noticed unread messages flooding her Weibo inbox- "Xyla, I'm so sorry. I didn't think you'd be such an amazing person."

"Thank you for contributing to the betterment of mankind."

"To be honest, if the medicine works, five thousand isn't a lot. Long live Xyla."

"Xyla, you're the most wonderful person in the world. I'm sorry."

At the same time, Xyla also saw a post that drew her attention.

"@XylaQuest, your medicine is sold out on the official sales channel. When will there be a replenishment? Are there any other channels I could purchase from?"

This comment came from the leukemia expert, Larry Wick, who had previously claimed he would never buy the medicine from Xyla even if she begged him.

When Xyla saw this abject post from Larry, she smiled subconsciously.

However, the sentiment didn't reach her heart.

After all, it was only human nature.

After taking a deep breath, she forwarded the post and replied to it.

"All purchases of this Resurrection Pill can only be done from our official page. My team will speed up production, and once the new batch is ready, it will be updated on the page." Quest Group's pharmaceutical company had 100,000 Resurrection Pills in storage.

As far as she knew, all the existing stock had already been made available for purchase.

Everyone refused to purchase the Resurrection Pill before the President and the others stepped up to prove the effectiveness of the medicine.

However, in less than ten minutes, every single one in the inventory was sold out.

These were terrifying figures.

After replying to the post, Xyla noticed over 500,000 forwards, likes, and comments under Larry's Weibo post. The comments were hilarious- "Weren't you saying you wouldn't buy the medicine from Xyla even if she begged you? Why are you the one begging her now? Are you an actor? You sure know how to put on an act."

"With your acting skills, you should be in theater productions. It's shame that you are cha skills to work."

"Hahaha, this is hilarious. Didn't you say you wouldn't buy it no matter what? Don't you feel embarrassed now?"

"Hahaha, you must hate yourself so much right now. Hahaha."

Xyla chuckled before clicking on the list of hot topics.

Just as she expected, the Resurrection Pill dominated the list.

Hot topic number one: '#Xyla Quest's Resurrection Pill is effective# Explosive'.

Hot topic number two: '#An effective cure for leukemia, Resurrection Pill# Explosive'.

Hot topic number three: '#Xyla Quest's pharmaceutical company# Explosive'.

Hot topic number four: '#Resurrection Pill has a fixed price of five thousand dollars# Boiling'.

Hot topic number five: '#Xyla Quest's Resurrection Pill# Boiling'.

Hot topic number six: '#President speaks up for Xyla Quest# Boiling'.

Xyla was overwhelmed by all the topics she saw, and yet she didn't care too much about any of this.

The only thing she cared about was that everyone truly accepted the Resurrection Pill.
