Chapter 729


    Stanley Batton slowly took two white handkerchiefs out of his pocket.


    After handing one over to Sharon Lindt, he used the other to wipe the sweat off X Quest’s


    forehead gently and neck.


    He was very gentle when he did this.


    “I’ll do it myself…” X held Stanley’s hand and said.


    “Allow me.” Stanley looked gently at X and continued to wipe her sweat away.


    The woman who tried to seduce Stanley, as well as her friends, witnessed all of this.


    They were greatly stunned by Stanley’s drastic change in attitude.


    Meanwhile, they were also very much impressed with X’s good looks.


    Now, the woman who tried to seduce Stanley knew why she failed.


    X was a real beauty, but what about her…? Was she just a wildflower in the corner that would


    never be noticed?


    “I didn’t think he could be so gentle.”


    “That woman is so pretty… It exins why her husband wouldn’t cheat on her.”


    “She looks a little familiar.”


    “That man treats everyone coldly except for his wife, whom he also is very protective of. How lucky


    could this woman get?”


    Friends of the woman who tried to seduce Stanley looked at X and Stanley enviously while they


    discussed among themselves.


    The woman didn’t say anything. Her eyes were filled with jealousy.


    ***


    By one o’clock in the morning, X, Stanley, and Sharon finally left the bar.


    The couple sent Sharon home before returning to their own house.


    As soon as they arrived, X sat exhaustedly on the couch.


    The couch was so soft that it sank deeply where she sat down.


    Instantly, the softness made X feel a great sense of relief from her exhaustion.


    After kicking her shoes off, sheid down on the couch.


    “I’m so tired…” She said.


    X had no idea that her mother-inw would have such great stamina.


    “Honey… I’d like to dip my feet in some warm water to rx a little… Do you want to as well?” X


    asked.


    “Sure… I’ll get the water ready for you.” Stanley stood up and walked to the bathroom.


    Meanwhile, X took her phone out and went on Weibo.


    She was hoping that the earlier gossip between herself and Zack Cassidy would have died down by


    now.


    After all, she had already exined everything clearly.


    However, when she opened the list of trending topics, she realized she had been too hopeful…


    X was able to find her name amongst the numerous popr topics about Josh Batton and


    Shawn Gilbert.


    Right then, the articles about her ranked on the fifth, the sixth, and the seventh spot on the list of


    trending topics.

    Number five, ‘#X Quest lies# Shocking’.


    Number six, ‘Flowers all over the city for X Quest# Shocking’.


    Number seven, ‘#X Quest cheats# Shocking’.


    X hadn’t expected any of these three topics toe up.


    Nobody should have known that the flowers decorated all over the city were for her. How did it get


    exposed?


    Also…


    X had clearly exined everything behind the allegations that she cheated. Why was the topic


    still on the list?


    X first tapped on the link that mentioned she lied.


    Within the topic, many marketing ounts imed that she was lying. In fact, they even said that


    employees in Dragon Group revealed X’s frequent visits to thepany. They contended that


    Zack and X’s rtionship was unusual. In fact, X was even rumored to have brought Zack


    home and kissed him in front of her husband.
