Chapter 990


    “Obviously, she’s just a stand-in wife for a gay couple, but she’s keeping up an act and pretending


    she’s a happy little princess. X Quest, I’ve got to give it to you.”


    “Hahaha… I can’t stopughing for my life. It turns out you’re married to a gay man, aren’t you?


    Why are you still showing off how happy you are every day?”


    “Tsk, tsk, tsk… Truly a pitiful woman. What’s the point of being married to Stanley Batton? He


    doesn’t even like you.”


    “No matter how good you look, and how great a body you have, none of it matters if you don’t have


    a good husband who loves you.”


    “X Quest, I truly feel embarrassed for your parents. Does your family know that you are married


    to a gay man?”

    “Stanley Batton, this is considered an extra-marital affair. X Quest, you truly do deserve pity.”


    Every word X Quest saw was like a sharp needle that poked at her eyes.


    She wasn’t at all surprised that everyone would send her private messages like these.


    Many people were like this sometimes.


    When you’re doing fine, they’d praise you as best they could. But when you’re not doing fine, they’d


    kick you to the curb.


    This was especially true for people on the inte.


    It was because they could hide behind their screens over the inte, and nobody could see their


    faces.


    Hence, they could put their ugly selves on disy without any concern.


    Those people always liked to criticize others who were better than them to vent their dissatisfaction


    in real life.


    When X saw these messages, she didn’t show any emotion in her eyes.


    She picked up her phone and dialed Stanley Batton’s number first.


    Meanwhile, Stanley was drinking tea with Josh Batton at thetter’s house…


    When Stanley saw X’s phone call, he immediately smiled handsomely. “What’s up, darling?”


    “Honey… Did you see thetest hot topic? The one about you and Josh.” X went straight to the


    point.


    “What do you mean?” Stanley was immediately confused by the question.


    With that, he subconsciously looked up at Josh.


    X instantly told Stanley everything.


    After hearing all this, Stanley’s eyes still seemed emotionless.


    Some paparazzi and reporters liked to get whatever gossip they could, and Stanley knew this…


    He wasn’t exactly surprised that something like this would be spread after photos of him were


    taken.


    Stanley was used to major incidents like this.


    A small thing like this wasn’t enough to stir up too much emotion in his heart.


    “I came to Josh’s ce to discuss something important. These people really know how to make up


    stories,” Stanley said coldly.


    Josh was sitting right next to Stanley. When Stanley was on the call, his phone was close to Josh.


    Hence, Josh could hear everything being said over the phone clearly.


    Josh was about to pick up his tea but paused. A bitter smile appeared on his face, and it was


    obvious upon his lips.


    It was a surprise that paparazzi could capture even something like this…


    “Are you still with Josh?” X asked.


    “Yeah,” Stanley said.


    “Because he’s an A-list celebrity, things have been blown out of proportion. If we suddenly try to


    suppress the news, it’ll only cause extremely negative effects.


    “That’s why you two should step forward and exin things. Otherwise, it’ll definitely have a


    negative impact on Josh’s professional career as well as Dragon Group’s corporate image.” X


    carefully provided an analysis.


    “In that case, we’ll just make it public… If we deny it, some people will probably not believe it. Topics


    like this that are rted to sexuality are still very sensitive in our country. I don’t want people to


    make all sorts of spection about me…” Stanley answered earnestly.


    With that, Stanley turned to look at Josh. “What do you think?” Stanley asked.
