Chapter 1879


    Why were these people so against X Quest having a good life?


    It wasn''t enough for her to respond to theseme rumors, but they even demanded that Stanley Batton did the same, too.


    Never mind that.


    ording to them, Stanley''s silence meant there was truth in the rumor, and X was putting up a front against this cheating drama.


    She couldn''t be bothered to respond anymore, she decided as she silently exited the app. After brewing herself a cup of coffee, she resumed her work.


    Her haters continued to stir up trouble as she worked, many of them iming that she wasn''t responding because she had no defense.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Why are you silent? Do you have nothing to say?"


    "I''ve said before that X''s marriage seemed fake. Now, it seems that is the case."


    "Why must she put up an act?"


    Meanwhile, X was blissfully unaware of all these as she devoted her full attention to work.


    Knock, knock, knock.


    Three sharp raps against the door sounded as X went through her third document, prompting her to look up from her paperwork.


    Before she could speak, the door opened to reveal Sharon Lindt storming in with an angry expression on her face.


    A look of shock appeared in X''s eyes when she saw her mother-inw, but she soon realized what was going on.


    She stood up hastily, smiling as she approached Sharon. As usual, she grabbed Sharon by the arm affectionately. "Mom, you must be here because of what happened on Weibo, right?" X asked softly.


    Sharon immediately hugged X.


    From the older woman''s perspective, X pretended to be strong then because she didn''t want to cause her to worry. Sharon''s heart went out to the kind-hearted younger woman.


    "X, you don''t have to pretend in front of me. You don''t need to act tough. know you are upset. You''re pregnant, and yet your husband did such a thing to you. It must hurt a lot, right?


    "It''s fine. If you want to cry, go right ahead. My shoulders are here for you to lean on. If you want to cause a scene, then do it. The entire Batton family will be rooting for you.


    "Our family won''t forgive Stanley for what he did. We''re all on your side. If you want him dead, we''ll make sure it happens," Sharon asserted as she tightened her arms around X and rubbed her back.


    "Tell me, my sweet child. What do you n to do next? You can say anything that is on your mind. You should think of me as your biological mother.” Although nothing happened and everything was a misunderstanding, X still felt deeply touched by her words.


    This time, X truly understood the true colors of Sharon and the Batton family.


    They did adore her. Sharon thought of X as her daughter, caring about her more than she did her own son.


    Otherwise, Sharon wouldn''t say such things at times like this.


    X''s eyes filled with tears.


    She was about to exin when Sharon carried on. "Stanley is a piece of sh*t, and I won''t let him get away with it. I''ve already called to yell at him, but that is not enough. I will teach him a proper lesson this time." .


    "Mom, you''ve misunderstood..." X replied but before she could finish her sentence, Sharon spoke again.


    "Darling, cry if you want to, okay? Don''t hold it in. You can do anything in front of me."
