Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
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. "

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.

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?"
