Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 399

"On the other hand, Jay Corben and Morty Wayne were totally different, alright? Didn't you notice? Jay Corben treated everyone else coldly, he didn't even care much about the others but he would play pranks on Morty and make him laugh frequently... That's what you call a couple, alright? The 'Morty and Jay' couple is real." Catherine Batton got more excited as she spoke and her face was getting even more delighted.

"Yours is fake and mine is real." The girl insisted.

Catherine persisted as well. "Yours is fake and only mine is real. The couple that I supported must be true."

Due to Catherine's aura, the girl did not continue to refute. She turned around quietly and continued to Photoshop the photo.

Catherine did not care about her anymore as well, she turned around straightaway and went to get water for herself. She mumbled while she was walking, "Hmph, the couple that I like is the real one, 'Morty and Jay' are real, they're real!"

Throughout the whole afternoon, Xyla Quest could not focus at all when she was working.

Whenever she looked at the documents, the scene where Five Batton was sitting in front of her while speaking gently to a girl would automatically appear in front of her eyes.

The girl must be his girlfriend. This matter was a solid fact.

If that was the case, she should keep herself away from him and end her feelings before it was too late.

She picked up her phone and opened his feed before taking a quick look.

It would take months for him to post something on his feed. Nothing special had happened recently therefore it was empty.

She stared at the blank screen for a while, only then she put her focus back onto her work.

In the evening, Georgie Clementine gave her a call.

She had just finished her work and she was exhausted.

Casually, she stretched her body. She then walked to the French windows with the phone in her hand and answered the call.

The sun was setting and its golden radiance showered the land. The huge city was bathed in gold.

The rays of the setting sun landed on her face, making her features look extra gentle.

She was standing at high altitudes. By standing there, she felt that the whole world was beneath her and she could have a clear look of the breathtaking views of the city at a glance. "Georgie... Anything?" Xyla looked serious.

"There's something that I would like to discuss with you, it's very important." Georgie sounded very serious on the other side of the phone.

"Hmm, you may proceed..." Xyla gently pinched the part between her eyebrows and waited for Georgie to talk.

"Things are like this, ever since Teenage Idol broadcasted, the way Jay Corben treated Morty Wayne was totally different from the way he treated others. Also, they looked so comfortable together, therefore a lot of the audience had started to ship them together..." Georgie said.

"And then?" Xyla asked.

"I thought of another way to increase their popularity. I'm planning to let them both go popular by selling homosexuality. Ever since people started to ship them together, their popularity had skyrocketed. Initially, they were only the top five in the participants' leaderboards, now Morty Wayne takes the first place while Jay Corben takes the second."

"They don't need to do anything on purpose. They only need to do something sweet once in a while unintentionally... Nowadays, the audience are big thinkers, they could come up with hundreds of assumptions even if they only did one single thing," Georgie said one word at a time with a serious tone.

Xyla analysed Georgie's words seriously. In the end, she made her stand and supported her decision. "Alright."

In order to stay competitive in the entertainment circle while being surrounded by an overwhelming bunch of cute guys, they certainly needed a special solution to attract the audience's attention. As for Georgie's idea, it was undoubtedly the best solution.
