Right then, Georgie Clementine’s call came in.
Xyla immediately answered the call. After switching to the hands-free mode, Xyla tossed her phone onto the bed. She began pulling her long hair into a ponytail as she waited for Georgie to speak.
“President Xyla, did you see all that? It’s started again…” Georgie did not sound very happy. There was a hint of irritation in her voice.
“Yeah, I’ve seen it. I’ve checked and found out that Mary Sullivan is behind all this,” Xyla said before chuckling softly with a gentle smile on her face.
“Mary Sullivan? Since you’ve found out, what would you like me to do? Should we expose this person and… Let her have a taste of cyberbullying herself?” Georgie asked.
“No, let her continue with this nonsense,” Xyla said softly before fastening her ponytail with a black hairband. She then clipped on her white bunny-ear hair clips before heading over to the bathroom with her phone.
“Do you mean you don’t want to do anything to her first, and that we should wait for a while?” Georgie asked.
“Yes… Also, tell Josh Batton not to respond at all. Regardless of what people say on the internet, do not respond,” Xyla said before placing her phone on the basin stand, squeezing some facial cleansing milk on her hand, and turning on the faucet to wash her face with her eyes closed.
Her smooth face was instantly covered in a layer of white foam. Gradually, a light flowery tea fragrance wafted into her nose. The calming scent was seemingly able to make Xyla forget about all the negative emotions in her heart.
“Are you thinking of…” Georgie said.
“Georgie, stop getting involved. Just do as I say,” Xyla said firmly.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you. Mary Sullivan won’t get away this easily,” Georgie said.
“Alright, I’m going to hang up. I’m washing my face,” Xyla said.

After washing her face, Xyla put on some light make-up before shifting her ponytail slightly higher up and forming bangs with her hair in front using a hair straightener.
On the dining table, there were neatly arranged glasses of warm milk, freshly squeezed oranges, a salad of vegetables and fruits, and soft-boiled eggs, all of which seemed appetizing.
As soon as Xyla sat down, she picked up one of the sandwiches and began to eat.
After looking at her calmly, Stanley pushed a glass of fresh orange juice closer to Xyla.
“The thing on Weibo has started again. Are you sure you don’t need my help?” He asked.
Xyla put her sandwich down before taking a sip of the orange juice and shook her head.
“Don’t worry. I have everything planned,” she said.
Stanley looked hard at her. Without saying anything, he picked up a knife and began silently digging into a soft-boiled egg in front of him.
