Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2379

For the rest of the day, X Entertainment was silent on all fronts.

Following Xyla Quest's lead, Lukas Ronaldo also refrained from voicing out despite his curiosity over the wait. He opted not to bother her or pay too much attention to the news.

Meanwhile, netizens were still attacking Lukas online, labeling him as a negative influencer.

The topic that initially claimed he was a gangster occupied the number one spot on Weibo’s list of hot topics. It was even featured in countless entertainment blurbs across other major online platforms.

His name was now renowned even to people outside the entertainment industry. Those who usually ignored entertainment gossip also discovered his identity soon after.

Some netizens refused to comment because they didn’t know the entire truth of the matter, but most of them had chosen to side with the haters to oppose Lukas.

The whole incident was getting out of hand.

X Entertainment and Lukas’ continued silence convinced everyone that the rumors were true. As long as the company held back on issuing a media statement to either confirm or dispel those rumors, the more popular it became.

More and more people were shaming the new artiste for being a terrible influence.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed since the picture first surfaced on Weibo.

X Entertainment still hadn’t given any response. Neither did Lukas.

Various competing companies that considered Lukas their latest competition were beginning to feel proud of themselves for eliminating him from the industry.

Everyone assumed that X Entertainment and himself had admitted to the rumors. They even believed X Entertainment had dropped him as their latest upcoming talent, who was supposed to take the world by storm.

Suddenly, everyone was celebrating.

That afternoon, the person who originally posted the incriminating photo of a young Lukas smoking suddenly published a post on Weibo.

Suddenly, statements of apologies started pouring into X Entertainment’s official page.

The Weibo post was only published a second ago, but there were already over a million comments—

“As someone who never pays attention to the entertainment gossip, I’d like to apologize to Lukas. I was too rash. Sorry, Lukas.”

“I feel sad for Lukas. He went through so much. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have stopped being a fan. I’m sorry, I was wrong.”

“Thank you, X Entertainment, for protecting Lukas. Thank you!”

“I only found out about Lukas after everyone started crucifying him on the internet. Later, I checked out his videos and instantly fell in love. I could tell he wasn't the kind of person he had been accused of through some of his interview clips. I’ve been waiting for the truth to come out. I can’t believe it just did.”

“I also found out about Lukas because of all the hate. I was attracted to his good looks in an instant. I'll admit to being a hater before I saw his face. But after seeing him, I found it hard to believe all the hate he was getting. I suspected he might be innocent.”
