Chapter 325: Chapter 325

Xenia Monroe was scared. She feared that Dylan Quinn would find her foolish, and she feared that Dylan would despise her past.

"Don’t cry, don’t cry, it’s okay now, he won’t come looking for you anymore!" Dylan, looking at the tear-streaked Xenia, felt a bit helpless. He had never comforted a girl crying before.

Dylan raised his hand and patted Xenia’s arm, but the girl in front of him did not calm down at all, and continued to sob incessantly.

"Be good, Sierra, don’t be afraid. I’ll be with you." Dylan’s clear eyes were filled with worry, and his heart felt increasingly heavy.

Dylan gently held Xenia in his arms, his large hand softly caressing her hair like comforting a child.

The girl in his arms was petite and frail, her back trembling slightly with each sob, clinging tightly to Dylan’s clothes out of sadness and lingering fear.

"I will protect you, it’s okay now." Dylan lowered his gaze, lightly resting his chin on Xenia’s head, his arms instinctively wrapping more tightly around her, as if trying to pass on his warmth and strength to her.

For some reason, Dylan felt a deep sense of discomfort in his heart.

He was feeling pained along with Xenia. Read full story at Nov3lFɪre.ɴet

Xenia cried for quite a while before her emotions finally calmed under Dylan’s comfort.

To help Xenia’s mood recover better, Dylan took Xenia to a bar with a pleasant atmosphere, and after eating a bit and singing a few songs, Dylan finally sent Xenia home.

However, on the way back after having dinner, a masked person followed them the entire time.

Sure enough, the next day, the internet was buzzing with headlines about Dylan dating a mysterious woman.

Because Xenia was not from the entertainment circle, people initially thought she was Dylan’s new assistant or someone from the production team.

Just when the buzz was about to die down, a comment by a user named "medical" suddenly pushed the headline back to the top.

"I know this woman. She’s not only involved with this man but also tangled with the boss of the Sinclair Group. I’ve seen her go to The Sinclair Residence and stay there for a whole night!"

"Boost me up, I have photos as proof!"

The likes and comments on this post skyrocketed to the top, with hundreds of thousands of comments asking for photos and demanding Xenia’s identity to be exposed.

Indeed, the user named "medical" was Leo Hansen.

And also, some ’enthusiastic’ netizens dug out Xenia Monroe’s name and identity.

As Leo revealed photos of Xenia entering The Sinclair Residence in a luxury car, the internet erupted!

It’s worth mentioning that Leo’s photo was skillfully taken; even though there was a certain distance from the vehicle, the face of the person in the car was clearly visible.

"Isn’t the driver Savannah Lowell? Wow, this is a mess?" Although the lighting from the driver’s seat was dim, the internet users zoomed in and found out that it was Quinn Lockwood driving.

"What’s going on here? A love square in a wealthy circle?"

"Isn’t Xenia Monroe good friends with Savannah Lowell? How disgusting, stealing her friend’s man?"

"Xenia Monroe, get lost! Stop ruining our beloved Savannah and Elias couple!"

Most online comments were attacking Xenia Monroe.

Whether it was Dylan or Elias Sinclair, in the minds of gossip-loving netizens and fans, Savannah Lowell was their fixed partner.

They simply did not care about what was really happening in this situation.

They only knew Xenia was an intruder, and even if she was a high-achieving student returned from Veldona, slipping between two men meant she was definitely a frivolous and flirtatious woman.

Many gossip lovers continued to speculate over the complicated relationships among these four.

Savannah Lowell pursuing Elias Sinclair, Dylan and Savannah being a couple, while Mr. Sinclair seemed to have a good private relationship with Savannah, and then Xenia Monroe being Savannah’s friend...

Many netizens expressed that it was too messy, with their heads spinning from all the gossip. These people’s relationships were really hard to sort out.

The elite circle is indeed chaotic!

Meanwhile, Xenia Monroe had been hiding at home these days, neglecting even her subsidiary company’s filming of short videos.

Whenever she saw the abusive comments under Dylan’s or her own X, Xenia felt incredibly distressed, almost unable to bear it.

The truth was not like that. She hadn’t interfered in other people’s lives or sabotaged anyone’s relationship, much less stolen her friend’s man.

In fact, she was the victim.

All these misunderstandings erupted because of the beastly things Leo Hansen did to her.

Why was she the one getting trashed online, while the real culprit who started it all was watching her humiliation with impunity!

Xenia clearly knew that the person who leaked the photos was Leo Hansen.

Within just one night, the situation had escalated out of control.

Even Quinn Lockwood and Elias Sinclair’s relationships were speculated to be the Lowell Group’s deliberate maneuver to establish a union with The Sinclair Family, thus fortifying their influence and status.

"This Miss Lowell certainly invites a lot of controversies." President Lynch of Morning Star Press shook his head with a sigh as he sat in his office.

After reviewing the headlines and comments triggered by Xenia Monroe related to Quinn Lockwood, President Lynch immediately posted on X, using his identity as President of Morning Star Press, to clarify the relationship between Quinn Lockwood and Elias Sinclair.

However, the public did not believe Lynch’s words regarding Quinn and Elias being solely in a superior-subordinate relationship.

If it truly was a superior-subordinate relationship, then there must also be some shady dealings involved.

Speculation even arose online that Quinn Lockwood had bribed Wade Lynch or that Lynch was coerced by the Lowell Group to speak up for her.

Meanwhile, at the company, where Quinn was shooting an ad, she felt somewhat touched seeing Wade Lynch’s clarification.

Quinn had thought Wade was joking when he said he would unconditionally help her, but it turned out he was genuinely sincere and kept his promise.

"Thank you so much, President Lynch, for your righteous assistance." Quinn quickly typed this message and sent a private message to Wade Lynch.

"Bingo!" Within two seconds, Quinn received a reply from Wade Lynch, accompanied by a smiling emoji.

Quinn looked at the message, her lips curving into a slight smile, though her expression soon turned worried.

Even though the prominent journalist Wade Lynch stood up to clarify for her, netizens did not believe a word of it.

Xenia Monroe’s emotions were on the brink of collapse.
