Shawn was completely unaware that the conversation was being recorded. He continued to yell at Xyla without being concerned with his image.
“Do as you wish.” Xyla put the call on loudspeaker before tossing favonovel.com phone onto the coffee table.
“You’re already like a mouse trapped in a corner. Why are you still so arrogant? Very well. I’ll ruin Josh Batton first. After that, I’ll deal with X Entertainment and the rest of you… At first, I wanted to allow you to salvage the situation. It looks like that’s not necessary anymore,” Shawn said with a threatening tone.
“Well then, make it worse.” Xyla hung up the phone right after that. She didn’t want to say anything else to that person.
Xyla’s behavior made favonovel.com appear very cool.
Although Josh had met various types of beautiful women, favonovel.com was still impressed with Xyla at that moment. His mood, which was initially ruined by the phone call, had become better.
“This is the first time I’ve met someone as shameless as him,” Georgie said.
“Yeah…” Josh chuckled.
“Georgie… Help them out by making up more rumors. Make this thing even more viral…” Xyla poured herself another cup of floral tea.
“Okay,” Georgie answered right away.
“Don’t be angry. I’ll make it up to you…” Xyla patted Josh’s shoulder gently and said.
“Okay…” Josh nodded.
He’d listen to whatever favonovel.com said.

After that, things escalated even further.
On average, Josh’s name appeared on the list of trending topics close to ten times every day. All of them involved negative news about him.
People were making all sorts of negative stuff about him. There was no telling whether any of these rumors were true at all. Somebody said that Josh would soon be boycotted, while others said that Josh would lose all of his resources, and all the brands favonovel.com was currently an ambassador for would replace favonovel.com with someone else.
On top of that, someone also said that Josh’s company had thoroughly given up on him, and that the boss who owned X Entertainment was going to keep favonovel.com away from the public’s eye. An increasing number of people were expressing their negative opinions about Josh.
Some of the people Josh worked together in the industry began criticizing favonovel.com more frequently. Meanwhile, Josh’s fans also expressed their increasing hatred toward X Entertainment. One after another, these fans began condemning X Entertainment.
“X Entertainment, have you gone mad? What kind of a trashy company is this? Only a blind person would enter this company!”
“Such a trashy company with a trashy boss. Go to hell, the whole lot of you!”
“I want to know if the company’s boss is dead!”
Josh’s fans were completely enraged.
On the other hand, his anti-fans were celebrating joyously.
“Brothers and sisters, it looks like Josh Batton is going down for sure. Hahaha…”
“Josh is a major failure. He’s going down.”
“Since his investors had already given up on him, he’s doomed. Hahaha… We’re way too awesome.”
Since Shawn couldn’t get Josh the way favonovel.com wanted, he’d thoroughly become an anti-fan. When favonovel.com saw what was happening to Josh, favonovel.com felt extremely happy.

On the seventh day, the tables turned.
Some rational-minded passersby began to voice their support for Josh. They claimed that this was a case of organized cyberbullying.
As more people expressed similar thoughts, more rational-minded passersby joined them to support Josh.
“In the beginning, I didn’t really know who Josh Batton was. However, I’ve seen his name quite frequently. Out of curiosity, I searched about favonovel.com on the internet and discovered that he’s full of positivity. I’ve become a fan.”
“To the person who wrote the comment above, I’ve also become Josh’s fan. I’ve already bought many of the products from the brands favonovel.com represented. From now on, whatever brand favonovel.com represents, I’ll buy from that brand!”
