In the above configuration file, I found that Site B pointing to Master Database with the help of role based configuration patch file:

Due to this rule-based configuration setting, Sitecore website Current Context was pointing to the Master Database instead of Web database. After removing this rule based configuration, Sitecore website current context start pointing to Web database when request coming from the published website.

This rule based configuration coming up with Habitat demo solution for Habitat Website and needs to be deployed on Development machine only and do not need to be pushed to the higher environments.
