The Return of the Cannon Fodder Trillion Heiress - Chapter 320

Chapter 320: Chapter 320 Time to Clear My Name 4
[HeraIsMySister: @AuntieNextDoor I was wondering the same thing. Usually, our club president would already be causing havoc on the internet to help sister Hera clear her name, biting anyone who causes trouble and sending his lawyer’s letters left and right. But he’s unusually quiet.]

[Dummy123: Maybe they didn’t want to get entangled with a promiscuous woman like Hera, so they all hid as far away as possible. Or maybe they finally woke up and got tired of playing with a woman from the entertainment industry. Don’t many young masters from prominent families like playing around with celebrities just for bragging rights?]

[HeraIsMySister: @Dummy123, it seems like you haven’t learned your lesson from earlier.]

[GoldenLight: Sorry for being late to the party. As much as I wanted to clear up the issue myself so Hera wouldn’t have to worry about these unnecessary slanders, unfortunately, she banned us from stepping in. She said it would only give more ammunition to the jealous and those with dark hearts. ( ᵌ ⍨ ᵌ )]

[Dave_Carson: @Dummy123 Hey! Even if @NorthernDuke doesn’t teach you a lesson, I will. I haven’t had my sleep yet and I’m really irritated from not seeing my sweetheart all day. So don’t provoke me! p(｀ε ´q)]

[NorthernDuke: @GoldenLight, @Dave_Carson, @EntertainmentKing, @FatherOfCaduceus, and @SilverEmperor, it’s all your fault that I’m stuck in the office and can’t help my wife clear her name! I should be beside her now, being her strength when she needs it most! But no, you five ganged up on me like the cowards you are! So hateful!]

[NorthernDuke: @Hera_A Wifey!!! Please pass judgment on these male vixens! They’re bullying me!]

[GoldenLight: …]

[Dave_Carson: …]

[EntertainmentKing: …]

[EntertainmentKing: I haven’t even said anything about my troubles, and the wolf is already crying wolf! Hmph! Pathetic!]

[FatherOfCaduceus: I believe Hera is fair and won’t listen to the lies you’re spreading…]

[SilverEmperor: @NorthernDuke Stop dragging me into this. I haven’t even returned from overseas yet, but thanks for the reminder. Your day will come.]

[NorthernDuke: @GoldenLight, @Dave_Carson, @EntertainmentKing, @FatherOfCaduceus, and @SilverEmperor, you think I wouldn’t know that it was all you guys who’ve been sending me troubles? This meager fight will not make me falter!]

[Dave_Carson: @NorthernDuke meager? If I didn’t know better, I would believe you really are not having a hard time mitigating all the damages the Hendrix had suffered making you so busy that your ass was already married to your office chair. ψ(｀∇ ´ )ψ]

[NorthernDuke: @Dave_Carson So you’re admitting that you and your friends have been ganging up on me? Just a mere manager?! Hmph! Cowards! Using your influence and power to bully the weak. @Hera_A, wifey, see these wolves in sheep’s clothing! Don’t let them near you; they’re black-hearted!]

[FatherOfCaduceus: @NorthernDuke, you’re the first one to make a move against us! Do you really think we don’t see through your plan to target us just to get more time with Hera? You’re being incredibly petty!]

[GoldenLight: It makes me wonder if you’re really just a manager, @NorthernDuke. For all we know, you might be the vice president or even a hidden heir to the Hendrix Empire, considering the level of trouble you’ve been causing us. ╮( ꒪౪꒪)╭]

[EntertainmentKing: I only retaliated in kind. Besides, I’m a changed man now and will do my best to protect Hera and what’s important to me. You guys can fight all you want, but leave me out of it!]

[Dave_Carson: @NorthernDuke ԅ(≖ڡ≖ԅ)]

[Dave_Carson: ( ˊ▽ˋ)╦̵̵̿╤── @EntertainmentKing, are you trying to climb out of the bottom rankings and play the good guy now?]

[Dave_Carson: @EntertainmentKing, unfortunately, it’s your sister who’s been causing my sweetheart so much trouble… ♪～(￣,￣ )]

[EntertainmentKing: …]

[GoldenLight: @NorthernDuke, @Dave_Carson, @EntertainmentKing, @FatherOfCaduceus, @SilverEmperor, let’s put our differences aside. We’re all in a tough spot right now, and our bickering is preventing us from providing the support Hera needs during this critical time.]

[NorthernDuke: @GoldenLight, @Dave_Carson, @EntertainmentKing, @FatherOfCaduceus, and @SilverEmperor, haven’t I shown remarkable restraint by not tearing you apart for trying to seduce my wife? And now, a little bit of my wrath has unsettled you? Pathetic! You’re all weaklings!]

Leo’s assistant glanced sharply at him from where he stood, observing Leo’s cold and indifferent expression as he typed rapidly on his keyboard. If he hadn’t known better, he might have thought Leo was working tirelessly and with intense focus on his computer. In reality, Leo was busy sharing his thoughts online, aggressively targeting his love rivals.

He couldn’t have imagined Leo saying anything like that, but reality had proven him wrong—Leo was nearly unleashing a digital nuke on the internet.

[GoldenLight: …]

[Dave_Carson: …]

[EntertainmentKing: …]

[FatherOfCaduceus: …]

[SilverEmperor: …]

[SilverEmperor: @NorthernDuke, does Hera know about this side of you?]

[NorthernDuke: …]

[SilverEmperor: @NorthernDuke, I thought so… (¬‿¬)]

[HeraIsMySister: @NorthernDuke, is it true that you were drugged at the hotel and ended up in the hospital with Hera? How did that happen?]

[NorthernDuke: @HeraIsMySister, yes, it’s true. We were fortunate that the hotel staff acted quickly and got us to the hospital. @Dave_Carson was there with us as well…]

[PasserbyGod: @NorthernDuke, so was it true that you and Hera weren’t the initial targets of the drugging incident?]

[NorthernDuke: @PasserbyGod, you’ve done well to uncover that.]

…

[Six Musketeers Group Chat]

[Dave: Our job’s done just like that?!]

[Zhane: Since we’ve agreed to a truce, let’s ensure that no one resorts to dirty tactics from here on out.]

[Leo: You guys are the ones playing dirty!]

[Luke: Even at this point you are pretending you didn’t know anything?]

[Xavier: What I said earlier was true, I will really get back at you @NorthernDuke]

[Dave: I’m sure that everything you said online was your true thoughts and you even tried to discredit us in front of my sweetheart. Hmph!]

[Leo: You all can think whatever you like, it’s not as if I was the one who wrote the script for this. But will this really work?]

[Rafael: It will. What the public needs is not the whole truth. We should present ourselves as close, slightly eccentric friends who’ve known each other for years. By doing so, we’ll validate everything Hera has said about us, showing that we’re all genuinely interested in her and are engaged in a friendly competition. This way, the public will see it as a group of friends vying for the same woman without hard feelings if some lose out. At the same time, we should let the public’s imagination take over and guide their speculations subtly, without revealing everything or forcing a particular narrative.]

[Rafael: With this tactic, it will give us ten times the desired outcome.]

[Rafael: No matter how much we clarify, if some netizens spread their own speculations and gain more traction, our truth could still be dismissed as fabricated.]

[Leo: So, we’re aiming to sway public opinion by appealing to the masses and shaping their beliefs through this approach?]

[Rafael: We’ve already confirmed all the evidence released by Hera’s agency and addressed the drugging incident. I don’t think we need to respond to anything about Alexi—ignoring him just shows we don’t view him as a real competition. So, what’s the issue?]

[Xavier: What about the person who started all this online chaos? Shouldn’t we investigate them too? And regarding the Lennons—do you think our combined efforts might be enough to deal with them?]

[Leo: I’ve tried to investigate the source of this slander, but the person behind it is meticulous and left no trace. As for the Lennons, they’re a tricky bunch. We need to tread carefully and stay flexible because rushing in could lead to us being blindsided.]

[Luke: I also did some digging but came to the same conclusion about the online slander—no clear leads.]
