The Return of the Cannon Fodder Trillion Heiress - Chapter 323

Chapter 323: Chapter 323 She Has A Powerful Backing
The people watching also understood Hera’s point and agreed with her. Coddling wrongdoers only encourages them to continue making mistakes. While kindness is important, misplaced kindness is not helpful in a society where many young people are overly self-assured and think their actions are always correct. They need guidance to learn how to behave properly and responsibly.

They need to learn to be responsible for their actions and not to be self-righteous when fighting for the wrong cause, as it only brings chaos into others’ lives. Instead of gaining a good reputation, Alice was labeled as someone pretending to be kind—a two-faced woman. This perception was started by viewers of the livestream who had seen Alice’s actions during the Variety Show and how she subtly tried to undermine Hera.

As the saying goes, if a man knows other men best, then a woman knows a fellow woman best. Women can often see through to the genuine concern or hidden malice in another woman’s actions. However, it still takes a discerning eye to differentiate between these kinds of people.

Unfortunately for Alice, many discerning women were watching—not just for gossip, but because they had suffered similar injustices. Some had learned to overcome the slander and suffering, while others were still struggling to get back on their feet.

Most of these women watched the live stream to see if Hera could turn the tide or be taken down by it, just like they had been. This was their way of offering silent support to a fellow woman, believing in the importance of lifting each other up rather than tearing each other down.

That’s why, when they realized what Alice was trying to do, they didn’t hesitate to inform others online, ensuring no one would be swayed by her words.

[SamathaB: Has anyone else noticed what this Alice girl is trying to do? She’s been hinting that it’s Hera’s fault for getting entangled in this mess and that her friends were just immature and made a mistake in spreading what they knew. Isn’t she just trying to deflect blame and run away after her plan to undermine Hera failed?!]

[DebbyL: @SamathaB I noticed too! Didn’t she make similar underhanded comments during the Variety Show they attended? She always pretends to be weak and bullied to make viewers see Hera as difficult, when in fact, all the villagers love Hera and see Alice as two-faced.]

[AnnaB: I have a coworker who acts like that around our male colleagues. Every time she gets a little more work than she’s used to, she starts crying and says she needs to go home early to take care of her sick grandmother. The men pity her, and her workload gets passed to me. Because of the stress, I vented about it to my girlfriends. Unfortunately for my coworker, they were at the bar at the time and saw the girl, who was supposed to be taking care of her grandmother, grinding on a man’s lap while taking shots like a wild whore. My friends even took a video and sent it to me because they didn’t want to be accused of slander. I used that video to show everyone, and some of my coworkers found out that her grandmother had long passed away and she was living alone.]

[Swifty: The moral of the story is that behind every crying woman, there can be either genuine innocence or hidden schemes. It’s up to people to uncover the truth. However, remember that a woman who no longer cries might have a heart hardened by the scheming of those who pushed her to her limits.]

[DoctorBen: Aren’t you just slandering another woman here, or is there a point you’re trying to make? Regardless, aren’t you still aiming to hurt someone with this?]

[SincerelyMe: @DoctorBen, we’re not slandering anyone or trying to bring any woman down. We support women like Hera, who has been unjustly slandered while innocent. However, we will call out anyone, woman or otherwise, who tries to ruin someone else’s life, regardless of their reasons. If someone has the ability to confront issues, they should do so without causing harm to others.]

[JusticeBeliever: I can’t decide if the women who slandered Hera are simply foolish or truly malicious. Do they really think that just because Alice’s reputation has taken a hit, it’s acceptable to go to such extremes to ruin someone else’s life? If you told me this isn’t a drama being hyped before its airing, I’d find it hard to believe.]

[Cheatue: Unfortunately, @JusticeBeliever, this isn’t a drama or just hype. Someone’s life is genuinely being ruined, while one of the perpetrators is pretending to be righteous and kind.]

[KingIsMe: Hold on! How can you be sure that Alice orchestrated this? It was her two friends who distorted the facts and spread misinformation online out of dissatisfaction. Just because she’s friends with them doesn’t mean she’s responsible for their actions. Aren’t you just slandering her as well? Punish the two who committed the wrongdoing, but don’t drag Alice into it. She might be trying to play the hero, which is understandable for her age, and being friends with them doesn’t automatically make her guilty. It could simply mean she has a good heart.]

[NorthernDuke: @KingIsMe, you make a fair point, but if Alice was truly just helping her friends, she wouldn’t have tried to distort the facts or suggest that the misinformation was accurate. Her actions of provoking the victim while pretending to be concerned and kind raise questions about her intentions. The right response would have been to apologize on behalf of her friends, not to undermine Hera and mislead viewers. If you missed it, I’d suggest watching the replay to see the full context.]

On the other side, Gerald had already pulled out his phone to check the online reaction. Noticing that the camera frequently shifted between Hera and Alice, as well as the two girls who had slandered Hera, he realized that the situation was being broadcast live. Curious about how public opinion was shaping up, he wanted to see the reaction and sentiment in real-time.

He was actively reading all the comments, finding it unnecessary to watch the live stream directly since the unfolding drama was clear from his end. Occasionally, he couldn’t help but laugh at Hera’s sarcastic remarks, cleverly disguised as a pitiful display.

He only found out that his Young Miss could be witty and knew how to pretend to be pitiful and weak to sway the masses into her side and use her enemy’s tactics against them which was actually really hilarious if watch live.

He typically abhors women who use such manipulative tactics, finding them distasteful. However, seeing his Young Miss employ these same methods invoked a sense of pity for the other party. He couldn’t help but laugh, knowing the recipient of her manipulation was in for a significant backlash.

When he heard Hera say, “Why would I succumb now that I have a better standing than before?” Gerald nearly burst into laughter at the absurdity of it. She was absolutely right—why would she give in now when she had the full support of the Avery family and six powerful men backing and pampering her? There was no reason for her to sell herself short when she was in such a strong position.
