The Return of the Cannon Fodder Trillion Heiress - Chapter 351

Chapter 351: Chapter 351 The Help Ones Need
Even the watch she wore previously—the Graff Hallucination, valued at $55 million—was brought up, along with the Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce Rainbow Minute Haute Joaillerie she had on earlier, worth $2.5 million. As she read through the discussion, even she couldn’t help but become intrigued. The netizens didn’t miss a thing; they also listed all the cars Hera had been photographed driving.

Even her entire outfit, from head to toe, wasn’t spared from scrutiny. Now, she was being labeled as a billionaire trust fund baby. The gossip about her evolved daily, and Betty was laughing hysterically in her office chair. They didn’t need to create any clout to gain popularity—Hera herself was the walking clout they needed.

Soon, numerous collaboration requests flooded their agency—advertisements, dramas, short films, ambassadorships, and even partnerships with celebrities ranging from B-listers to A-listers. Hera’s fame had skyrocketed, putting her on par with some of the top-tier celebrities.

Since Hera hadn’t made any specific requests, Betty focused on the projects Hera had personally selected. With the shoot starting soon, she put the other requests on hold and chose the most significant and strategically beneficial ones that would best advance Hera’s career.

After reviewing the developments and confirming that everything was progressing as planned—especially with Alexi now ousted from the entertainment industry—she sighed in relief. His downfall barely registered with the public, and life continued as if nothing had happened.

This was the reality of life—no matter what happens to someone, the majority will move on, and their lives won’t stop for anyone. Alexi’s exit from the entertainment industry caused only a small ripple, with only his most fanatical fans staying by his side to defend and adore him while targeting Hera. But their reckless actions would eventually cease, as they had chosen the wrong person to target.

If Hera were just an ordinary young girl without a strong family background, she might be frightened and hiding right now, trying to avoid being dragged into the mess. But she was different—well-protected and savvy enough to leverage her family’s influence. The threats from Alexi’s fans only fueled her determination to take them down one by one and teach them a lesson. It seemed they were reckless enough to try harming a woman like her, but they had severely underestimated her.

After collecting the evidence her bodyguards had gathered and catching the perpetrators red-handed, Hera handed everything over to the police for prosecution. The Avery Family’s law firm, which handles all their legal affairs, employed a globally renowned lawyer they had recruited. Hera enlisted this same lawyer to prosecute these lawless individuals who harmed others without a second thought.

True to their reputation as the top law firm, they exceeded Hera’s expectations. They meticulously compiled all the charges against each individual who had attempted to harm Hera, securing hefty compensation and ensuring that each offender faced a minimum of three years in jail.

They made sure to pursue the harshest punishments possible, regardless of how minor the offenses were. This way, Hera could ensure that these lawless individuals would learn their lesson and think twice before acting. Only through severe consequences would they realize they aren’t untouchable, and that their actions couldn’t simply be brushed under the rug with a mere apology.

Hera didn’t feel bad for them, nor did she feel guilty. In fact, she believed she was doing the community a service by clearing the streets of these pests. It might sound harsh, but their actions warranted it, and this wasn’t their first offense. Initially, Hera might have felt some sympathy, but after learning that these fanatical fans had harmed others before without enough evidence to convict them, she decided to act on behalf of the victims who had truly suffered.

Since those victims had been left miserable—either disfigured or disabled—Hera extended a helping hand by placing them in one of the Avery Charities. This organization provided support and employment to disabled individuals struggling with severe depression, which many of the victims were currently experiencing.

Now, Hera was reading through the messages she received from the victims. They had specifically asked the person handling the case for the name and contact information of the person who had helped them. The person in charge hesitated and reached out to Hera for confirmation, to which she gladly agreed.

Right now, more than 20 women had messaged her. Their words were simple, just a heartfelt ‘Thank You,’ but Hera knew those words were filled with deep emotion. They had been in their most vulnerable states, and now, they had been given hope.

Hera wasn’t expecting grand gestures of gratitude or promises of undying loyalty. A simple ‘thank you’ was enough to make her smile because she knew it meant that one more person had found hope after their despair—a hope she herself would cherish if she were ever in their position.

Having dealt with Alexi, his fanatical fans, and the victims, Hera felt a sense of calm as she lay in bed. Surrounded by serene darkness and the soothing scent of lavender candles, her tired body and mind finally began to relax as she drifted into a peaceful sleep.

The next morning, Hera woke up to a flood of notifications on her phone, reflecting the latest developments online. The women who had contacted her the previous night hadn’t reached out again, fearing they might be a disturbance. They believed she was too busy to respond, so they chose not to burden her further. However, they had vowed to excel in their work, and indeed, they would become elite in their respective fields, contributing significantly to the strength and stability of the Avery Consortium in the future. For now, though, Hera groggily stared at her phone, still half-asleep.

[Leo: Good morning, wifey!!! (˘ε˘˶). I’m sorry I’ve been so busy lately and haven’t been able to see you. Please be patient with me—I miss you a lot! (ˆڡˆ)♡]

Hera giggled after reading Leo’s message, thinking he was trying to cheer her up amidst the online buzz surrounding her. She figured he might have sensed her frustration and wanted to lift her spirits, which he successfully did. If only Leo knew what Hera was thinking, he might be torn between laughing and crying, unsure how to react.

There were similar messages from the male leads, which Hera took the time to read.

[Luke: Good morning! I’ll be busy with an overseas meeting early today. I’ve sent over breakfast, and Amy will serve it for you. Don’t forget to eat and take care of yourself! (´◡`๑)]

[Dave: Good morning, sweetheart! I miss you so much! If you have some free time, let’s hang out—I’d love to show you around some fun places!]

[Zhane: Good morning, Hera! I heard from Bry that you had a great dinner last night. If you’re up for it, how about some horseback riding at the Avery Racecourse? It would be a nice way to unwind. Just let me know when you’re free, and I’ll be happy to join you.]

[Xavier: Good morning, Hera. How are you doing? I hope you’re not letting the online chatter get to you. There are always people like that, but don’t worry—I’m here to help clear your name and protect you from this kind of trouble. Wait for me to come home, and let this big brother treat you to something nice.]

[Rafael: Good morning, Hera! I hope you’re not too upset by the online commotion. I’ve already handled Alexi—he’s facing a substantial penalty for breaching our contract and has been blacklisted from the industry. If he causes any more trouble, just let me know, and I’ll take care of it. Let’s have a meal together when you have time; I miss you already.]
