The Return of the Cannon Fodder Trillion Heiress - Chapter 436

Chapter 436: Chapter 436 Believe In Yourself
Hera also considered this possibility and hoped to attract the director’s attention by showcasing her fighting and driving skills.

However, she had never thought of using the Grand Prix as a platform to demonstrate those talents.

Especially considering she already had numerous commitments and endorsements with various companies, including apparel and makeup brands.

But her thoughts were interrupted once again by Betty. “If you’re concerned about collaborations and endorsements, don’t worry. As your manager, it’s my responsibility to handle those matters and ensure you have a smoother career while pursuing what you want.”

“After all, if you race for our country’s honor and win a few races, those companies and their endorsement offers are likely to increase their signing fees, as your market value would rise significantly.”

“Many companies would rush to sign contracts with you as their ambassador for commercial shoots, which means we wouldn’t need to stress about securing the roles you’re interested in; you could simply sit back and wait.”

Betty even chuckled at the end of her speech, prompting everyone who heard her explanation to nod in agreement.

Especially after witnessing Hera drive, their adrenaline surged, and they believed that anyone watching her would feel the same excitement.

And if what Betty said about the director filming a zombie apocalypse movie this year is true, it would give Hera an even greater advantage.

Everything Betty pointed out aligns perfectly with what the director would want for his female lead.

Someone who can not only act effectively and embody the essence of her character but also fight and drive without needing a stunt double.

This would provide the director with greater flexibility to film his movie exactly as he envisions it, without any limitations.

As the young masters overheard Hera and Betty’s conversation, they were astonished to learn that Hera was actually an actress.

The revelation sent ripples of surprise through the group, and they turned to Dave with questioning gazes.

None of them had ever imagined that he would consider bringing home a celebrity as his girlfriend—much less as a romantic partner.

They all knew that Dave had a knack for dodging blind dates, often retreating to the race circuit to escape his mother’s relentless matchmaking efforts.

But now that they realized Hera was a celebrity, their feelings were a mix of excitement and skepticism.

However, they quickly recalled that she was also known as Phantom, a name that carried its own allure and intrigue.

‘So what if she’s a celebrity?’ the young masters thought, a grin spreading across their faces.

‘We’ll just watch her work and support her.’ With newfound determination, they all turned their gazes to Hera, eagerly awaiting her next words, curious to see how this unexpected twist would unfold.

“Then what about my school?” Hera asked Betty, her brow furrowing with concern.

If she were to represent her country in the international Grand Prix, she would need to be away for at least two weeks, traveling to five different countries to compete.

While participating in the national Grand Prix wouldn’t pose much of a problem—since Hera had no intention of committing to daily training and was only planning to take a single day of leave for the actual race—she worried about the impact of her absence on her education.

She hoped her grades and attendance wouldn’t suffer as a result of these new obligations.

Betty sensed Hera’s anxiety and quickly reassured her. “You’re a top student, and your school will understand the significance of this opportunity. With your academic performance, I’m sure we can work out a plan to keep you up with your studies while you compete.”

“Plus, this experience could enhance your profile for future opportunities!”

Hera nodded, her worries easing slightly. The thought of representing her country and racing on an international stage was not so exhilarating, and she didn’t want her education to be held back.

“I’ve already thought it through,” Betty replied confidently. “I’ll just need to apply for a long-term leave of absence from your school. I’m certain they won’t make a fuss about it, especially since this is for the country’s honor.”

Hera raised an eyebrow, skepticism creeping into her voice. “Well, that only works if I’m not a dean’s lister and not one of the top students. I have a feeling the dean would give you a hard time about it, given that he prioritizes grades and the student’s education.”

Betty smiled, unfazed by Hera’s concerns. “I understand your worries, but I’m confident we can make it work. Your achievements will speak for themselves, and I’ll make sure the dean knows how important this opportunity is for you. Besides, how often does a student get to represent their country on an international stage?”

Hera couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension. While she appreciated Betty’s optimism, she was also aware of the challenges ahead. “Just remember, I don’t want to jeopardize my academic standing. I’ve worked hard to get where I am, and I don’t want to let that slip away.”

“Trust me, Hera,” Betty said, her tone reassuring. “We’ll navigate this together. This is a chance for you to shine, and I won’t let anything stand in your way.”

“Well, you can leave the negotiations to me; that’s my area of expertise,” Betty said confidently.

“All you need to focus on is staying in top condition. Besides, the race team’s manager already mentioned that you don’t plan to train daily and are only aiming to race on the event day.”

“Wouldn’t that still give you some time to study while you’re not training?” A sly smile danced across Betty’s lips, and Hera could almost visualize it, feeling the mischief radiating from her manager.

Hera felt a lump form in her throat at Betty’s confident words, rendering her momentarily speechless. She struggled to formulate a retort, knowing Betty had a point but hating to admit it.

The thought of balancing her career in the entertainment industry, racing with her studies felt overwhelming, yet part of her was tempted by the thrill of the opportunity.

Instead of responding right away, she glanced away, trying to process her mixed feelings. “I—” she started, but the words caught in her throat. How could she argue with someone so resolute?

Betty’s unwavering voice encouraged Hera to confront her own doubts. Finally, with a deep breath, Hera managed to say, “It’s not that simple, though. I don’t want to compromise my education.”

“Of course not,” Betty replied, her expression softening. “But you also deserve this chance. Let’s find a way to make it work.”

After a moment of reflection, Hera couldn’t deny the truth in Betty’s words.

Though balancing her studies, rising celebrity status, and racing would be gruelingly challenging, it was an opportunity she couldn’t easily dismiss.

The path ahead would demand intense focus and sacrifice, but once the racing competition was over, she could return to her studies and her career as an artist with renewed momentum.

By then, she would likely be even more popular, with countless new opportunities at her fingertips.

The thought of emerging from this experience stronger, more recognized, and with a wider range of prospects began to outweigh her doubts. It wouldn’t be easy, but it was clear that the rewards could be transformative.
