The Return of the Cannon Fodder Trillion Heiress - Chapter 462

Chapter 462: Chapter 462 Dealing With The Water Army
Both of them took it upon themselves to do their work and Betty informed the PR team, ensuring they were aware of the situation.

They worked together to strategize and counteract the malicious intent of those trying to undermine Hera’s success, determined to prevent these negative forces from succeeding in their plan.

If Hera were aware of this situation, she would likely laugh it off, recognizing that negative publicity also serves as publicity that can propel her name into the spotlight even faster than any of her achievements.

People are naturally drawn to drama, and their curiosity would only amplify her visibility.

Besides, there’s a kernel of truth to their claims; she did secure the contract from Rafael after some intimate moments, so it’s not entirely baseless for others to make that assumption.

Hera would find the unfolding drama fascinating, and when the scandal reached its peak, she would simply turn the tables on her critics, showcasing her true talents and proving that she was more than just a pretty face.

Athena understood that Hera would adopt this mindset, so she took it upon herself to combat the negativity.

Having served as the chief designer for a major company in her past life, she was no stranger to handling controversies and had accumulated valuable operational management experience along the way.

Athena understood that while Hera had the talent to turn the situation around, excessive negative publicity could still pose a risk to her reputation and career.

However, Athena was confident that Hera had the skills to truly turn the tide.

She recognized Hera’s many gifts and knew how effortlessly she could win hearts with her charm and actions.

Still, Athena didn’t want to leave anything to chance, especially when their opponent was none other than the original female lead of the novel they both inhabited and the storyline backing Alice.

Athena dove into the comment sections, fiercely battling the trolls and the hired water army targeting Hera.

But she wasn’t just waging a random fight; she was strategically stirring the pot.

By subtly implying that someone was orchestrating these attacks to undermine Hera because she was overshadowing another, Athena set off a wave of speculation.

Without needing to spell it out, she knew her audience loved concocting their own theories, and they quickly began to connect the dots.

But Athena didn’t stop there. She pulled out the footage of Hera’s high school theater performances from their drama club, which she had painstakingly recorded and treasured like a prized possession.

Her intention was to someday gift it to Hera’s future children, allowing them to witness their mother’s incredible talent.

Inspired by the hope that Hera would overcome her current tribulations and thrive in the future, Athena saw this as a meaningful keepsake to celebrate Hera’s journey.

Having treated Hera like a sister, Athena genuinely wanted the best for her.

This footage served as a cherished treasure, meant either to commemorate Hera’s legacy if tragedy struck, as it did in the novel, or to be enjoyed by Hera’s future children as they grew up.

Regardless of the outcome, the footage was relatively recent, showcasing Hera’s remarkable talent and the impeccable acting skills that had garnered her multiple standing ovations from audiences in all her performances.

Hera’s presence had remained strikingly consistent, making the recordings a testament to her great acting and performance.

Athena created several alternate burner accounts to post all the videos across various platforms from different events.

She believed that if the public had a discerning eye and a sound mind, some bloggers or gossip accounts would piece everything together and react to Hera’s high school performances.

This would be the perfect opportunity for them to ride the wave of Hera’s popularity.

If they spoke positively about her, Hera’s fans would likely rally behind them, enhancing their image as good Samaritans who stepped in to help clear Hera’s name while others tried to drag her through the mud.

Seeing this, Betty didn’t bother investigating who was trying to help Hera; instead, she focused on boosting all the released footage to showcase Hera’s talent.

By highlighting how exceptional an actress Hera had been even before joining the entertainment industry, she aimed to bolster Hera’s publicity and silence the critics questioning her abilities.

This strategy would also help dispel the narrative that Hera was merely leveraging Xavier to climb the ranks through favors and her body.

Once the footage was boosted, many viewers recognized Hera from her past and those who had attended school with her began to speak up in her defense.

Although they remembered her as a poor orphan, many admired her for her amiable and sweet nature, even if she could be intimidating when necessary.

Some users began posting videos of Hera horseback riding and winning races, which jogged the memories of netizens who recalled her triumph at the national horse championship.

Additionally, one of Hera’s servants living in Avery Manor, who had recently helped move Hera’s belongings to her penthouse, shared a clip of Hera’s piano performance.

This footage, captured on her phone, had become a staple in the servant’s nighttime routine, serving as a soothing melody before sleep.

The Water Army’s attempts to sabotage Hera had spectacularly backfired.

Leo, who was watching Hera’s promotional video and her press conference with Xavier from his office, caught wind of the online drama through Terry.

Furious at the injustice, Leo was determined to teach them a lesson they wouldn’t soon forget.

“It appears my earlier warning to these Water Army and trolls fell on deaf ears,” Leo remarked, his expression dark and foreboding.

An unsettling chill enveloped the room, intensifying the oppressive atmosphere around him.

“Please, Young Master, tell me how to proceed,” Terry said, bowing deeply, his shoulders trembling slightly. “It’s my fault for not managing the situation more effectively. Please, punish me.”

“No need for that,” Leo replied, his voice low and commanding.

“Just have our IT department track down these vermin and ensure their operations are shut down. Once that’s done, publicize it. This will serve as a warning to other water armies about who they can and cannot mess with.”

“Consider it done, Young Master.” Terry nodded respectfully before excusing himself from the room, quietly closing the door behind him as he left.

As soon as Terry left, Leo quickly logged into his account, the familiar golden badge shining brightly as it appeared before everyone on the internet.

The moment they saw it, the chatter in the chatroom paused, and then excitement surged as everyone eagerly joined in, ready to engage with him.

[NorthernDuke: It appears that society is descending into lawlessness, where slandering others has become the norm.]

[NorthernDuke: Tell me, does money truly erase your conscience? How much is your employer paying you to defame my wife? Ha! Do you think it’s worth risking 4 months to 3 years in jail?]
