The Return of the Cannon Fodder Trillion Heiress - Chapter 476

Chapter 476: Chapter 476 Xavier’s Insecurity 2
As he watched her blissful smile spread across her face, a warmth bloomed in his chest.

Xavier couldn’t help but smile along with her, feeling a connection that transcended the complexities of their situation.

In that peaceful moment, all his worries faded away, replaced by the simple joy of being there for her.

As the youngest member of his group, Xavier often found himself treated like the baby of the bunch.

Despite his successful career, he suddenly felt a wave of insecurity and jealousy wash over him when he compared himself to his friends.

It was a new and uncomfortable realization for him.

Unlike Dave, who rushed headlong into taking action to get Hera’s attention, Xavier was more cautious, and hesitant to act impulsively.

He recognized that his feelings for Hera were complicated, especially since she had cared for him during the recent variety show they both participated in.

Unlike his other friends, who didn’t have that nurturing dynamic with her, he felt a unique connection.

Initially, his attraction to her might have felt like mere infatuation, but now he was sure of his feelings—he genuinely liked her.

That was precisely why he wanted to take things slow and easy with Hera.

Yet, he was painfully aware that his friends wouldn’t simply wait around while he sorted through his emotions.

Earlier, he had been battling with these conflicting feelings, but the sight of Hera sleeping peacefully in front of him made him smile and helped ease his overthinking.

Just watching her brought a sense of calm, and he realized that he, too, was starting to feel drowsy.

Xavier settled onto the ground, the plush carpet softening the hardness and coldness against the cool tiled floor beneath him.

He continued to gently massage Hera’s head with his right hand, while his chin rested thoughtfully on his left palm as he watched her sleep on the couch.

The serenity of the moment enveloped him, the rhythmic rise and fall of her breath calming his own racing thoughts.

Without even realizing it, exhaustion crept over him, and he gradually slipped into a peaceful slumber, the warmth of the room and the comfort of his surroundings lulling him into a dreamlike state.

When the staff entered to fetch Hera and Xavier for the celebratory feast honoring the success of the product launch with the CEO and his daughter, they were met with this scene that instantly silenced them.

The sight of Hera and Xavier peacefully asleep on the floor and couch, lost in their dreams, tugged at their hearts.

It was clear that neither of them would want to be disturbed; they appeared so serene and content, as if they were sharing a beautiful dream together.

One of the staff members couldn’t resist the moment and quietly snapped a picture of the pair, capturing the scene as if they were posing for a photo shoot, even in their slumber.

The warmth of the moment brought a smile to the staff’s faces, knowing they were witnessing a genuine connection between the two.

No one stopped her from taking the picture; in fact, they were all eager to get a copy for themselves.

However, before they could ask, the staff member had already shared the photo in their group chat.

And it turned out that one of the staff had recently become a devoted HAVIER fan, passionately shipping Hera and Xavier.

Seizing the opportunity, she quickly saved the picture to her phone and shared it with the HAVIER fan club.

Though the details of her joining the group were unclear, she was efficient in her efforts.

The moment the fan club received the photo, an uproar ensued.

Members flooded the chat with excitement, utterly charmed by how perfect the couple looked together.

The image of Hera and Xavier captured their hearts, fueling their enthusiasm for the budding romance.

The HAVIER fan club erupted with enthusiasm, passionately arguing with rival fan clubs to assert that Xavier and Hera were the perfect match.

They highlighted how their shared career in the same field allowed them to support each other in unique ways.

In response, the opposing fan clubs couldn’t stay silent; they began listing the advantages of their own supported suitors among Hera’s six admirers.

Eager to bolster their case, the HAVIER fans shared the captivating photo of Hera and Xavier, sparking even more excitement.

Fortunately for them, the page where this lively debate was taking place had been created by a fan who envisioned Hera with a harem, allowing fans of various suitors to freely express their thoughts about their favored men.

What none of the fans realized was that this page had been secretly created by Terry, Leo’s assistant, with Leo himself acting as the hidden admin.

His intention was to gather intel on Hera and his rivals without expending unnecessary resources to keep an eye on them.

As the HAVIER fans posted their picture, other fan clubs followed suit, sharing images of Hera with her other suitors and comparing each man.

This strategic move not only provided Leo with valuable insights into his rivals and their dates with Hera but also allowed him to learn what women found attractive in a man.

He began to understand why Hera’s fans supported his competition.

It was a clever tactic, one that kept him informed and one step ahead in the game for her heart.

The members of this page were committed to a strict code of conduct: aside from discussions within the group, they were not allowed to leak any private pictures or information about Hera.

The only exception to this rule was if it became absolutely necessary to protect her or her suitors from potential slander or harm.

This was precisely why Leo had created the page—to provide a space for Hera’s shippers and his rival’s supporters to engage in discussions without the risk of their conversations spilling onto the broader internet, where malicious individuals could twist their words for their own agendas.

By keeping the dialogue contained, Leo was able to maintain control over the flow of information, ensuring that sensitive details remained within the confines of the group.

This strategic approach allowed Leo and his team to monitor which members had access to specific information, enabling them to efficiently track any potential leaks or issues.

Instead of searching for a needle in a haystack if something went awry, they could quickly pinpoint sources of information and address concerns as they arose, safeguarding Hera from unwanted scrutiny.

Most importantly, Leo was seething in his chair as he stared at the picture of Hera and Xavier.

Despite his irritation, he forced himself to stay calm; he had already come to terms with the fact that he had to let Hera choose how she wanted her love life to unfold.

All he needed to do was ensure that he remained her main husband, the one with whom she would share her love and life.

The others were merely backdrops to his grand plan.

However, his annoyance wouldn’t go unchecked.

With a devilish grin spreading across his face, he decided to share the picture in the “Six Musketeer’s Group Chat.”

As he hit send, he bit his lip, trying to suppress his laughter.

The moment Dave saw the picture, his reaction was instantaneous—he flooded the chat with frantic messages, demanding to know where Xavier was and why he hadn’t come to explain himself.

Leo couldn’t help but chuckle at the chaos he had just unleashed, reveling in the moment as the group erupted into a flurry of activity.
