The Return of the Cannon Fodder Trillion Heiress - Chapter 632

Chapter 632: Chapter 632 When They Don’t Care
Before the woman could say another word, Dave turned to Luke and the others with a smirk. “What do you think? Should we just book the entire place to keep the pests away? No more bees and butterflies buzzing around, disturbing our peace.”

“Seriously! This was supposed to be a romantic moment for us to enjoy with our girl, but now it’s being hijacked by some random person,” Dave groaned, rolling his eyes dramatically before taking a sip of his coffee.

His tone was casual, yet the message was sharp, and it was clear that the sight of the woman’s tears had no effect on him.

The woman abruptly stopped crying, realizing that her emotional display wasn’t working on Dave—or any of the others. Her confidence wavered, and for the first time, she felt her charm and allure had been thoroughly dismissed.

‘Who said men instinctively feel protective over a woman who cries beautifully?’ she thought bitterly. At this point, she didn’t know whether to feel humiliated or furious.

“Given the situation, do you think we should switch to a private exploration instead of roaming the streets?” Dave suggested, his tone light yet pointed. “Our sweetheart seems to attract so much attention that we keep getting interrupted, which is honestly a total buzzkill.”

Dave spoke without a shred of concern for how his words might affect the woman’s feelings. Being repeatedly referred to as an interruption and a buzzkill could easily chip away at her confidence, but Dave didn’t care.

After all, he wasn’t the one who started this mess. It was the woman who had insulted Hera, spread baseless rumors, and let her jealousy and insecurity drive her to stir up trouble.

Among the six of them, Dave was by far the most outspoken. Known nationwide for his sharp tongue and unfiltered directness, his blunt behavior surprised no one tuning into Hera’s live stream.

In fact, his candid remarks earned him widespread approval, with viewers flooding the comment section with thumbs-up and laughing emojis, applauding him for standing up for Hera.

“I-I’m sorry, I’ll leave you alone,” the woman stammered, though she hesitated to walk away. It was clear she was waiting for someone to reassure her, to tell her everything was fine, or perhaps even to reprimand Dave for going too far.

To her surprise, no one spoke up in her defense. Instead, Leo, Luke, Xavier, and Dave ignored her entirely and seamlessly shifted the conversation back to their plans for the day.

As if Hera’s hunger was their top priority, they busied themselves piling food onto her plate while casually discussing their tour itinerary.

Their focus on Hera was so unwavering that it was as though the woman had ceased to exist entirely.

“I think Dave’s suggestion makes a lot of sense,” Leo said, his tone calm and thoughtful.

“I’ve already contacted someone to prepare a private helicopter for us. This way, we can explore freely and quickly without wasting time stuck in traffic.”

As he spoke, he poured a glass of juice for Hera and gently slid it in front of her. “Eat slowly,” he added with a soft smile.

Hera returned his smile and nodded her thanks before voicing her concern. “If we tour the city by helicopter, wouldn’t that take away the joy of experiencing it up close on the ground?”

“Not necessarily,” Luke chimed in, surprising everyone by backing Leo’s suggestion for once. “We can still enjoy the city’s charm from above and get a unique perspective of its beauty.”

“Exactly,” Xavier added from the other side, swallowing a bite of his sandwich before continuing. “Plus, this way, we can avoid any unwanted encounters or hearing people badmouthing you again.”

“See? Everyone’s on the same page, and Leo’s already handled everything,” Dave said with a wide grin, clearly enjoying the moment.

Then he turned to Leo, his expression shifting to one of playful curiosity. “But seriously, dude, how do you have such a wide network here? You’re starting to look a little too resourceful,” he added, his tone carrying a hint of mock interrogation as he narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

Leo, maintaining his composed demeanor, responded smoothly. “I was sent abroad to work at one of the Hendrix Consortium’s branch offices, and one of the locations I managed happened to be here in Barcelona.”

“During that time, I got to know some of the locals and formed good connections,” he explained succinctly, steering clear of unnecessary details.

With this straightforward explanation, Leo easily dispelled Dave’s suspicions. His reasoning was both plausible and aligned with expectations.

After all, for a family like the Hendrixes, it wasn’t unusual to assign relatives to overseas branches to oversee operations.

While such an assignment might appear like a demotion to some, in reality, it was a chance to prove one’s capabilities.

Being sent to a branch often implied the location was facing challenges—whether due to declining sales, internal conflicts, or other issues—and it was up to the appointed individual to identify and resolve them effectively.

Now that they understood Leo’s background and experience, it became clear that the Hendrix family valued him highly.

His earlier display of authority no longer seemed out of place; rather, it reinforced the idea that his talents were well-recognized.

Even if he currently held the position of a manager, it wasn’t far-fetched to imagine that the Hendrix heir might soon promote him to a more influential role—perhaps even as a trusted right-hand man.

This realization wasn’t lost on Hera, Luke, Xavier, and Dave. With their own backgrounds in business, they could see beyond surface appearances and recognize the subtle signs of someone being groomed for greater responsibilities.

Their insights extended far beyond what the average person might perceive, allowing them to appreciate the depth of Leo’s capabilities and potential.

As Leo, Luke, Dave, and Xavier engaged in a lively conversation about their itinerary, the woman was gradually overlooked and forgotten.

Hera, focused on enjoying her breakfast, paid no attention to her. With no sympathy from anyone, the woman’s confidence—once bolstered by her beauty—was now shaken.

She was a morena beauty, admired by many men, and had always been certain of her allure—until Dave had so bluntly shut her down.

But for the five of them, this brief encounter was nothing more than a passing distraction. Once breakfast was finished, they put the episode behind them and made their way to the helipad, where a large helicopter awaited, ready to whisk them away to the next chapter of their day.

The pilot was already seated, making final preparations. “Sir, please allow me to take over. We can fly it ourselves,” Leo said, tapping on the window to catch the pilot’s attention.

The pilot’s initial surprise quickly shifted to skepticism as he sized Leo up, taking in the sight of him from head to toe.

But knowing Leo’s status as their secret superior, the pilot had no choice but to comply. With a respectful nod, he stepped away from the controls.

Luke immediately slid into the co-pilot seat to assist Leo, while Hera, Dave, and Xavier took their places in the back. The arrangement created a more private, intimate atmosphere, their own space away from prying eyes.
