The Return of the Cannon Fodder Trillion Heiress - Chapter 699

Chapter 699: Chapter 699 Slapping Face Online
That was Hera’s first post, and the moment she released it, it quickly garnered hundreds of likes and shares. The comment section was already buzzing with activity, but she chose to ignore it for now. Instead, she focused on uploading the images and videos Sasha had gathered for her in a second post.

The first video featured her and Alice’s audition footage, along with clips from the waiting area where Alice and Minerva had attempted to provoke her, as well as interactions with other actresses who had tried to do the same. However, Hera remained calm and composed, focused solely on her own business.

The audition video also highlighted the director’s and screenwriter’s reactions to Hera and Alice, showcasing the stark difference in how they were treated based on their performances. Additionally, it included the director’s impromptu interview with Hera after her audition with Xavier, further emphasizing the impact of her performance.

Not only that, but Hera, ever cautious since entering the entertainment industry and aware of its murky undercurrents, had made a habit of preparing for any potential schemes that might be thrown her way.

As a precaution, she routinely set up voice or video recordings whenever someone entered her room or got too close to her when there were no surveillance cameras around.

It just so happened that she had installed a discreet pinhole camera in her small lounge. Due to the lounge’s compact size, the camera captured all movements and sounds within the space—she placed it even before she took her seat.

Not only that, but Hera ensured that every instance of Emily and the others making things difficult for her was recorded. All of this evidence was now being used against Emily and Alice.

Additionally, she had video proof of Emily’s transaction—paying marketing accounts to spread false rumors about her. The recording also included discussions of past disagreements, along with supporting video and audio clips, to give the public a clear understanding of the origins of their animosity.

Hera made sure to include everything, leaving no loophole for Emily and Alice to exploit in an attempt to turn the tables on her. That was why she took her time gathering evidence—waiting until the two had played all their cards and made all their allegations. Only then did she compile all the relevant proof, ensuring there was no way for them to backpedal.

[CosmosLive: Holy shit! I just found Hera’s financial profile in the stock market, and she even has crypto investments—my breath is literally stuck in my throat! Who said she was poor?]

[CosmosLive: Let’s not forget she won 11 million from the young masters when she beat them in that race, even before she joined the national racing team. And that’s not all—some of the companies she invested in have now released statements in support of her, resharing her post. Those so-called ‘small’ companies are now raking in millions and are considered some of the fastest-growing businesses with the greatest potential to make it onto the stock market listings!!!]

[CosmosLiv: Oh! And for the record, I wasn’t a fan of Hera before, but damn—who wouldn’t be now? I was just casually scrolling earlier when I saw someone mention her financial profile as a celebrity. At first, I was skeptical—how good could a celebrity’s investment portfolio really be?]

[CosmosLive: As a finance expert who once worked on Wall Street in Manhattan, I usually look down on people who arrogantly flaunt their finances. But damn! I was blown away by her high-risk, high-return investments. She’s got guts, unbelievable foresight, and a level of financial acumen that even makes me feel like I’m falling short.]

[Mamamia: @CosmosLive Good thing you brought up that 11 million! I almost forgot she casually mentioned it in her livestream before.]

[Susanahigh: Wait… Are you THE CosmosLive? The so-called high-and-mighty, self-proclaimed ‘Investment God’ from Wall Street—the one who livestreamed their investment journey and inspired a bunch of young investors?]

[CosmosLive: @Susanahigh Hey! What do you mean ‘self-proclaimed’? My followers gave me that nickname after they watched my investment journey. And those ‘younglings’ you’re talking about? They’re now investing on their own, buying houses and cars. Check out my page if you don’t believe me.]

[Susanahigh: @CosmosLive Self-promotion, huh? Don’t tell me you’re just using Hera’s social media buzz to hype yourself up, rack in more viewers for your livestreams, and boost your monetary value. Hmm… this is what they call clout-chasing, isn’t it?]

[Susanahigh: @CosmosLive (¬‿¬)]

[CosmosLive: @Susanahigh Hey! For your information, I don’t do self-promotion. Everything I said is true. I just happened to come across this post, and when I checked it out, I was genuinely blown away by her financial profile. I had to share my thoughts somewhere! If you don’t believe me, see for yourself—here’s the link to the profile I found. [http\linkedin.Hera_A…..]

[PasserbyGod: Wait, @CosmosLive, you said you weren’t a fan and were just “passing by”—but how did you manage to dig up all this information within minutes of her first post? You even pulled up that racing incident where she won 11 million, plus the statements from the small companies she invested in.]

[PasserbyGod: Really? Even I, someone who’s followed Hera from the start, just saw the statements and haven’t compiled all that info yet. So, tell me honestly… are you her stalker or what?]

[PasserbyGod: (¬‿¬)]

[CosmosLive: @PasserbyGod As someone who has been livestreaming and has worked on Wall Street for a long time, I’ve developed sharp instincts and a quick investigative approach. I know how to spot key information fast, and with today’s internet, all I need are the right keywords—then the search engine does the rest.]

[CosmosLive: (⌐■_■)]

[AuntieNextDoor: But that’s not the point! The real issue here is that little sister Hera has been harassed and called names that even I can’t stomach, all because of these slanderous claims. She just posted solid evidence proving that she got the role fair and square with her acting skills—and on top of that, she’s never acted like a diva. In fact, it was that so-called ‘supporting actress’ who was behaving like a big shot! She even had a bigger lounge than the actual female lead, yet Hera never complained. And still, they wouldn’t leave her alone and went out of their way to provoke her. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil!]

[HeraIsMySister: These girls are clearly jealous of sister Hera’s success and can’t stand seeing her shine. Now, they’re the ones crying foul, acting like victims—how shameless! They thought Hera, being a newbie without any powerful backers, would have no one to support her. But guess what? The truth is out, and karma is coming for them!]

[HeraIsLove: Exactly! Hera auditioned and won the role fair and square—without using money or connections. Meanwhile, the one accusing her of buying the role and stealing it from Alice was actually the one who got parachuted into the supporting role through money! For all we know, she’s the one with a sugar daddy. She looks mean and shady—what was her name again? Oh, right, Emily. Well, Emily, I’ll remember you. I won’t be watching any film or drama you’re in. Rotten apples like you don’t deserve the spotlight.]

[XavierIsLove: What the hell is wrong with these people?! This is Xavier’s first romance movie! Sure, there’s still some action, but hey, we’ll take what we can get. And the best part? He’s doing it to support our Goddess Hera—the woman who conquered our Xavier with her cooking! We’ve been tamed, and we’re dying to see them as an on-screen couple. And now, some haters want to ruin the mood? Ha! You think you can kick Hera out of the cast? Over our dead bodies!]

Then, while the internet was in chaos over Hera’s post, the production team, along with Betty and UE’s PR team, reshared it. Soon after, Rafael’s PR team followed suit.

[DirectorNickOfficial: To set the record straight—everyone in the industry should know my reputation by now. I have never taken bribes. However, as a director, I do need investors to fund my films. It’s true that someone was parachuted into our production, but the only role I could offer was a supporting character. I prioritize the quality of my films, and I am very particular about my lead actors’ abilities. This has been my standard since the beginning of my career, and my previous works are proof of that.]

[DirectorNickOfficial: Hera Ainsley is an exceptional talent—one I have high expectations for. We haven’t even started filming yet; we have only just finished shooting the cover posters for marketing. I never anticipated this kind of controversy to erupt so soon. Especially considering that all our staff and actors signed confidentiality agreements to prevent exactly this kind of unnecessary disruption before the official promotions. Sigh…]

After releasing his statement, the director posted a rushed yet well-executed version of the cover poster.

Xavier had personally hired a photographer and arranged for props, including a jeep and attire that closely resembled his character’s costume on his end. Once the photos were taken, he promptly sent them to the production team, who worked on editing and refining them for the final poster. Though the process was expedited, the end result was still impressive, turning the situation into an unexpected marketing opportunity.

After Director Nick posted the cover poster, he made his stance clear to both the public and the investor pressuring him to replace Hera—he would not be replacing her. If the investor was dissatisfied, they were free to withdraw their funding and leave.

This firm decision was bound to offend some people, but after discussing the situation with Betty, Director Nick had a better understanding of the stakes. Since offending someone was inevitable, he chose to stand his ground against the weaker party.

Having been in the industry for years, earning numerous accolades and forging strong connections, he wasn’t easily swayed. However, even with his influence, he knew better than to go against the true powerhouses—the people backing Hera and the Avery family. In comparison, that small investor was insignificant.
