Chapter 96 Let’s Race
By now, other viewers had already discerned the intentions of these VIPs; their subtle hints consistently pointed toward one thing: their interest in Hera. However, uncertainty lingered regarding whether they were merely wealthy fans or potential suitors. What added intrigue to the situation was how comfortable these individuals were with their country’s minister, behaving in a manner that suggested a familiarity and ease that unexpectedly turned rude most of the time. Equally noteworthy was Dave Carson’s lack of intervention, allowing their behavior to continue unchecked.
Everything appeared to be a playful banter among friends. By now, viewers had discerned that these VIPs were all powerful figures operating behind the scenes. They felt a sense of novelty in mingling with them in the chatroom, made possible by Hera’s participation in the Variety Show. This allowed them to witness an intriguing phenomenon unfold in real-time within the lively chatroom.
For Leo, everything appeared bleak, and he was exceedingly irritated. However, he couldn’t simply turn off his phone, fearing he might miss significant developments, especially now that he sensed Xavier was getting closer to his fiancée.
What they were unaware of was that a significant number of influential figures within the Avery Consortium, along with their employees, were quietly supporting their Young Miss by watching her shows while working. Their bosses allowed this because it would contribute to the show’s retention rate. For the consortium, the result is what’s important, allowing them to avoid micromanaging every task and giving them the freedom to use their time more effectively and leisurely.
While watching Hera wasn’t an obligatory task for her associates within the consortium, they genuinely found pleasure in observing her. They admired her lively and humble demeanor around the villagers, and many began to envision a future where Hera would inherit the consortium, with them working under her leadership.
"Sister, hurry up or we won’t be able to ride for long!" Bry’s childlike voice resonated with enthusiasm as he tugged Hera towards the stable where Diamond awaited restlessly.
The moment Hera entered the stable, Diamond snorted with excitement, pacing frantically in its corner. It even nudged the door repeatedly as Hera approached.
Hera couldn’t help but release a delighted chuckle at Diamond’s excitement, finding the horse utterly adorable. With quick strides, she approached, and as she stood before Diamond, the horse ceased its frantic movements. Lowering its head obediently, Diamond allowed Hera to stroke its head affectionately.
"Huh?! Where’s brother?" Bry scanned the stable, expecting to find his sibling already present. "Did he get tired of waiting and leave?" He couldn’t help but scratch the back of his head, his pout quickly replaced by resignation as he shrugged off the thought.
