Chapter 323 She Has A Powerful Backing
The people watching also understood Hera’s point and agreed with her. Coddling wrongdoers only encourages them to continue making mistakes. While kindness is important, misplaced kindness is not helpful in a society where many young people are overly self-assured and think their actions are always correct. They need guidance to learn how to behave properly and responsibly.
They need to learn to be responsible for their actions and not to be self-righteous when fighting for the wrong cause, as it only brings chaos into others’ lives. Instead of gaining a good reputation, Alice was labeled as someone pretending to be kind—a two-faced woman. This perception was started by viewers of the livestream who had seen Alice’s actions during the Variety Show and how she subtly tried to undermine Hera.
As the saying goes, if a man knows other men best, then a woman knows a fellow woman best. Women can often see through to the genuine concern or hidden malice in another woman’s actions. However, it still takes a discerning eye to differentiate between these kinds of people.
Unfortunately for Alice, many discerning women were watching—not just for gossip, but because they had suffered similar injustices. Some had learned to overcome the slander and suffering, while others were still struggling to get back on their feet.
Most of these women watched the live stream to see if Hera could turn the tide or be taken down by it, just like they had been. This was their way of offering silent support to a fellow woman, believing in the importance of lifting each other up rather than tearing each other down.
That’s why, when they realized what Alice was trying to do, they didn’t hesitate to inform others online, ensuring no one would be swayed by her words.
[SamathaB: Has anyone else noticed what this Alice girl is trying to do? She’s been hinting that it’s Hera’s fault for getting entangled in this mess and that her friends were just immature and made a mistake in spreading what they knew. Isn’t she just trying to deflect blame and run away after her plan to undermine Hera failed?!]
[DebbyL: @SamathaB I noticed too! Didn’t she make similar underhanded comments during the Variety Show they attended? She always pretends to be weak and bullied to make viewers see Hera as difficult, when in fact, all the villagers love Hera and see Alice as two-faced.]
[AnnaB: I have a coworker who acts like that around our male colleagues. Every time she gets a little more work than she’s used to, she starts crying and says she needs to go home early to take care of her sick grandmother. The men pity her, and her workload gets passed to me. Because of the stress, I vented about it to my girlfriends. Unfortunately for my coworker, they were at the bar at the time and saw the girl, who was supposed to be taking care of her grandmother, grinding on a man’s lap while taking shots like a wild whore. My friends even took a video and sent it to me because they didn’t want to be accused of slander. I used that video to show everyone, and some of my coworkers found out that her grandmother had long passed away and she was living alone.]
[Swifty: The moral of the story is that behind every crying woman, there can be either genuine innocence or hidden schemes. It’s up to people to uncover the truth. However, remember that a woman who no longer cries might have a heart hardened by the scheming of those who pushed her to her limits.]
