Chapter 331 Talking About Minerva’s Involvement
Rafael and Hera quickly departed from the scene once they decided to talk, and the onlookers, sensing the seriousness on Hera’s face, chose not to follow. They respected the gravity of the situation and avoided intruding on their conversation. Consequently, the live stream concluded at that point.
Hera and Rafael headed to the Golden Dragon Pavilion in Rafael’s car. Earlier, before their drive, Hera had handed her car keys to Gerald in Rafael’s presence. This gesture made Rafael raise an eyebrow, questioning Gerald’s significance in Hera’s life and why he seemed to be everywhere with her. Despite his curiosity, Rafael chose not to voice his concerns, not wanting to disrupt the positive mood he had just managed to establish with Hera after their reconciliation—or so he hoped.
Logan also bid farewell to Hera before his assistant arrived to take him away for a discussion about his career. His unexpected appearance next to Hera during the livestream caught the attention of many viewers, who were impressed by his looks. As a result, numerous fans began requesting his debut, eager to purchase posters or pictures of him with high clarity.
The response was overwhelming, largely fueled by Hera’s immense popularity, which in turn skyrocketed Logan’s profile. His assistant had to rush to pick him up for an urgent meeting with Betty to address the sudden surge in interest. The live stream turned out to be extraordinarily beneficial—far exceeding expectations. Not only did it help clear Hera’s name, resulting in the deletion of slanderous posts, but it also garnered a highly positive reaction to the official clarification posted on their account.
They also observed that Rafael was not shielding Alexi from public backlash but was, in fact, undermining him further. The company’s response was lackluster as if they were uninterested in clarifying the situation. From the live stream, it was clear that Rafael was defending Hera and expressing both her and his frustration over Alexi’s actions, which had been causing her significant distress.
Now, Rafael and Hera’s shipper grew in numbers on the internet, and even before they left the scene, their picture together had already spread throughout the internet and some even made a collage where they included the other men who were interested in Hera who was wreaking havoc in the comment section which sent everyone laughing and finding their comments and banter online a little funny.
No one could find or see love rivals as harmonious as they are. Even their disagreements came off as playful banter, just like a friendly sparring. This unique dynamic only fueled their online fandom, with supporters eagerly shipping all the men interested in Hera. The growing number of fans for this multi-ship scenario was quickly approaching, and might soon surpass the fan base of any single man paired with Hera.
Betty saw an opportunity to boost Hera’s popularity by leveraging the buzz surrounding her romantic life. She began advertising and spreading the news online, tapping into the many romance enthusiasts eager to follow Hera’s real-life love story. Fans are drawn to seeing their idols in genuine relationships, especially when the suitors are as attractive and charming as Hera’s current interests. This strategy became a major selling point, increasing Hera’s followers and prompting fans to flood the male leads’ social media with requests to court Hera publicly. This newfound attention turned them into mini-celebrities in their own right, significantly boosting their social media followings.
Betty felt that she hardly needed to lift a finger for her artist—everything was falling into place effortlessly. With the surge in Hera’s popularity, there was no need for additional marketing efforts; the buzz was doing the work on its own. This excitement fueled Betty’s enthusiasm even more. Hera’s simple act of standing by her junior during the argument had sparked such a positive response that it gave her junior a significant boost, showcasing how powerful Hera’s support could be.
