Chapter 698 The Simple Counter Defeats The Schemer
After confirming that she and Betty were on the same page and that the other party was already waiting for her signal, Hera opened the file Sasha had prepared for her. She then accessed her social media, which was flooded with harassing comments.
Her inbox displayed 999+ messages, but she ignored them. Even her muted notifications showed 999+, a clear sign that a massive number of people had visited her profile to leave hateful remarks.
Despite the overwhelming negativity, Hera took a quick glance at the comments on her most recent post and noticed that her fans were still standing up for her. The number of her followers hadn’t dropped significantly, proving that many still believed in her.
However, she could see that some were beginning to waver. Her continued silence in response to the accusations made them question if the claims held any truth, assuming that her lack of rebuttal meant she had nothing to defend herself with.
Reading all this, Hera smirked. She hadn’t remained silent because she lacked a way to counter the accusations—she had simply given Alice and Emily enough rope to hang themselves. Now that they had taken center stage, her counterattack would hit them where it hurt the most.
It was clear they still didn’t understand how she operated. In past incidents, like the ones involving Minerva and Alexi, she had shut down her opponents with undeniable evidence, piece by piece. But Alice and Emily believed they had covered their tracks well.
They had gone to great lengths to erase surveillance footage and even sent someone to delete the audition recordings, thinking that without concrete proof, Hera wouldn’t be able to fight back.
Unfortunately for them, they had underestimated her far too much.
After discussing contingency plans with Director Nick to ensure their filming wouldn’t be affected by the controversy, Betty and Nick decided on a straightforward approach—releasing the audition footage of both Hera and Alice.
