Chapter 718 Alice In The Middle Of The Storm
What mattered most now was that Alice had effectively destroyed all her chances for better opportunities, and it was entirely her own doing.
Her downfall was inevitable.
The businessmen present now understood that Alice hadn’t just offended the five recognized geniuses in the industry, but she had also crossed Leo from the Hendrix family, as well as the influential Lowery and Jackson families.
All because of her reckless attempt to humiliate Hera, without considering the consequences or showing respect to anyone.
And Hera? She remained untouchable, shielded by powerful men who wouldn’t let anything happen to her. But the best part? The real rewards were just about to begin.
Now that Hera had made her stance clear and Alice was already drowning in her own resentment, suffering the consequences of her actions, she decided to stop here.
There was no need to push Alice any further and risk driving her to madness and retaliation. Besides, Hera still had to gradually strip away Alice’s female lead halo before delivering the final blow. For now, she would wait.
Leo descended the stairs and approached Hera, his gaze locking onto hers as he gently took her hand. With a soft yet firm touch, he urged her to come upstairs and rest, knowing she was exhausted and her feet ached.
Without a backward glance, the five men escorted Hera to the second floor, leaving Alice behind to face the consequences of her actions. The crowd, watching the scene unfold, looked at Alice with sneers and mocking gazes, silently condemning her.
