Chapter 751 Alexi’s Choice
He knew all too well that the public thrived on drama and conspiracy theories. As long as he wove a compelling story, most people wouldn’t bother digging for the truth.
Alexi’s eyes gleamed as the idea struck him. If he played this right, not only could he use Rafael and Minerva as his stepping stones, but he could also exact revenge on Rafael.
If the scandal gained traction, Rafael’s company would surely take a hit—its stock price could plummet, causing him to lose a fortune. Rival companies would seize the opportunity to exploit the controversy, riding the wave to drag Rafael down even further. And if Rafael was backed into a corner, Alexi could finally get his payback for being blacklisted.
Better yet, with Rafael weakened, Alexi might even land a contract with one of his rival companies—one with enough influence to challenge Star Ocean Entertainment. If everything fell into place, not only could he reclaim his former glory, but he could also turn the tables on the man who tried to bury him.
As Alexi schemed in his mind, Hera and Athena could see the gears turning in his head, and an unsettling chill ran down their spines.
They had no desire to get further entangled with him—they both knew that once Alexi latched onto someone, he was like glue, refusing to let go until he saw their value wane.
Hera, having been a living testament to this before, had no intention of reliving that experience.
With a determined grit, she turned to leave. However, the moment Alexi saw her attempting to walk away, he pushed his thoughts aside and swiftly pulled her back toward him. Knowing full well that Hera could toss him aside effortlessly, he released her just as quickly—but not before ensuring she was facing him once more.
"Baby, are you really just going to leave like that? Don’t you feel even a little sorry for me?" Alexi said, putting on a pitiful act as he flashed his injuries. They looked terrifyingly painful—so much so that even passersby cast sympathetic glances his way.
