Chapter 857 Her Retaliation Begins
[HeraIsMySister: And let’s be honest—none of the incidents Alice hinted at were even started by sister Hera. She’s always minded her own business. If you don’t believe it, there’s actual evidence out there. Don’t blindly follow hearsay.]
[HeraIsMySister: Ever heard of paid trolls and water armies? Yeah—those fake accounts that spew lies like garbage from a trash fire, with mouths stinkier than a grandpa’s sweaty sock with athlete’s foot. Gross. Eck!]
[OldMan: @HeraIsMySister Little girl, who are you calling stinky with athlete’s foot? I’ll have you know my feet are as soft as a baby’s and smell like lavender!]
[Doodle: @OldMan Lavender? You mean the kind that puts people to sleep the moment they catch a whiff?]
[Anali: If the shoe fits, OldMan... (－‸ლ) (¬_¬)]

While the internet was in an uproar over Alice’s design presentation, her name quickly climbed to dominate the top 10 trending topics for the first time. Hera watched silently as every single headline and discussion revolved around Alice and her so-called masterpiece. When Alice returned backstage, she didn’t waste the opportunity to throw Hera a smug, provocative smile before strutting off to the side to take a call from her manager.
With new endorsement offers flooding in and several top brands reaching out, Alice was practically glowing. If she decided to pivot into becoming an influencer-designer, she’d likely attract a wave of followers and sponsorship deals overnight.
Even if Rafael continued trying to block her path or take legal action, it wouldn’t matter much—at this rate, Alice could choose to forcibly end her contract with SOE and pay the breach penalty, which stood at around six million dollars. But with her name now gaining traction on the international stage, that amount was pocket change compared to the lucrative opportunities lining up at her door.
