Chapter 860 Incriminating Evidence
With everyone’s eyes fixed on her, Hera calmly shifted the 3D design on the screen and enlarged it. Her voice remained steady and confident.
"As I mentioned earlier, a friend of mine taught me the foundations of jewelry design—including how to use this application to create 3D models or convert my original sketches into digital renders. This helps bring the design to life so viewers can better visualize how it would look when crafted in reality. But that wasn’t all she taught me."
She paused, rotating the 3D model slowly. "She also taught me how to leave behind my signature—small, hidden marks that only I would recognize."
With that, she zoomed in on a discreet corner of the design. A small, elegant signature in cursive appeared: ’Hera.A’. She rotated and zoomed in on several other parts of the jewelry set—each one bearing the same subtle marking, tucked away in the intricate details.
Then, without breaking her rhythm, Hera tapped a few keys on her laptop. A new video began to play on the large screen behind her.
The footage showed a quiet hospital hallway. Nurses and doctors occasionally passed by, checking on patients, but the focus remained on a figure sitting alone in the corridor—Hera herself. Though the patient inside the ICU room was never shown, the video captured Hera, hunched over a digital sketchpad, fully immersed in her work. The footage was grainy at first, but as Hera typed swiftly, the clarity improved, revealing her hand confidently sketching the familiar obsidian horn tiara—the Dragon set—her fingers moving with purpose and intense focus.
Even in the sterile silence of the hospital, her passion burned through every line she drew.
Before anyone could react, Hera played a few more video clips. Each showed her in different outfits, indicating that the footage was taken over several days. In each clip, she was seen sketching and refining her design, with the screen clearly showing the evolution of her work as it took shape day by day.
But Hera wasn’t finished.
