The host shot her a knowing smile and said. "Was that your ex? Why does he sound familiar?"
Hera shot her an awkward smile. "He is. I hear that a lot about his voice."
The host gave Hera a warm smile. "What evidence are you presenting?"
Hera tapped a few times on her phone and then gave it to the crew to show the camera the content.
"You see, my boyfriend and I had moved to that apartmentst year and the receipt of the rent and bills are all in my name. But I guess this alone will not prove anything so I took the recording from our camera connected to the living room and I asked for a copy of the surveince camera of our hallway."
The crew eagerly connected Hera’s phone to theptop they had brought, preparing to y the recordings. To ensure that both the host and Hera remained visible to the viewers, they set up a split-screen disy to y the recordings alongside the ongoing conversation.
Upon hearing that Hera would y a recording, Minerva was jolted from her frenzy and began to feel deeply anxious. She has always been screwing Alexi in their shared apartment because she felt superior to Hera knowing that her boyfriend is feeling good in her embrace while she worked tirelessly to provide for him. Now, the prospect of her deception being revealed left her trembling with apprehension.
In a state of agitation and despair, Minerva tearfully called her brother, her voice choked with emotion. "Big Brother," she sobbed, struggling to articte her distress. "Please, if you have to, drag her from the interview. My reputation will be destroyed..." Her sobs grew louder, drowning out her words. "I don’t know how I’ll face my friends if she tarnishes my name. Huhuhu..."
Rafael found himself at a loss for how to handle his unruly sister. A surge of headache pounded against his temples, prompting him to massage them as he listened to her on the phone. "Tell me," he said, frustration evident in his voice. "Why did you go to such lengths to destroy her when you’re the one who stole her boyfriend?"
Minerva choked on the lump in her throat, unsure of how to respond to her brother’s questioning. She sensed his restrained anger through the phone line. "I’m sorry, big brother," she stammered, her voice wavering. "I was just afraid she’d ckmail me and ruin my reputation. I was scared, please help me, okay? I really love Alexi."
"Hmph! Love? He’s clearly using your sorry ass to climb up thedder. Didn’t you hear what he said on the livestream?"
"Big brother, how could you talk to me that way?!" Minerva shouted.
"What?! I can’t even lecture my immature sister? Then handle this problem on your own!"
"I’m sorry big brother, please help me?"
"I’ll try, but you better prepare yourself after this."
Just the tone of Rafael’s anger was enough to send a chill down her spine. She wasn’t afraid of her parents, but her brother was a different story. Hot-headed and easily triggered, once he was angry, he was like a lion whose tail had been stepped on.
Rafael left his office and instructed his assistant to find out Hera’s location and phone number.
As the secondrgest entertainmentpany in the country, Rafael wielded considerable power and had extensive connections.
Usually, a single call would yield the information he needed within 5 minutes. However, it had been 30 minutes, and he was still waiting. Rafael sat in his car, watching Hera on the livestream, well aware of what the recording on the screen was showing.
So far, the recording only depicted Hera’s routine entries and exits from the room. Even when her boyfriend appeared on camera, his face was blurred, leaving Rafael with a favorable impression of Hera.
Her intention was solely to clear her name without implicating anyone else. Rafael’s frustration with his sister intensified due to the trouble she was causing for the family.
Before long, the recording progressed to the day of the incident.
"Sir, we’ve received information from the TV station indicating that the crew was invited to the Dragon Jade Building for the interview."
Rafael raised his eyes to meet his assistant’s gaze, surprise evident on his face. With a newfound understanding of why they struggled to locate Hera, a grin yed at the corners of his lips, betraying a medley of emotions.
"Let’s go there and see for ourselves then"
The driver maintained a steady speed on the road, sensing the urgency of the situation without needing explicit instructions from his boss. He understood that this was a matter concerning their family’s reputation, and he navigated the vehicle with precision and focus.
On the live stream, the scene unfolding showed Hera’s arrival on the fifth floor, where she was met with the watchful eyes of the bodyguards. The tension in the air was palpable as she hurriedly made her way into her apartment, clearly feeling uneasy under their scrutinizing gaze.
The scene transitioned to Hera’s arrival inside her apartment, where her eyes fell upon the cluttered clothes strewn across the floor. A wave of disbelief washed over her as she pitifully sank to the ground, only to be confronted by the sight of her boyfriend emerging from his room, half-naked, followed closely by a woman wearing a man’s shirt.
[Asiaisthebest: Woah! To think that she’s housing a snake and taking care of him like a king yet he is still acting like that!!!! I feel ashamed as a man!]
[Xoxo: I’ve been a regr on Hera’s ount by now, and I say. She’s a wife material, she deserves far better than someone who would betray her trust. In my opinion, parting ways with such a person is a blessing in disguise..]
[Auntienextdoor: I am literally crying for her!!! I feel so bad for my younger sister Hera.]
[Athena_Lowry: When did she be your sister? She’s mine hmp! Anyway, it’s a good riddance of trash that they broke up, Hera deserves better.]
The atmosphere grew tense as viewers witnessed the shocking turn of events. Silence enveloped the room as the mistress’s p reverberated through the screen, followed by the unsettling sight of Hera being forcibly removed. Contrary to Sweet Dumpling’s portrayal, Minerva’s smirk revealed a different side to the story. Despite Hera’s feeble attempts to resist, she was subjected to rough treatment, her clothes torn and her dignity trampled upon.
