Chapter 714
Chapter 714:
Levi felt like he was being frozen in place. The guy involved was sitting right in front of him! Was he really expected to spill all the details of his private moment with Hertha in front of this guy? It was too awkward to even contemplate.
Noticing Levi’s discomfort, Fernanda chuckled and tried to smooth things over. “Alright, alright. If he’s not ready to talk, don’t push him. Maybe he’ll spill the beans some other time.”
Sloane crossed her arms, pouted, and said, “I just can’t shake the feeling that Hertha’s hiding something. If she’s really up to something shady, I’ll make sure the world knows about it.”
Vinson, taking in her words, met her gaze. “Do you have a problem with her?”
Having run into Vinson a few times at the gym, Sloane considered him a familiar face. She nodded, her expression firm. “Yeah. Isn’t she the one who framed Fernanda? I just can’t stand her. Now, she’s back in the spotlight again. Isn’t she supposed to be a role model? Public figures are meant to set a good example.”
Fernanda interjected, brushing it off. “The past is the past. She apologized and faced the consequences. It’s not a big deal. If she hasn’t broken the law, then…”
“Maybe she deserves a second chance. We can’t just ruin someone’s life over one mistake, can we?”
Sloane raised an eyebrow, her voice tinged with sarcasm, and said, “Wow, Fernanda. You really have a big heart.” Fernanda simply smiled.
Her kindness wasn’t a result of naivety; rather, it came from a deeper understanding of life’s challenges—something Sloane had yet to experience.
Sloane had been sheltered, raised in comfort and luxury, never facing the harsher side of life. Fernanda, however, had struggled to get where she was. Every step and every decision had been a lesson in resilience. She knew firsthand how precious stability, opportunity, and financial independence were.
Hertha hadn’t committed a heinous crime; she hadn’t broken any laws. So, why should her career be sacrificed? Would it really bring Fernanda any satisfaction to see her fall from grace?
No, Fernanda preferred to see Hertha live her life with dignity, grace, and the chance to shine again. She couldn’t help but wish that everyone could approach life this way.

Vinson, his gaze lingering on Fernanda, admired her generosity. There was something about her—a rare blend of wisdom and grace—that caught his attention. Her maturity was striking, as was her ability to stay composed and resilient. As long as she wasn’t pushed too far, she wouldn’t hesitate to offer others her understanding.
Fernanda had already pieced things together. The guy with Hertha in the restroom was likely none other than Vinson. Fernanda wasn’t blind to their history. The fact that both of them had ended up in the same place tonight only heightened her suspicions. Plus, the way Levi kept sneaking glances at Vinson helped confirm her guess.
Therefore, she couldn’t let Sloane keep digging, or she was certain things would become awkward very quickly.
The group chuckled, effortlessly shifting gears, leaving the topic behind and diving into lighter conversation.
