The moment the NRT manager heard Hera's calm voice, he broke down, sobbing, "My little ancestor... h-huhuhu!"
His voice was filled with relief and desperation, as though he had just found his savior, unable to hold back his grievances any longer.
Hera was surprised to hear the manager's voice. Instinctively, she pulled the phone away from her ear and glanced at the screen, which still showed Betty's name as the caller ID.
Realizing it must be a conference call, she quickly pieced together that this wasn't about her ambassadorial contract—it had something to do with the National Race Team.
She hadn't had the chance to check the online discussions since her initial confrontation with the reporter, so she was still unaware that news of her participation in the National Race Team had already gone public.
Unbeknownst to her, the team had also released an official statement to clarify the situation.
