The reason Hera(?) Went after Bryan was because of him being the son of Aphrodite.
Unloyal and unhappy marriages comes from no longer loving eachother or not a lot of love. Aphrodite is the goddess of love so Hera blames her. What better way to also get back at her then mess with her kids.
She was the one to put the corrupted item for Bri to find, she even put a hidden corruption in the other one for the chance of Bri picking the right one.
