Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 1173 Chapter 1175: They wouldn't have to hide anymore. They could be together in the open and accept everyone's congratulations. "Looks like I'll need to give Austen a surprise too..." Rosanna murmured. Her smile lingered, but her eyes hardened, glinting like ice that wouldn't melt. Naturally, it would be a shock for Axell as well. She had never forgotten that birthday banquet-how that brute Axell had grabbed her, how his alcohol-soaked stench and foul touch had clung to her skin. After that night, she had felt tainted from head to toe.

"For you, Austen..." Rosanna pressed a hand to her chest, her voice barely audible. "I'm ready to embrace widowhood." Meanwhile, the man wearing the walnut-wood mask finally lowered his phone. He chuckled under his breath. "I'm dying to see the look on that woman called 'Enchantress' when she hears Faceless is dead. I've done my part... and it's almost a kindness. The woman he likes won't start crying so soon." "Are you sure this isn't some kind of torment? Keeping that woman in her illusion isn't a good option. She has to face reality sooner or later." His companion shook his head. "Come on.

We can't leave the deputy leader waiting." The man in the walnut-wood mask shrugged, set down Austen's phone, and turned to his companion. "Did you manage to get the invitation card for the charity event?" His companion smirked. "Of course. That was a piece of cake. After all, I'm something of a celebrity under this mask." At Elysium Apartments, Chris hurried around, getting ready to head out. He'd nearly forgotten he was supposed to be resting at the hospital-he had slipped out the day before. Just as he finished the meal Maia had prepared for him, his phone started ringing nonstop.

On the line, a nurse from the hospital spoke sharply. "Mr. Cooper, this is the nurse on duty last night. No matter where you are, you need to get back to the hospital right away. I don't want the head nurse yelling at me because you sneaked out. If..." "...you don't return soon, I'll have to tell your attending physician, and Dr. Walsh will give your family a serious talking-to." Read it all on gⱯlnσνℓs․com Chris hurried down the stairs without wasting a second. Outside, the air smelled of wet soil and fresh rain. He swung open the car door and turned the key, but his phone buzzed right then.

Glancing at the screen, he saw Pattie calling. What could she want from him? The moment he picked up, Pattie's anxious voice spilled out. "Chris, where are you right now? Are you with Maia?" "What's going on? I'm not with Maia right now." Chris frowned slightly. "Have you tried reaching her?" "Of course I have. More than once." Pattie drew a shaky breath, her tone dropping. "I'm stuck at the police station and can't get hold of Maia... Also, Chris, could you come over?

The police need me to give an eyewitness statement about the shooting in the alley yesterday." Hearing this, Chris understood Pattie's situation. "Don't worry, Pattie. I need to swing by the hospital first, so I'll be a little late." . . .
