Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 132: Her fans responded with even more fervor, "You have nothing to apologize for, Rosanna. It is Maia who should be ashamed! No matter what happens, we will stand with you!"

The uproar online was like a single spark igniting a roaring wildfire. That very night, the socialites who had attended the party with Maia caught wind of the trending storm and began airing their own accusations.

Everlee Bates said, "It is all true. We were at Aurora Crest tonight when Maia strolled in, flashing that bracelet around like she owned the place. She had no shame at all. And here's some extra gossip - she is not just a thief. She is also being kept by a man!"

Backing her up, Harlee Rivera responded, "I saw it with my own eyes. Maia was with some man tonight. When we tried to help Rosanna get the bracelet back, that guy used his pull to have the club owner throw us out!" Jemma Holmes reposted both comments and said, "I was there too, and everything they said is true. If I am lying, may bad luck follow me forever!"

Never one to miss the chance for drama, Stacy jumped in and said, "Same here! Just a few days ago, I spotted Maia shopping at the MCN store in Vanrich Global Plaza. Staff said she's one of their Supreme VIPs. Later, I saw her slipping into a Rolls-Royce Phantom!"

Known for their carefully curated lives and glamorous selfies, each of these socialites had a hefty online following of their own.

Their posts spread like wildfire, gaining speed with every share and comment. By the end of the night, hashtags like #MaiaKeptByAMan and #MaiaStealsBracelet dominated the trending charts, claiming the top two spots with ease.

"Hold up - wasn't Maia just released from jail recently? How'd she end up being someone's sugar baby? Is the guy blind or what?"

"If you ask me, Maia was probably being kept by someone even before all this."

"Didn't she used to be totally obsessed with Vince? What - ditched him that fast?"

"Well, Vince was her fiancé at one point. But that's ancient history. Obviously, she had to latch onto someone new. Who else is going to bankroll her lifestyle? Girls like her can't fend for themselves - they always need someone to leech off!"

"Rosanna's still leagues ahead. Remember those clips of her singing back in school? She seriously had star potential. But instead of chasing fame, she turned down all those talent scout offers to pursue her true calling - designing jewelry! Even now, being engaged to Vince hasn't made her conceited."

"Maia spent seventeen years living like royalty. How can she possibly measure up to Rosanna, who climbed every rung through grit and hard work? Honestly, women like Maia should just stay in their lane and quit trying to overshadow the real queen!"

Rosanna's supporters didn't just hurl nasty remarks - they took it several steps further. They hunted down Maia's old pictures, photoshopped them into eerie memorials and ghost images, and flooded Facebook with hashtags like #MaiaTheMooch, #MaiaTheCrook, and #MaiaTheShameOfWront at breakneck speed.

A small group of more level-headed viewers spoke up. "Don't you think Rosanna's fans are crossing a line? Nothing's even been proven yet, and they're already making creepy edits? They do realize tampering with personal images could land them in legal trouble, right?"

"Are you Maia's secret burner account? Why are you defending her so much? Hope you lose every family heirloom you own after your parents pass!"

"She's already such a disgrace, and people are still sticking up for her? Bet Maia's paying fake accounts to cover for her!"

"She's attached herself to someone powerful. Forget bots - she could erase these trending topics in a snap! Girls, don't slow down. Let's see who's quicker - her scrubbing the mess or us airing her dirty laundry!"
