Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 137: "I'm deeply grateful to everyone who's spoken out for me. Truly, all I ever wanted was to ask Maia to return the bracelet. I never imagined things would spiral like this. If she's willing to give it back, please, I beg you all - give her a second chance and stop hurting her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Within minutes, her fans rushed to flood her comments with love.

"Rosanna is too pure for this world! She's still defending Maia after everything," one fan said in the comments.

"I'm crying right now. If Rosanna can forgive, it's up to us to make sure justice is served! We can't let good people lose hope!" "Hmph! Rosanna might be merciful, but I'm not! People like Maia need to pay for every wrong they commit!"

After her first Twitter post last night, Rosanna had made up her mind to come clean to Sandra and Richard-well, her version of the truth, anyway.

Sitting them down, she spun her story. She explained that she hadn't realized the bracelet was a precious keepsake from Vicki and had sold it off unknowingly. Only later did she find out that it ended up in Maia's hands. Rosanna claimed that Maia had flaunted the bracelet at an exclusive party, deliberately waving it in front of her. That was when Rosanna realized what had happened and asked Maia to return it.

But Maia insisted that the bracelet had been a gift from Vicki and outright refused to return it.

Sandra and Richard had no idea that Vicki had left behind such a valuable family treasure. When they discovered that Maia had taken the bracelet, potentially worth 150 million dollars, they were too rattled to stay calm.

After finalizing their next move, the Morgan Group's official Twitter page reposted Rosanna's latest message barely a minute after it went live. They added a statement of their own: "No matter the circumstances, Maia will always be one of us. If she returns the bracelet and sincerely repents, our home will remain open to her." In true opportunistic fashion, they rode the trending wave to slip in some subtle brand promotion.

Before long, the comment section exploded.

Mₒᵣₑ ᵤₚdₐₜₑₛ ᵢₙ gₐₗₙₒᵥₑₗₛ.????ₒₘ "Now that's what you call real class! The Morgan family truly lives up to their reputation!"

"Seventeen years of raising her without even a blood connection. That's genuine love right there. Who could turn their back on such a bond?"

"No wonder Rosanna turned out so incredible. Kindness and elegance must run in the Morgan bloodline!"

"Forget it, I'm supporting the Morgan Group from now on. Buying their products is the least we can do!"

Watching their approval ratings soar, Sandra and Richard beamed with satisfaction, practically glowing with pride.

Meanwhile, Rosanna lounged lazily on the velvet softness of the Morgan Villa's cashmere sofa, legs elegantly crossed, a victorious smirk tugging at her mouth.

Confidence radiated off her in waves. In her mind, Maia had no escape left - it was just a matter of time before she surrendered the bracelet and posted a public apology for everyone to see.

However, across town, Maia sat quietly, her eyes narrowing into sharp slits as she scrolled through the latest posts. "Looks like it's finally time," she whispered under her breath.

Without hesitation, she created a brand-new Twitter account and began drafting a post. Simple but cutting, the caption read: "Actions reveal truth better than words ever could. Fairness lives in the hearts of those who choose to see." Beneath the message, she uploaded a video.

Since Maia had used her real name, it was easy for people to track her down and start following her. Rosanna's supporters, eager to go after her, rushed to her page, only to be greeted by the post.

The video showed an elderly woman sitting by a sunlit window, her face glowing with a gentle, aching tenderness. It was Vicki - Maia's beloved grandmother - speaking into the camera, her voice carrying the soft cadence of goodbye, wrapped in endless love.
