Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 160: The reaction was instant. Every corner of the internet roared to life as the video tore through social media like a spark in a dry field.

On the video, Maia and Vincenzo maintained a respectful distance, discussing only topics related to jewelry and antique collections, with no hint of intimacy. Their conversation unfolded smoothly, with Maia speaking confidently and responding to every topic without missing a beat. Her insight ran even deeper than Vincenzo's, leaving many industry insiders thoroughly impressed.

Eventually, the whole truth was unveiled. It turned out that they were just having dinner and chatting, with no inappropriate action. People online were stunned by Maia's intelligence and poise. Public opinion quickly shifted.

"Maia is a prodigy! How is she so knowledgeable at her age?" "I was so upset by those lies that I lost sleep over it. Now, I feel relieved. Truth has a way of prevailing, and intellect quiets the rumors. Bravo, Maia, for silencing the detractors!"

"Maia, you're a gem! I regret my earlier words. I was deceived. I'm unfollowing Rosanna and her ignorant clique right now. They're too bad!"

In addition to celebrating Maia, online users also praised the whistleblower.

"Finally, someone with integrity couldn't stand by and had to act!"

"The public is discerning, and justice favors Maia!"

"I've had enough. There's a new hero in town, and I'm joining the ranks of Rosanna's detractors!"

"And count me in as another of Rosanna's anti-fans! I'm joining the movement too!"

Suddenly, a flood of users bombarded Rosanna's Facebook with critical comments.

"Rosanna, you wanted justice, right? How about now?"

"Rosanna, quit playing the victim. Watch the video and see the truth!"

"It's laughable how some never learn. Got humiliated again, didn't you?"

"Talk about a reality check! Rosanna, have you no shame left?"

Opening her Facebook, Rosanna was met with these mocking comments, her anger reaching a boiling point.

Her fellow socialites were also bombarded with harsh comments, their inboxes filled with bitter messages, driving them to message Rosanna, distraught and in tears.

Rosanna was in no state to respond. Her public image had taken yet another hit, and the torrent of criticism left her reeling, nearly causing her to collapse.

Before long, some astute viewers spotted a man across from Maia in the video. His face was obscured, and he stepped away to answer a phone call. Yet, his tall, impressive stature was unmistakable - clearly a man of allure. This triggered another flurry of online conjecture. Viewers speculated about his identity and his possible connection to Maia. Was he her romantic partner? However, some observed that there seemed to be no interaction between Maia and the striking man, suggesting a mere acquaintance.

A mere acquaintance? Chris, checking his messages, showed a resigned smile. He was far more than that; he was Maia's husband!

After wrapping up his tasks, Chris approached their apartment door, opened it, and found Maia nestled on the couch, engrossed in her phone.

Unaware of Chris's arrival, Maia was deeply engrossed in her thoughts about the recent turmoil. She wondered about the origins of the video. Who had uploaded it? Who was secretly supporting her? And where had they accessed the surveillance footage from?

Even a friend of hers, a skilled hacker, had to put in a great deal of effort to recover it. It was clear that the person behind this possessed impressive skill, yet there seemed to be no apparent reason for them to help her.
