Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 189: During the call, he informed her that he had set up a professional recording studio for her use, and she should start rehearsing the following day. He also reassured her about not worrying over Maia's legal threats, promising that he would take care of everything.

"Rosanna, I'm eagerly anticipating your performance."

After ending the call, Rosanna felt a surreal shift in emotions. Just days before, she had been anxious and fearful, but now a wave of satisfaction washed over her.

She realized that the lawsuit and the singing competition claims were likely just bluffs from Maia. The entertainment company had even confirmed that Maia's name wasn't listed among the contestants. "Maia, you've really sabotaged yourself this time." That night, excitement kept Rosanna awake.

Conversely, the next morning found Maia rising early, refreshed from a good night's sleep. She found the breakfast table laid out with all her favorite foods.

Chris had left a note explaining his early departure. Maia felt a warm surge of gratitude. She wondered-had she ever mentioned her food preferences, or had Chris simply intuited them? As she enjoyed her breakfast, her phone kept buzzing with Facebook notifications.

Despite nearly a hundred notifications since the previous evening, Maia showed no interest in checking them. She simply turned her phone face down and continued savoring her meal.

Meanwhile, online buzz was growing around a mysterious singer. A video of Maia performing at Starlight Bar had been posted, where she sang incognito, wearing a mask, which only added to the intrigue. Most crucially, her singing was exceptional. Her version of "One More Day" was being compared to Brielle's iconic performance, with some claiming that it even surpassed Brielle's.

What a remarkable display of skill!

The impact was electrifying!

The video quickly amassed over five million views.

It swept through social media, with her voice captivating listeners nationwide.

A fan commented, "Look at this gem! If she doesn't make it onto The Voice, it's truly the show's loss."

"Talent really does come from the most unexpected places. Being a hardcore Brielle fan, I have to say this masked singer's got serious chops. The video quality is so poor, I'm half-convinced it's Brielle in disguise."

"It's definitely within the realm of possibility. Look at the dress; it's MCN's hit, the Blue Sea. That's not something just anyone can get their hands on."

"But Brielle is the Queen of Pop; she wouldn't perform in such a lowkey venue."

"I'm calling on The Voice organizers to bring this singer on board, or I'm tuning out."

Fans of Rosanna dropped disparaging remarks in the comments section. "Clearly a fake. If she had money, why would she perform there?"

Nevertheless, the public was unfazed.

A massive number of social media users bombarded The Voice of Zephyria's organizers with tags, clamoring for the masked singer to be allowed to compete.

The organizers found themselves in a dilemma. They had just issued a clarification the day before, and now they were dealing with a masked singer.

Yesterday's facts were straightforward to verify, but today's mystery was far more complex.

With only one video to go on and no other leads, they were hardly detectives. Yet, the undeniable quality of the singing piqued the interest of even the investors and owners.

Out of options, the official account took to Facebook again, offering a reward for information that could help identify the singer. This move was also an attempt to meet the soaring expectations of the fanbase.

For a time, the narrative around the masked singer was a whirlwind of truth and rumors.
