Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 211: Richard's expression darkened, clearly annoyed by his wife's constant chatter. The looks from those around them said it all.

"Enough!" he snapped.

Sandra blinked, caught off guard. "Did I say something wrong? She spent four years in prison. How did she go from that to being a composer? Did she write music behind bars?"

"That's enough!" Richard growled again, giving Sandra a cold, hard stare. Just then, the host's voice cut through. "Contestant number 11, Rosanna Morgan, you may begin your performance." The music began.

Everyone was shocked when her competition piece wasn't "One More Day."

Instead, Rosanna chose a song that she had never sung in public before.

As soon as she finished, the online buzz started up once again. "Oh my goodness! What happened to her? Was it the music, or did something else go wrong? Did she miss a note?"

"I thought the same thing! She was off-key, her breathing was shaky, and the rhythm was all over the place."

"Why didn't she stick with her usual 'One More Day'? This one was terrible!"

"Seriously? I'm starting to wonder if her earlier songs were really worked on by some skilled sound engineer. Is she going to get kicked off?"

"Not really. The others weren't much better either; they were a total mess."

"So this is her real singing ability… Terrible, I must say. And her fans are still worried about K deliberately disparaging her? Is that really necessary? Just commenting frankly is enough to make Rosanna ashamed."

Chris saw those posts on social media and immediately liked them. He'd just turned down the volume and was still shocked by how underwhelming Rosanna's performance was.

Now, JusticeBlaze was having a field day.

He jumped onto social media and started roasting her. "Is this really the best you can do? @RosannaMorgan" Immediately, the online criticism flooded in.

But Rosanna's fans weren't having it.

"Are you all just haters? Rosanna was a little nervous, thanks to Maia. She sounded fine once she got into it."

"Where was she off-key? I didn't hear it. Are you getting paid by Maia to troll? How much do you make per post? Share the secret with me."

"Rosanna, don't let them get to you! Keep going - we've got your back."

"I'm Rosanna's classmate from college. I can vouch for it - her performance was off. This isn't her true talent."

"Anyone who's watched Rosanna's videos knows she wasn't herself today. She should've done better."

Brielle's critique hit the mark. Rosanna's performance was lackluster, full of flaws.

When it was Maia's turn to make comments, she stayed silent and handed the microphone to the next judge, sparking a storm online.

Maia chose to stay silent about Rosanna's performance, effectively avoiding any possible criticism from Rosanna's fans.

"This explains why K is a legend! If anyone still thinks Maia would intentionally sabotage the scores, step up and say it!"

"Did you catch that? Pure class! Maia stayed out of it, which technically counts as giving her the lowest possible score without dragging down the final average."

"This whole thing is hilarious. The highest score was an eight from Brielle. Everyone else? Sevens, sixes, even a five! You should've seen the judges' faces. It was priceless!"

"Now that I think about it, Rosanna might actually get booted this round. Weren't there people hyping her up like she was the second coming of a champion? What a joke!"
