Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 231: In the first, Vince was seen clasping her wrist in a way that suggested they were hand in hand.

The second captured Vince seemingly whispering to her, with Maia angling her head towards him, creating an air of closeness.

The final picture showed them at a street corner at dusk, their elongated shadows cast by the setting sun, depicting a scene of lovers lingering before parting.

Beneath the pictures, the caption screamed: "Shocking News! Gifted composer K, Maia Watson, and her former fiancé, Vince Ward, were spotted together at sunset, sharing an intimate moment! Sources claim that Rosanna Morgan, recently withdrawn from The Voice of Zephyria, is engaged to Vince… Tensions between Maia and Rosanna have reached a dangerous high…" At once, Maia's eyes sharpened, and a heavy chill fell over her features. Up until now, she had not even stepped into the spotlight, yet someone was already trailing her.

Some nosy photographer had secretly snapped photos of her with Vince.

Furthermore, the selection of these photos was intentional.

Angles were chosen specifically to twist the truth, painting a false story.

Anyone seeing the pictures without context would surely fall for the lie. It was clear they were stirring up trouble between her and Rosanna just to draw a crowd.

She realized that these entertainment platforms had long since abandoned any sense of decency. Two women competing for the same man? Was Vince even worth it? He and Rosanna, with all their fake smiles and hidden knives, truly deserved each other.

Casting a disdainful look at the comment section, Maia's lips tightened into a cold, unimpressed line. So, this was the game they wanted to play? Fine. Let them try.

The online comments were exploding with reactions.

"Impossible! Wasn't Vince about to marry Rosanna? How did Maia get involved with him again?"

"Back in Wront, it was common knowledge how deeply Maia was infatuated with Vince. She always seemed to be following him around. Didn't think she'd still be hung up on him after all this time."

"Really? That's some spicy news! It's no surprise the sisters are at odds, though I never guessed a man would be the cause. That's quite amusing!"

"Sibling rivalry, truly the worst! But since K is involved, I'm curious about who the real outsider is. My bet's on Rosanna. Honestly, I believe K is blameless!"

"What a way to start the day - with such entertainment drama! Sibling rivalries and love triangles, how thrilling. Anyone with more gossip, come forth and share!"

However, among these remarks, some were noticeably repetitive, hinting at orchestrated drama.

"So what if Maia is a K? Having talent doesn't equate to good character. Her actions, stealing Rosanna's fiancé, are simply uncultured and unethical! I strongly recommend banning Maia from the industry!"

"Everyone knew about Maia's crush on Vince. Having been walked over for years, is she finally getting her moment? Vince, how could you change your heart at such a moment? Have you ever considered your fiancée Rosanna's feelings?"

"Poor Rosanna! Her own sister is stealing her fiancé, and what is she supposed to do? Maia is bullying her, thinking she can do anything just because she is K. She is taking away both her career and her love life!"

Meanwhile, some marketing accounts began spreading a heavily edited video using an old photo of Maia and Vince taken four years ago, complete with tear-jerking background music.

They spun the story to make Maia seem like a desperate, lovesick woman.

While Maia was still staring at the flood of gossip, Pattie's name flashed on her screen. When she answered, the panic in her voice was clear. "Maia, things are…"
