Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 234: Chris gripped his fists tightly. No matter how composed he tried to look, as a man, how could he stand by while his wife secretly met another man? His face darkened, a storm brewing just below the surface.

After a brief pause, he grabbed his phone and dialed Maxwell. "Do whatever it takes to keep Vince at home today."

Maxwell's brow furrowed in confusion.

Meanwhile, over at the Morgan family estate, Rosanna had recently gotten out of bed, her eyes puffy and bloodshot. She glared at her reflection in the mirror, cursing Maia for everything. Her phone had been buzzing relentlessly.

She took a deep breath and gathered the strength to unlock it.

The internet was swarming with all sorts of cruel comments.

Rosanna was no stranger to this, but when she saw the headline, "Maia Watson and Vince Ward Spotted in Secret Meeting, Stirring Rumors of a Rekindled Romance," she went completely still, as if time itself had come to a halt.

Her eyes immediately filled with tears, turning bright red.

Her breath came in sharp, ragged gasps.

Her nails nearly broke through her palms as her face twisted in anger. Maia!

So, Vince's so-called urgent matter yesterday was just a lie to sneak off and see Maia!

It was clear now that Vince still had feelings for her.

The photos in the news showed them standing so close together.

Rosanna dropped to the floor, laughing hysterically.

Tears streamed down her face, one after the other, splashing onto her phone screen.

In the comments, many people were taking Maia's side.

"Maybe Vince has always been in love with Maia. But when it turned out she was the fake daughter, the Morgans and Wards had to swap her out for Rosanna. Still, Maia's the one Vince truly loves, so are they defying the arranged marriage now? This is true love!"

"Rosanna is obviously just an outsider here. She needs to get out of the way. A loveless marriage is a graveyard. Even if she marries into the Ward family, she'll never win Vince's heart."

"I've double-checked with local sources - Maia has always been madly in love with Vince! The Morgan family was heartless to tear them apart just because Maia…"

The daughter they raised for seventeen years wasn't their biological child. But guess what? The two of them never really moved on from each other!"

"What a heartbreaking love story. I really hope Maia and Vince can finally be together."

Rosanna read these comments, biting her lip so hard that it started to bleed.

Her hands shook violently, unable to process what she was seeing.

She inhaled deeply, trying to bottle up her emotions.

A wild grin slowly spread across her face.
