Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 270: The real action was just around the corner.

After getting the dress from Mariana, Rosanna wasted no time showing it off on Twitter, her words oozing with pride. "I finally got my hands on the MCN high-end custom dress I've always wanted. I'm in love with it! I can't wait to wear it at my engagement party. I'll be the most stunning bride. Huge thanks to Mariana for making my dream come true with this gift. @NeverTipsyMa1iana."

Mariana quickly responded to the post, "Rosanna, only MCN's high-end custom pieces can match your beauty. Congrats on your engagement - wishing you all the happiness in the world!"

The post sparked an instant frenzy among fans. The comments section quickly filled with compliments and admiration.

"Wow, MCN high-end custom! That's the ultimate mark of elite status!"

"I can't even imagine owning one. Rosanna is going to look absolutely stunning and so elegant in it!"

"Mariana? The woman from the Cooper family in Wront? Oh my gosh, she's treating Rosanna like she's part of the family - how close must they be?"

"This is what separates the social circles. Rosanna is about to become a wealthy socialite, rubbing elbows with a whole different class of people. Unlike some, no matter how good she is at writing songs, who cares? She's still just another person in the entertainment business - someone the real elites would never even give a second glance."

"Vince has such great taste. Rosanna was born to be a wealthy socialite! Some people might envy her, but it's pointless. Remember that scandal from before? I think someone was deliberately clinging to Vince, trying to ruin his relationship with Rosanna. Too bad, it didn't work."

"I wonder if that person will show up at Rosanna's engagement party. Probably skulking in some corner, drowning in misery. Just imagining it is hilarious!"

The comments were filled with subtle digs at Maia, tearing her down while boosting Rosanna.

#RosannaMCNEngagementDress shot up the trending charts in no time. The post quickly grabbed the attention of many high-society figures. Some were impressed, while others seethed with envy.

Even onlookers could see that Rosanna wasn't just marrying into money; she was also getting support from Mariana, a member of Wront's top family - the Coopers. It was as if Rosanna was making the leap from ordinary to extraordinary.

From that moment, Rosanna became part of the elite crowd. Maia couldn't hold a candle to her anymore.

At the Ward Group headquarters, inside the CEO's office, Vince rubbed his temples, looking frustrated.

The pullback of investments from Sundara had pushed him to take out loans from the bank.

But today, the bank had also lowered the credit limit for Ward Group.

In other words, the funding issue was still hanging over his head. To make matters worse, his secretary still hadn't found any useful information, leaving Vince completely stumped.

The image of that man's cold, murderous stare flashed in Vince's mind once again.

Vince knew that he couldn't just sit around anymore. Even if he was wrong about his suspicions, he had to look into it himself.

He tried reaching Maia, but it seemed like she had blocked his number - his call wouldn't go through.

With no other options, Vince borrowed a phone to call her. "Maia, it's me. Please don't hang up! I have something really important to talk about. Can we meet? This is someone else's phone, and it's not ideal to talk like this."

The line went silent, leaving Vince on edge. After a few moments, Maia's calm voice finally came through. "An hour from now, at Nova Café."
