Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 276: The livestream went wild, flooding with comments.

"Miss Morgan is just too generous!"

"After everything she's been through, she still calls Maia her sister? I'm honestly in tears!"

"Maia doesn't even deserve to be related to Rosanna!" "Forget it. Maia's not showing up. She's probably too envious to come!"

Rosanna blinked, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

The moment stirred emotions in everyone, both at the event and online.

Rosanna's voice wavered with a touch of vulnerability. "There's been a lot of miscommunication between my sister and me. I want to use this moment to make things right. If she doesn't show up, I'll keep waiting. In my heart, she's still important, and my engagement party will be incomplete if she's absent."

The guests were clearly touched, showering Rosanna with praise for her kindness and generosity.

Sandra, on the other hand, had no plans to let Maia show up. She quickly signaled for Jarrod to step in and convince Rosanna to stop waiting.

Jarrod approached Rosanna and spoke gently. "Rosanna, let's stop waiting now, alright? You still see her as your sister, but she doesn't. She's no longer a part of our family. You look stunning today, and you're about to marry the man Maia once loved. If Maia shows up, it'll just make things awkward for her."

Sandra added, her tone thick with sarcasm, "Even if Maia were cheeky enough, she wouldn't dare show up today. What could she possibly do? Make a complete fool of herself?"

Richard, now more calm, stepped closer and gave Rosanna's hand a reassuring pat. "Rosanna, don't stress. Whether Maia shows up or not doesn't matter. Tonight is all about you. Everyone's here for you."

"There's no reason to wait," Vince said, his voice gentle as he looked at Rosanna. "No matter what happens, it won't change our happiness. Rosanna, let's not keep everyone hanging too long, okay?"

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????????????????????.????????????

Rosanna looked down, but inside, she couldn't help but smirk coldly.

What a shame if Maia didn't show up. She had been looking forward to humiliating Maia in front of everyone. Everyone urged Rosanna to act, and after a moment of hesitation, she finally gave a reluctant nod.

Rosanna raised her head, took a long breath, and swapped her uncertainty for a broad, generous smile. "Okay, enough waiting. Let's get started," she said.

With that, she wrapped her arm around Vince's and they made their way to the stage.

Suddenly, a clear, cold voice rang out across the banquet hall.

"Rosanna, were you waiting for me?"

Everyone in the room turned in stunned unison toward the entrance.

It was Maia.

She had shown up.

Maia wore a gown that sparkled like stars, so magical it felt like she was walking straight out of a dream.

The sleek cut of her dress, the shimmering fabric that caught the light, made her shine brighter than any star in the sky. She was breathtaking.

A hush fell over the entire room. Maia had actually come. The livestream audience sat up, their attention fixed on Maia.

Her gown was beyond belief.

Up until then, everyone had believed Rosanna's custom MCN couture was the highlight of the evening. But now, standing next to Maia, Rosanna's dress seemed dull in comparison.
