Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 284: He turned around, his eyes filled with turbulent emotions as he glanced at Rosanna, who clung to him desperately. Gently, he brushed her hand away. "I'll return after settling things with Maia."

With that, he left quickly under the watchful eyes of everyone in the hall. The silence was deafening. The only sound that remained was Rosanna's broken sobs echoing through the vast room.

Her body trembled before she collapsed to her knees with a dull thud. Guests widened their eyes in astonishment, barely able to process what had just happened. Vince had abandoned Rosanna for Maia - during the engagement party!

Rosanna, once the darling of the evening, now found herself the object of ridicule. Simultaneously, the livestream comment section exploded with outrage.

"Maia, where's your dignity? Snatching the groom at his engagement party, how shameless can you get?"

"Rosanna's tears are heartbreaking, and Maia lured Vince away on purpose. Is she trying to ruin everything?"

"Vince is absolute trash! Rosanna poured her heart into organizing this ceremony, and he just vanishes without a second thought. His morals are disgusting!"

"Maia shouldn't have shown up at the engagement party. That wicked woman should disappear from the entertainment business forever."

Rosanna's supporters found it impossible to accept such betrayal. They flooded Facebook with accusations against Maia, exposing her wrongdoings.

Within minutes, hashtags like "Maia Sabotages Engagement", "Vince Backstabs Rosanna", and "The Ultimate Homewrecker, Maia" rocketed to the top of search trends, as furious posts filled the internet.

At the reception, conversations buzzed intensely. The Morgans' expressions were dark and tight. The Wards quickly dispatched staff to track Vince down, promising attendees that he would return shortly. The atmosphere spiraled into disorder.

Elsewhere, Vince bolted from the event hall, scanning for Maia but failing to locate her. He immediately punched in her number.

"Where are you, Maia?"

"Room 508, hotel side."

Moments later, Vince reached the designated suite. Knock. Knock…

He lifted his hand and rapped on the door.

Seconds later, it swung open.

Maia appeared, her face expressionless.

Without hesitation, Vince barged in, kicking the door shut behind him. Back in the ballroom, the giant LED display suddenly glitched, then lit up.

A live feed of Maia's hotel suite filled the giant screen. Gasps erupted as all heads swiveled toward the broadcast. Online viewers were stunned as the stream shifted from the reception to the hotel suite.

The visuals were crystal clear, capturing Vince's frantic energy and even picking up his heavy breaths.

"What's happening? What is this?"

"Hold on… isn't that Vince?"

"Wait, that looks like a hotel room! How is this being filmed? What's going on?"

The Morgans gawked at the footage, utterly frozen. Rosanna's eyes widened, her lips parting slightly in a tremble.

On screen, Vince inched closer to Maia in the hotel room. The Ward family continued their desperate attempts to reach him, but Vince ignored every call, even switching off his device in plain view of the livestream.
