Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 560: So she added, "Maia didn't force me, but she slipped something into my drink and let Mr. Nelson..." Claudius, who had been leaning against the doorframe watching the chaos unfold, suddenly straightened up and said sharply, "Rosanna, you're blaming Maia for drugging you? Have you got any proof? Without proof, you're just throwing mud - and that's slander. You could end up behind bars if she decided to sue you." Rosanna froze, stunned that the flawless plan she and Mariana devised against Maia had backfired, leaving her unable to defend herself.

She gripped the bedsheet tightly, a sudden thought flashing through her mind. She pointed at Axell, who was calmly smoking in a chair, and yelled, "It has to be him!" "And Maia working together to trap me!" "Bullshit!" Axell crushed his cigarette under his fingers, shooting Rosanna a hard glare. She was aware that this whole mess had been Rosanna and Mariana's doing, and now she wanted to pin it on him? No way! He glanced toward Mariana but quickly backed down at the icy look she gave him. Axell knew better than to cross the Cooper Group.

He jabbed a finger at Rosanna and spat, "You seduced me, then tried to flip the script and pin everything on me?" Rosanna's face drained of color as she shot back nervously, "That's a lie. When did I ever seduce you?" Axell scoffed and flashed his phone screen, saying, "Wasn't it you who messaged me to come to the guest room?" Everyone leaned in to see, and sure enough, the message had come from Rosanna. "You..." Rosanna was at a loss for words. : g⍺ν⧽ⅽ She had texted him just because she had drugged Maia and brought her into this room, thinking that it was time to let Axell come over.

But now, that message made it look like she seduced him. That caught her completely off guard. Rosanna found herself at a loss for words, tears streaming down her face once more. "It really was Maia who set me up... Dad, you have to believe me." The guests thought they had just witnessed quite the drama. Mariana's face stayed hard and cold. To her, this was a battle between lowlifes; whether it was Rosanna or Axell, they were nothing but pawns. As long as they didn't drag her into their mess, Mariana knew that she was in the clear.

Claudius, hearing Rosanna's endless blaming of Maia, felt his disgust toward her hit rock bottom. He warned sharply, "If you can't show proof, quit throwing around lies or I'll have the cops come take you away." Claudius' words hit home with many who were there. They had all come for Maia tonight. Because of that, they all disliked the Morgan family. Besides, what reason would Maia have to set Rosanna up? Given Maia's standing and the shadowy ally behind her, she could have anything she wished for. "Rosanna was acting wild, lashing out at Maia." "She was just like Axell.

Bold enough to cause trouble but never willing to face the consequences, and even trying to blame others. Absolutely shameful." "Rosanna, if you say Maia did it, then how do you explain losing control in that intimate moment when she wasn't even around?" Those young women jumped on Claudius' side, eagerly piling on to bash Rosanna for her shameless behavior. "Didn't she have Axell pour a hundred million into the Morgan family? She sold herself out and still pretends to be innocent!" "The proof is right under our noses, yet she tries to smear Maia. No wonder Maia cut ties with the Morgans.

Rosanna's clearly a repeat offender. Otherwise, how could she lie with such ease?" "Exactly. I've caught wind that Maia's jail time back then was fishy, maybe even Rosanna's doing." . . .
