Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 640: He had tried to erase the trending topic from Twitter, but as soon as one mention disappeared, another appeared just as fast, like someone was pulling strings from the shadows. A sudden thought crossed Chris' mind, and a bitter smile crept across his face as he let out a short, mocking laugh. He powered off his phone, stepped out of his room, and made his way to Maia's door, tapping on it softly. The door swung open right away.

Standing there in silk pajamas that showed off her graceful shape, Maia made Chris stop in his tracks for a split second, and he had to swallow nervously. "Maia, is there anything you need help with?" he asked, keeping his eyes on her calm and gentle expression. Maia walked out into the hallway, grabbed a cup, and filled it with water at the nearby dispenser. She glanced back at Chris, who had quietly followed, and offered him a smile.

"Shouldn't you be asking me whether I actually copied or not?" Chris stood there, surprised for a moment, before his eyes grew serious and he replied, "I trust that you would never copy someone else's work." Chris' earnest expression was mirrored in Maia's clear gaze. Rather than doubt her or question her honesty, he placed his trust in her without hesitation. That kind of faith brought a gentle warmth to Maia's heart. "You don't have to do anything for me. I'll take care of this myself." Maia's eyes grew gentle as she added, "I'm planning to go to Lark Fashion's product launch tomorrow.

That's when the truth will come out." She explained her intentions to Chris, partly to acknowledge his trust and partly to reassure him so he would not worry. Having Chris' confidence in her was all that Maia needed right now. g αℓ ησ ν ℓs․com takes you away In the end, this was something Maia believed only she could set right. Chris, an ordinary chauffeur, could not solve the problem for her even if he wanted to. Besides, no one had uncovered who was really behind Larkin, and Maia preferred to keep Chris out of any trouble. She caught the worry in his eyes and offered a gentle smile.

"Don't let it trouble you. The facts will hold up to any investigation. Just wait - I'll have good news soon." Once back in his room, Chris sat down on his bed, looking thoughtful. Maia's words - "the facts will hold up to any investigation" - kept replaying in his mind. He could tell that her composure had been real, not something she forced. Maybe she already had the perfect plan to prove her innocence. Without warning, his phone buzzed loudly. Chris glanced at the screen. A private message had popped up on Twitter. The user's name read "Winters." Ethan? . . .
