Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 649: This would show everyone that her loss wasn't to Maia's talent, but to stolen designs presented as originals. Without hesitation, Mariana reached out to her network of online influencers, urging them to release footage from the banquet and ignite public outrage, pushing MCN to hand Aurora Apparel Company back to her. Such a strategy would surely change the entire game. A cold certainty laced Mariana's words as she muttered, "Maia, this is your downfall - a total and utter defeat." Soon, Maia would stand on the losing end of everything she had tried to take.

The thought of Chris turning his back on Maia forever sent a rush of satisfaction through Mariana's veins. "Chris, you're meant to be mine - and only mine," she whispered, a glint of triumph in her eyes. At 2 PM, the Lark Fashion venue pulsed with anticipation as their new product launch drew near. With barely thirty minutes until showtime, the hall brimmed with eager faces, every seat claimed by the growing crowd. At the venue's heart stretched an imposing stage, its T-shaped runway where models would soon bring the latest designs to life.

Behind the catwalk, a massive electronic screen ensured that even the back rows would catch every detail of the unfolding show. Major media outlets had claimed the coveted front rows, photographers bent over their equipment like seasoned hunters preparing for the perfect shot. Meanwhile, independent journalists and online influencers jostled for position, erecting tripods in neat rows as they launched into eager live coverage of the grand spectacle. In streaming chat rooms, comments flew across screens in rapid succession.

"This launch could rival the grandest international fashion weeks!" Ltєѕτ cнαρτєrs ιn glovєls.oм "Since when has Lark Fashion commanded this level of production? The fact that a single product launch drew this media frenzy is staggering." "Nearly every major outlet showed up today. This kind of spectacle must have cost a fortune." "With production values this high, are we watching a public challenge to MCN play out before a national audience?" Indeed, Lark Fashion's new product launch today had captured everyone's attention, leaving competitors nursing their envy from the sidelines.

Near the venue's back, several rival CEOs whispered among themselves, acknowledging Larkin's shrewd maneuvering as he'd managed to eclipse Maia during her peak popularity, stealing her thunder with ruthless precision. "You must give Larkin credit. The man possesses an instinct for striking at precisely the right moment. He leveraged Maia's popularity to infiltrate the scene, then crushed it beneath his heel, claiming both monumental success and universal acclaim." "Absolutely. Despite his advancing years, his strategic mind remains razor-sharp. Though I'll admit, fortune smiled upon him here.

Discovering Maia's theft of Alice's designs at this pivotal moment was nothing short of providential. Without this scandal as his springboard, Lark Fashion would have remained invisible." . . .
