Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 664: No sooner had Alice finished speaking than chaos swept through the room, voices colliding in disbelief and excitement. In moments where the truth finally came to light, silence was often the wiser choice, but now there was no turning back. The momentum had shifted for good. All eyes shifted to Larkin, and every face in the crowd brimmed with open ridicule and sneering contempt. Online chatter exploded in response. "Alice just roasted him-every word hit like a hammer!" "I checked out Lark Fashion's new collection, and honestly?

It can't even compare to Maia's sketches from years ago." "I was feeling bad for Lark Fashion, but after all this, they got exactly what they deserved!" "That's it for Larkin. He won't last another day as association president." "Maia should take over the Wront Fashion Association. It's time for Larkin to go!" The atmosphere was filled with insults and shouting, with some furious people even flinging their drinks in Larkin's direction. People nearby didn't hold back their opinions.

"Lark Fashion has no hope after this..." "I thought they'd bounce back with their new line, but it completely backfired and pushed them to the edge of disaster." "Alice is absolutely right. Any business that can't innovate and spends all its energy dragging down rivals will crash eventually." The moment Larkin caught the accusations, his hand flew to his chest, gasping for breath as if the very air had turned against him. galnσνℓs․cøm opens doors to new adventures Desperation filled his voice as he cried out, "It's finished. Everything is ruined." A dull glaze clouded his eyes.

He lurched forward, coming dangerously close to toppling off the stage. No doubt remained-the tide of fortune had completely reversed. Shock had drained all color from Vance's face. It was clear that their family's downfall was now inevitable. Out of nowhere, a cutting voice sliced through the chaos. "Don't let Maia fool you! She's lying to everyone here!" Silence swept across the crowd, heads whipping toward the source. All eyes found Richard. Richard emerged into the spotlight, determined to be heard.

He said, "I can prove Maia is a thief and her reputation is built on lies!" Drawing a deep breath for composure, he strode purposefully toward the stage. Every detail of this moment had been carefully arranged, though he hadn't counted on Larkin's spectacular collapse. It was a relief, at least, to have a fallback plan. Addressing the audience, Richard declared, "After raising Maia for seventeen years, I am certain I know her true nature better than anyone does. She's lied her entire life and has never been one for good morals.

Years ago, Maia stole from Radiant Jewels and ended up behind bars. Even prison didn't teach her a lesson-she kept stirring up trouble and spent more time in solitary than with others. Do you really believe a person like that could ever be trusted in the world of fashion?" Determined to lay out all his accusations while the cameras rolled, Richard pressed on, knowing this was a rare chance with the media watching his every move. . . .
