Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 668: She had already accepted payment from Richard and needed to deliver exactly what he wanted. With the live broadcast running and so many people watching, she knew she couldn't back out now. Trying to regain control, the hostess edged forward. "What happened after that? Please, just say it plainly. I really don't know the answer." Drawing in a long breath, the middle-aged prisoner stared at the hostess with a strange look. "There is no need for more questions. Maia ended up taking one beating after another! To put it simply, just about everyone in Wront Prison joined in.

If the guards hadn't shown up every time, Maia probably wouldn't have survived!" Shock flashed in the hostess's eyes. She did not like how the prisoner was acting, but she forced herself to stay calm to finish what she had started. Trying to steer the conversation, the hostess said carefully, "Ma'am, I hear what you're saying. Let me put it another way. You're telling us Maia started trouble on her first day, which led to her being targeted and nearly beaten to death by the other inmates.

Is that right?" While handing the question back, the hostess kept shooting meaningful glances at the prisoner, hoping she would get the hint and play along. Still, the prisoner refused to cooperate. Looking at the hostess with clear irritation, she said, "Do you even know how to do your job? I've explained this already." With a sharp, sarcastic tone, the prisoner added, "Who gets beaten up and doesn't defend themselves? Maia was attacked. She was the one who got hurt, not the troublemaker.

How could you twist it like that?" Suddenly, she lifted both hands and took hold of the microphone, holding it tightly enough that the hostess could not pull it away.

Who could she possibly beat in a fight? I honestly feared for her life every time something happened, but somehow she survived. She never backed down or gave in to threats!

Out of everyone I've met, she's the toughest person by far!" As she heard those words, the host's face lost all color. A heavy silence fell over the entire product launch conference. For a moment, comments online came to a stop. Then, they flooded in even faster. "How is Richard calling this causing trouble?" "That's clearly blaming the victim!" "The main thing is Maia kept saying she didn't steal anything. Is there a chance she's innocent?" . . .
