Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 673: Realizing that the interview was taking a turn she hadn't expected, the hostess pressed a hand to her forehead. She wanted to wrap things up right there, but the guards reminded her firmly, "The prisoners are already here. Please continue." With no other choice, the hostess moved on to the next person. The fourth inmate jumped right in, "Maia was always thoughtful. Honestly, she was the one who volunteered for every backbreaking job in here, never once complaining.

She wasn't even twenty at that time, but she outworked half the adults, and not once did I see her break down." Those heartfelt words left many in the audience dabbing at their eyes. Maia had been through more than anyone her age should ever have to bear. Next, the fifth prisoner spoke up, her voice tinged with nostalgia. "You know, Maia was passionate about drawing and making clothes. Her sketches were a hit among all of us. We used to joke that if we ever got out, we'd all wear whatever she designed. Turns out, she really did become a designer!

I've heard she's doing pretty well, but I'm still behind bars and don't know how she is doing now. What I do know is everyone in here still misses her." By the end of it, the hostess was left questioning her own choices, completely thrown off by the unexpected direction of the interview. Frozen in front of the camera, she realized that everything unfolding before her eyes was nothing like what Richard had promised. Only now did it hit her that Richard had set her up from the very beginning! To make matters worse, this humiliation was happening live. She was afraid that her future was ruined.

Meanwhile, another tidal wave of comments surged across the screen. "Did you hear that? Maia was designing clothes in prison! She's got real talent!" "I couldn't stop laughing earlier, but now all I want to do is cry and give Maia a hug." "It all makes sense now. After surviving so much, what could possibly shake Maia anymore?" "From now on, Maia's my inspiration. She's the only idol I need!" Just then, the prison broadcast cut to something new-a guard in full uniform walked up to the camera, holding a thick record book. Spotting the guard, Richard tried desperately to calm himself.

Over and over, he reassured himself that Maia must have bribed those inmates. Find the magic on gⱯlnσνs․ It seemed that Shiloh wasn't as formidable as he thought, unable to control the prisoners. Given that Shiloh had only taken over Wront Prison less than a year ago, maybe it was understandable. Still, Richard clung to one thought: there's no way Maia could have bribed an official guard. That brought a flicker of hope to Richard as he seized his chance to speak up. "Don't be fooled, everyone! Who knows if these prisoners were bribed or threatened by Maia? But prison records don't lie!

If Maia really got into fights or stole things, it'll be written down right here!" . . .
