Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 678: Cameras spun toward her at once, every lens capturing her words. Rosanna marched toward the center of the stage, her movements sharp and restless. Her expression brimmed with bitterness and rage. She had come here in disguise, sneaking past everyone-all for the satisfaction of watching Maia crumble beneath the weight of public judgment. This seemed to be the only way to save herself from sinking deeper into desperation. Rosanna's voice rang out again, louder this time. "So, everyone, don't fall for Maia's act!

She's always been the most manipulative, spiteful woman I've ever known!" It was as if she had finally found the perfect place to unload everything she had bottled up.

Rosanna's eyes were bloodshot now, her whole body trembling as she nearly screamed into the mic. "Even if everyone laughs at me for saying this-I want the world to know who Maia really is!" Chaos broke out again. The audience was shaken, some whispering, some too stunned to speak.
