Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 773: "We still haven't sorted out the Morgan family, and now Vince decides to show up." Luckily, with the security system and double turnstiles in place, neither he nor the Morgans could make it upstairs. A sharp laugh escaped her lips as she muttered, "Now they regret everything? None of them cared about Maia before, and suddenly they want to make things right? Regret can't undo what they did to her." Picking up the phone, Pattie gave strict instructions to the front desk. "Listen carefully.

No one from the Ward family or the Morgan family is to be allowed into MCN." No sooner had she finished than the receptionist chimed in, "Of course, Ms. Miller. I understand. Just so you know, security just called to say the Morgan family is also downstairs now, right alongside Vince." Pattie's expression soured at the update.

Whether Maia had a husband or not didn't matter to him. What mattered was that he had the means to win her back - even if it meant tearing her marriage apart. Jarrod eventually gave up trying to provoke him. With a scoff, he fell silent and looked away. None of them moved closer. They remained where they were, scattered near the first-floor entrance, unwilling to close the awkward distance.
