Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase

Chapter 49:

Rosanna intended to shatter Maia’s image in front of everyone, exposing her as nothing more than a homewrecker with a messy, scandalous personal life.

Maia stared at the screen, Rosanna’s words echoing in her mind.

Hadn’t Rosanna thrown that bracelet away? How would she know where it was?

Was she bluffing?

While Maia stood there weighing the possibility, her phone rang again. The moment she saw the name, she picked up without hesitation. “Did you find what I asked for?”noveldrama

The voice on the other end sounded sluggish. “Boss, I checked the waste processing logs from Elysium Apartments, four years back. Nothing came up. That item doesn’t exist.”

Maia froze, stunned.

Could Rosanna have kept Vicki’s bracelet all this time? Was it still in her possession?

As she lowered the phone, a cold smile crept across Maia’s lips. It looked like there was no avoiding that dinner tonight.

7:00 PM

At the Morgan family villa.

Vince arrived precisely on time.

Clad in a crisp white designer suit, he looked every inch the modern-day prince, as though he’d stepped straight out of a movie.

Rosanna, in a soft pink gown with her hair styled to perfection, resembled a princess. She wore an innocent expression and displayed impeccable manners, embodying the role flawlessly.

Seeing Vince today made Rosanna’s heart race. In her world, Vince was the most handsome and competent man she knew, and this perfect man was going to be her husband. The thought filled her with a sense of pride.

Rosanna looped her arm through Vince’s and cooed, “Vince, you’re here.”

Vince smiled indulgently, nodded, and followed her into the living room. Sandra, beaming warmly, was the first to greet him. “Vince, come sit down. Dinner will be ready shortly.”

“Thank you, Sandra,” Vince replied politely, his manners perfect as always. With each passing moment, it was clear that Sandra was growing more fond of her future son-in-law.

Richard emerged from his room just then. He spotted Vince, walked over, and engaged in light conversation.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, dinner was ready, and everyone made their way to the dining room to take their seats.

Jarrod sauntered in, a casual air about him, draping an arm over Vince’s shoulder with a smirk. “I’m trusting you with my sister. Be good to her.”

Vince, caught off guard, glanced at Rosanna.

Rosanna, noticing his look, lowered her head, a soft blush creeping across her face.

Sandra’s soft chuckle broke the tension. “Vince,” she said, her voice smooth, “the reason we asked you here tonight is to talk about your marriage to Rosanna. What’s your take? Don’t you think it’s time to settle on an engagement date?”

Rosanna had simply mentioned inviting Vince over for dinner. She hadn’t said much else about the real purpose of the gathering. Now, Vince was starting to connect the dots.

A faint smile crossed his face. “Well, about that—”

Before he could finish, Tricia’s voice rang out from the hallway, laced with surprise. “Miss Watson? You… you came!” The room stilled in an instant.
