Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase

Chapter 869:

A growing number of passersby began to notice Vince, their whispers spreading quickly.

“Hey, isn’t that Vince Ward? He’s the Ward family’s next in line. What on earth is he doing?”

“That’s Maia Watson, right? Unbelievable. She’s the one who turned heads at Sceibar’s big art show!”

“Who’s that man next to her? He looks like her bodyguard. No wonder people say there’s something going on with them.”

“Is Vince trying to win back Maia? This is better than a TV drama — I have to tell everyone about this!”

Just as Vince expected, the onlookers eagerly drank in every detail, their excitement mounting. From their vantage points, none could see the danger concealed beneath his jacket. Only those standing directly in front of him caught the faintest glimpse of the threat, while everyone else remained oblivious.

Every gesture Vince made revealed the twisted performance he had staged — a spectacle for the crowd, masking the terrifying precision with which he threatened Maia and Chris.
