?Chapter 188:


    They hurriedly released an official statement: “Maia Watson has not registered for The Voice of Zephyria. Please avoid spreading false information.”


    The statement reignited the public debate, with the tide turning almost instantly against Maia.


    Fans of Rosanna finally found a reason to celebrate, channeling their fervor throughments about Maia. Facebook was bombarded with caustic remarks overnight.


    “Look at her, showing off as if she’s apetitor. Turns out, the organizers gave Maia Watson the cold shoulder. She’s utterly shameless, trying to capitalize on a fleeting moment of fame!”


    “Rosanna has truly earned her stripes with multiple viral hits that resonate with students across various social tforms. And what about Maia Watson? A four-year stint in prison doesn’t equate to a degree from a music academy.”


    “The organizer’s official statement really hit the spot. We can’t allow just anyone to stir up trouble here. Why is Maia Watson staying silent?”


    Theizens kept tagging her.


    “Let’s face it, perhaps we’ve all been duped by Maia, unfairly targeting Rosanna. Now it’s clear for all to see, isn’t it? Maia is nothing but a fabricator; nothing she ims holds any truth.”


    “Didn’t Maia threaten to sue us? Why no legal action yet? Is her threat as hollow as her supposedpetition entry? Fresh out of jail, can she even handle the legal expenses?”


    “That’s exactly my point. The supposedwsuit is likely just a spectacle. It’ll be forgotten soon. How could Maia possibly afford the costs of a firm like Zenith Legal?”


    “But remember, she was once connected to the Morgan family. Perhaps they’ve resolved it quietly, given it’s a family issue. Let’s not fuss over it too much.”

    “I just think she is really pushing her luck. Why did she insist that she was listed among the contestants when she wasn’t? You’re caught in your own lies, Maia Watson!”


    It seemed as though thoseizens had no recollection at all. They convinced themselves that Maia would not take legal action.


    Maia didn’t bother to respond. She decided to watch how things would unfold for a while.


    Pattie, however, called her. Despite being in Varninski, she was closely following Maia’s online drama.


    “Are you seriously nning topete in the singing contest?”


    Maia answered, “Why would I lie about that?”


    Pattie’s excitement surged. Unfazed by the online noise, she dered, “That’s fantastic! I’m booking my flight right now toe and support you.”


    Maia pulled the phone slightly away from her ear. “Just take a moment to breathe…”


    Pattie’sughter rang through the phone. “I can’t wait to see you silence all the doubters!”


    At that, Maia was left speechless.


    Vince couldn’t help but smile when he noticed the official statement from The Voice of Zephyria on their page.


    “Maia, you’ve truly made a mess of things this time.”


    He was puzzled as to why Maia would falsely im she was participating in The Voice of Zephyria, but regardless, the unfolding events were ying right into his hands.


    Lighting a cigar, Vince inhaled deeply before making a phone call to Rosanna.
