?Chapter 226:


    “Maia Watson Unmasked as the Legendary ‘Masked Singer’ — Zephyria Music Scene’s New Sensation!”


    “Rosanna Morgan Publicly Exposed for Impersonating Maia Watson — Humiliated Before Millions!”


    “Fans Abandon Rosanna Morgan After Embarrassing Public Withdrawal!”


    “Heires Showdown Ends with Maia’s Stunning Victory — Rosanna Left Disgraced!”


    Each word stabbed Sandra like a dagger.


    The articles were devastating, humiliating every member of the Morgan family and shattering their carefully crafted image.


    Their family was once again notorious — but now for all the wrong reasons.


    Richard’s face darkened further with every headline.


    His greatest fear hade true — the Morgan family’s reputation had hit rock bottom again.


    Rosanna and Jarrod had already embarrassed him repeatedly, but those incidents had been manageable.


    This disaster, however, was televised for the entire country and even countless foreign viewers.


    He wanted to reprimand Rosanna, yet seeing her pale, tear-streaked face, he found that he couldn’t bring himself to speak harshly.


    After all, she was his daughter.


    His anger had nowhere to go, smoldering helplessly inside him.


    Sandra continued scrolling, her fury rising uncontrobly.


    gα?ησν????s is where imagination thrives


    Her grip tightened dangerously, and suddenly, the phone slipped from her hand and crashed onto the table with a loud, echoing bang.


    “Maia, that maniptive little snake! She nned all of this to disgrace us! Seventeen years we raised her, and now she repays us by dragging our name through the mud. The whole inte is tearing Rosanna and our family apart, and it’s all because Maia intentionally sabotaged thatpetition!”


    Sandra’s anger intensified with every usation, each word tainted with suspicion toward Maia.


    She abruptly stood, pacing restlessly as she continued her rants. “People online are using us of secretly mistreating Maia, iming we threw her out and never even knew she was K! But in fact, it’s Maia who didn’t want to return to our family. She never told us anything from the start. Is she trying to get revenge on us, nning from the beginning to tarnish our name?”


    Rosanna sat nearby, her eyes swollen and red. As Sandra spoke, Rosanna sensed an opening and seized the chance.


    Lifting her head with tears streaming down her cheeks, Rosanna sobbed emotionally, saying, “Mom, I always hoped Maia still cared, even if she resented me. But now I see the truth — she never considered us family. If she’d just admitted being K, I wouldn’t have panicked today and made such a fool of myself.”


    The painful memory of the talent scout abruptly ignoring her after thepetition flooded her mind, deepening her anguish.


    She continued bitterly, shoulders trembling with each sob, “I worked so hard, spent countless hours practicing every song, just to make you proud. I only wanted to be the daughter you could brag about, not the joke everyone is mocking now. I’m the one who humiliated the Morgan name. It’s all my fault. Maybe you should just send me back to the slums where I belong.”


    Sandra immediately rushed to embrace Rosanna. “Sweetheart, you’re our own flesh and blood. We fought so hard to find you again. How could we ever me you? No matter what happens, we’ll always protect you. There’s no way we’d ever let you suffer that horrible life again.”


    Richard sighed heavily, his previous disappointment overshadowed by guilt and sympathy at Rosanna’s misery.


    Jarrod, seeing Rosanna devastated and ming herself, felt his irritation melt away.
