?Chapter 854:


    Maia’s global fanbase swelled almost instantly.


    Everywhere online, fans filled forums and social feeds with messages of admiration.


    “Maia is Matias in the flesh! Who could ever doubt her now?”


    “Rebirth and A Mother’s Timeless Love are masterpieces, and nothing else created this century canpare to them!”


    “There will never be another artist like Maia. She’s always the best!”


    Words of praise poured in from every direction, the excitement reaching all the way back to Wront.<fna5a6> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n find?novel</fna5a6>


    The news hit like a bolt of lightning, leaving countless people speechless — especially Vince.


    At the Ward home in Wront, a loud crash echoed when Vince identally let go of his red wine ss.


    Immediately, the ss shattered into countless tiny shards, and the rich red wine slowly soaked into the carpet, spreading out in a growing patch.


    “Maia is in Sceibar? When did she leave? I didn’t even realize…” Vince said, stunned, his eyes widening with surprise. He hadn’t expected Maia to be away from Wronttely.


    He stared at the report about Maia reaching legendary status at the artpetition, feeling a mix of shock and excitement.


    So Maia had slipped away quietly to the international art exhibition in Sceibar? And she’d made such a big ssh!


    She had shot to fame overnight, shaking up the entire art scene like a bolt from the blue.


    “Maia’s amazing! I always knew she could make it big at whatever she set her mind to!”


    ???????????????? ?????????????? ? ?????????????????????????


    Vince’s mouth curled into a grin, unable to hide his admiration. What really made him happy was realizing that Maia hadn’t been ignoring him on purpose, as he once thought.


    In fact, she hadn’t even realized that he had been standing outside the MCN building waiting for her day after day!


    Though it made him chuckle a little, Vince felt hope stir inside him again. Recently, whether the MCN was open or shut, he had shown up at the door without fail, just to catch a glimpse of Maia.


    Still, after waiting ten long days, he had nothing to show for it.


    Vince’s early hope slowly twisted into worry, and before long, it turned into deep despair.


    While waiting outside the MCN building, he often caught harsh words thrown his way from the Morgan family.


    “Isn’t it gross, Vince? It’s because you show up every day that we don’t get to see Maia!”


    “Can’t you just quiting? Don’t you realize you’re hurting Maia?”


    “Please, just stop showing up…”


    Vince rolled his eyes inwardly. The Morgans med him for not seeing Maia? That was absurd!


    Wasn’t it their own past actions that had hurt Maia? Still, why hadn’t Maia appeared even once? He would have settled for just one nce from her.
