?Chapter 1123:


    “Some heroine she is. Even if they aren’t her real parents, the least she could do is show up after what happened.”


    “Still no word from her? A daughter in name only, that’s all she is.”


    “Ethan, please, calm down,” Mnie said, her voice tinged with worry. “You’ve only just gotten better. Don’t let yourself be rattled by this. Those posts could easily be trolls Rosanna paid off. Stop scrolling, and don’t take any of it to heart.”


    Over at Elysium Apartments, Chris slipped off his apron and admired the spread of food he had prepared, satisfaction softening his features.


    “Maia should be on her way back. I really hope these dishes make her happy.”


    A nce at the clock made him reach for his phone, nning to check how close Maia was.


    Before he could dial, a private message from Winters appeared on his screen.


    “Ethan?”


    Chris narrowed his eyes, puzzled about why Ethan would choose to reach out at this moment.


    Winters sent, “Look at Rosanna’s posts online. She is dragging Maia’s name through the mud.”


    Just as Chris was about to open the page, another notification appeared.


    Winters added, “I can’t make sense of this. What does the Morgan family’s scandal have to do with my sister? Why are people twisting the story? Do they not remember what the Morgan family has done to Maia—ruined her name, and even had her locked away?”<fn62a9> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? find?novel</fn62a9>


    Reading the second message gave Chris enough rity, even though he had not yetid eyes on the vicious remarks.


    He already picked up on Ethan’s rising fear, his fury, and his deep confusion.


    It was clear that things were spiraling out of control.


    Since Ethan had only just regained his health, Chris worried that this matter would push him right back to the hospital. He wasted no time and fired off a private reply.


    Soon, Ethan received a reply from Justiceze. “Rx for now. I haven’t looked at Rosanna’s posts or thements yet, but there’s one thing I can say without a doubt: Maia didn’t do anything wrong.”

    Inside the hospital room, Ethan exhaled slowly, the tension in his chest easing as he read the words from his idol, Justiceze.


    Those words rang true… Maia carried no me. The cruel remarks online had only clouded his judgment.


    As Maia’s brother, he should have recognized her innocence from the beginning.


    Still, Justiceze never once wavered. He stood by Maia every time, convinced of her integrity.


    While Ethan’s thoughts were settling, his phone buzzed with another message from Justiceze. “Forget the noise and focus on your recovery. I’ll handle everything else.”


    The reassurance in those words felt like a weight lifting off his shoulders.


    At that moment, Ethan spotted a new update from Justiceze on Twitter. “No one should resort to emotional maniption. These tragedies are unfortunate, but let me ask this: What do they have to do with Maia? The Morgan family already severed ties with her long ago.”
