Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase

Chapter 464:

“Oh goodness, my mind’s like a sieve. She actually left earlier this morning. I’m terribly sorry you waited all this time for nothing.”

“No worries at all. It’s always nice dropping by to see you and your husband too. About that mess the other day — I take full responsibility. I really hope you’ll let it go.”

Vince carefully placed the expensive presents he’d picked out on the table. Sandra gave them a quick once-over, instantly recognizing their worth. A warm smile spread across her face.

Not too long after Vince had gone, Rosanna returned home. The moment she stepped inside, her eyes landed on a stack of fancy packages near the entrance — some were limited-edition sets from brands she adored.

“Mom, what’s all this stuff?” she asked, clearly confused.noveldrama

Sandra, looking rather pleased with herself, said, “Who else would it be? Vince dropped them off — for you!”

Rosanna blinked in surprise. Vince? He’d come all the way here just to see her? And brought all these gifts, too. It sure seemed like he was trying to make amends.

The idea slowly curled her lips into a satisfied smile, and a wave of calm washed over her.

It seemed that Vince still couldn’t let her go and had finally realized her worth.

Maia didn’t hold a candle to her. Even though she had her eyes set on someone new, if things didn’t work out with Claudius, she could always fall back on the Wards. That meant she had to keep Vince hooked until everything was sorted out.

She fired off a quick message, saying that she loved the gifts and thought it was sweet of him.

After mulling it over for a bit, she decided to invite Vince to her birthday celebration as well.

The following morning, Claudius walked into the office with a spring in his step. He had officially taken the reins of the Cooper Group’s main business sectors. Now, he had his sights set on even bigger ventures and loftier achievements. The gaming world looked like the ideal direction. That market was on the brink of a massive boom.

Lately, just about everyone he knew had been hooked on a new game that had popped up out of nowhere. In under two weeks since its release, the game had shot straight to the top of the download rankings.

Claudius had spotted its potential right off the bat. The arrival of the game — Genius — had the potential to shake up the entire gaming scene. Down the line, it was sure to be a goldmine.

Claudius summoned his assistant and asked, “Did we lock in the deal to host the offline tournament in Wront?”

“The gaming firm just submitted their progress update. Everything’s confirmed, and the paperwork will be signed today,” the assistant replied politely. “Mr. Alan Lopez wants to know — should we use the sports center or the tech museum as the venue?”

“Excellent. We’ll go with the tech museum,” Claudius said, lacing his fingers together with a thoughtful look. “Tell Mr. Lopez this event needs to be big — eye-catching. We want the developers and producers to know we’re serious. It’s also the perfect chance to boost our brand in the gaming world.”

The assistant gave a quick nod. “Got it. I’ll get in touch with Mr. Lopez right away.”

Claudius suddenly stopped him. “Hold on. Since our gaming branch is running this event, I ought to show some backing myself. Spread the news — the Cooper Group’s tossing in a bonus cash prize!”

“Understood, sir.”
