The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105 Forgot Already

After everything settled, Maren felt entirely relaxed as she got ready to leave.

On the other hand, Ashton and his sons stood crushed under the weight of their defeat.

When Ashton saw Maren leaving, he hurriedly moved to intercept her. “You won the bet, Maren. That proved a lot. You’ve grown, and I’ve returned the shares to you. But let’s be real. Running a business is something else entirely. You’ve still got a lot to learn about how things work in the corporate world. So here’s what I’m thinking. I’ll keep managing the company for now. Meanwhile, you can join an executive program at Baimsa Royal Trinity. Once you finish, you come back and take the reins. How does that sound?”

Ashton spoke convincingly, disguising his desperation behind a veil of fatherly concern, though in reality, he couldn’t bear giving up power and luxury.

He imagined Maren still relied on him in some way.

Ashton believed she feared losing her mother’s legacy because of her own incompetence.

He had spent years running Morgan Group smoothly. Who else would she possibly trust more?

“I won’t trouble you with that, Dad. I’ve got someone in mind already.”

Ashton stood speechless, shocked by her dismissive response.

He swallowed, then forced himself to speak again. “Maren, listen carefully. What happens if some shady character manipulates your lack of experience?”

“I doubt anyone could be shadier than you.” Maren nearly laughed at Ashton’s ironic display of concern. “Well, that’s settled then. Oh, one last thing: our current villa belongs to me now. Please make arrangements to move

out soon.”

With that, she turned and left the office.

Her grandfather had originally purchased the villa, which passed naturally from her mother to her following her mother’s death.

“But where do you expect us to stay?” Ashton asked anxiously.

Maren didn’t even look back. Where they ended up was none of her concern

As Maren walked away without looking back, Ashton’s anger shot through the roof. He was so furious he nearly blacked out. “You ungrateful brat!

“Dad, it’s really not the end of the world. Even if the villa’s off–limits, we still have other places and cars. And we’ve put away a fair bit over the years. Losing the villa won’t ruin us,” Cullum reassured his father.

“Exactly, Dad,” Bobby chimed in confidently. “Maren’s probably betting we’ll crumble, but that’s not happening. I’ve got cash set aside too With your business savvy, Dad, we’ll start fresh–build something better.”

They had grown accustomed to a life of luxury. They owned plenty of assets in their own right, and Ashton had always provided lavish allowances. Pulling together capital wouldn’t be difficult.

“Cullum’s right, Dad. We can do it again—maybe even surpass what we had,” Cullum added.

Their optimism sparked something inside Ashton.

They had a point.

Even without his shares in Morgan Group, they weren’t broke.

There was a time he’d ruled Baimsa without question, untouchable and fierce. Was a fresh start too far out of

reach?

“You’re right. If Maren wants to push us out, we’ll simply bounce back stronger.” Ashton’s confidence returned,

lifted by his sons‘ words.

“Maren doesn’t even know how to handle a small business, let alone Morgan Group. She’ll beg us to return

before long.”

“Absolutely!”

“Exactly!”

Cullum and Bobby echoed enthusiastically, already picturing Maren pleading desperately for their help.

“Excuse me for interrupting your daydreaming session.” Maren suddenly reappeared in the office doorway, having just remembered something she needed to clarify.

“What are you doing here again?” Bobby asked.

“Shouldn’t I be asking you that? You’re standing in my office, and none of you belong in this building anymore,”

Maren replied coolly.

Bobby turned red, unable to utter another word..

“Maren, are you here to beg me to step in? I’ll only help if you share half the company with me,” Ashton said confidently, fully believing Maren had returned in desperation.

He completely misunderstood the situation.

“I’m here because I forgot to mention something important. Cullum, Bobby, your personal assets–including luxury vehicles and homes–amount exactly to eighty–seven thousand. Please transfer ownership to me by midnight. I’ll send people to handle the paperwork.”

Maren directed these instructions specifically to Cullum and Bobby.
