The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 115

Chapter 115 Pull The Trigger

Unbeknownst to them, Wilbur had already determined Maren’s stubborn nature through their previous

encounters. He knew the more he tried to control her, the more she resisted.

Thus, he opted for a softer approach.

Given the current circumstances, where his parents were chastising Maren, Wilbur saw an opportunity to appear as her ally, hoping she would value his support.

“Wilbur, what are you trying to say? Maren is a disaster for our family!” exclaimed Sam.

“Even now, Wilbur is taking your side. You ought to appreciate that, Maren! How can you remain so indifferent?”

Jessi’s frustration with Maren intensified.

Wilbur’s smile broadened; things were unfolding just as he planned.

Surrounded by critics, with only Wilbur in her corner, how could Maren not feel compelled towards him?

Although he felt a secret satisfaction, he maintained his role as the conciliator while his parents scolded Maren.

“Please, Mom, Dad, let’s pause this discussion. I’d like a moment alone with Maren to sort things out. Go rest,

and by tomorrow, Maren will have convinced those gang members to back off.”

Wilbur was defending Maren but also subtly making promises on her behalf to his parents.

He believed that once Maren felt indebted to him, she would naturally align with his suggestions.

This would not only address the issue of the shares but also endear Maren to him since he had publicly

supported her against his parents.

“Do you see that, Maren? Even after everything, Wilbur is still trying to shield you. What more could you possibly want? Taking back those shares is just cold–hearted.”

“You really should heed Wilbur’s advice more often, Maren. Who else would stand by you like he does?”

Sam and Jessi persisted in their criticism.

They had always seen Maren as unfit for their exceptional son. They had only consented to the engagement due

to her shares.

“Enough!” Maren suddenly yelled.

The room fell silent momentarily, but as her words sank in, resentment flared up on every face, especially

Sam’s and Jessi’s.

ungrateful woman, how dare you speak to us that way?” Jessi was in disbelief, shocked by Maren’s

outburst.

Sam’s anger was noticeable. “How dare you raise your voice like that, Maren? Do you think Wilbur’s defense gives you the freedom to disrespect us?”

“Look at her, Wilbur, She shows no gratitude for your protection. How can she be so thankless?” Jessi continued.

“I said, shut up!” Maren’s patience had evaporated under the constant barrage of criticisms. In a swift motion, she drew her gun and pointed it at Jessi and Sam.

“Is she holding a gun?”

Panic spread among everyone present.

“Humph. Who’s to say it’s not a fake?” Jessi tried to cover her fear with bravado. There was no way she’d let

Maren see her flinch.

Maren then aimed her gun upward and released three shots, causing the chandelier above to crash to the floor in pieces.

Screams filled the room.

“This is real! Maren, are you out of your mind?” Jessi yelled, quickly taking cover behind Sam. Accustomed to

a sheltered life, she had never witnessed such violence.

In a shocking turn, Maren redirected the gun at Jessi. “Repeat what you just said. I dare you.” Her voice was chillingly calm, erasing any doubts about her resolve.

Jessi, now facing the barrel of the gun, looked on the verge of fainting.

“No, please… I don’t want to die,” she stammered, visibly shaken.

It was a surprise to everyone, Jessi included, that Maren had taken things so far as, to pull out a firearm. What had driven her to such extremes today?

Even Sam, who had been trying to shield Jessi, felt his legs tremble, his authoritative presence crumbling. “Maren, what are you thinking? Murder is a serious crime. This isn’t something to joke about. Can’t we just talk

this out?”

Facing a loaded gun, most would crumble under the pressure.

“No need for discussions. I’ve made myself clear about reclaiming my shares. Give them to me, or the next shot won’t hit the ceiling,” Maren declared firmly.
