The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116 Twisted The

Truth

Maren didn’t bother wasting words. She raised the gun, her silence speaking volumes.

Sam felt the sting of humiliation wash over him, stripping him of all dignity in an instant.

Though burning with anger, he wisely kept his emotions concealed.

The entire Morgan family stared at Maren, left speechless by shock.

Though Ashton, Cullum, and Bobby had already seen Maren assert her dominance earlier, none had imagined

she could escalate to this level.

Wilbur, who had been pretending to defend Maren, struggled more than anyone to make sense of the scene.

In his eyes, Maren was timid, easily forgotten–nothing like this fierce, confident woman standing before him. Strangely enough, he felt drawn to this new version of her,

Funny how human nature worked. When Maren chased after Wilbur, he didn’t care. But now that she held the

power, he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

“Mom, Dad, we should let this go.” Wilbur knew provoking Maren further would only spell disaster. His best bet was to appeal to her softer side.

He then spoke kindly to Maren. “Maren, please don’t misunderstand. My parents weren’t trying to offend you. It’s just that these shares matter greatly to the Thorpe family. You’ve always been compassionate–I’m sure you

understand.”

“No. Actually, I don’t.”

Wilbur thought his strategy was flawless, unaware that Maren had long ago seen through his facade.

Before he could react, Maren smoothly pointed the gun at him.

Wilbur’s heart jumped into his throat; Sam and Jessi shrieked in panic. “Wilbur!”

Sweat poured down Wilbur’s face instantly.

“May, what are you doing?”

“Wilbur, let me make this clear. Our engagement ended. You’re not someone who deserves me. I’m taking back every single share, no exceptions.”

Maren’s words left no room for argument. She ended whatever hope they were holding on to.

Wilbur stared at her, disbelief evident in his voice. “Maren, you can’t mean that. Those shares mean everything

to my family.”

“And what exactly does your family’s problem have to do with me?” Maren retorted.

How pathetic–only now, when they needed her, did they come begging.

Maren had endured enough of their greed. Without another word, she turned and strode confidently upstairs, leaving everyone downstairs frozen in silence.

After a lengthy pause, Jessi was first to break the tension. “Unbelievable! How dare she wave a gun in our faces?”

Now that Maren was gone, Jessi’s fear instantly turned into fury.

“Ashton, your daughter has gone too far! She’s driving our family to ruin!” Sam bitterly vented his grievances to

Ashton.

Privately, Ashton agreed. Maren hadn’t hesitated even when reclaiming shares from her own father–there was clearly no mercy left in her.

Amidst his anger, Sam struggled to make sense of the drastic change. “But Maren was never this ruthless before.”

He remembered Maren as weak and easily manipulated, which was precisely why they’d dared confront her openly today.

“She must’ve gotten corrupted by that gangster friend of hers!”

Wilbur’s thoughts immediately turned to Sawyer–the man he resented more than anyone.

He vividly remembered Sawyer admitting openly during Maren’s fight with Daniel that he was part of the underworld.

Why else would a criminal like Sawyer bother winning Maren’s favor?

“Gangster? Who?”

Sam and Jessi were utterly confused. Only after Simon’s earlier appearance had they begun piecing together Maren’s underworld connections.

“You might not know, but back when my sister disappeared, criminals abducted her.” Nadia finally spoke, her tone dripping with false sympathy. “Who knows what terrible things she endured? No wonder she changed so

much.”

“Nadia, what the hell are you saying?” Wilbur stepped in fast, trying to cut Nadia off.

Maren had already shut down the idea of anything romantic between her and Simon.

Perhaps Nadia’s accusations were completely baseless.

Nadia’s temper flared the moment/Wilbur stood up for Maren. “Wilbur, have you already forgotten how tight Maren is with that criminal?”

So far, Maren had only admitted to saving Simon. She never said a word about any connection to Sawyer.

Wilbur froze, unable to speak./

His plan had been to face Maren head–on and dig out the truth. He had to know if what Sawyer claimed was actually true.

Although nobody had spelled it out, the implications were unmistakably clear.

The rumors about Maren had circulated relentlessly since her kidnapping years ago.

“Ha! I knew it! She acts fearless because she’s probably sleeping with some thug! That shameless tramp!” Jessi

spat in disgust. “A woman like her will never deserve my son!”

Sam frowned deeply, silently agreeing. The Thorpe family ranked second only to the Morgan family in Baimsa. How could someone like Maren ever marry into their family?

But when he thought about the shares…

For the Thorpe family, those shares were the line between getting by and losing everything.

Wilbur was well aware of his parents‘ concerns, yet he couldn’t move on from Maren just yet.

“Let’s return home for today, Dad, Mom. Maren seems upset. I’ll approach her when things are calmer.”

After all, Maren now held all the cards. With her rumored criminal connections, direct confrontation would be

dangerous.

Sam reluctantly understood this truth:

Ultimately, Wilbur and his parents had no choice but to leave for the time being. Throughout the ride home, Jessi furiously ranted nonstop, cursing Maren with every breath.

The Thorpe family weren’t the only ones leaving.

Nadia left as well.

“Maren, you bitch! I hope you drop dead!”
