The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119 He Is Not Worthy of Me

“Tucker, Tyler, and Brooks are all dead now. Is the Angels of Death still working for the Sovereign Underworld?”

Maren was confused.

She discreetly observed everything from her temporary residence nearby.

Even after students from the Baimsa Royal Trinity and Grisriver University had arrived, Maren failed to uncover any valuable leads.

Eventually, by noon of the final day, everyone boarded the ferry.

Every deck sparkled with lights, while mouthwatering food and endless drinks turned the ship into a lavish party at sea.

Most of the students appeared elegantly dressed, formally attired for the occasion.

The mood onboard was festive and welcoming.

For once, Maren played along, draped in a stylish long dress, sunglasses shading her eyes, gracefully sipping a glass of red wine, every inch the wealthy heiress.

Instinct told her someone from the Sovereign Underworld lurked onboard, hidden carefully among the crowd.

Since broad daylight wasn’t ideal for operation, Maren effortlessly maintained her disguise throughout the entire day.

Several male guests noticed her striking beauty, including a few wealthy young men who attempted subtle advances.

Naturally, Grisriver’s male college students also found themselves drawn irresistibly to Maren’s graceful charm.

People surrounded Maren, eagerly striking up conversations; it was the perfect scenario to keep her cover intact.

“Maren? Is that really you?”

At that moment, several girls approached quickly, and one of them excitedly called out to Maren.

The voice sparked instant recognition in Maren’s memory. Turning, she looked at the girl.

“Winona?” Maren briefly hesitated before fully recognizing the young woman–her old friend from middle school, Winona Winters.

“Wow! You actually still remember me!” Winona, smiling sweetly, rushed up and embraced Maren warmly. It had truly been ages since their last encounter.

Chapter 119 He Is Not Worthy of Me

Winona transferred to Grisriver halfway through middle school, long before Maren herself experienced the kidnapping ordeal.

Due to these circumstances, they had naturally drifted apart over the years.

Once Maren returned home, Winona had even briefly visited Baimsa out of concern, although they hadn’t managed to reconnect properly then.

“Indeed, it’s been quite a while,” Maren replied softly.

Friendships had always been rare for Maren, but Winona was genuinely sincere–perhaps her only real friend.

“Absolutely! You’ve become even more stunning, Maren. I almost didn’t recognize you until I got closer and took a proper look.”

Winona’s cheerful demeanor had hardly changed at all.

“Winona, who’s your friend here?” her curious classmate asked, captivated by Maren’s striking appearance.

Some of the male classmates nearby also eagerly awaited an introduction, clearly intrigued.

Apparently, the younger crowd was interested in interacting with a pretty girl like Maren.

“Sorry, everyone. I almost forgot to introduce her! This gorgeous woman here is Maren Morgan, the lady from Baimsa’s wealthiest family, and she’s my best friend from middle school. Back then, she was easily the prettiest girl at school. But now, honestly? I’d say she’s the most stunning woman in the whole city—or maybe even the entire state!”

Winona enthusiastically introduced Maren to everyone without the slightest hesitation. Having known Maren intimately in the past, she was fully aware of Maren’s previous popularity.

Sadly, back then, Maren’s infatuation with Wilbur made her constantly belittle herself, diminishing her reputation and letting others ridicule her as worthless.

Winona had always defended Maren fiercely.

Looking back, those memories seemed oddly nostalgic now.

Winona smiled and asked, “By the way, how are things with Wilbur now?”

Having reunited with Maren after so long, she eagerly raised this important topic.

“You never used to show up at social events like this. I’m guessing Wilbur must be here somewhere?”
