The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Someone Kicked The

The Door Open

“I don’t believe it!”

Agate was the first to voice her shock after Maren’s revelation. She considered herself fairly attractive, having drawn attention from several suitors during her university days.

The campus’s reigning beauty queen had no shortage of fans. Just about every class had someone swooning over her. But as far as Agate was concerned, she didn’t come close to Maren.

Agate, despite being a woman herself, couldn’t deny it Maren’s beauty almost felt unreal. If Maren had attended her university, there’s no doubt she would’ve been the standout everyone talked about.

The guys would’ve formed a line just for a chance to say hello.

“That must be some kind of a joke, right, Maren? We’re playing Truth or Dare, so you have to tell the truth! That’s how the game works!” Tracey figured Maren had to be joking.

Jett, who asked the question, was equally taken aback by her response.

It was one thing to accept that Maren might say she was single–maybe she just had really high standards.

Still, the thought that no one had ever tried to chase after her? That was hard to believe.

Unless every guy around her somehow missed what was plainly obvious.

Everyone guys and girls alike–figured Maren had to be messing with them.

At that moment, Winona couldn’t help but laugh. “Give her a break! Back in our school days, I can honestly say no one ever tried to make a move on her.”

“Really?”

The room fell silent as they processed Winona’s words.

Having shared a close friendship with/Maren since middle school, Winona was a reliable source. She had no

reason to lie.

Even so, it didn’t add up. How-

could someone that stunning not have guys falling over themselves for her? Could it really be that every potențial admirer was that clueless?

“Winona, really? It must be a joke, right? Perhaps your school was all girls?” Agate questioned, her disbelief evident.

“That’s an exaggeration!” Winona chuckled, amused by their reactions. “Maren comes from a rich family. Since betrothed to the Thorpe family’s heir. It’s unlikely anyone would have dared approach her.”

Chapter 123 Someone Kicked The Door Open

“Wow, an heiress of a wealthy family!”

A collective sense of wonder filled the room. Most of them were from Grisriver and didn’t know much about

Maren to begin with.

But the Morgan and Thorpe families were names they recognized.

These families were among the wealthiest in Baimsa, far surpassing any in Grisriver.

The news sparked both envy and admiration. Maren’s polished look suddenly made sense.

Moreover, she was an heiress.

Jett was particularly shocked.

He figured anyone close to Winona had to come from a simple background, since her family was just your typical working–class bunch.

With his parents running a decent small business, he stood a bit above the crowd, and that made him pretty popular with the ladies. He thought he was doing just fine. Yet, it appeared that Maren belonged to one of the

most influential families.

To top it all off, she was engaged—and not just to anyone, but to the future head of Baimsa’s second most

powerful family.

That realization knocked the wind out of Jett a little.

“Hey, that Wilbur we talked about earlier is Maren’s fiance, right?” one of the guys inquired, recalling a previous conversation.

“Yep, it seemed like Maren couldn’t stand him. Plus, he already has a girlfriend,” another added, contributing to

the gossip.

These were the same guys who had tried to chat with Maren before Winona recognized her. That was right

before Wilbur and Nadia had shown up.

Maren made it clear she wanted nothing to do with Wilbur, and it was obvious to everyone that something was going on between him and Nadia.

“Really, is that the case?” Jett’s interest visibly sparked again.

“Yes, it’s true.”

This was exactly the confirmation Jett had been hoping to hear.

“Great, let’s continue the game!” Jett exclaimed, urging everyone to prepare for the next round.

He had already decided to ask Maren about her preferences in men during his next turn.

It was plain as
