The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162 That’s

Madness

Nadia glared intensely across the dining room, studying Maren carefully as she ate.

Again, Maren sat there perfectly unharmed. Had she spent last night elsewhere, causing the assassin to miss. his opportunity?

“So Nadia, what’s this good news you mentioned?”

The Morgan men all turned to Nadia, desperate for some positivity after receiving one bad report after another

lately.

“Oh, nothing much. By the way, Maren, did you just get home this morning?” Nadia probed.

Maren continued serving Isla’s breakfast, completely ignoring Nadia’s inquiry.

Annoyed by Maren’s silent treatment, Nadia turned sharply to Bobby. “Did everyone stay home last night?” She

emphasized the word “everyone.”

“We did,” Bobby replied, confused by her strange questions. First she mentioned good news, then dismissed it, and now questioned their whereabouts.

“Nadia, why exactly did you choose to stay with the Thorpe family last night?” William asked curiously.

Even though Nadia and Wilbur were close, he was still Maren’s fiance. As Maren’s sister, Nadia staying

overnight with his family could easily spark rumors.

“Well, Maren broke off their engagement, right? I thought it’d be a good idea to visit Wilbur’s parents.” Nadia

came up with an explanation.

“It’s only been a few days, and while that’s true, it’s still inappropriate. You need to be cautious.”

“I get it, William. I need to handle something, so I’ll head back to my room now.”

Nadia quickly changed the subject, anxious that Maren might discover she had deliberately stayed away the previous night.

With that, she rushed back to her room.

As soon as she closed the door, she quickly took out her phone and dialed a number. “Maren was definitely home last night! Why didn’t you attack?”

“Miss Morgan, I’m sorry, but our cooperation ends here. We won’t be taking any further bounty requests from

you,” the man responded.

“What was that?” Nadia demanded, confused, “Are you seriously thinking about raising your fee again? You’re already getting half the Morgan family’s shares! Don’t test me!”

She assumed they were simply demanding more money.

The man explained, “No, Miss Morgan. It’s not about money this time. After two failed attempts, we’ve realized Maren is too dangerous for us. it’s not that we refuse payment–we simply can’t accomplish this mission.”

“What are you saying?” Nadia’s mind reeled in shock. “You hired Thorn, didn’t you? Or did you substitute someone cheaper? I told you I’d pay you plenty for that!”

She suspected they were making excuses.

Two tries and both unsuccessful? That couldn’t be possible!

Maren might have been talented, but she was still just a top fighter from a small city like Baimsa. Meanwhile,

Nadia had brought in the finest from Slatinia, a state.

“Honestly, it was Thor who told me to end the contract. After last night’s failure, he said Maren could’ve killed

him but didn’t. He warned me to back off and drop your contract unless I had a death wish.” Noticing Nadia jumping to wild conclusions, the man chose to lay it all out.
