The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166 Chased By

Maren dedicated the entire day to touring several schools with Isla, smoothly chatting with each principal they encountered.

The prestigious reputation of the Morgan family and the Onyx had certainly opened plenty of doors for them.

Still, Maren wasn’t satisfied with any of the options they’d seen.

“Aside from the Baimsa Royal Trinity, every other school in this city just feels subpar,” Maren remarked with a sigh.

All the gifted students and teachers had already flocked to the Baimsa Royal Trinity, leaving only scraps for the

rest.

Yet Maren refused to send Isla to the Baimsa Royal Trinity Competition at that level would be harsh, and Isla had barely any formal

deserved a life that wacation-

bits and pieces she’d picked up casually. Maren’s goal was simpler: Isla

comfortable and carefree.

On the way home, Maren suddenly received a call from Simon. “Simon? What’s going on?”

“Boss, leave immediately! Intel says the Crazybulls and the Slayers are heading straight toward you right now!” Simon’s voice was filled with urgency, clearly terrified by what was happening.

The Crazybulls? The Slayers?

Maren instantly recalled their brutal reputations.

She had previously tasked Stormclaw with researching the four major gangs, and he had recently given her updates.

Why had those ruthless gangs suddenly set their sights on her?

“Give me details,” Maren said quickly.

How did Simon even figure out that those two brutal gangs were after her in particular?

“Information is limited, but over a thousand gangsters are heading your way. Our forces tried to intercept but were blocked. This is clearly coordinated–they want you personally,” Simon quickly explained.

It became perfectly clear then: the Onyx had been intentionally sidelined, leaving Maren in harm’s way against an overwhelming number of armed attackers.

Their intent couldn’t be more obvious. She was their primary target.

“I see. I’ll handle it,” she said.

Though still unclear about the gangs‘ motivations, Maren immediately sprang into action.

After ending the call, Maren spoke to Isla. “Isla, something very important just came up. Do you think you can make it home safely by yourself?”

“Wait, where are you going?” Isla asked anxiously, clearly fearing another separation.

“Trust me. I’ll be home in less than two hours,” Maren assured her warmly, stroking Isla’s hair comfortingly.

“Alright.”

Maren hadn’t used speakerphone, so Isla remained unaware of the danger. But she knew Maren’s departure must be urgent.

With that, Isla continued safely along their usual route home.

Meanwhile, Maren quickly called Stormclaw, instructing him to guard Isla closely. Immediately afterward, she turned to face the oncoming gangs alone.

Drawing the gangs‘ full attention onto herself was the only way to keep Isla completely safe.

When she spotted the gangsters approaching, Maren fired three decisive shots into the air.

“Help! Someone’s shooting!”

“Gunfire! Run, everybody!”

The unexpected gunshots instantly triggered chaos as pedestrians fled, panicked and terrified.

Drawn by the sudden commotion, the gangsters immediately focused their eyes on Maren.

“There she is—it’s Maren!” one yelled, pointing aggressively.

Immediately, all eyes locked onto her, recognizing their target without hesitation.

“Better looking than her pictures. How about some fun before finishing her off?”

“I’ll go first!”

With sheer numbers and arrogance, these gangsters didn’t perceive one lone woman as a genuine threat.

Gunfire erupted wildly as they chased Maren through the streets, sending bullets flying chaotically in her

direction.

Terrified witnesses nearby collapsed in tears, frozen in panic.
