The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Her Car Was Gaining On Him

An explosion of vulgar laughter suddenly engulfed the racing area.

Amid the chaotic insults, Maren stood motionless, eyes fixated intensely on Marcus with undisguised hostility.

Spectators, sensing the commotion, craned their necks curiously, though specifics were lost due to distance.

Maren’s mere presence drew extra attention; she was the only woman bold enough to join the race.

Racing had long been considered an exclusively male arena. Could this woman genuinely believe she stood a chance?

In the crowd seats, Wilbur and his group noticed the lone female racer, though her helmet kept her identity hidden.

“Wow, it’s pretty rare to see a woman compete at this level. She must be seriously skilled! I’m actually a bit jealous,” Nadia said eagerly.

With a reassuring smile, Wilbur encouraged her, “You’ve got plenty of talent, Nadia. Your opportunity will come eventually -just keep pushing.”

Before Wilbur could elaborate further, Cullum suddenly interjected, “Hold on, doesn’t that racer’s physique seem familiar? Like Maren?”

His observation instantly unsettled the group.

They examined the racer more intently, noticing undeniable similarities. Considering Wilbur’s earlier suspicion, could it truly be Maren?

Yet, the idea seemed absurd.

How could Maren even enter this place? Plus, from their memory, she’d never driven a car before, let alone raced professionally.

Many women shared similar builds; this had to be mere coincidence.

They dismissed the thought as impossible.

Soon after, the racers prepared to begin.

Marcus gazed at Maren’s silhouette appreciatively, smirking openly.

“Hey sweetheart, let’s spice this up. When you lose, how about you have fun with me? We could keep it private in my car,

or right here for everyone’s enjoyment. Your call!”

Marcus openly mocked her, chuckling to himself as he climbed into his vehicle.

Nearby, the Onyx racers bristled at Marcus‘ crude taunts.

They weren’t especially loyal to Maren yet, but she was their new leader.

Marcus‘ disrespect was blatantly offensive.

“Boss, this guy is stepping way out of line. Should we-”

“Forget it,” Maren interjected coldly.

Her dismissal wasn’t kindness; Marcus had already sealed his fate in her eyes.

Maren strode towards her racing vehicle, her expression dangerously intense.

Betrayal warranted personal retribution.

Moments later, engines roared as racers, including the Onyx members, climbed into their vehicles.

A sharp gunshot cracked through the air, signaling the race had begun.

Vehicles burst ahead simultaneously, darting forward like unleashed beasts.

The narrow mountain road twisted unpredictably, making passing risky and requiring drivers to be aggressive.

Pressing firmly on the accelerator, Maren quickly surged into action.

Suddenly, another car aggressively danced around hers–accelerating rapidly, braking abruptly, and weaving erratically as if

taunting her deliberately.

It belonged to Marcus.

Marcus, renowned for his racing skills, relished the thrill.

Rolling down his window, he shouted at Maren provocatively, “Better get ready, sweetheart. I’ll be waiting at the finish line to collect my prize!”

Laughing loudly, he pushed the pedal and raced away.

Halfway through the race, Maren found herself trailing behind.

“Mr. Lee dominates again! He’s taking the lead!” the announcer said excitedly.
