The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209 I’m Saving

Your Damn Life

Ernest froze. Knowing Maren was the head of the Morgan family had already been hard to process. Finding out she also ruled Baimsa’s entire underworld? That hit like a punch to the chest.

“You’ve got to be kidding. She runs the underworld in Baimsa?”

“She admitted it herself! Who’d be crazy enough to say that in front of the Marshall family if it wasn’t true?”

“She’s insane. Does she really think she’ll make it out of here alive?”

Shock gripped the guests. Some were so stunned, they let their wine glasses slip from their hands.

Everyone stared at Maren, not just because she was powerful, but because of her boldness in revealing her

underworld identity in front of Ernest.

Usually, anyone tied to the underworld would keep their distance from the Marshalls, desperate not to be

found out.

Not a single student present dared to speak. None of them had heard of this before. A woman with power in

both high society and the criminal world. She had it all.

Nadia smiled slightly, finally seeing the moment she’d been waiting for–Maren unveiling her true identity. She

could already imagine Maren’s tragic downfall,

“If you have no objections, Mr. Marshall, then from this point forward, the Morgan family and the Marshall family will stand as one,” said Maren

“Absolutely not!” Ernest snapped out of his daze the second she finished. His refusal came fast and sharp. “The Marshall family will never align with criminals!” he roared, slamming his palm onto the table. The drink he’d

just poured for her spilled and crashed to the floor.

Without hesitation, he reached for the pistol at his waist and raised it, aiming straight at Maren’s head.

“Ah!”

Panic swept through the room the moment the sudden move was made.

“Yes! Come on, pull the trigger already!” Nadia screamed inside, giddy with anticipation.

She’d expected Lucien to deal with Maren. Ernest stepping up was an unexpected bonus.

Still, Nadia wasn’t completely satisfied–she wished someone could rape Maren before killing her.

“Maren!” Isla had been quietly enjoying her dessert when the scene spiraled. Her cake hit the floor as she

bolted towards Maren, only for Stormclaw to step in and block her path.

“You touch Maren, and I swear I’ll turn your whole bloodline into ashes!” Stormclaw threatened.

“Do it, then! We’ve never bowed down to thugs like you!” Ernest retorted, brushing off the threat like it meant nothing.

A soft sigh slipped from Maren.

Lucien was still slumped nearby. She hadn’t planned on things escalating like this, but trying to reason with Ernest was clearly pointless.

Without hesitation, she grabbed a nearby wine bottle and hurled it straight at Lucien.

The impact smacked him awake like a punch to the jaw.

“Who the hell just hit me?” Lucien roared, groggy but waking fast.

“Are you out of your mind?” Ernest asked in disbelief. Maren had moved too quickly for him to react, and Lucien had just taken the hit.

He stared in disbelief, stunned that she had the nerve to act with a gun aimed right at her.

“You think I won’t shoot you dead right now?” he shouted, trembling with fury. He’d already been pushed too

far.

His finger hovered, itching to squeeze the trigger.

“Go ahead and shoot her already!” Nadia yelled in her head.

“Lucien, your brother seems very committed to killing me.” A gun aimed straight at her didn’t rattle Maren. She stayed still, calm as ever, locking eyes with Lucien, who was now fully alert.

Only then did Lucien start to register the chaos around him. “Stop it!”

One look was all it took for him to realize who she was. Recognition slammed into him. This was the woman he hadn’t been able to forget.

The only one who had ever outplayed himin

Ernest stood frozen. “You talking to me right now, Lucien?” he asked, wondering if he’d heard him wrong.

“Who the hell else would I be talking to?” Shoving the women off his lap, Lucien staggered forward and positioned himself right in front of Maren.

Ernest instantly froze, not daring to fire, “Lucien, have you lost your mind? What do you think you’re doing?”

“Shut it. Drop the damn gun,” Lucien,ordered, his voice sharp with fury.

Watching his brother point a weapon at Maren made his blood boil. He couldn’t believe Ernest had gone this

far.

Anyone else might’ve underestimated her, but Lucien had gone toe–to–toe with Maren once. He knew better.

If Maren wanted, Ernest wouldn’t stand a chance before being overpowered.

But of course, Ernest didn’t see it that way.

“Lucien, she’s part of the ‘underworld!”
