The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255 Utterly Amazed

Intoxicated by the applause and keen to show off, Dunn increased the pace of his evaluations, moving from one

item to the next.

The crowd watched in awe, their voices brimming with recognition.

Absorbing every bit of the admiration, Dunn sneaked peeks at Maren, hoping to catch her in a moment of

admiration.

He often fantasized about being intimate with her.

Yet, Maren seemed entirely unaffected by his presence. Her attention was riveted on her task, as she reviewed each artifact quickly and moved on without hesitation.

She paid no attention to the spectators.

“Trying to stay composed, huh?” Dunn said silently. “We’ll see if you can resist my allure after my victory.”

Full of himself after all the praise, he figured Maren was only faking her calm. After all, how could any normal person not be drawn to him?

Encouraged by this notion, Dunn again hastened his pace in the evaluation. He was determined to be the first to discover a truly significant item.

“Mr. Turner, you’ve spoken about the specialist from Ozel. What about this young woman? Is she just putting

on an act?”

“Yes, Mr. Turner. She seems to keep pace with him, maybe even surpasses him. Do you think she’s pretending?”

“Could she also hail from Ozel? That seems like the only plausible reason she’d challenge someone of his expertise so boldly.”

“Their techniques really differ, don’t they? She just gives each item a quick glance–not the thorough scrutiny you’d expect from an expert. It’s almost like she’s just playing with the items rather than seriously evaluating them. Yes, she’s quicker, but she lacks the professionalism.”

“Without a professional approach, she obviously doesn’t grasp what she’s doing. Speed is useless if you don’t understand antiques. She’s merely pretending to be knowledgeable.”

Observing Maren’s unusual methods, many patrons voiced their doubts, feeling her approach lacked even the basic professionalism they expected.

Beside her stood Dunn, a recognized master in the field, highlighting her apparent ineptitude even more starkly. This spectacle made Lucien, who had pinned high hopes on Maren, visibly anxious.

Although he was no expert in antiques, even he could tell that Maren’s actions lacked the professionalism Donn

exhibited.

It puzzled him. How could Maren display such confidence with her limited understanding of antiques?

“Let me have a closer look, everyone,” Scotty suggested, stepping forward as the murmurs of skepticism around

Maren intensified.

The crowd fell silent, not wanting to disrupt Scotty’s evaluation. Dunn, on the other hand, let out a scornful laugh, clearly dismissive of Maren’s skills.

Having observed her closely as her competitor, Dunn saw her actions as childlike, far from the calculated

moves of a true antique expert.

“Indeed, her methods and assessments differ significantly from what we see in seasoned professionals,” Scotty said after watching Maren for a while.

“Look at that, I was right! She’s faking it! She has no clue about antiques!”

“It’s scandalous! How can someone with no knowledge pretend to be an expert in antiques? She’s mocking us

all!”

“Indeed! You’d expect a real contender against such an expert, but she’s nothing more than an amateur.”

“I was almost duped by her serious demeanor. For a moment, I thought I was the one missing something.”

Upon Scotty’s remarks, the crowd’s frustration boiled over, convinced Maren was staging a farce.

Dunn’s self–satisfaction intensified.

“Miss Morgan, why not accompany me tomorrow? I’ll take it easy so you won’t face another embarrassing defeat. It’ll help you maintain your dignity. What do you say?” he murmured to Maren.

“Tomorrow? For what purpose?” Maren responded, her laughter light.

“Just a casual meal and a walk. I’m at your service for whatever you might need,” Dunn suggested, thinking she’d be tempted.

“Sorry, you’re just not up to my standards,” Maren retorted.

Dunn’s, face twisted into an expression of rage.

“You might want to pay more attention, or you’ll just end up blaming your loss on distractions,” Maren said, setting aside another piece before turning to address him.

“All right then, I won’t go easy on you anymore!” Dunn had initially considered a more lenient strategy for dealing with Maren, but her dismissive demeanor convinced him it was futile to continue his charade.
