The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274 She Is In

Trouble Now

Excitement was poorly concealed on Fred’s and Boyd’s faces when Maren conceded to their demands. They were unexpectedly delighted, having thought it unlikely she’d fall for their play,

“Maren, don’t consent to what they’re proposing! Their certainty likely means they’ve already reached out to the Marshall family. Given the distance, it’ll take some time for the Marshalls to get here. This is your window to leave Voutsas with Isla. If you delay until the Marshalls arrive, escaping will become impossible.”

Olivia, misunderstanding Maren’s strategy, rushed to persuade her to depart.

“Don’t get involved, Olivia!” Boyd snapped, visibly irritated by her interruption.

Despite leveraging his family’s influence to take over Olivia’s role as head teacher, Boyd never won the students ‘favor, which remained with Olivia.

This lack of respect from the students fueled Boyd’s long–standing resentment towards Olivia, who he frequently antagonized at work. And once again, she stood in his way,

Nonetheless, Olivia dismissed his irritation and focused on advising Maren with urgency.

“Maren, be cautious. The Marshall family wields significant military might and shows no leniency towards those connected to the underworld. It’s critical that you leave now!”

Olivia, a longtime resident of Voutsas, was well aware of the Marshall family’s fearsome reputation.

She wasn’t aware of the specifics of Maren’s involvement with the underworld, but Maren’s recent actions had undoubtedly cast her in that light. In the eyes of the Marshall family, mere association with the underworld was enough to warrant severe consequences.

“Ms. Morrison, there’s no need for concern. I have some connections with the Marshall family, and they won’t harm me.” Maren sought to alleviate Olivia’s worries.

Regardless of the number of operatives the Marshall family might deploy–even if they mobilized their entire military–Maren knew ‘that a single phone call to Lucien would suffice to handle the situation. Ultimately, Ernest, who wielded substantial control over the Marshall family’s military resources, remained fiercely loyal to

Lucien.

Concerning the rest of the Marshall family, they weren’t a concern for Lucien. He didn’t even need Ernest’s intervention. His status as the heir was enough to resolve any conflicts.

Thus, the maneuvers by Boyd and Fred were bound to lead to their own disgrace.

Maren had reasons for her patience here. She aimed not only to decisively defeat them and eliminate any further threats under the pretense of revenge but also to assert her dominance.

Her goal was clear: to make known that Isla was under the protection of someone formidable, ensuring she would no longer be subjected to bullying.

“Maren, what did you say? You know someone from the Marshall family? Can they really ensure your safety?” Olivia inquired, her voice laden with worry.

Before Maren could respond, Fred scoffed, “Don’t harbor any illusions. The Marshall family is rigid about removing anyone tied to the underworld. Even if your acquaintance is bold enough to defend you, it will be futile. The person coming is Lucien! You’re simply out of luck. Lucien was nearby when he heard what happened and he’s already on his way here.”

Lucien?

A smile played on Maren’s lips when she learned Lucien was on the way.

Indeed, it had been Lucien who had brought her here initially. Considering he hadn’t traveled far, his return

was imminent.

“Why are you so certain that my connection within the Marshall family won’t protect me?”

“Do you really think your ally would confront Lucien on your behalf?” Fred’s laughter echoed, his disbelief evident. “Let me give you a piece of reality. A friend of mine has an uncle who backs Lucien. He’s informed me that Lucien is poised to become the next leader of the Marshall family. His grandfather hates people linked to the underworld. For Lucien to become the family head, he would never go against his grandfather’s wishes!”

“Do you really believe you can persuade someone from the Marshall family to make Lucien defy his own grandfather? Who has that kind of influence?” Boyd added, scoffing.

Initially, Maren’s formidable presence had unnerved them, but now they merely saw her as a foolhardy risk-

taker.

Fred’s remarks shifted the atmosphere sharply.
