The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283 Aphrodisiacs

Heads turned immediately towards the entrance.

Maren wore a stunning long dress, her hair beautifully arranged over her shoulders, and she matched her outfit with chic high heels.

In one hand, she held an elegantly wrapped gift box.

“Wow, she’s not just beautiful; she’s a goddess!”

“See that? That’s genuine allure. The other woman seems more suited to street corners!”

“When has our city ever witnessed such a remarkable beauty?”

“Did you hear her? She said she’s Lucien’s girlfriend. Could she be the one linked to the underworld?”

Upon Maren’s arrival, her impeccably beautiful, makeup–free face instantly drew everyone’s attention.

Her appearance left both men and women spellbound.

She was absolutely mesmerizing.

Contrastingly, Yvette’s appeal was more overtly sensual, sparking more lustful thoughts among the men.

Maren’s charisma, however, was of a different caliber, inspiring deep admiration and loyalty, making men willing to risk everything for her.

“Maren, you’re here.” The moment Lucien saw Maren, he quickly recovered from his distraction and shoved Yvette aside.

Next to Maren, Yvette seemed merely a common streetwalker.

“Damn it!” Yvette seethed, vexed that her carefully laid plans had crumbled just as they were about to bear

fruit.

When she turned to Higgs to strategize their next move, she caught him staring, spellbound by Maren.

“What are you staring at?” Yvette asked.

“Huh? Oh, it’s nothing.” Higgs quickly snapped out of his daze, though his eyes still occasionally stole glances towards Maren.

He had researched Maren previously and her photograph had made an impression, but her presence in the flesh–far surpassing her image–ignited unexpected thoughts in his mind.

Unbeknownst to the others, Maren was not in high spirits. She had dressed meticulously, intending to dazzle at the event and establish her supremacy.

Yet, upon her arrival, the sight of Lucien in an embrace with a scantily clad woman infuriated her.

Chapter 283 Aphrodisiacs

Driven by rage, Maren approached and delivered a sharp slap to Lucien

The slap echoed, leaving everyone in attendance shocked. This was Lucien, the fovere kesh of the shar family, now publicly humiliated.

Lucien himself was stunned. Why would Maren choose to strike him now, in such a public manner, gogging

him of his pride?

“Miss Morgan is clearly upset. Seeing her boyfriend so close to another woman world og syne

“Lucien really has no limits. How can he flirt with another when he has someone as stunning as Vos Ungar

“He has really overstepped this time. It’s no wonder Miss Morgan is so upset.”

The surrounding crowd nodded in agreement, openly supporting Maren. Their comments reflectiets & Cost consensus on the situation.

“If I didn’t slap you, your family would think you didn’t care for me,” Maren whispered to Lucen with the crowd’s chatter, despite her outward fury.

Lucien, initially confused, soon understood the plan.

They needed to make the Marshall family accept Maren. Otherwise, the family would inevitably dash with Maren’s underworld forces.

If Lucien appeared indifferent to Maren, even flirting with someone else in her presence, it would signal to his family that she was not significant to him. Therefore, he had to stand by Maren.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean for that to happen. That woman…” Lucien realized that he had been manipulated by Higgs, who had used Yvette to entice him.

Fortunately, Maren intervened in time. Otherwise, he would have walked into Higgs‘ trap.

“Dad, it seems Lucien really values this woman. He didn’t even react to being slapped in public.*

“He not only didn’t react, but he also apologized to her. That’s never happened before,”

Watching through a surveillance screen, Lucien’s father, Edwin Marshall, and another senior family member discussed the implications of what they had just observed.

Calvert observed the unfolding drama on the screen, his expression one of surprise, yet he chose to stay silent.
