The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 301

Chapter 301 Sawyer Is Our

Friend

Unlike Wilbur’s impulsive questioning, Nadia’s words were carefully crafted.

She was no match for Maren now. Voutsas belonged securely to the Marshall family, and with Lucien by Maren’s side, she didn’t stand a chance against them. Instead, she chose a subtler route–attempting to sabotage Maren by planting seeds of doubt in Lucien’s mind.

She anticipated Lucien’s fury upon discovering Maren’s supposed secret relationship, expecting him to punish Maren to preserve his family’s dignity.

Wilbur quickly grasped Nadia’s intentions, pressing his bleeding lip thoughtfully. Familiar with Sawyer’s fierce possessiveness, he knew Maren would face severe consequences, not just from Lucien but from Sawyer himself.

Then, Maren was bound to be dumped by both men.

However, Lucien’s reaction shattered their expectations.

Masquerading as Lucien, Sawyer exchanged an amused glance with Maren before they both erupted into laughter.

Their shared laughter mocked Nadia’s ignorance openly.

“What’s so funny?” Nadia was both confused and angered. “Aren’t you angi

ien?”

“Angry about what? Sawyer is our friend. We know him better than you,” Sawyer replied smoothly.

His carefully chosen words weren’t just for Nadia and Wilbur–they were also crafted for the ears of the Marshall family spies lurking nearby.

They had just managed to fool the Marshall family before, and one wrong move now could blow everything.

“What did you say?” Wilbur and Nadia exclaimed simultaneously, unable to believe their ears.

It made no sense; Sawyer and Lucien had no prior connection.

“Let’s go.” Ignoring the stunned pair, Maren confidently linked arms with Sawyer and left the restaurant amidst

murmuring diners, leaving Nadia and Wilbur frozen in shock.

“Alright, I’ve treated you to a meal. I’d better head home,” Maren whispered to Sawyer once outside, cautious of prying ears.

“Really? You think one meal covers everything? I’ve done plenty for you,” Sawyer teased, feigning annoyance at Maren’s assumption that a single meal settled their debts.

Maren arched an eyebrow playfully. “What else do you expect? Should I write you a check?”

“Not hereensry A few more meals would be fair. After all, my help wasn’t minor” Sawyer chuckled, amuses

Getting Maren to trest him to meals was just his way of hanging around her more

Now that she’d said it herself, he finally had a solid excuse to bek her out–and that thrilled Seryer, who

usually had a hard time coming up with reasons to see her.

The conversation lingered briefly before they parted ways.

Although Sawyer was reluctant, Maren had pressing obligations in Voutsas. Having been stuck at the Marshalls

for so long, she had many things to handle now

After leaving Sawyer, Maren made her way to Voutsas Middle School

Construction was already underway due to the donated funds, Isla was flourishing under Gregory and Olivia’s watchful care, surrounded by new friendships and a supportive environment.

Maren finally breathed easier seeing Isla’s happiness. Yet, one lingering worry persisted.

Even as evening descended upon Voutsas, Maren still hadn’t heard from Stormclaw. Despite thorough searches by Simon’s and Lucien’s contacts, no trace surfaced.

“Did something serious happen?” Maren muttered, her anxiety intensifying

Given the Marshall family’s power, finding someone–even a lost pet especially with her resources added to theirs. But the absence of any leads was

Perhaps Stormclaw was no longer in Voutsas, and his absolute silence alarmed her further.

Even if he were extremely busy, complete silence for nearly two weeks seemed im, ssible.

Fear gripped her heart–something grave must’ve happened. His life might be in danger.

Maren wasted no time and called Sawyer immediately. She knew well that among her acquaintances, he was unparalleled in capability

He stood alone as her most dependable ally in the urgent search for Stormclaw.

While Maren typically preferred to manage situations on her own, the gravity of Stormclaw’s disappearance compelled her to seek Sawyer’s assistance. Stormclaw had loyally served under her command for many years, earning a place as one of her most valued men.

The thought of harm coming to him was unacceptable.

“Have we not just said goodbye? Or perhaps this is a dinner invitation?” Sawyer’s voice came through the phone, tinged with amusement.

joking was the last thing on Maren’s mind. “I need you to locate someone for me. The sooner, the better.”

She ended the call abruptly, leaving no room for Sawyer to reply, and promptly emailed the details of Stormclaw’s last known whereabouts to Sawyer.

“Mr. Warren, is everything alright?” Zane had noticed his uplifted spirits just before the phone rang, but Sawyer’s demeanor turned serious now.

Zane thought this strange. Sawyer had always maintained a stoic, controlled facade, seldom allowing a smile to cross his lips. Yet, in recent times, his smiles seemed more frequent, and just now, after being absent for a considerable period, he returned with his face practically glowing with happiness.

This was a new side of Sawyer that Zane had not seen before.

However, before Zane could delve deeper, the phone call seemed to change Sawyer’s mood.

“Zane, start looking into someone for me,” said Sawyer.
