The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 320

Chapter 320 An Encounter

Those men were Higgs‘ handpicked guards. Shawn had assigned them to Higgs personally. Thanks to their close proximity to him at all times, they’d been spared when Maren made her move.

A sharp glint flashed in Nadia’s eyes. “You’re planning to have Joseph killed?”

“Joseph doesn’t deserve to live. Let the others take care of it. We can relax and enjoy ourselves tonight. By

tomorrow, the matter will be handled.”

Once Higgs gave the command, he tossed his phone aside and pulled Nadia into his arms.

Without resisting, she rested her head on his chest.

Even in the dim light, there was no hiding the gleam in her eyes. Revenge burned hotter than ever.

She didn’t need to lift a finger.

Tomorrow, once the Marshall family confirmed Calvert’s death, Higgs would step forward with fabricated proof that pointed the blame toward Maren and Lucien. That would make him the next rightful heir, and Nadia

would have the power to destroy Maren any way she pleased.

“You’ll be on your knees soon, Maren,” she muttered.

Meanwhile, Maren and Sawyer were finally back in the city after their trip to t

He had parked the car right in front of a low–key diner tucked into a quiet corner the east district. His gaze

shifted to Maren, who sat silently beside him.

Sawyer was well aware she hadn’t eaten since morning. She had spent her day preoccupied with Stormclaw,

endured a few matches, and even threw punches later that evening.

“Yeah,” Maren said without missing a beat. Her stomach had been rumbling for a while now.

After switching off the engine, Sawyer stepped out and circled around to open the door for her. “Let’s go.”

Maren slid out of the car, and the two of them were just about to enter the diner when loud voices down the street made them pause.

Their heads turned toward the commotion.

“I’m gonna lose my job if I let people like you inside! You’re not even residents!” a security guard shouted, clearly overpowered, as several rough–looking men shoved him against the wall.

“Quit yapping and open the damn gate!”

Chapter 320 An Encounter

More than a dozen men stood together–these were the same bodyguards who had helped Nadia deal with the men who had raped her. One of them suddenly snapped and punched the guard across the face.

poor guard was trapped in a relentless beating that lasted for minutes.

“Okay! I’ll open it! Just don’t hit me again!” he screamed, his voice cracking as his hands trembled.

Panic pushed him to snatch the keyring, his shaky fingers finally unlocking the gate to the apartment complex.

“Was that really so difficult? Moron.” The closest bodyguard snorted before shoving the guard aside like trash.

None of them spared him another glance as they pushed through the gate.

Not far away, Maren and Sawyer witnessed the whole thing.

“Those moves look familiar… They fight exactly like the guys from the factories,” Maren said, eyes narrowing.

“Yeah,” Sawyer said with a quick nod.

“With skills like that, faking an entry pass would’ve been easy. But breaking in like this? Right now? They’re

dearly on a tight schedule.”

“Where are you headed?” Sawyer asked as he watched Maren suddenly head toward the apartment complex.

“I’m going to figure out what they’re up to. If I can mess with their plan a little, even better. Ruining their night

sounds like the perfect payback,” Maren said, not even glancing back.

Sawyer sighed and gave a small, amused shake of his head. “Guess dinner’s off the table, huh?”

“We’ll eat when we get back!” Maren shouted over her shoulder.

Sawyer muttered to himself, “These psychos really know how to kill the mood.”

He had just finished cleaning up the chaos at the factories and wanted re Maren and enjoy a quiet bite. But like always, trouble had terrible timing.

It was time to teach them a lesson.

Without wasting another second, Sawyer took off after her.

With the unconscious guard slumped beside the gate, slipping into the apartment complex was a breeze for

Maren and Sawyer.
