The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 328

Chapter 328 Could She Possibly Know It Was Him

When Maren realized Calvert was the one unconscious in the hospital, everything suddenly made sense.

Although Lucien had mentioned that Calvert was sick, it was now obvious the situation was far more intricate. Higgs was clearly the architect behind both Calvert’s condition and the earlier assault on Joseph.

Maren rapidly pieced everything together in her mind.

“How could it be Maren?” Nadia fumed internally. Her frustration burned. She knew Maren possessed remarkable medical talent–after all, she had dominated the competition. Yet, it was difficult to accept that the renowned prodigy from Ilasa Medical Academy, whom Joseph had praised, was actually Maren herself.

Hadn’t Maren disappeared years ago?

How could she have become a globally celebrated doctor abroad?

It made no sense.

Worse, seeing Sawyer standing loyally beside Maren ignited even deeper envy within Nadia.

Maren already had Lucien’s loyalty, yet Sawyer, another extraordinary man, also seemed captivated by her. What did Maren possess that she herself lacked?

What was so special about Maren?

Nearby, Higgs felt equally unsettled. He was well aware of Maren’s abilities–dodging sniper rounds was no ordinary feat. Eliminating his men would have been effortless for her.

Still, he was confident he would prevail. After all, Calvert had endured prolonged poisoning, and with the latest dose, no physician alive could possibly save him.

Higgs was certain his plan had succeeded.

“Maren, why are you here?” Lucien, who was unaware of the situation, was still trying to process everything.

“Didn’t you send for me?” Maren responded playfully.

Only then did Lucien grasp the reality. He had feared that Ms. Morgan would refuse to assist, but astonishingly, Ms. Morgan was none other than Maren herself.

He recalled her victory at medical competition and had admired her skills even then, but clearly, she surpassed every expectation. Compared to Ilasa Medical Academy, the competition seemed amateurish.

“Maren, I’m grateful. Please, help my grandfather.”

“Of course.”

Without hesitation, Maren approached Calvert.

His shallow breaths hinted that he was teetering between life and death

She swiftly reviewed his medical reports and instantly identified chronic gohaoning symptoms.

However, this wasn’t a typical slow–acting toxin–it was a potent poison, deliberately diluted for pronged exposure. Only someone within Calvert’s inner circle could have pulled the off

Higgs was the obvious candidate.

Still, Maren kept silent for now. Confrontations could wait. She noticed the TV line and shifted her focus to the

treatment.

“Here’s the formula I crafted. I don’t understand why his situation worsened after administration,” Joseph explained, showing her the sample.

“The remedy itself isn’t the issue.” Maren glanced at the mixture and gave it a brief sniff Had the toxin been less severe, your treatment would have worked.”

Maren suspected Joseph had erred on the side of caution, choosing gentle medications to avoid harming Calvert. Unfortunately, such mild interventions couldn’t battle the aggressive poison ravaging him

“Are you suggesting that if the poisoning were less intense, the treatment would have succeeded?” someone asked, eyes wide with disbelief.

They all remembered that before Calvert took the medicine, the toxicity wasn’t as severe, yet it suddenly grew more intense after he took it.

“Is there something wrong?” Maren asked, noticing the unease.

“Maren, here’s what happened…”

Lucien quickly recounted the sequence of events, trusting Maren’s expertise. If Maren vouched for Joseph’s medication, it meant there was no issue.

Maren’s brow furrowed. “That doesn’t add up. I’m certain the medication should have been effective unless….*

“Unless what?” Lucien urged her to continue.

“Unless an individual intentionally intensified the poison within Calvert’s system, rendering Joseph’s treatment useless.” Maren outlined the nature of the toxin and the technique used to administer it.

“First, water down the venom to cause prolonged damage, then unleash an unaltered, potent dose for a lethal follow–up?”

Everyone froze in disbelief.

Not only was the strategy insidious, but they had maintained vigilance around the patient nonstop. Ho second contamination occurred?

“Maren, can you confirm this?” Lucien questioned once more.

“Without a doubt,” Maren responded with ironclad assurance.

A collective gasp swept through the room.

Cleared of wrongdoing, Joseph turned to face them, “While I stepped away to examine the medication, did anyone interact with the patient?”

Following Joseph’s initial treatment, all attention had been directed toward Calvert’s deteriorating health. If tampering happened, it had to be during Joseph’s brief absence.

Realization struck like a bolt of lightning

Higgs, Nadia, and Leon in particular were overcome with guilt; none of them anticipated Maren’s analytical abilities could unravel the truth so thoroughly.

“I had no involvement. I never laid a finger on the patient.”

“Nor did I! I stayed far from the bed!”

Kashton and the other attending doctors were the first to proclaim innocence. Lacking the means to counteract the venom, they had kept their distance from Calvert.

“Who committed this act? Who bears the blame?” Lucien demanded, turning to the assembled Marshall family.

Each family member insisted on their blamelessness.

Even Higgs and his father, along with Nadia, raised their voices in denial, fully aware that attempting to assassinate the head of the family was punishable by death–a fate no influence could prevent.

“The real culprit won’t step forward. Debating won’t help. I must prioritize crafting a remedy,” Maren said sharply, sending a cutting glance at Higgs.

That brief glance made Higgs stiffen with dread.

Could she possibly know it was him?
