The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54 Not Interested

Maren replied, “Sorry, I’m not interested.”

Not interested?

“Could you repeat that?” Alberto asked, unsure if he had heard correctly.

Many would compete fiercely for a position in the state military.

Moreover, this was a direct invitation from Alberto.

The classmates looked at Maren as if she were making a huge mistake. Could she not see the value?

Nadia was convinced that Maren understood the implications perfectly. She figured Maren was merely delaying to extract additional advantages. She thought Maren was absolutely shameless.

“Maren, please think this over. Performing well in the state military could lead to my recommending you for the elite national forces,” Alberto insisted, determined not to lose such a prospect.

The elite national forces?

The students‘ eyes nearly popped out of their skulls, so envious were they.

If someone from Baimsa ascended to such heights, even the mayor would need to defer with respect.

Such a level of military authority was certainly no trivial matter.

“Maren!” Nadia’s voice rose in fury, her anger nearly overwhelming her. She was desperate to expose Maren’s tactics to Alberto as mere ploys for more benefits. Yet, she was aware that Alberto might dismiss her claims.

How had she been blind to how sneaky Maren actually was?

Throughout every assessment from the initial field combat to the present, Maren had consistently overshadowed everyone else.

Had Nadia received such an offer from Alberto, she wouldn’t have hesitated. She was sure Maren was playing a long game and would accept eventually.

She believed Maren’s strategy might be working.

However, as these thoughts crossed Nadia’s mind, Maren said with composure, “I appreciate the offer, but I have different aspirations. The military path isn’t for me.”

“Not interested in the military?” Alberto was taken aback. “Why then did you decide to join a military academy?”

Wasn’t the ultimate goal of all students here to pursue a military career?

Maren revealed the bet she had made with her father.

Upon learning this, Alberto gave a disappointed sigh and shook his head slowly. “Such a waste. Well, I won’t

press the matter.”

Feeling let down, Alberto disregarded the others, turned around, and departed from the academy.

Having once dominated the criminal underworld, Maren had never truly harbored any military ambitions.

She had prevcollaborated with global military forces, so an offer from the state level held little allure for

her.

Silence fell over Maren as Alberto walked away, her mind wandering back to thoughts of Sawyer.

But to everyone else watching, her expression seemed off.

“Why turn down the offer? Playing hard to get just to increase your value isn’t wise. You aimed too high, and

now that Alberto has left, it’s truly regrettable.”

Nadia approached Maren, her expression one of feigned compassion. Internally, she was actually pleased. That was the price of Maren’s greed. With Alberto gone, Maren had lost her chance.

Nadia’s words helped others understand why Maren had declined.

They considered Maren to be overly manipulative.-

People started looking down on Maren, convinced she finally got what was coming to her.

“Regrettable? I bet you’re actually relieved. Did you break into a cold sweat, fearful I might accept?” Maren

confronted Nadia with a sharp gaze.

Nadia instantly tensed under Maren’s scrutinizing gaze. “I think it’s a pity. You’re my sister. This is a loss for Nadia instantly tensed under Maren’s scrutinizing the whole Morgan family.”

The sense that something was amiss lingered-

th her. Maren seemed more assertive and sharper than before.

“What’s this all about?” At that moment, Wilbur entered the classroom.

“Wilbur, you won’t believe what my sister has just declined

Nadia quickly recounted the recent events. Her
