The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61 The Contract

Nadia was the one to react. How could they consider putting Maren in her place? Maren was merely a plaything.

wasn’t she?

“Mr. Miller, in business, competence should trump all. I question the wisdom of entrusting such a role to a…” Nadia’s gaze cut sharply towards Maren, nearly slipping the harsh word, “bitch.” “Moreover, shouldn’t we strive to keep personal feelings out of our business decisions?”

Fury brewed within Nadia. How could Maren possibly take her position? Was it merely because of her ability to capture men?

As these thoughts solidified, Nadia’s resentment towards Maren deepened.

Simon frowned. “Is this the proficient daughter you mentioned, Mr. Morgan?”

Trying to salvage the situation, Ashton quickly intervened, pulling Nadia aside, “There’s been a misunderstanding, Mr. Miller. My daughter can be overly frank at times; she means no offense.”

“Dad, I was just…” Nadia attempted to appear blameless.

“Enough,” Ashton interjected, gesturing for her to sit down. He then addressed Simon. “She’s young and acts.

on impulse. We respect your choice, Mr. Miller, and agree to let Maren lead.”

Given that Maren was also his daughter, he resolved to speak with her later. His priority was securing the deal.

This time, Simon expressed no disagreement.

The celebration continued, enhanced by a top–tier live band that Ashton had arranged to elevate the festive.

spirit. The ambiance was lively and filled with joy.

“Please take a moment to review our proposed partnership,” Ashton suggested, presenting a meticulously

prepared contract.

The document detailed the responsibilities and benefits for each party involved.

The Onyx was set to receive seventy percent of the profits, a substantial majority.

The Morgan family would invest heavily in the Onyx’s expansion, with the understanding that the Onyx would

reciprocate as it grew in strength.

To any observer, it was evident that the Onyx would benefit greatly from the deal, with the Morgan family

assuming greater risk in a gesture of profound trust.

Westley handed over the contract to Simon with a look of astonishment. He found the terms straightforward,

without hidden catches.

Rejecting such a favorable deal seemed unthinkable.

Yet, Simon reviewed the document with a composed demeanor.

Ashton’s motivation wasn’t purely altruistic; it stemmed from Simon’s well–known integrity in Baimsa. Unlike typical gang leaders, Simon was known for honoring his agreements.

This understanding supported Ashton’s generous proposal.

He had included an additional twenty percent in the deal, primarily to curry favor for Nadia.

Ultimately, he aimed to position Nadia to reap substantial benefits from this lucrative arrangement.

“Mr. Morgan, such generosity overwhelms me. I see no justification to decline.”

Ashton’s face lit up with a smile at Simon’s words, and the three Morgan brothers shared in the joy. This deal was a major win for the Morgan family.

“Ma’am, your opinion, please?”

Just when everyone assumed Simon was on the verge of sealing the deal, he unexpectedly passed the contract

to Maren.

Until now, Maren had maintained a quiet demeanor, almost fading into oblivion at the gathering.

Simon entrusting her with the contract suddenly shifted the dynamics at the table, catching everyone by

surprise.

What was that title Simon used?

Ma’am?

Considering Simon’s age, nearly parallel to Ashton’s and old enough to be Maren’s father, the term wasn’t about seniority. It signified profound respect.

Such a title was usually reserved for individuals of considerable esteem.

Both Cullum and Bobby were astounded.

They had previously seen Maren merely as Simon’s plaything. Was it possible that her influence surpassed even

his?

“Bitch!” Nadia cursed under her breath, her heart filled with spite.

She wrestled with her emotions. She detested Maren for being a slut but couldn’t deny her jealousy of Maren’s

newfound clout.

Wilbur’s feelings mirrored Nadia’s.

Maren had been a constant annoyance to him in the past, to the point where he longed for her absence.

Yet, there she was, now seated next to a man whose power exceeded Wilbur’s. Her recent indifference towards him left him feeling utterly crushed.

Maren was unaware of their turmoil. She received the document from Simon and casually flung it onto the

table. The contract wasn’t worth her attention; she had bigger plans in store.

“Maren, it’s quite disrespectful to simply discard something that Mr. Miller handed to you,” Wilbur said, feigning concern on behalf of Simon.

Chapter 61 The Contract

He harbored a strong desire to drive a wedge between the two, secretly wishing that Simon would cut ties with

Maren.

However, the next moment, Wilbur was dumbfounded.

Simon, with a composed demeanor, picked up the tossed document, carefully straightened it, and respectfully returned it to Maren with both hands.

Maren returned his gaze, puzzled. The document was useless to her.

But Simon gave Maren a peculiar look.

Maren quickly understood that he was artfully enhancing her position before the others.

It was a little silly, but she didn’t mind playing along.

At this point, it wasn’t only Wilbur and his group who were taken aback. The bystanders witnessing the event

were also rendered mute.

A few onlookers even let their glasses clatter to the floor in disbelief.

Could they really be seeing this correctly?

Was the Onyx leader, one of the bosses behind the Phoenix Palace, really behaving as if he were accommodating

to a woman?
