The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87 A Secret

“What the hell are you doing here?” Wilbur stared in disbelief at Sawyer’s unexpected appearance,

Wasn’t this the guy Maren had hired just to make him jealous? What was he doing showing up at her house?

“I’ve come to pick up my woman. Is there a problem?” Sawyer advanced confidently, reaching to put an arm

around Maren’s waist.

He figured it was time to declare his relationship with Maren so that Wilbur would back off

But Maren twisted her body to avoid Sawyer’s arm.

Recovering smoothly, Sawyer instead clasped her hand in his own.

Maren allowed it, sensing Sawyer was trying to help her.

“Your woman?” Wilbur stood frozen, staring at their clasped hands. “Let go of her!”

He’d never even managed to hold Maren’s hand himself, and now this nobody was holding it so casually.

“Sorry about this, Wilbur. But aren’t you supposed to be marrying Nadia? She’s my sister, and I’m not going to fight over you,” Maren said as she smoothly linked her arm through Sawyer’s

The way Maren leaned against Sawyer felt like a stab to Wilbur’s chest.

“Weren’t you two just putting on a show?” he blurted out incredulously.

“Who gave you that idea?” Sawyer retorted before Maren could respond.

If Maren hadn’t been watching, Wilbur would have already swung his fist at Sawyer. He couldn’t figure out where Sawyer fit in this picture. Hadn’t this always been just between him and Maren? Who was this guy

anyway?

Wilbur refused to accept what was happening. More importantly, he couldn’t fathom that Maren had moved on so completely from him.

He remembered how desperately she’d once pursued him, even risking her life to protect his.

Yet when Wilbur looked at Maren’s eyes now, he found no denial of Sawyer’s claim.

“Maren, don’t you have anything to say?” Wilbur asked, still clinging stubbornly to his disbelief.

Maren found herself caught in an uncomfortable position.

On one hand, she desperately wanted Wilbur out of her sight. But she didn’t exactly want to profess any love for Sawyer either.

However, between the two, Sawyer was clearly the better option.

“No,” she replied.

With Sawyer already stepping in, she had no reason to correct him.

Wilbur stood there speechless.

He had finally convinced himself to accept Maren, yet somehow someone else had beaten him to it.

And worse, this person was someone he knew nothing about.

“I’m finished eating. Sawyer, let’s go.”

She’d wasted enough of her time. It was high time she reclaimed her shares.

Without another word, she walked out of the villa first.

Wilbur jolted back to reality, stepping in Sawyer’s path before he could follow. “Sawyer, huh?”

“Sawyer Warren.”

“I’m warning you right now–stay away from my woman. You’re in Baimsa, the Thorpe family’s territory. Keep pushing your luck, and you’ll regret it.”

A Warren?

He had never heard of that surname in Baimsa.

Earlier, Wilbur had guessed Sawyer might have some influence, given his attitude. But now, after learning his

name, all Wilbur felt was contempt. He’d wasted his morning being cautious around some nobody?

Wilbur had no clue. If the powerful figures in Beratia could read his thoughts, they’d choke on their cigars in

shock.

Mistaking the heir to the world’s most feared arms empire for an insignificant nobody… Wilbur was

unknowingly tempting fate.

“Your woman?” Sawyer’s tone dripped with disdain.

“Yes! She’s my fiancee, so I’m telling you right now-”

Before Wilbur could finish speaking, Sawyer gripped him tightly by the throat.

Wilbur fought desperately, but Sawyer found it no harder than holding down a struggling bird.

With a loud crash, Sawyer slammed Wilbur into the floor.

Wilbur groaned in pain.

“Consider yourself lucky that I’m showing restraint today. Otherwise, you’d already be dead,” Sawyer said

coldly as he stepped on Wilbur’s face.

He would’ve ended Wilbur’s miserable life right then if Maren hadn’t been there.

“You’re dead! You worthless piece of garbage!”

Wilbur was furious. Never in his life had he been treated this way.

He was one of the top students of the Royal Military Academy, yet now he lay helplessly pinned beneath

another man’s foot?
