The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98 Ruin Her Entire Life

Maren’s expression turned into a frown. Based on the dosage, the effects of the drug would likely kick in within

two minutes of ingestion.

To buy some time, she purposefully delayed any action.

A few slow minutes ticked by. Even then, Dick’s face stayed the same and he didn’t move a muscle.

She sensed that something was amiss.

The wine had been poured from the same bottle, which hadn’t been opened prior. If the wine was fine, then

the issue must be with the glass.

She turned her attention to the glasses, they had been empty before the wine was poured.

It didn’t take long for her to notice what was wrong.

A barely visible, fine dusting of powder clung to the rim of the glass. One would need keen eyes and meticulous

attention to spot such a subtle sabotage.

There lay the clue.

This method wasn’t new to Maren. There was nothing wrong with the glass or the wine itself. However, as soon as one drank from the glass, the rim would transfer the drug into the mouth.

That would explain why Dick wasn’t affected. His glass wasn’t laced with drug.

“Why aren’t you drinking?” Dick asked, his voice filled with a hint of anxiety.

This little trick had always worked like a charm in the past. But now he wasn’t so sure. Had she finally caught on? Was it time for him to step away?

He’d watched that viral footage of Maren defeating the Royal Military Academy’s dean in a live match. That moment alone had pulled him in like a hook through skin. He had an unhealthy fascination with powerful. women. The more unshakable they seemed, the more thrilling it became for him to watch them fall apart.

The mere thought of overpowering someone as resilient as Maren sent a wave of exhilaration surging through

him, igniting a physical response.

The mere thought of it sent a wild surge of energy racing through every inch of him.

He felt his cock begin to harden, each pulse bringing with it a slow, rising swell of pleasure.

All the while, a deep fear clawed at him–Maren might actually end his life. If the Morgan family hadn’t reached out to him, he wouldn’t have even dreamed of coming at her so boldly.

Chapter 98 Ruin Her Entire Life

“Oh, it’s just that I’ve never encountered such exquisite wine. It smells so good that I couldn’t resist savoring the aroma a bit longer.”

Then, Maren tipped the glass and consumed its contents in one fluid motion, right before his eyes.

Unbeknownst to Dick, she had stealthily removed the powder from the rim with a swipe of her finger before

drinking.

Convinced that Maren was unsuspecting, a sinister smile spread across Dick’s face.

Just two minutes. That was all he needed.

In another two, she’d be underneath him, gasping for air, tangled in ecstasy, her body his to command.

“I think I’m starting to feel a bit worn out. You can leave now,” said Maren, letting out a fake yawn right after draining the last of her wine.

“This couch’s doing nothing for my back,” she said while reaching for a pillow and wedging it behind her with

a faint sigh.

“Miss, you shouldn’t…” Rowan said, hesitant because he had concealed a small camera in that exact spot earlier.

Maren looked puzzled and asked, “Is something wrong?”

“Uh, no, nothing at all.” Dick was thrown off by her query. Wanting to avoid any suspicion, he dismissed it casually.

He reassured himself silently. The potent drug was sure to turn Maren overly passionate, or at least ensure she wouldn’t remember a thing. If all else failed, his phone was ready to capture the events.

“Why are you still here? Please, leave now!” Maren urged him when he didn’t move.

“Of course,” Dick responded eagerly, his mind racing with anticipation as he exited the room.

They were high up on the thirty–fifth floor; he wasn’t concerned about her escaping. His plan was to wait just outside the door.

Meanwhile, back in the lounge, Maren was wide awake. She had spotted the hidden camera earlier.

Maren’s acting was perfect. With her background in the criminal underworld, she was adept at assuming diverse roles. For her, adopting different personas was second nature, a basic yet essential skill honed through years of dangerous assignments.

She murmured, “If you choose to betray me, Dad, expect me to reciprocate in kind.”

As her eyes fixed on a distant point, her expression hardened, becoming sharp enough to cut through the

silence.

The man she called father had not only attempted to ensnare her with a stranger but had also concocted a scheme to record her in bed and use the footage for extortion. Could a true father ever contemplate such a betrayal?

While Maren lacked an immediate answer, she was certain of one thing–the moment Ashton decided to betray her, he was done.
