The Mafia Heiress's Comeback: She's More Than You Think novel Chapter 292

Chapter 292 Higgs’s Real

Plan

“Miss Morgan, my cousin has risked his ties with our family for you. You wouldn’t let him down, would you Higgs said with a smile, shifting the focus to Maren.

“I will not,” Maren responded evenly.

Given the presence of the Marshall family, she felt compelled to reply in such a manner

Content with her response, Higgs didn’t waste a moment to delve deeper. “Could you then demotatrate for depth of your love for my cousin? He has jeopardized his standing with the Marshall family on your behalf it seems only fair that you affirm your devotion, doesn’t it?”

The onlookers nodded, seeing the logic in his challenge.

Lucien had been singing Maren’s praises in front of the Marshall family, and because of that, they hadn’t clashed with her despite her underworld background.

“How would you like me to confirm my commitment?” Maren asked.

“Just give up something of significant value as a testament to your love for him,” Higgs suggested casually

“I am prepared to forfeit my fortune and influence, transferring it all to Lucien,” Maren said, stating her terms. This proclamation left the audience in shock.

“Really? The Morgan family holds considerable wealth and Miss Morgan wields substantial power in Baimsa’s underworld. Is she genuinely ready to forsake it all for Lucien?”

“Wow, that’s true devotion!”

“Has she already decided to surrender everything to Lucien even before marrying into the Marshall family?”

Maren’s status in the world of wealth and power exceeded many present in the room. As the head of Baimsa’s dominant gang, her resources were substantial, though not quite on par with the Marshall family, yet significantly above any other family there.

Even a fraction of her assets represented a considerable sum.

The critical issue was that failing to secure a place in the Marshall family could mean a complete forfeiture of her assets.

Initially, many, particularly the Marshall family, suspected that Maren’s motive for marrying into their ranks was to access their vast resources–a typical move motivated by personal gain.

However, Maren’s declaration forced a shift in perception among the attendees, significantly improving her image among the Marshall family and their allies.

Chapter 292 Higgs’s Real Plan

Yet, this turn of events was not what Higgs had anticipated.

“No, no, no. My family’s already got more than enough money and influence. If you’re not after what we hate why would we care about what you bring to the table?”

He was not ready to let Maren slide just yet. “Let’s be clear–I already told you how devoted my cousin is to you. Miss Morgan. Love isn’t something that can be quantified with money or possessions. The only true way to demonstrate your feelings would be to kiss Lucien right here, in front of everyone.”

What?

Both Maren’s and Sawyer’s faces registered shock.

Thankfully, both were skilled enough to quickly mask their shock, and none of the Marshall family suspected a

thing.

“Higgs, is this what you’re getting at–they should just kiss?” someone asked incredulously.

Murmurs filled the room.

“Really? Does a kiss prove true love? Seems overly reductive.”

“I kissed someone back in high school. Was that supposed to be significant?”

“Indeed, that’s nothing compared to what Miss Morgan just proposed.”

The crowd was clearly unconvinced, dismissing Higgs‘ suggestion as juvenile. These were experienced businessmen, not infatuated teenagers.

What was Higgs truly aiming for with this?

“Silence, please! To you, a kiss might be trivial, but for Miss Morgan, it’s a deeply significant act, more valuable than her very life!” Higgs exclaimed loudly.

“It’s just a kiss. How can it carry such weight?”

“Indeed, Miss Morgan’s beauty would make anyone’s heart skip a beat. I’d bid highly just for a kiss.”

“Certainly, she’s worth the splurge.”

“I’d place an order for that too!”

At the event, the men exchanged remarks, clearly enchanted by Maren.

“You all really lighten the mood. What I meant is that Miss Morgan upholds a unique purity. My research shows she’s never been romantically involved or physically intimate with anyone. The young man she fancied during her youth never even received a kiss. This underscores the significance of a kiss from her!”

Higgs then disclosed details about Maren’s personal history, highlighting her values.

“Seriously? Such a remarkable woman must have admirers in droves, yet none have prevailed?” The crowd was visibly astonished. Their disbelief was evident.

“If you doubt my words, let’s have Miss Morgan confirm it herself.” Higgs redirected everyone’s attention to Maren. “Miss Morgan, do you reserve your kisses for someone special? If it’s no big deal, perhaps you could demonstrate by kissing my cousin here. Or, if it is as special as I suspect, could you prove your affection for him
