Chapter 299
Sandra clutched her bleeding nose, still spewing threats despite her injury.
Morwenna's usual innocence faded, her voice turning icy as she issued a stern warning, "Listen, Sandra, you can mess with me and I might let it slide because I'm the bigger person here. But I've told you before, lay off Keira or I'll make you regret it!"
This incident with Sandra had caused an uproar at school, with everyone siding against her.
Even if Morwenna had refused Sandra's requests, the school would still back Morwenna. But she had diligently fulfilled her obligations, running errands until Sandra, frustrated and humiliated, provided Morwenna with a justified reason to fight back.
Sandra, eyes widened in shock, challenged, "You wouldn't dare!"
Morwenna replied coolly, "Why don't you take a guess?"
When Morwenna was angry, her chilling demeanor reminded some of Stuart, exerting an undeniable pressure.
Although Keira didn't speak up, Morwenna noticed she was still being bullied.
Keira chose not to fight back, but Morwenna wasn't about to let the bullies off without a warning.
Sandra glared at Morwenna as if she were prey. No one had dared to confront her twice before.
"Morwenna, do you really think I can't touch you? Seems like you don't understand the power of wealth."
Morwenna understood all too well. Having crossed Barclay upon her arrival in Rosefrost Hollow, she struggled to find even a summer job. But she had Norbert Hetfield on her side. While she wouldn't trouble Norbert Hetfield without good reason, she knew he wouldn't stand by if she were bullied. The Roberts family might have wealth, but they couldn't compare to the Hetfield dynasty.
Morwenna wouldn't use the Hetfield name to intimidate, but she wouldn't deny her connections either. "Well, you're welcome to try," she said firmly. Back in the mountains, Morwenna would have dealt with Sandra more harshly. Now, leaving Sandra with just a bloody nose seemed too lenient.
Turning on her heel, Morwenna walked away with confidence.
Unable to contain her fury, Sandra immediately called home.
"Mom, I need you to handle someone. Get her expelled from Rosefrost University; I can't stand seeing her here. Don't worry, she's nobody important, just a nobody."
"Alright, I'm a bit tied up, but I'll handle it in a few days."
Despite the call, Sandra felt unsatisfied.
The only immediate way to retaliate was to overwhelm Morwenna with deliveries.
Sandra ordered a set of heavy gym equipment.
Morwenna, ever diligent, accepted the challenge, charging by weight as always.
Soon, Morwenna became a unique sight at Rosefrost University, seen daily carrying parcels of all sizes across the campus.
Those seeking her delivery services grew in number.
Morwenna also outlined her novel, ready to start writing in earnest.
Life at school seemed to be looking up for her.
At Hetfield's Homestead, the Keegan brothers were in conversation.
"Second brother, what's going on lately? The women in Rosefrost
Hollow are getting bolder, e
to come to the old estate to
see Mr. Hetfield," remarked Keaton.
"We've investigated. It's mainly because Mr. Hetfield's attention to Ms. Morwenna has given many women hope," Keegan replied.
Stuart, no matter how intimidating,
was still the most desirable bachelor in Rosefrost Hollow. His looks alone were enough to captivate the local socialites, not to mention the prestigious status of the Hetfield family.
Initially, Morwenna's open
admiration for Stuart was seen as laughable. But who would have thought that her persistence would start to pay off, challenging the norms of Rosefrost Hollow's high society?
