How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Morwenna was utterly flabbergasted.

Whom was Claude calling 'brother'?

Her gaze flickered between Claude and, following his line of sight, landed on Stuart.

Catching the shadow of turmoil in Stuart's eyes, a realization dawned on Morwenna.

Claude was addressing Stuart as brother!!!

When Morwenna first encountered Claude, she found him vaguely familiar. Now, it finally clicked. The familiarity stemmed from a resemblance.

Claude bore a striking similarity to Stuart.

In Morwenna's understanding, Stuart only had two cousins from Phineas's side of the family: Reuben, who was in jail, and Ryan, who was still in elementary school.

So, how on earth was Claude calling Stuart brother?

Since she'd married into the Hetfield family, she'd never once heard of Claude!All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Morwenna wasn't the only one in shock.

Everyone who heard was equally astounded.

Even Barclay, well-acquainted with the Hetfields, had no clue about Stuart having a brother.

Stuart's gaze slowly lifted, his eyes brimming with a ferocity Morwenna had never seen before.

He fixed his gaze on Claude, his voice chilling to the bone. "You disgusting creature, who allowed you to show your face? Tired of living, are you?" The depth of loathing in Stuart's eyes was palpable, his intent to kill not a mere jest.

Morwenna's heart tightened.

Initially shy, she had reached out to push Stuart away, intending to get off his lap.

But hearing Stuart's words, her push turned into a clutch, gripping Stuart's hand instinctively.

Everyone tensed up, too frightened to utter a word.

Claude's manager, Ramsey, was sweating bullets, torn between Norbert's instructions and Mr. Hetfield's menacing glare. Just a regular manager caught in the crossfire, what could he do?

Yet, Claude seemed fearless.

His smile unwavering, he even stepped doser to Stuart, innocently saying, Brother, you want to kill me in front of Ms. Winslet? Fine by me! That way, Ms. Winslet will remember me forever."

Both statements were terrifying in their own right.

But what was even more frightening was Claude's apparent delight in the situation.

If Stuart was seen as a laid-back, ruthless demon king,

Claude appeared to be a mischievous imp.

Both carried a similar aura of obsession and madness.

Barclay was convinced disaster was looming. Given the circumstances, it looked like trouble was brewing. And this bizarre situation with the

celebrity, who came through bil ned

to

Rosefrost University... Were these two brothers or enemies?

Outside, the world went on merrily.

Inside, the air was thick with tension.

Everyone felt a heavy weight on their chest, unsure of what to do next.

Morwenna was similarly at a loss, unfamiliar with the intricacies of the situation.

She knew the Hetfield family harbored secrets, Stuart included, but some stories, Stuart refused to share.

However, she knew they needed to separate Stuart and Claude, or things could escalate.

Without hesitation, Morwenna leapt from Stuart's lap and, disregarding his

the storeroom with all her might.

The onlookers were momentarily stunned.

Then they saw Morwenna pulling Stuart away.

The smile vanished from Claude's face, leaving behind only his obsession.

Stuart, dragged by Morwenna, entered the storeroom.

The storeroom was empty, devoid of any presence.

Morwenna, standing on her toes, wrapped her arms around Stuart's neck and kissed him.
