How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband



Ella always suspected that the marriage between Morwenna and Stuart might not be quite equal. Stuart, a prominent figure in their social circle, and Morwenna, a naive girl from the countryside, seemed like an odd match. However, she never imagined that their marriage was nothing but a complete sham.

And what was with this ridiculous damsel-in-distress charade?

Ella felt awful for Morwenna and wanted to offer some comfort. She had barely taken two steps when two bodyguards blocked her path. Phineas, with a stern face, said, "Ms. Lamont, if you don't want Morwenna to suffer more, you should turn around, exit, and return to where you belong."

Ella clenched her fists, tempted to punch Phineas. But what would that accomplish? If she acted out, Morwenna would ultimately suffer the consequences.

If Morwenna was willing to leave, Ella would risk everything to take her away. But seeing Morwenna huddled next to an elderly gentleman, Ella knew she wouldn't leave. This left Ella feeling both worried and helpless.

She had hoped that when Stuart returned, he might help Morwenna. Now, it seemed everyone was corrupt, and she was at a loss for what to do. "Phineas, whatever you're fighting over, Morwenna is innocent. We're all respected individuals in Rosefrost Hollow. Hurting a young woman is disgraceful," Ella retorted.

Phineas, showing his impatience, said, "I think the Lamont family has been too lenient with you, but don't overstep. Even your father wouldn't dare speak to me like this."

Ella's greatest strength was her bravery. Unfazed by Phineas's cold demeanor, she firmly stated, "If you dare to harm Morwenna physically, I'll make sure everyone knows what happened today."

After making this bold statement, Ella worried that she might be silenced permanently. But she reassured herself that they lived in a society governed by law. Even someone as powerful as Phineas couldn't just commit murder.

Phineas contemplated for a

moment. If Ella were just another

ordinary person, he could have

easily expelled her from Rosefrost Hollow, making it impossible for her

the

to stay. But Ella was different. Lamont family might not rival the Hetfields, but they had only one daughter, and all their influence was

in the hands of Ella's father.

Phineas softened his tone, "Alright, I won't harm Morwenna. I'm just trying to get what's rightfully mine. If Morwenna needs to stay here with Norbert, then let her."

Ella sighed in relief, knowing she shouldn't push her luck further. She gave Morwenna one last look before reluctantly leaving the room, glancing back every few steps.

After Ella departed, she was confined to the game room, her freedom to roam no longer permitted.

With Ella out of the picture, Phineas turned to Morwenna with a softer voice, "Morwenna, I know you're a kind person, but look where your kindness has brought you. Stuart has deceived and manipulated you. What do you gain from being loyal to him?"

Morwenna remained silent, her eyes

closed, unmoving. But Phineas knew she was listening and continued, "I'm not asking you to harm him.

Just retrieve some documents for et

me. Now that Norbert is

incapacitated and Stuart has vanished, we can't just let the Hetfield family's empire, which Norbert built from the ground up, fall apart, can we?" This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

"If you get those documents, it'll be a small revenge against Stuart,

making him suffer a bit. After that, promise not to trouble you or

Norbert anymore. Norbert has been

so good to you. Why should to you. Why should you

care about anyone else? You should

prioritize Norbert's well-being above all."

Finally, Morwenna opened her eyes, which were filled with a deep, resigned sadness.
