How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Chapter 428



Fletcher was weighing his options. Norbert had limited time left, but Stuart had a promising future ahead of him. Anyone could see which was more important. Yet, to Morwenna, no one compared to Norbert Hetfield.

"Step aside."

"Morwenna, Stuart has been so good to you. Can you really just walk away from him?"

Morwenna suddenly looked up at Fletcher, her once bright eyes now filled with sorrow as she asked, "Good to me? Fletcher, did you know about the car accident Stuart staged to deceive me?"

Fletcher's heart skipped a beat, and he took a step back.

Morwenna let out a bitter laugh. "So you knew too. You all knew, and I was the fool, falling for Stuart because of his so-called kindness. You've all deceived me. Now, on what grounds do you ask me to return to Stuart?"

Fletcher was at a loss for words, trying to explain, "It's not what you think. Stuart had his reasons. His troubled childhood made him act irrationally, and he's been suffering for years..."

"I know he's suffered, but did I cause his suffering? Why should I bear the consequences? I could forgive him for making things difficult for me, for disliking me, but deceiving my feelings is unforgivable! Meeting him was just my bad luck. I've already signed the divorce papers and left them at Windcharm Villas. From now on, don't speak to me about Stuart. He and I are nothing to each other!"

Morwenna, not one to shy away from hardship, had always been cautious with her heart. How could she tolerate deceit?

With those words, Morwenna pushed open the door and left the room. Her eyes were slightly red, whether from anger or sorrow, it was hard to tell. But whatever it was, she wasn't going to leave Norbert Hetfield behind.

After Morwenna left, Fletcher took a deep breath, understanding why she felt betrayed. She had learned the truth. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place. When Stuart first fell for Morwenna, Fletcher had a feeling those actions might backfire one day, and now they had. to

After Morwenna departed, Phineas entered. Fletcher, suppressing his discomfort, got straight to the point: "Give me Morwenna's phone." "Fletcher, you've seen her, said your piece. Don't push your luck."

"I don't want to trouble you, Phineas. Give me Morwenna's phone, and I'll immediately pull the Vaughn family out of this competition."

Fletcher's opportunity to meet

Morwenna had been secured

because the Vaughn family, together

with the Lamont family, had

pressured Phineas. Phineas, already

dealing with internal strife in Hetfield Group, couldn't withstand this external threat. Reluctantly, he agreed to let Fletcher see

Morwenna. to

He almost wished he could throttle Fletcher, his voice filled with anger: "Fine! Take it! But you better keep your word."

"Phineas, rest assured, I, Fletcher, always keep my word. And please, take good care of Norbert and Morwenna. When Stuart returns, he'll thank you personally."

Fletcher left with Morwenna's

phone. He sought out the young tech whiz who had once rigged a phone for Stuart and Morwenna. After presenting concrete evidence that Stuart was missing and needed to be located, Fletcher obtained the right to use the phone from the young man. Returning with the phone, Jack was the first to speak up: "I'm a special forces soldier, been to some of the most remote places. I'll go find Stuart." to

Brian, with his usual cynicism, remarked, "Oh, and what about Morwenna? Wasn't she ready to die for Stuart? Now that he's in danger, she's nowhere to be seen."
