How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband
Chapter 446

Brian had the appearance of a harmless puppy, but in reality, he was the most cunning of them all. Fletcher had persistently warned him to stay away from Morwenna, but clearly, Brian hadn't listened.

Not only had he gotten involved with her, but he had done so in such a public manner that Morwenna could no longer remain in Rosefrost Hollow. The reporters were practically salivating at the scene unfolding in front of them.

Some of them had started live streaming, and the chat rooms were ablaze with furious comments.

"Who would have thought? Morwenna's quite the schemer, marrying Mr. Hetfield wasn't enough, she had to mess around with others for benefits."

"Mr. Hetfield is smart; she can't possibly trick him out of money. Probably using Norbert's backing to deceive others now."

"Oh my, ClaudeAngel, wise up! Don't be so lovestruck. She's married, she's conning you! How much money has she swindled from you?"

Claude appeared so innocent and harmless that people instinctively blamed Morwenna for everything. The situation had spiraled out of control, with Brian's manipulations painting Morwenna as a traitor to Stuart, even deceiving someone as young as Claude for her gain.

Meanwhile, in a law office, an older attorney was busy at work. Suddenly, he noticed a live stream notification with the headline: "The Hetfield Group Scandal: Mrs. Hetfield's Betrayal for Money?"

The lawyer, sensing the gravity of the situation, quickly clicked into the stream. Astonished by what he saw, he sprang from his chair, grabbed a file, and hurried out the door.

Outside Claude's home, a crowd had gathered. At some point, Claude had started to fiddle with a small knife, glaring at Brian. Everyone said he had mental issues, and that crimes committed by the insane weren't punishable by law. So, what if he just took care of Brian?

Claude had always been a bit unhinged, known for self-harm and violence. He wasn't one for verbal battles; he preferred a more direct approach.

Then, suddenly- *Bang!*

A loud noise startled everyone. Many saw a shadow fall from the second floor of the mansion.

Earlier, Morwenna had been in a

room upstairs, frantically trying to replace a way out. She needed to return to Norbert Hetfield. But the door was locked, trapping her inside swnovel

In her panic, she noticed the open window. Without hesitation, she climbed up and jumped out.

With Claude gone, the butler couldn't stop the flood of people who poured into the villa, looking bewildered.

As everyone crowded inside, they saw a frail figure struggling to stand on the lawn. Morwenna looked ghostly pale, thin and frail.

People glanced at her, then at the open window on the second floor, realizing she had jumped.

What was going on here?

Claude knew. He rushed over to help her, whispering, "Ms. Winslet, I'm not going to hurt you. Would you really rather jump out a window than stay?"

Morwenna's voice was weak and faint, "I need to see Norbert Hetfield."

Their quiet exchange was lost on the others, who only saw Claude's anxious expression as he helped Morwenna, concern etched on his face.

Brian's expression darkened as he led the charge, taunting, "Caught sneaking out, were you planning to escape by jumping? No need to run, Morwenna, you love money, right? Come, tell the camera how you dared to betray Stuart!" swnovel.net
