How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband
Chapter 474

At that moment, Morwenna finally grasped the gravity of her situation. Before she lost consciousness, she had been with Matthew and Brian. Now, as she blinked into awareness, the only familiar face was Adelaide's, surrounded by strangers. It dawned on her that she had been kidnapped.

Morwenna felt utterly drained, a deep sense of defeat clinging to her. Deprived of food and water for so long, her strength had waned. Without a second thought, she spoke, "If you're planning to use me for your gain, go ahead." With those words, she closed her eyes again.

She couldn't replace a reason to hold onto life anymore. The struggles she had faced seemed meaningless. If Adelaide truly intended to harm her, Morwenna found herself strangely indifferent. The idea of her tragic life ending sooner rather than later didn't upset her. However, she was resolute on one point: the shares of the Hetfield Group, belonging to Norbert Hetfield, would not be handed over to anyone.

Adelaide, seeing Morwenna's defiant demeanor, grew even more enraged. It was as if Morwenna didn't even deem her worth a second glance. Adelaide kicked Morwenna in fury, screaming, "You wretched woman! You look down on me, don't you? I'll show you!"

"You think you're so great because you've got Stuart, but look where you are now!"

"You ruined me, Morwenna! If I can't have what I want, neither will you. I'll destroy you, Morwenna! I swear I will!"

Adelaide's face twisted with rage as she kept kicking Morwenna. In her madness, she seemed intent on ending Morwenna's life.

The tattooed man watching Adelaide's frenzied display couldn't help but frown. He shoved her aside, "Enough already. We're not here to watch your meltdown."

Adelaide, still seething, barked, "Get lost! Who do you trash think you are to talk to me like that?"

Though she knew provoking these men wouldn't end well for her, Adelaide was beyond control. Years of repression had left her teetering on the brink of sanity, her words spilling out recklessly.

She wanted everyone who ever

looked down on her to suffer. Pointing at Morwenna, Adelaide shouted, "Take her! You like women, don't you? Here's one right here, pure and pretty. Have your fun with Morwenna."

She intended to let the lowest of the low ruin Morwenna, to ensure no one had it better than she did.

But the tattooed man suddenly slapped Adelaide, "You wretched woman! Who are you calling trash Think you're better than us? I recall you testing Parker if you couldn't pay, you'd offer yourself up. Looks like you're out of cash, so I'll be taking my interest now!"

With that, he reached out and tore at Adelaide's clothes.

Adelaide's eyes widened in disbelief, "I meant Morwenna, not me! How dare you touch me!"

The tattooed man sneered, "And why wouldn't I?"

"N-no, you want her, not me! This is disgusting, don't touch me! Go to Morwenna!"

"Today, I'm dealing with you, you miserable woman. Morwenna's off-limits, she's leverage. We can't risk ruining her. But you, you've hit rock bottom and still act high and mighty. Aren't you disgusting? You're no different from us, just another rat in the gutter!
