How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Chapter 254

The tension was palpable as the person inside hesitantly said, "The restroom's under maintenance."

But before they could finish, with a resounding bang, Morwenna kicked the restroom door wide open.

What she saw next fueled her rage like never before.

Keira stood there, bruises all over her body, drenched in what looked like dirty mop water, her face swollen from a harsh slap, with clumps of her long hair scattered on the floor, and a purple bruise under her eye.

Since moving to Rosefrost Hollow, Morwenna had never felt such anger, not even when she herself had been the target of bullying. Back then, it was more about feeling wronged than this seething rage.

The girl in glasses was taken aback. She and her friends, too, had picked on Keira at times, but always with a semblance of restraint. They'd make sure to hit where clothes could cover, never leaving marks so brazenly.

Lorna's face turned stern. "What the hell is going on here?"

Morwenna, however, seemed eerily calm, a calmness that stemmed from an anger so intense it had transcended into tranquility.

This tranquility felt like the oppressive calm before a storm, halting the actions of Sandra and her cohorts, who had been bullying Keira in the restroom.

Morwenna stepped forward, suddenly grabbing Sandra by the throat, her voice low, "Keira, stop biting."

Sandra instantly felt a chilling fear, a sense of suffocation rendering her weak and terrified. It was the fear one might feel when encountering a wild beast, a sense that any form of resistance could result in being viciously mauled.

Keira's eyes were red with fury, as if she couldn't hear anything, just biting down on Sandra with desperation.

Morwenna gently brushed the wet hair from Keira's face, speaking softly, "Keira, it's Morwenna. It's over now."

Hearing her name, Keira seemed to snap out of her frenzied state.

Her vacant gaze slowly focused, finally resting on Morwenna's face.

Tears uncontrollably streamed down her face as she looked at Morwenna with a hoarse voice, "Wenna, she threw away the hairpin you gave me."

Morwenna tenderly touched Keira's head, "Don't worry, I'll give you more. What color do you like? I'll make them all for you."

Keira gradually regained her composure, only then noticing Morwenna's grip on Sandra's throat.

Sandra was already turning blue, and the others were too frightened to move.

Keira, concerned, immediately tugged on Morwenna's sleeve, whispering, "Wenna, let her go."

She and Sandra could fight and quarrel, backed by the Roberts and the Phillips families.

But Morwenna had nobody backing her. If Sandra was seriously hurt, Keira feared for Morwenna's safety.

The Phillips family might stand up for her, but her own family would never help Morwenna.

Furious as she was, Morwenna did not let go. She didn't intend to actually harm anyone, just to teach them a lesson.

Finally reacting, Sandra's friends began to shout threats.

"If you don't let go, and Sandra gets hurt, you'll be in deep trouble."

"I know you. Morwenna, right? Just a poor scholarship kid. You've got your grandpa asking people to look out for you. If you hurt Sandra, you might as well declare bankruptcy."

"You're so broke, you can't even afford the medical bills. Go ahead, try us!"

Morwenna went silent.

She wanted to beat them up, but indeed, she had no money. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Every penny she had, she wished to send back to her school in the mountains, not waste on medical bills for fights.

Then, out of nowhere, Lorna stepped forward.

With a fury-driven punch, she declared, "Worried about medical bills? As if I don't have the money to cover it. Picking on the weak, you bitch!"
