How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Chapter 394



Morwenna was still busy but decided to take a quick break to use the restroom. After washing her hands, she was abruptly stopped at the door by Dahlia. Without a preamble, Dahlia grabbed her arm and said, "Morwenna, we need to have a private chat."

Morwenna hesitated briefly. "If this is about what happened before, there's no need to discuss it."

Just then, Morwenna's phone rang. She was about to answer it when Dahlia turned and said coldly, "If you don't listen to me, I'll tell everyone about you and Stuart!"

Morwenna paused, disappointment clear in her voice. "Go ahead, tell whoever you want."

Seeing Morwenna's indifference, Dahlia, in a fit of anger, snatched the phone from her hand and smashed it on the floor. "I said I want to talk!" she declared with her usual haughty demeanor.

The phone shattered, cutting off the incoming call. Morwenna looked at the broken phone, her gaze turning icy. It had been a gift from Stuart. Dahlia, noticing Morwenna's gaze, said arrogantly, "I'll replace your phone.”

Ignoring her, Morwenna carefully picked up the pieces. Dahlia continued, "Do you think exposing your marriage to Stuart is insignificant? No, it would be a massive blow to the company, possibly impacting our stock prices. Many supported the alliance between the Hetfield Group and the Irons family. If your marriage comes out, can you imagine how the Hetfield Group's shareholders will react? Perhaps you don't grasp these business strategies, but simply put, revealing your marriage would cost the Hetfield Group far more than any collaboration with my family, the Scotts." Morwenna thought that even if they weren't friends, she and Dahlia shouldn't be enemies. Was refusing to help worth such a threat?

Suddenly, Morwenna turned to Dahlia, her voice cold, "Let's go then. You wanted to talk, didn't you?"

Dahlia was startled by the chill in Morwenna's eyes, hesitating for a moment before following her.

...

At the Hetfield Group headquarters, Orson tried calling Morwenna. When she didn't answer the first time, he couldn't get through again. Quickly, he sent a text message summarizing what had happened.

As soon as he sent the message, he noticed Lily eavesdropping at the study door. Orson promptly moved forward, pushing Lily aside to stand guard at the door. Norbert's orders were clear: no eavesdropping allowed!

Lily, furious, threatened, "Orson, remember this is Hetfield territory. Believe me, I can make you regret crossing me."

Orson was about to respond when Oswald Brown's voice came from the staircase, "Miss Lily should choose her words carefully. My son might not understand your joke and take it seriously. Besides, the Hetfield family does not condone unlawful acts." Content belongs to NovelDrama.OrgOriginal from NôvelDrama.Org.

Lily's expression changed several times. She knew she could threaten Orson freely, but not Oswald. Oswald had been with the Hetfield family for years and probably knew more secrets than she did. Having his support in future shareholder disputes would be advantageous. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Lily quickly said, "Oswald, no offense intended. I was just joking with Orson."

Oswald remained silent.

A while later, Keegan returned from running an errand for Norbert. Keaton was already waiting at the villa's entrance. With family backing Orson now, Lily and Rose didn't dare provoke further. Everyone anxiously waited for the discussion in the study to conclude. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
