How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Chapter 370

Keira's heart tightened, and her voice carried a hint of nervousness. "It's... it's okay."

Fortunately, Keira was naturally timid and often stuttered when she spoke, so Dahlia didn't notice anything unusual.

After a moment, Dahlia added, "You do have foresight, being the eldest daughter of the Phillips family. Befriending Morwenna could be beneficial for the Phillips family in the future."

Keira hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back.

She hadn't told her family about Morwenna.

And she certainly hadn't considered leveraging their friendship for any gain.

Dahlia continued, oblivious, "I've always been good to Morwenna. Sharing a dorm room must be fate. If any of us has a problem, we should all help each other out, right?"

Keira thought to herself that Dahlia probably meant that if the Scott family needed something, it was only right for Morwenna to lend a hand.

Besides, she didn't believe in fate. Her living with Morwenna wasn't destiny; she had made sure they would be roommates long before returning to school. After all, how else would a sophomore end up living with a freshman?

Keira had a lot on her mind but said nothing.

Seeing Keira's silence, Dahlia inwardly scoffed at the thought of a Phillips heiress too timid to even make eye contact while speaking.

Their conversation was interrupted as Morwenna and Lorna arrived, struggling with a bookshelf.

After several trips, they finally managed to move all the old shelves.

Sweaty and breathless, Morwenna hadn't even caught her breath when a crowd started to gather.

"Hey, you're Morwenna, right?"

Morwenna, puzzled, didn't recognize any of them.

One sneered, "Looks just like her photos from the forums. I just wanted to see who dares to challenge our dear Carolyn for the title of campus beauty."

"Seeing you now, wow, as drab as I imagined. Trying to compete for campus beauty at Rosefrost University with that plain Jane look of yours? Might as well go back to your hometown and be a country beauty."

"With that look, daring to rival our Carolyn? You can't even hold a candle to her."

Carolyn hadn't come herself, sending her minions instead to hassle Morwenna.

Before Morwenna could retort, Lorna slammed down the bookshelf she was carrying.

The loudest mocker stepped back, "Lorna, you usually don't get involved. This is between Carolyn and Morwenna. We'd appreciate it if you stayed out of it."

Lorna, hands on hips, declared

boldly, "Stay Out of it, my foot! I'm the head of Morwenna's fan club here. The campus beauty title should be a fair competition. If Carolyn's so great, let her face Morwenna in a challenge.

Morwenna will beat her with one

hand tied behind her back!"

The crowd couldn't help but snicker.

"As if Morwenna wouldn't win even standing still," someone muttered under their breath.

"Lorna! What are you thinking? If your family knew you were taking sides against Carolyn at school, they'd never approve."

Lorna thought to herself, even the Lamont elders know the Hetfields are more crucial than the Nelsons.

And without the Hetfields, she'd still

Carolyn's faux innocence. Born into privilege and acting as though she's above it all, while secretly wanting everyone to worship her.

Lorna glanced at Morwenna, whose focus was entirely elsewhere.

With Carolyn's fans showing up, Keira rallied support for Morwenna online, and their supporters started to gather. What a crowd!

With a cheerful grin, Morwenna greeted them, "Hey everyone! We're opening a parcel collection point right here on campus. No more long treks to pick up your packages First week's shipping is 20% off. Hope to see you there!"
