How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Morwenna quickly composed herself and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Johnson. I borrowed the money fairly and squarely."

But Johnson wasn't buying it. "Who loaned it to you? You're fresh off the boat in the big city. Who'd give you that much cash?"

Stuart listened quietly. His expression was not as stern as before.

Many people didn't care where the money was from as long as they got it.

Morwenna was momentarily at a loss for words. She hadn't told everyone back home about her marriage.

Then, an idea struck her. "Norbert lent me the money, the same Norbert who has been funding the education of our village kids over the years. You can relax, Mr. Johnson."

After saying that, Morwenna blushed. She disliked lying, even if it was a white lie.

If Johnson were with her, he might have seen through her fabrication.
