How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Keira shook her head quickly.

"No, it's not that she's bullying me. Sandra reached out because she wanted me to contact you. I'm not sure what's going on, but Sandra looked as if she were gravely ill. She even... even begged me for help. Morwenna was puzzled.

Sandra, begging Keira? That was hard to believe. Sandra, who usually made a sport of pushing Keira around, actually seeking help?

Keira was known for her timid nature, always enduring whatever came her way without complaint. Sandra had taken full advantage of this, bullying Keira whenever she felt like it. It was unimaginable that Sandra would ever lower herself to ask for help.

Seeing Morwenna's confusion, Keira nervously said, "Could it be something Mr. Hetfield did? The way Sandra looked, it seemed like the Roberts family was in some kind of trouble."

Morwenna shook her head. "I doubt it. It's probably just some schoolyard squabble. I haven't asked Stuart to step in, and he hasn't mentioned anything about Sandra to me." "So, what could it be?"

"Let's not speculate. We'll ask her tomorrow. If it's urgent, she'll come to us."

"Okay, Wenna, you know Sandra's a bit of a snake. Please, be careful."

"I know. Don't worry, she can't hurt me. Now, let's get some rest."

Keira, reassured by Morwenna's confidence and her own knowledge that Sandra had never managed to get the better of Morwenna, went to bed with a lighter heart. Morwenna, too, decided not to dwell on it. Whatever it was, it could wait till tomorrow.
