How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Morwenna's swift agreement left Phineas in high spirits. Once he secured the documents from Windcharm Villas, all the financial mishaps caused by Reuben could be blamed on Stuart. In a few days, with another set of documents from Norbert, Stuart would be even more powerless upon his return. The investigator Phineas had sent reported that Stuart had ventured alone into a remote, primeval forest. "It would be best if he never made it out!" Phineas mused, a smile spreading across his face, as he approached Morwenna with the demeanor of a benevolent elder, even patting her shoulder. He was about to call Morwenna to leave the study with him to retrieve the documents immediately. But in an instant, Morwenna grabbed a metal ornament from nearby, her face set with fierce determination, and struck Phineas on the head. "Agh!" Phineas cried out, blood streaming down his face. Morwenna struck again with relentless force!

Phineas scrambled away, clutching his bleeding head, his eyes a mix of shock and fury as he glared at Morwenna. "Are you out of your mind? How dare you attack me! Norbert is still out there do you not care about him?"

Holding the bloodied ornament, Morwenna slightly tilted her head, her usually bright and cheerful face now shadowed by a desperate resolve. "Come on, then! Kill me! I'd rather die alongside Norbert Hetfield!"

Her sincerity was so intense that even Phineas could see she meant every word.

Phineas was bewildered. How could a young woman, barely in her twenties with a promising life ahead, be so unafraid of death?

Grinding his teeth, Phineas retorted, "You've truly lost it, Morwenna! Don't you care about yourself or Norbert? He's suffering so much right now!"

Morwenna gave a desolate smile. "I can't bear to see him in pain anymore. So, I won't save him."

She took a step forward.
