How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Brian hurried down the stairs, strategically following behind a resident who was also heading out, making it seem as if they were leaving together. This resident was a stranger, and no one would suspect that one of them was Brian.

But after Stuart abandoned her, they severed ties as if they'd never known her, showing a heartless indifference. Even Barclay, who used to hang around her like a lost puppy, now ignored her completely.

Adelaide never blamed herself; she believed it was these people who were heartless and unjust to her. Recognizing Brian, she felt a surge of excitement. From her observations, Brian was likely the only one keeping an eye on Morwenna. Now that Brian had left, perhaps Morwenna was alone upstairs.

Watching Brian disappear into the distance, Adelaide's excitement grew. "Quick, all of you come with me. We're going to grab her now," she urged her group. Knowing Morwenna was skilled in combat, she'd brought several tough guys along, each concealing a stun baton under their jackets.
