How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Chapter 255

Nobody saw it coming when Lorna suddenly sprang into action.

Sandra and her gang, who'd previously relied on Keira's easygoing nature to push her around, found themselves completely outmatched in Lorna's presence.

There was Keira, fearfully tugging at Morwenna's sleeve, "Wenna, please don't get involved anymore, we really can't afford more trouble."

Lorna was fuming, fighting and cursing simultaneously, "What the heck? You chicken, Morwenna's standing up for you and you're telling her to back off? What are you afraid of? Aren't you a Phillips? Stand your ground. I refuse to believe the Phillips wouldn't step in for you."

Keira was momentarily stunned by Lorna's outburst.

Nobody could stop Morwenna then.

With a swift move, Morwenna twisted Sandra's arm behind her back and dunked her head into a mop bucket, forcing her to swallow mouthfuls of dirty water.

This went on until Sandra was close to drowning, at which point Morwenna finally released her.

Gasping and coughing, Sandra felt humiliated beyond words.

She was used to being the bully, not the victim.

Word had it that Morwenna came from a humble background.

The day Norbert dropped Morwenna off at school, he went around asking everyone to look out for her, making it known that Morwenna was living solely with her grandfather.

Sandra, with a face dark as thunder, scrambled away from Morwenna until she reached the bathroom door. Only when she was sure she could make a quick exit did she scream, "Morwenna, you're dead meat! I might not touch those others, but I can surely deal with a nobody like you. You dared to lay hands on me; wait till you're kicked out of Rosefrost University!"

With that, Sandra didn't wait for her minions; she turned and ran.

Morwenna didn't pursue. When she had twisted Sandra's arm, she had applied just enough force to ensure Sandra wouldn't be using her right hand any time soon.

Seeing those bullies in action had sparked a fierce desire in Morwenna to fight back.

But she knew better than to act impulsively.

This was a society governed by law, not by fistfights.

The victim here was Keira, and Morwenna felt that the right course of action would be to report the incident to the authorities.

What had been done to Keira was not just simple bullying; it was an assault, both physical and emotional.

Morwenna helped Keira up, cleaning her face from dirty water and tears, then draped her own jacket over Keira's shoulders.

"Keira, we need to report them," Morwenna advised, making eye contact. "Make those mean people answer for what they've done."

Keira was startled, shaking her head vigorously, "No, no, we can't do that. The Roberts and the Phillips have old ties, even business dealings. If I report this, it could jeopardize both families' interests. My parents would never allow it."

Morwenna frowned, "But you're hurt. How can you just let it go?"

Keira, ignoring her own disheveled state, insisted, "It's just a minor injury. I can endure it. But... Wenna, I'm afraid I've dragged you into this mess. Sandra will definitely seek revenge on you. They're unreasonable; what should we do?"

Morwenna was baffled, "We're not the ones in the wrong here; they are."

Keira remained silent, offering no resistance, only worried about Sandra targeting Morwenna.

Realizing she couldn't persuade Keira, Morwenna sighed and let the matter drop.

She then turned to look at Lorna.

Lorna, feeling a bit awkward under Morwenna's gaze, snapped, "What are you looking at? I'm not doing this for you. I just can't stand those bullies picking on the weak, I..."Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
