How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Chapter 344

Norbert's face went ashen.

At that moment, everyone except Stuart and Adelaide was at the doorway, even Ryan, who was in his last year of elementary school, was there.

It was clear who was in the study without saying.

And what on earth was that moaning sound about?

Rose and Lily exchanged looks, their eyes sparkling with an excited schadenfreude.

Lily couldn't help herself, "Wow, I thought something serious had happened! Turns out, it's just an old tale of a man and a woman getting caught up. Cousin, really, even if you fancy Adelaide, there's a line. Now everyone's heard it."

Rose feigned reprimand, "Sis, shut it. Our cousin's a married man."

Morwenna frowned, not quite catching on at first.

But after their exchange, she got the picture.

They were suggesting Stuart and Adelaide were in the study, engaging in marital affairs.

Morwenna's face paled.

This shouldn't be happening.

Could it really be as Adelaide said, that Stuart's kindness was merely out of gratitude?

Could the affection Stuart had for Adelaide in the past, and now for her, be the same? Thus, making it okay for Stuart to be with her and Adelaide in the same manner?

Morwenna shook her head vigorously. No, it couldn't be this way. She couldn't jump to conclusions without asking.

She had felt Stuart's affection for her these past days.

Without seeing it with her own eyes, she wouldn't make any assumptions.

Morwenna knocked on the door again.

The study fell silent for a moment, the woman's voice seemingly louder.

Lily clicked her tongue, "Cousin really should keep it down, even in delight. Imagine how his wife must feel."

Norbert shot Lily a cold glance.

Lily dared not speak further.

But to Morwenna, the sounds didn't seem like pleasure, but rather pain.

No one answered the door, and with lips pursed, Morwenna reached out to unlock the study herself.

Turning the doorknob, she found it locked from the inside.

Seeing her struggle, Norbert said with empathy, "Wenna, do you really want to see what's happening inside?"

Morwenna nodded firmly, "I have to see."

She didn't want any misunderstandings; she had to see it with her own eyes to believe it.

Norbert clenched his jaw and commanded, "Get the keys!"NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Oswald, now awake, immediately fetched them.

Soon, the keys were brought over.

Morwenna took them without hesitation and unlocked the door.

She pushed it open.

In the next moment, everyone froze.

Indeed, it was Stuart and Adelaide in the study.

They had expected to witness an R-rated scenario from the sounds they heard.

But it wasn't what they had imagined.

Instead, it was a horrifying sight.

The study was drenched in blood, indistinguishable whether it belonged to Adelaide or Stuart.

Adelaide was seated in the office

chair, no, more like slumped over unable to move, her body covered in wounds. Blood soaked through her thin face nightgown, presenting a terrifying sight.

Both were covered in blood.

The moment the door opened, terror filled Adelaide's eyes. Seeing someone enter, she whispered an a voice barely audible, desperate, "Help, please help me!"

This was no lovers' tryst; it was a crime scene!

Ruby screamed, "Ah! Our cousin's a murderer!"
