How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Chapter 362

Keira immediately leaned in with concern, "Wenna, what happened this morning? I heard Sandra's voice outside while I was still in our dorm room. By the time I changed and came out, you guys had already left."

Lorna chimed in, "Did Sandra come to bully you again? Morwenna, you've got to stand up for yourself. Show her the same fight you'd show me. Sandra? She's nothing; you could knock her into next week."

Morwenna explained, "No, it wasn't like that. Sandra actually came to apologize. It's all sorted now, but it seems to have stirred up some attention. I've been getting a lot of looks today, even here in the cafeteria."

Hearing this, Lorna burst into laughter, "Morwenna, you think they're staring because of Sandra? Please, Sandra's old news. You're being watched because you've been nominated for Homecoming Queen!"

Morwenna looked up, puzzled, "What?"

"You really didn't know? Among the freshmen, it's between you and that Carolyn something. She's been publicly challenging you, saying you're not in her league."

Morwenna just nodded and continued with her meal, now understanding the curious glances.

Keira, ever the staunch supporter, quickly added, "That Carolyn whatever doesn't hold a candle to you, Wenna."

Lorna, puzzled, asked, "Scaredy-cat, you don't know who Carolyn something is?"

Keira blushed, "I know her. Carolyn Nelson. But anyone who messes with Wenna is someone I'd rather not know."

Lorna couldn't help but laugh, "Scaredy-cat, you've gotten braver living in our dorm, haven't you?"

Keira wanted to say her courage had nothing to do with Lorna, but she kept silent.

The mention of Carolyn Nelson struck a chord with Morwenna. It took her a moment to recall that after she publicly acknowledged her affection for Stuart and received some reciprocation, some of the daughters from Rosefrost Hollow's influential families had started to stir.

Orson had mentioned two families in particular that were well-matched with the Hetfields and to watch out for.

One was Jemima Vaughn from the Vaughn family, Dr. Vaughn's sister, who had always been shy around Stuart. The other was Carolyn from the Nelson family.

Dahlia spoke up, "Morwenna, don't worry. We're all behind you."

The atmosphere around the table shifted slightly at Dahlia's words.

Dahlia had always been the type to stay out of the limelight, helping Morwenna with small matters but never stepping into anything too substantive.

This approach was understandable; after all, they were just acquaintances, and any help was appreciated.

However, since discovering Morwenna's true status, Dahlia had been noticeably more eager to please.

This change left everyone feeling a bit uneasy.

Morwenna shook her head, "It's fine. I don't care about these things. I don't want to compete."

But when Lorna mentioned, "Wenna,

are you out of your mind? Being Homecoming Queen at Rosefrost University could get you into special events and even scholarships. You're giving up on that?"

The mention of scholarships lit a fire in Morwenna's eyes.

"Compete? For Homecoming Queen? Count me in!"

Lorna roared with laughter, Keira giggled behind her hands, and Dahlia looked puzzled.

Despite being married to Stuart and favored by Norbert, positioning her high within the Hetfield family, Morwenna couldn't overlook the allure of a scholarship. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
