How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 251

Lorna had a point.

Their room only housed four people.

Dahlia hailed from the influential Scott family - no one dared cross her, and Lorna herself was untouchable. Morwenna was doing just fine, which left Keira as the only one with a target on her back.

Morwenna couldn't bear the thought of timid Keira being bullied. What would they reduce her to?

Seeing Morwenna hesitate, Lorna, with a mix of awkwardness and defiance, blurted out, "Sorry!"

But the tone and the stance were anything but apologetic. It sounded more like a challenge to a duel than an apology.

Morwenna, still pondering Keira's whereabouts, was startled by Lorna's loud 'sorry'.

Lorna, noticing Morwenna's sharp gaze, lost a bit of her swagger.

She continued, "We agreed - lose the fight, apologize. So, that's my apology. But don't think for a second I'm okay with losing. I was unprepared last time, underestimated you. But I'm not convinced. Morwenna, if you're so tough, let's have another go!"

Morwenna wasn't fond of Lorna for two reasons: Lorna's rudeness and her not keeping her word. But Lorna had apologized.

This cleared up most of Morwenna's resentment.

Concerned for Keira and putting aside her issues with Lorna, Morwenna grabbed Lorna's hand and sprinted, "We can fight later, first, take me to Keira."

Lorna stumbled, dragged along by Morwenna, and grumbled, "Holy cow, Morwenna, are you secretly a linebacker? Since when did you get so strong?"

"Didn't you say someone was messing with her? Who told you? Hurry, take me there," Morwenna urged, her voice tinged with desperation.

Morwenna sensed something was wrong with Keira, who hadn't been answering her calls. Reflecting on the past few days, she realized Keira had been acting off, increasing her worry.

Lorna, feeling like a giant being led by a pint-sized powerhouse, protested as her face turned red, "Morwenna, let go! I can walk by myself!"

The girl snapped back, "What are you doing? You're ruining my view of the game. What trouble? What Freshman Representative? Are you out of your minds?"

Confused, Morwenna thought they had the wrong person.

Lorna impatiently asked, "What about Keira? Is someone after her?"

The girl's demeanor shifted slightly but she remained irritated, "I don't know any Keira. You've got the wrong person. I'm going back to the game."

Morwenna was naive, but not foolish. She noticed the girl's brief panic at the mention of Keira's name.

So, someone was indeed targeting Keira, but not because of Morwenna.

But why? Keira was too timid to offend anyone. She'd struggle to even raise her voice.
