How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 345

Ruby's scream shattered the silence outside the study.

"Shut it!" Grandpa Henry barked sharply, his voice carrying authority. "Lock down the information. What happened here today doesn't leave this room."

No one dared to question Grandpa Henry's orders.

His face was a mask of displeasure, his eyes betraying pain and helplessness.

Was it Adelaide who had awakened the demon inside Stuart?

That woman was truly a curse.

Trouble was brewing!

Morwenna stood frozen in shock.

What had gotten into Stuart?

Stuart wasn't one to harm others, especially not Adelaide.

Adelaide had once saved Stuart. Despite everything wrong she had done, Stuart still wished her well.

But what was he doing now?

Morwenna murmured, "Stuart."

As if hearing a familiar voice, Stuart turned around.

Their eyes met.

Morwenna noticed Stuart's eyes were slightly red.

She had seen such a gaze before - like a wounded animal gone mad during a hunt in the mountains, devoid of emotion, devoid of reason.

Only rage and bloodlust remained, ready to tear and destroy.

Why had Stuart changed like this?

Was someone trying to hurt him?

Was it Adelaide?

The younger members of the Hetfield family all stepped back the moment Stuart turned.

Ryan, who usually admired Stuart, stepped back in fear.

Even the bodyguards who had accompanied Grandpa Henry didn't step forward.

This version of Stuart was beyond dangerous; his presence alone was suffocating, like being near him was a death sentence.

Normal people would flee from such a sight.
