How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 363

"Just because I said I wasn’t competitive, doesn't mean I won't vie for a scholarship," Dahlia remarked, her tone tinged with disbelief.

She thought Morwenna just didn't get it. She didn't understand the magnitude of being part of the prestigious Hetfield family.

"To have the Hetfield name behind you, and still live so modestly," she couldn’t help but express her confusion to Morwenna. "Do you even grasp the scale of the Hetfield empire?" Dahlia pressed.

Morwenna nodded. "Of course, I do."

Initially, when they were just getting their marriage license, she had no clue. She thought the mansions at Windcharm Villas were akin to the fanciest houses in a quaint village, nothing more.

But now, she understood. The villas at Windcharm weren't something you could just buy with a wad of cash.

Dahlia frowned. "If you know, then why bother competing for 'Prom Queen' or stressing over a scholarship? It's pocket change to us."

For anyone born into wealth like them, a scholarship was hardly worth noting.

Morwenna was married to a Hetfield, why fuss over such trivialities?

"I really need the money," Morwenna explained earnestly. "Stuart is Stuart, and what’s mine is mine. I wouldn’t just take Stuart’s money without a second thought."

Even when she had borrowed from Stuart, she was determined to earn and pay him back.

From the get-go, Morwenna felt indebted to Stuart, marrying into the Hetfield family as a way to repay Norbert Hetfield's generosity. Learning of the family's wealth only amplified her feelings of unworthiness.

She believed she could only stand proudly beside Stuart if money wasn't part of their equation.

Dahlia scoffed internally, dismissing Morwenna's stance as pretentious.
