How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 366

Samantha's little sidekick immediately stepped forward, offering a towel with an obsequious smile, "You're too kind, Ashley. And as for Morwenna, she's just a few words in a sentence. Coming from a small town, it's no wonder her stories feel so authentic. But she doesn't hold a candle to you, Ashley."

"Exactly, in terms of looks, background, depth—she doesn't compare. Are these people voting blind?"

Had Lorna been there, she'd have pointed right at their noses and given them a piece of her mind. How could they even suggest that Morwenna wasn't as attractive?

Morwenna was stunning, the kind of beauty that would make even a ghost pause—naturally radiant, the kind that woke up looking gorgeous, not the fabricated beauty crafted by cosmetic procedures and meticulous makeup.

Samantha wiped her hands with the towel and stood up, saying calmly, "Let's go see this Morwenna. Since she's thrown her hat into the ring, it's worth taking a look."

"Yeah, let's see if she can keep her head up in front of our Ashley."

Samantha smiled.

Morwenna, huh?

She was curious to see for herself.

To catch the eye of Grandpa Norbert and openly vie for Stuart's affection and still be standing tall? She must be worth a glance.

Previously, Samantha hadn't given Stuart a second thought—partly because she was just a student far from his league, and partly because Stuart was known to keep his distance from women, with only Adelaide managing to get somewhat close.

But times had changed. Stuart seemed different lately; Rosefrost Hollow was buzzing with rumors of him being seen with various women. Everyone speculated he might be looking to settle down.

If Morwenna, a student with nothing to her name, could pursue him, why couldn't she, the heiress of the Nelson family?

Perhaps Mr. Hetfield had a soft spot for young, vibrant students like them.

After all, the Nelsons and the Hetfields had always been on good terms.

Samantha figured Morwenna must be aware of her too, seeing her as a competitor.

Not for the title of school beauty, but for Stuart's heart.

When she had declared that Morwenna had no chance against her, she wasn't talking about a superficial title but about winning Stuart.
