Keira's heart tightened, and her voice carried a hint of nervousness. "It's... it's okay."
Fortunately, Keira was naturally timid and often stuttered when she spoke, so Dahlia didn't notice anything unusual.
After a moment, Dahlia added, "You do have foresight, being the eldest daughter of the Phillips family. Befriending Morwenna could be beneficial for the Phillips family in the future."
Keira hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back.
She hadn't told her family about Morwenna.
And she certainly hadn't considered leveraging their friendship for any gain.
Dahlia continued, oblivious, "I've always been good to Morwenna. Sharing a dorm room must be fate. If any of us has a problem, we should all help each other out, right?"
Keira thought to herself that Dahlia probably meant that if the Scott family needed something, it was only right for Morwenna to lend a hand.
Besides, she didn't believe in fate. Her living with Morwenna wasn't destiny; she had made sure they would be roommates long before returning to school. After all, how else would a sophomore end up living with a freshman?
Keira had a lot on her mind but said nothing.
Seeing Keira's silence, Dahlia inwardly scoffed at the thought of a Phillips heiress too timid to even make eye contact while speaking.
Their conversation was interrupted as Morwenna and Lorna arrived, struggling with a bookshelf.
After several trips, they finally managed to move all the old shelves.
Sweaty and breathless, Morwenna hadn't even caught her breath when a crowd started to gather.
"Hey, you're Morwenna, right?"
Morwenna, puzzled, didn't recognize any of them.
