At Rosefrost University, Morwenna followed Dahlia back to their dorm room. As soon as they entered, Dahlia locked the door to ensure their conversation would remain private.
Morwenna stood there, not even bothering to sit down, and said, "Just get to the point." She seemed ready to leave the moment Dahlia finished speaking. Seeing Morwenna's impatience, Dahlia stiffened slightly. Morwenna was usually patient, even with someone as unreasonable as Lorna. She could spend ages trying to reason with her.
Dahlia sensed a change in Morwenna's attitude towards her and felt a pang of discomfort. "Look, I've already promised to replace your phone. It's not about the money," Dahlia reiterated, but Morwenna didn’t soften, replying coldly, "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."
Dahlia was irritated. "Wait!" Morwenna looked at her, unmoved.
Dahlia, frustrated but persistent, said, "It's about what we discussed earlier. Don’t dismiss me just yet. I know you need money, and the Scott family can provide. How much do you need to agree to help?"
Dahlia had reassessed her opinion of Morwenna. Despite marrying into the Hetfield family, Morwenna seemed to be short on cash, likely because she didn’t want to spend the Hetfield's money. Perhaps it was to maintain her pride or to prove she wasn’t after their wealth.
"I'm offering you a straightforward deal. I don’t believe you’ll turn it down. After all, you seem to be someone who values money," Dahlia thought.
