How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 485

Morwenna dashed towards Greta, a sudden burst of energy animating her like never before. Previously unresponsive to anyone's calls, she now raced across the chaotic scene.

Greta, still in the midst of a brawl, glanced around with a sly grin, as if she'd just hit the jackpot.

Stuart, too engrossed in the unfolding drama to feel any jealousy towards Greta, held his breath, watching anxiously as Morwenna reached safety.

Meanwhile, Adelaide was losing her composure. Seeing Morwenna so close to escaping, she couldn't resist taking a few steps forward, reaching out to grab her.

Gunshots rang out.

One bullet grazed Adelaide's arm, forcing her to clutch the wound and retreat, helplessly watching as Morwenna made it to Greta's side. Fury boiled within her, wishing she could transform into a beast and tear Morwenna apart.

Greta, seeing Morwenna arrive, swiftly pulled her behind, shielding her with a protective arm. With the agility of someone used to wearing heels, she kicked away an attacker lunging towards them.

Stuart and others quickly formed a protective circle around Greta and Morwenna, creating a secure haven amid the chaos.

In that moment, Morwenna, heedless of the danger, urgently asked from behind Greta, "Greta, what did you just say? Norbert Hetfield isn't dead? Is it true?"

Greta looked puzzled. "Of course, it's true. Did someone tell you Norbert was dead?"

As she spoke, Greta shot a suspicious glance over at Brian.

Fletcher and the others turned their stern faces towards Brian as well.

Brian hastily shook his head. "Why are you all looking at me? I didn't say anything like that! Norbert's will was broadcast to everyone. Until Morwenna is found, Phineas would never let Norbert die. Everyone knows that!"
