How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 97

Morwenna couldn't help but glance back at Stuart.

The words she had blurted out in desperation now filled her with regret.

Stuart wasn't hers, and he clearly held Adelaide in higher regard than her.

He also expressed wanting to keep their marriage secret, she shouldn't have brought it up.

Yet, when confronted by Adelaide, Stuart just admitted it.

What was he thinking?

The Hetfields were utterly stunned.

Phineas and his wife exchanged a knowing look, their eyes flickering with calculation.

Yara nearly snapped her new bracelet in shock.

They had anticipated a dramatic showdown between the two women.

After all, Adelaide had been the only woman by Stuart's side in recent years.

Who would have guessed it would end this simply and decisively?

Even Norbert raised an eyebrow.

Adelaide truly crumbled in that instant. Her budding fighting spirit shattered completely.

She had thought there was still a chance.

She had assumed Morwenna was just a maid, never imagining she could be Stuart’s wife.

Stuart was married, and not to her.

It was the cruelest joke in the world.

What was she to do now?

Her five years of youth! Her complete devotion! All her hopes!

What was she supposed to do?

Every member of the Hetfield family was watching her, making her feel like an absolute farce.

Adelaide cried out in anguish, "Why? Stuart, tell me why? I've waited for you for so long, I love you so much, I can’t believe you never cared for me!"
