How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 269

Morwenna had made her way to the center of the stage.

Dressed in a silver gown that seemed to have been woven from moonbeams, her long hair partially tied back with a pearl-studded headband, and her feet adorned with beige leather flats, her porcelain skin and delicate makeup made her the epitome of a pampered princess.

The crowd was instantly dazzled.

Just a few hours earlier, when someone had stirred up trouble, Morwenna had been there too. But back then, everyone was too caught up in the gossip, and Morwenna, donned in an old dress, had hardly caught anyone's attention based on her looks.

Now, seeing Morwenna on stage, everyone was taken aback by her beauty.

They couldn't help but feel guilty, wondering if they had been too harsh on Morwenna, treating her like some villain to be attacked.

She was just a lovely young lady, looking so endearing, so innocent, that even if she had made a mistake, it wasn't something that couldn't be forgiven.

Morwenna had no idea just how important appearance was nowadays.

A simple makeover had softened many a heart.

Except for Stuart, nobody knew the hardships Morwenna had faced in her life.

Standing on stage, addressing such a large audience for the first time, Morwenna felt nervous.

Taking a deep breath, she pictured the audience as the children from the mountains she knew so well, which helped ease her nerves significantly.

Morwenna's voice, pure and serene, began to fill the space.

The principal, sitting next to Stuart, was keen on striking up a conversation, an opportunity rarely afforded. But Stuart's attention was wholly captivated by Morwenna, compelling the principal to fall silent and watch.
