How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 36

Morwenna pondered for a moment but decided to go to the amusement park with the ticket she had.

Whatever Barclay was up to, she figured she could handle it. "Come what may," she thought to herself.

As Morwenna walked away, a woman with heavy and smoky eye makeup behind Barclay implored, "Barclay, she's just a maid. Why not just give her a scare and be done with it? Why all this drama?"

Barclay shook his head, "You don't understand. Even if she's just a maid, she's one appointed by Norbert. Stuart can't be too harsh in his methods. Who among you would dare mess this up? This amusement park has some of the most terrifying rides in the country. We're just bringing her here for fun. If she winds up scared stiff or snagging a mental scar, that's on her, not on us."

"Barclay, you always think things through. That wench dared to flirt with Mr. Hetfield. She's done for."

It was Morwenna's first time at an amusement park. Despite knowing these people had ill intentions, she couldn’t help but feel a thrill of excitement.

After a few minor attractions, Barclay and his group led Morwenna to the haunted house.

This haunted house was famously frightening, with overly professional actors and scenes.

Many visitors came out shaken to their core.

Most of Barclay’s group were too scared to enter.

Only Barclay and Morwenna went in together.

As they stepped inside, the lights dimmed. A creepy and almost imperceptible music filled the air.

They hadn't walked far when a shriek rang out from another visitor.

Morwenna looked around, unafraid.

"What's so freaky about ghosts?"

As a child, after her mother passed away and her father disappeared, Morwenna heard that one could see ghosts at the graveyard. At five years old, she sneaked out to the graveyard at night, hoping to see her mother, even if as a ghost. Unfortunately, she saw nothing.

Suddenly, a scream pierced the air.

Morwenna was abruptly pushed, bumping into one of the actors and knocking off his fake arm.

She knew without a doubt that Barclay was behind it.

Quick-thinking, Morwenna grabbed the fake arm and ran after Barclay, hitting him with it.
