How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 4

The crowd paused, then erupted into laughter.

Talking manners with these folks was a real hoot.-

Their words became even harsher.

"Shameless! Are you trying to sneak into Windcharm Villas as a maid to be Mr. Hetfield’s woman?"

"And look at you, thinking you can get close to Mr. Hetfield. Who do you think you are?"

"Oh, Adelaide's only been gone a few days, and you’re already making a move on Mr. Hetfield. You can’t hold a candle to Adelaide."

"Get lost. Don't let us see your face around here anymore."

These young men were experts at bullying.

It was because Stuart hadn’t stepped in, and with Morwenna's outfit, no one would associate her with Stuart. They assumed she was a new maid trying to catch Stuart's eye with her odd behavior.

During this exchange, a man in a floral shirt walked over and shoved Morwenna.

Carrying too much luggage, she couldn’t dodge and staggered.

She took a deep breath, her anger simmering. She sensed disrespect, disdain, and contempt from their words and actions. But she didn’t see why she should be scorned.

She tolerated Stuart because of Norbert’s kindness, but these strangers had no right to lay hands on her.

The man in the floral shirt saw the defiance in Morwenna's eyes and splashed his drink toward her.

In a swift move, Morwenna dropped her suitcase, grabbed his wrist, and the drink swayed, a few drops trickling down her hand.

Morwenna stared at him, snapping, "If you dare touch me again, I will fight back."

Morwenna was kind and gentle, but she was no coward.

Are these men trying to hurt her? She’d fight back.

Once, she had gone into the woods to gather herbs and encountered a wild boar. The boar tried to hurt her, and she managed to kill it even with two broken ribs.

Why would she fear men if she wasn’t afraid of a wild boar?
