Chapter 367
She had always been aware of Morwenna, but her pride had kept her from ever stooping to meet her. Now, as they both vied for the title of Prom Queen, she begrudgingly decided to pay a visit.
She had assumed that Morwenna would have heard of her by now and would be plotting ways to surpass her. To her surprise, Morwenna didn't even know who she was.
Seeing Morwenna not speaking and looking serious, Carolyn said, "Hey, do you need something? If not, could you move aside? I'm kinda in a hurry. Got classes this afternoon."
Carolyn: "..."
Carolyn's entourage couldn't hold back, one of them bursting out, "Morwenna, open your eyes wide and see who you're talking to. This is Carolyn Nelson, the Nelson family's heiress. How dare you not recognize her!"
"You've got the guts to compete against Carolyn for Prom Queen and now you pretend not to know her?"
"Morwenna, look at yourself, reeking of thrift shop vibes. How do you even compare to Carolyn?"
Carolyn didn't stop these remarks. Usually, she'd put on a gentle front to maintain the poise expected of a Nelson family heiress. But Morwenna's ignorance had infuriated her.
At this, Morwenna finally connected the dots. Carolyn. The girl after her boyfriend!
Morwenna, initially polite, lost her patience, "What do I care about the Nelson family? Why should I know you? You're blocking the way. The school's hallways are wide enough, please move aside, I'm busy here."
Not far away, Dahlia paused. She had seen Morwenna about to finish her delivery job and was coming over when she saw Carolyn's group blocking Morwenna. Being on good terms with the Hetfield family, the Nelsons were not a family to mess with either.
From a distance, Dahlia watched the unfolding drama between Morwenna and Carolyn. Dahlia stayed back, not wanting to offend the Nelsons. Carolyn, irked by Morwenna, coldly said, "So, Morwenna, you really want to challenge me?"
Morwenna wasn't sure if Carolyn meant the Prom Queen title or fighting over Stuart. But thinking it over, the Prom Queen title came with a scholarship, and Stuart was already hers.
Copying Stuart's disdainful tone, Morwenna declared, "Of course, I will!"
Carolyn, half-amused, half-angry, retorted, "Fine, we'll see about that.”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Morwenna pushed her cart away, head held high, and left.
Carolyn watched her leave, then turned to her followers, "Gather everyone you can. Money's no object, but I must be this year's Prom Queen!" "Don't worry, Carolyn, no one can outshine you."
“We'll take care of everything. This nobody, even with some support now, won't have it when it truly matters. Let's see who backs her then.”
As Morwenna and Carolyn went their separate ways, Dahlia was about to approach when Campbell, the Vice President of the Student Council and a member of the Green family, rushed towards Morwenna.
Dahlia frowned. Morwenna always seemed to attract the attention of these powerful family members. Was she looking to marry into the Hetfield family and thus disregarded everyone else?
Dahlia's perception of Morwenna
had shifted. She used to think well of
Morwenna, even helping her at times, respecting her dignity. But ever since Morwenna married into the Hetfield family, Dahlia couldn't bear to see Morwenna doing better than her.
When Morwenna was poor, Dahlia wished her well. But now, as part of the Hetfield family, Dahlia resented Morwenna's good fortune. Dahlia stopped, deciding not to get involved and avoid trouble.
At that moment, Keira, coming over for a fan club matter, caught Dahlia's envious gaze towards Morwenna. Keira paused, recognizing the look all too well. It was the same look Sandra and the others had given her, a look that said, "How do you deserve this? How do you deserve to be born into the Phillips family?"
