How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

At that moment, Morwenna's eyes were filled with a fierce determination. Although she knew these bodyguards were just innocent pawns carrying out orders, her desperation had subtly altered her mindset. As one of the guards turned to open the door and call for help, Morwenna released the person she was holding and quietly stood her ground, waiting. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Phineas arrived more quickly than Morwenna had expected, almost as if he had been waiting just outside; the moment the guard stepped out, he entered. Before Morwenna could say a word, Phineas remarked with a detached air, "What are you stirring up now? I was actually looking for you."

His voice was loud enough to make Morwenna frown and glance towards Norbert Hetfield. She lowered her voice and said, "Let's talk in the study."

"Lead the way."

Phineas was well aware of Morwenna's capabilities, but he didn't bother calling for backup. As long as Norbert was there, Morwenna wouldn't dare to act rashly. Once inside the study, Phineas asked, "What do you want from me? Are you tired of all this and thinking of leaving? Remember what I told you a few days ago? Once you're in, there's no turning back halfway."

Morwenna shook her head, "I'm not leaving. Just give me back my phone. I need to make a call and find a better doctor."

Phineas scoffed, "Don't waste your efforts. You already have the best doctors in the country. Or is this really about finding a doctor, or are you trying to contact Stuart?"

Morwenna hesitated, "Yes, I want to contact Stuart. I have every reason to suspect you're deliberately not treating Norbert Hetfield properly. I need Stuart; he will know how to save Norbert! What, are you hiding something, is that why you're stopping me from contacting him?"

"Ha, contact Stuart! Morwenna, do you know why Norbert suddenly fell ill?"

Morwenna frowned; she had no idea.

Phineas's eyes gleamed with a malicious glint, "It was because of Stuart! Orson saw it with his own eyes. After talking to Stuart, Norbert was so enraged he coughed up blood, which led to his condition. Sure, we're no saints, but do you think Stuart is any better? He's a monster, darker than any of us!"

As Phineas spoke, his disdain was unmistakable. He couldn't help but recall seeing a young Stuart behind bars—a monster who, despite years of abuse, had survived, only to wreak havoc within the Hetfield family. Morwenna, he thought, wasn't ruthless enough. If it were up to him, not even Stuart's ashes would be left.

Morwenna felt as if she had been pierced by sharp thorns, causing her to flinch with pain.

"You're lying. Stuart wouldn't harm Norbert Hetfield."

"Oh? You think I'm lying? Orson, who witnessed everything, isn't one to lie. Tell you what, I'll be the good guy here. I'll let you talk to Orson, and you can ask him yourself if I'm lying."

With that, Phineas made a call, putting it on speaker after it connected: "Get Orson on the phone."

After Phineas spoke, a series of loud clashes and curses erupted from the phone, "You heartless bastards, Norbert is ill, and you're still plotting? Have you no conscience? Yara, you damn traitor! Phineas, you're lower than a dog!"
