How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 452

Everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, except for Orson, who seemed utterly unperturbed.

Previously, their entire family had been locked up by Phineas, but now that her uncle, father, and brothers had all escaped, there didn’t seem to be any reason to worry.

Attorney Wesley looked around at the group, who were now settled and calm, and nodded. "Alright, let's discuss what our next steps should be. Do any of you know how Stuart is doing?"

Matthew shook his head. "Jack and Fletcher went to find him, but we haven't heard anything yet."

In that remote area, there was no cell signal, and the skies were often shrouded in mist, so even regular signal flares might not be visible.

They hadn’t received any updates from their contacts on the outside, so the situation remained unclear.

Attorney Wesley frowned. "Until Stuart returns, it's up to you to ensure Morwenna's safety."

Matthew and Brian didn't protest this time.

Claude didn't object either, realizing he couldn't protect Morwenna alone.

Seeing no disagreement, Attorney Wesley laid out the plan.

"I'll hold onto Morwenna's will for a while. If nothing unexpected happens, Phineas and his group will come looking soon."

"Matthew and Brian, you need to take Morwenna and leave. Orson will stay with Claude to create the illusion that Morwenna is still here."

"Claude, you know they’ll do anything when pushed for their own gain. Your place is the first line of defense—stall them as long as you can."

Claude glanced at Morwenna with calm eyes and nodded. "I understand."

Attorney Wesley then turned to Brian and Matthew.
