How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 455

Phineas stood firmly by Sabrina's side, leaving Yara, who fancied herself the favorite of the family, feeling quite sidelined.

She continued to nitpick, "Even if Dad were alive, it wouldn't be that simple. Morwenna wouldn’t hand over the shares so easily."

Sabrina cast a cold glance at Yara’s belly before shifting her gaze. "I don’t think it’s that hard. We can use a little persuasion or pressure. With Stuart away and Norbert practically a living ghost, we can do whatever we want with Morwenna, can't we?"

Yara opened her mouth to argue further.

"Enough, Yara," Phineas cut her off decisively. "You don't understand these things, so it's best to stay quiet. We'll do it this way. I'll arrange for someone to bring Morwenna back. In hindsight, we should never have handed her over to Claude."

They had given Morwenna to Claude in exchange for his promised support. But Claude only held a meager five percent of the shares, while Morwenna had a full twenty percent!

Phineas, in a rush, started making arrangements to find Morwenna.

Yara and Sabrina continued their mutual disdain.

Yara glared at Sabrina, "Don't get too smug, Sabrina. My brother isn’t on your side. Phineas promised me a share in the Hetfield Group once everything settles down. And you? What do you have?"

Sabrina chuckled, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Always going on about Phineas. Anyone would think he’s your husband, not your brother. Yara, you’re old enough to know better. Keep some distance between siblings, especially in the Hetfield family. There are precedents, after all."

Sabrina hinted at an inappropriate relationship between Yara and her brother.

Yara was so furious that her belly seemed to tighten. "Sabrina, if you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll tear that mouth of yours apart!"

"Why so worked up? You might upset the baby, and then you'd blame me!"

Yara clearly couldn’t outtalk Sabrina.

She longed to give Sabrina a piece of her mind, but carrying her son, she dared not act recklessly.

Their argument ended without any resolution.

But Phineas hadn't anticipated what happened next.

Two hours later, two of the bodyguards returned, looking defeated, clearly having taken a beating.

"What happened? Where is she?" Phineas demanded, his voice icy.

"Mr. Hetfield, Claude was unbelievably audacious. We went to retrieve Morwenna, and he wouldn’t even let us inside."

"And then there was Orson. We simply requested for Morwenna to come with us, and he attacked us without a word. That brute, Orson! What do you suggest we do now, Mr. Hetfield?"

Phineas frowned, "You said Orson was there as well?"

The bodyguard, sporting a swollen eye, nodded hastily. "Yes, it was him who hit the hardest. He refused to let us approach. All six of us were injured. We couldn’t force our way inside, so I left four men to watch the villa’s entrances while the two of us came back to report."

Despite his anger, Phineas felt a bit relieved after hearing the report.
