Chapter 193
From start to finish, Stuart didn’t breathe a word about his kidnapping ordeal.
Which rendered all of Phineas‘ prepared countermeasures useless.
Just like that, Stuart to put an end to the dispute.
Nobody could rein Stuart in, except for Norbert.
Thus, all eyes tumed to Norbert, but he seemed to have tacitly agreed with Stuart’s decision, remaining silent.
Reuben, with his head covered in blood, looked around in panic, no longer screaming, but called out in terror, “Mom, Dad, help me, I need to go to the hospital!”
Phineas said nothing, his face full of displeasure,.
Without Stuart even mentioning the kidnapping and embezzlement, just with his attempt to harm Norbert, Reuben was already finished, beyond saving.
Fortunately, fortunately… he still had another son.
As long as he himself wasn’t dragged down, there was still a chance.
Sabrina slumped to the ground, silently weeping, turning her head away from her eldest son.
Reuben finally realized he was abandoned, wailing heartrendingly, before being knocked out cold by a swift backhand from one of Stuart’s bodyguards.
The efficiency of the action made everyone’s eyelids twitch.
With Reuben taken care of, Stuart said indifferently, “Alright, Phineas, Sabrina, time to move out. I have a short temper, and I’d prefer if you stay out of my sight from now on.”
Phineas and Sabrina knew there was no chance of retaliation today.
Because Norbert was backing Stuart.
Continuing this debacle and angering Norbert could result in him transferring all his shares to Stuart, which would truly spell doom for them.
Wiping away her tears and hiding the malice in her eyes, Sabrina looked towards Stuart and said, “Stuart, we understand we’ve done wrong and will move out. But your little cousin is innocent; he was at his tutoring classes and knew nothing. Norbert’s health is deteriorating, and I hope you won’t prevent him from visiting in the future.”
Stuart glanced at Norbert and nodded slightly.
He disliked all of them, but he wouldn’t stop Norbert from seeing his grandchildren.
Stuart’s frosty stare then landed on Yara as he asked, “What about you, auntie? Gonna walk out on your own, or need someone to show you the door?”
Every time Stuart called her ‘auntie, Yara felt a chill run down her spine.
Yara, somewhat afraid but defiant, said, “Stuart, this is my house, what right do you have to kick me out? Dad’s health is failing, and by driving us all away, what are you trying to do? Hog the Hetfield fortune all to yourself?”
Stuart, impatient to argue, simply ordered, “Keegan, take her to the nursing home.”
Stuart had two highly skilled bodyguards, Keaton and Keegan.
They were both sons of Oswald Brown, and brothers to Orson Brown.
Keaton was the smart one. Keegan, the steady one. And Orson… the straightforward one.
Upon receiving the command, Keegan approached Yara.
Yara let out a scream, “Don’t touch me! If anything happens to the baby in my womb, you can’t afford the consequences!”
Yara’s vehement resistance made Keegan hesitate to apply too much force.
A pregnant woman of seven months could indeed face complications with too much rough handling.
Leveraging her condition, Yara suddenly found her courage and made a scene.
Right at that moment, Morwenna made her return.
Morwenna had been on her way back when she called Stuart, arriving sooner than he had anticipated.
Hearing the commotion outside, Stuart’s expression slightly changed.
Although he didn’t mind Morwenna knowing about his darker side, he didn’t want her to witness such a grisly scene firsthand.

Chapter 193
Morwenna, hearing the screams, burst through the door.
Orson couldn’t stop her.
Keaton and Keegan both shot a frustrated look at Orson, their naive brother.
Orson felt helpless; the young mistress‘ combativeness was a challenge for not only him, but likely both his older brothers too.
Upon entering, Morwenna was met with the chaotic scene.
