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 turned 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.
