How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 405

Morwenna had seen right through them from the start; the Hetfields were all about the money. She made it clear that she was only there to see Norbert Hetfield, without any intention of causing trouble. After all, she wasn't Stuart, posing no threat to them whatsoever. Morwenna fixed her gaze on Phineas, aware that he now called the shots in the Hetfield household.

Yara voiced her dissatisfaction, "We can't let her in. Morwenna would never hurt a fly. Dad's getting old, his mind's not what it used to be, and he's treating this outsider better than his own blood. Letting her in will only stir the pot."

Sabrina looked at her son, blood trickling down Ryan's neck, staining his white T-shirt a deep red. But Sabrina hesitated. Yara wasn't entirely wrong; at this point, letting Morwenna in could indeed create more problems.

Their relationship with their son Ryan had always been lukewarm. If it hadn't been for Reuben Hetfield's incident, they wouldn't have harbored any expectations for Ryan. They had two sons, but over the years, their attention and resources had been largely focused on Reuben, with Ryan merely being there.

Now, with Reuben involved in a kidnapping and homicide, no amount of money could clear his name with Stuart in the picture. Reuben's future was effectively ruined. Now, all they had left was Ryan. Was this son worth all the trouble?

Seeing the hesitation on his mother's face, Ryan felt a deep sense of desolation. Didn't they understand that a peaceful family life was far better? Why was everyone so focused on personal gain, calculating even when it came to family?

Then, Phineas spoke up, "Alright, Morwenna, release Ryan, and I'll let you see Norbert. Just don't try anything funny. My men will be watching you closely. Of course, if you choose to stay with Norbert, you're committing to it fully."
