How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 407

At that moment, Yara, with her prominent baby bump, strutted in. Witnessing the deep bond between grandfather and granddaughter, Yara scoffed disdainfully.

With a mocking tone, Yara remarked, “Dad, how can you still be so naive at your age? Do you really believe someone isn’t after your money? Look at Morwenna, coming back just in time, thinking she can get a piece of the pie. Dream on! Honestly, Dad, just let go. Money comes and goes; you can’t take it with you when you die. What’s the point in hoarding it? When push comes to shove, it’s us who will inherit everything.”

Norbert remained unfazed, his breathing steady as if he had grown accustomed to such expectations from his children, having lost hope in them long ago.

Yara then made her way to the small study in Norbert’s room, searching for the safe. She tried various combinations in vain, her frustration mounting. Storming out of the study, she vented, “Always hiding things. It’s like you’re planning to take it all to the grave. I just don’t get it.”

Morwenna snapped back in a hushed roar, “Shut up!”

Yara, taken aback, turned to Norbert and said, “Look at that, Dad. An outsider yelling at a member of the Hetfield family, acting as if she’s one of us. And that’s just what you see. Who knows what she’s been up to since you fell ill? Going about her life as if nothing happened, leaving me and Phineas to care for you. We even hired the best doctor from Rosefrost Hollow.”

Indeed, Yara and Phineas had secured a renowned doctor, though they knew well that no physician could change the inevitable. Their facade of filial piety was merely for show, hoping Norbert would willingly hand over his shares. That way, Stuart, the eldest grandson, could be left out of the inheritance.
