How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 411

Phineas's face grew darker with each passing moment.

Suddenly, Morwenna's voice, hoarse with urgency, pierced through the tension, "Orson."

The stream of curses from Orson's end of the phone abruptly stopped.

Seconds later, his voice turned to one of surprised delight, "Ah! Mrs. Hetfield! What a surprise! How are you calling me from Phineas's phone? Oh, I see. Mrs. Hetfield, did you finally deal with that scoundrel Phineas? And what about Norbert? How's Norbert doing?"

Phineas's complexion darkened even more, turning thunderous.

Fearing the call might end prematurely, Morwenna quickly asked, "Orson, why did Norbert Hetfield suddenly become ill?"

"Why would you ask that all of a sudden, Mrs. Hetfield?"

"Did Stuart do something?" Morwenna demanded through gritted teeth.

Orson had arrived too late to grasp what had happened, but the tension between Norbert and Mr. Hetfield was evident, as if they had argued.

Subsequently, Mr. Hetfield left abruptly without any explanation.
