Before Yara could get angry, Morwenna frowned at Phineas and asked, “Are we still going to grab that thing?” Phineas, with a swift motion, pulled Yara aside and nodded, “Yes, we’re leaving now!” Yara, heavily pregnant, almost stumbled from the sudden tug, suppressing a wave of frustration that welled up inside her.
Morwenna gave Yara a cold glance and followed Phineas out of the mansion. It was only after Morwenna had gotten into the car that Yara snapped back to reality, a chill running down her spine from the look Morwenna had given her, eerily reminiscent of that madman Stuart's glare.
When Phineas returned, Yara confronted him, trying to hide her anger, “Big brother, what are you getting Morwenna involved in? Don’t forget, I was the one who called you back this time.”
“Leah, let’s not keep secrets from each other. If there’s a gain, you’ll definitely have your share, including the Hetfield family’s stocks. Morwenna is still useful for now, so it’s best not to provoke her. Just a few more days.”
Hearing that the shares would include her, Yara’s frown turned into a smile. “I knew you cared for me the most, big bro. Alright, I’ll lay off her for now.”
“Just focus on your pregnancy and wait for the good times ahead.”
“Got it, I’ll listen to you, big bro.”
Sabrina, watching from a distance, couldn’t hide her disdain. For people in their forties, still playing the ‘big brother loves me best’ card—how revolting!
Sabrina was a shrewd woman, usually able to see things from Phineas’s perspective, even helping him strategize at times. But with anything involving Yara, her patience wore thin. From the day she married into the Hetfield family, Yara had been nothing but trouble, always finding reasons to pick a fight. Sabrina, maintaining her dignity as a sister-in-law, endured it all. But Yara, spoiled by the family, acted as if the entire Hetfield clan owed her the world.
