Norbert darkened his face as he said, "When Stuart gets back, I'll get to the bottom of this."

Phineas shook his head in disagreement, "Dad, who knows when Stuart will return. How long are you willing to wait? Hetfield Group can't be left unattended."

Yara, visibly pregnant, chimed in, "Dad, we all know you feel that the Hetfield family owes Stuart a lot, but at the end of the day, it's not our concern. You've been favoring him for years now. It's enough. Reuber is quite capable. Maybe it's time to let him manage Hetfield family affairs."

Yara wasn't particularly fond of Reuben, but to her, anyone was better than Stuart, who seemed quite unhinged.

Reuben took a few confident steps forward. "Grandpa, you're not getting any younger. Why cling to the reins of the Hetfield family? It's time for the younger generation to take over."

With Stuart absent, everyone in the Hetfield family seemed a bit more emboldened.

Norbert's authority was unshaken as he retorted, "Have you all conspired to usurp me?"

The room fell into a tense silence, the air thick with unspoken words.

Reuben clenched his teeth and insisted, "How could that be? We're all family. I'm just worried that Stuart has been too reckless for too long, risking the stability of Hetfield Group." His words carried an implicit threat.
