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."
