Phineas was practically bouncing on his toes. "Let's go," he urged.

Morwenna rose, trailing after Phineas as they left the house.

Keeping a respectful distance, Phineas mentioned, "I've arranged for some bodyguards to accompany you to fetch the items."

"No need. Windcharm Villas isn't just any place; it's well-guarded. If you bring bodyguards and something goes wrong, I won't be held responsible."

Phineas frowned, realizing she had a point. Windcharm Villas was even more secure than Hetfield's Homestead, often referred to as a little fortress. If it wasn't so well-protected, he would've retrieved the items himself and wouldn't need Morwenna's help. After a moment's consideration, Phineas nodded. "Alright then, you go by yourself. I'll arrange transportation for you, and I'll look after Norbert back at the mansion."

Unfazed by Phineas's veiled threat, Morwenna's expression remained unchanged.

It had been days since Morwenna had been downstairs. As she descended, she noticed Lorna's absence and halted. "Phineas, let Lorna go. Keeping her here serves no purpose." "Don't worry about it. In a few days, I'll ensure she's released unharmed."

"Why bother? I bet Stuart isn't at Rosefrost Hollow right now. Even if Lorna talks, what could she possibly say? You've got the Hetfield family under your control, and I'll follow your plans. Keeping Lorna here only risks upsetting the Lamont family, potentially turning them against the Hetfields." Phineas hesitated but saw some logic in Morwenna's arguments.

Lorna's release, she immediately objected. "Let her go? Releasing her now could only cause more trouble. If anyone should be released, it should
