How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband

Chapter 486

Stuart felt a pang of bitterness but quickly explained, "Norbert isn't in Phineas's hands anymore. I've already moved him someplace safe."

Stuart had long known how important Norbert was to Morwenna, so he had taken precautions well in advance. As he orchestrated Morwenna's rescue, he also ensured Norbert's safety.

Phineas sneered, "Impossible. Stuart, are you lying to this woman again?"

Stuart stared icily at Phineas. "Impossible? Why don't you call and find out?"

Phineas's expression shifted, and he immediately dialed his phone. Whatever he heard on the other end only deepened his scowl.

Without needing further confirmation, everyone could guess what news the call had brought. Phineas, his face darkening, dialed another number.

As soon as the call connected, Phineas spat out angrily, "Ryan, you're my own son, and you dare betray me!"

On the other end, Ryan's voice was laden with sadness. "Dad, please stop this. We already have more than enough. The person who's seriously ill is your father, my grandfather. We shouldn't let our greed blind us to our family's welfare."
