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.

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!"
