### Reactions at Rosefrost University
The news spread like wildfire, and reactions varied widely among the people who knew them.
At Rosefrost University, Barclay was so shocked by the news that his jaw nearly hit the floor. Meanwhile, Campbell Green was watching the live feed, and his face turned ashen when he saw that the person aggressively confronting Morwenna was none other than his own brother.
"Has he lost his mind?" Campbell thought. "Leading the charge in spreading rumors and hounding Morwenna-what is he thinking?"
Without wasting a second, Campbell dialed his brother's number and gave him an earful, not holding back his anger.
Keira Phillips, upon hearing the news, wasn't concerned about shares or financial gains. Her thoughts were solely on Morwenna, knowing how much Norbert meant to her.
Over in another corner, Dahlia Scott's composed façade cracked when she saw the trending topic. How could Morwenna be so lucky? Dahlia considered how the entire Scott family's worth couldn't match the value of that twenty percent stake. She regretted the rift that had formed between her and Morwenna and wondered if there was still time to mend it.
As if on cue, her father called, his voice stern, instructing her to repair her relationship with Morwenna immediately.
Meanwhile, Carolyn Nelson was riding a wave of popularity due to her leadership in organizing various club activities. She had showcased her prowess in dance, painting, and music, causing her popularity to soar. She seemed poised to overshadow Morwenna for the title of campus queen.
However, her moment of pride was shattered upon seeing the news. Her phone almost slipped from her hand. Stuart and Morwenna were already married! No wonder Stuart had appeared at the courier service opening that day. Carolyn's face flushed with embarrassment, realizing how futile her attempts to catch Stuart's attention had been. She felt like the butt of a cruel joke.
The buzz about Morwenna and Stuart was on everyone's lips throughout Rosefrost Hollow. Discussions about the Hetfield Group shares and Norbert were rampant. People marveled at Morwenna's apparent fortune, joking that she must have saved the world in a past life to be so blessed now.
From a student needing financial aid to a key shareholder in the Hetfield Group, her story seemed too fantastical even for a fairy tale.
### At Hetfield's Homestead
Meanwhile, at Hetfield's Homestead, the atmosphere was heavy with tension. The family members were gathered, and the mood was somber.
Phineas was fuming. "Damn it, damn it all! The old fool's gone and written a will, leaving shares to an outsider!"
"You're all useless! You've been around the old man this whole time and ended up with nothing."
No one dared to speak up against Phineas's outburst.
Yara, seething with anger, slapped Rose Hetfield across the face. "Didn't you say Morwenna had fallen out of favor? Weren't you sure you'd get what you wanted when you came back?" swnovel
Rose kept her head down, her eyes filled with resentment. Whether her anger was directed at Norbert for favoring Morwenna or at Yara for striking her in public was unclear. swnovel
Then, Sabrina, ever the shrewd one, spoke up. "Calm down, everyone. A will only matters once someone passes away. Dad's still alive, so the will ist effective yet. We just need to replace Morwenna before it takes effect and convince her to give up the shares." swnovel
Phineas considered her words, replaceing them reasonable. Norbert hadn't passed away yet; they just needed to ensure he remained alive until they secured the shares.
Yara, unable to resist a jab at her sister-in-law, retorted, "With Dad's health as it is, that might not be certain."
Phineas's eyes darkened as he replied, "Not might-definitely! Dad's not going anywhere until we get what we deserve!"
