Noah laughed all of a sudden, but the sound that came out of his throat was not a sound of joy.
It was a jagged, hollow laugh that was absolutely full of pain and disbelief. He really had not expected that his own mother would go as far as to threaten to ruin his entire life and reputation just because of Nick.
Even if he had always known that his parents favored one child over the other, he had never imagined that the gap would be this vast. He couldn't wrap his head around how it could be this bad, to the extent where he was treated like a piece of garbage while Nick was treated like a precious diamond.
Even Adam, who usually remained composed and cold, was completely flabbergasted by Celine's foul vow.
Listening to the woman's voice through the phone, he couldn't help but wonder if it was actually possible that Noah was not even their biological child.
