Chapter 414 Chapter 414: Beside her was Kyla, looking concerned as she patted Isabel's shoulder in a gesture of comfort and support.
"Noah, you're finally home! I thought you were going to abandon this family altogether for that woman!" Isabel's tone was sharp with fury.
Noah calmly seated himself across from her. "What seems to be the matter, Mother?" Isabel let out a bitter laugh before slamming the document onto the table. "See for yourself!" It was a paternity test report.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt only took Noah a brief glance to recognize the document. His expression remained blank as he reached for the report and tore it into pieces without a second's hesitation.
"If this is all you wanted to discuss, I'll be taking my leave," he said in a flat tone, as though the matter were of no consequence to him.
"Noah!" Isabel screamed. She grabbed a glass of water from the coffee table and hurled it to the floor. The sound of glass shattering rang out in the living room as the shards scattered across the tiles. "Why are you acting like this? You know full well that child isn't yours, and yet you still—” "Please, calm down, Isabel," Kyla interjected softly. "Noah is just confused. He'll caround." She stroked Isabel's back as she spoke, her cunning gaze flitting over to Noah. Isabel took a deep breath in an obvious attempt to curb her rage.
"Noah, I will ask you one last time. Who will you choose? Either you kick that woman and her illegitimate child out of your life and marry Kyla, or you can stop callingyour mother!" Noah's eyes darkened. A moment passed before he spoke.

"My mother is throwing a tantrum again. Take her to the estate on the outskirts to cool off. We will revisit this discussion later." "You-You are actually casting your own mother aside for the sake of a scheming adulteress and her bastard son?" Isabel's voice quivered in disbelief as she raised a trembling hand and pointed at Noah.
Kyla seized the moment to walk up to Noah and grab his arm, as if she had every right to. "Con, Noah," she coaxed, "don't be upset with your mother. She only wants what's best for you—" Noah pulled his arm free, his gaze icy. "Take my mom away," he said to Samuel in a commanding tone.
Just then, a servant hurried over. "Mr. Wall," he cried out in a panic. "Your wife is here." Noah's face twitched. Before he could react, a slender figure barged into the living room. Sadie was here.

"How dare you step into my house!" Isabel ranted as soon as she caught sight of Sadie. "You bitch! You're a cursed Wretch that brought ruin to your own family! And now you're clinging to my son! Tell me, do you plan on destroying him, too?!"
Every word that spilled from Isabel's mouth cut deep into Sadie's heart. She gritted her teeth until her gums almost bled. Her gaze had turned murderous. The air grew thick with tension, and it felt like they were all waiting for a bomb to detonate.
Still staring at Sadie, Noah felt a ripple of unease. He had never seen her like this before. A strange sense of foreboding washed over him.
