Chapter 472
Thomas's POV
Robert's hands slowly loosened their grip on my collar. He took a heavy step back, his pupils dilating in pure, paralyzed astonishment. His raspy voice quavered, lost in a fog of disbelief.
"What are you saying?.." He swallowed hard, his jaw twitching. "...How is Adam not Harold's son?"
I locked my eyes onto his with absolute firmness, unspooling the thread of the narrative I had so meticulously woven in my head.
"The day Julie was giving birth..." I paused, letting my gaze drift momentarily. "...Olivia was there with her."
Robert knit his brows, a spike of cold dread cutting through his features. "Olivia?"
Julie stood frozen, her face ghostly pale, her voice trembling like a brittle leaf. "How do you know Olivia was present?"
I looked back and forth between them, forcing a look of dull, somber grief onto my face.
