Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1503

Lillionix is only going to increase in value," Sebastian continued, his voice smooth and persuasive. "Her capabilities are unmatched. The Li Algorithm she created has generated an unimaginable amount of wealth, and it will continue to do so for decades. She is a thousand times better than Bella. Remember at your birthday party? All the other kids were so jealous that you had such an amazing mother, weren't they?"

Noah couldn't deny it. Even though his peers knew about Lillian's past in prison, they didn't care in the slightest. Some had even told him it made her sound cool. For a brief moment, Noah had felt a swell of pride.

But then he remembered how she had treated him at the gala. She hadn't brought him a grand gift, and her cold words still stung. How could he just forgive her? Plus, he had always admired his father's ruthless authority. He wasn't going to let Lillian win that easily. If she wanted her son back, she had to pay the price.

Sensing the boy's hesitation, Sebastian offered a slight smile. "Don't you want to be the envy of all your friends, Noah?"

"Of course I do," Noah answered without a second thought.

"As long as you have her affection, you'll have their envy. The whole world will pamper you just because you're her son. Isn't that infinitely better than being Bella's child?"

It clicked in Noah's mind. His father was right. That sounded vastly superior to whatever future Bella could offer him.
