The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 486

"Speak! Whose child is it?"

The moment those words left Nolan's mouth, Wayne and Melody froze in shock. Niall and Liana were equally stunned, while Tyler and Sharon began to tremble in fear.

Niall, in particular, was trembling uncontrollably. Nolan's single question carried implications far greater than the words themselves. It was Sharon's baby, yet Nolan had directed the question at Tyler. The meaning behind that was unmistakable.

Niall was on the verge of breaking down, while Wayne and Melody were so enraged they looked ready to grind their teeth to dust. If it had been anyone else, perhaps they could have handled it better. But why Tyler?

Their own son-in-law and daughter-in-law, involved with each other and now expecting a child? This was nothing short of a sickening joke!

At that moment, Niall's eyes turned bloodshot with rage. Strangling Sharon's neck, he snarled, "Sharon, you bitch! Tell me—whose child are you carrying?"

Sharon struggled to breathe under Niall's grip, but still, she gritted her teeth and insisted the child was his.

At that moment, Tyler took a deep breath and looked at Nolan. "It's… It's Niall's!"

Nolan's eyes narrowed slightly as he let out a low chuckle. "Interesting. You really don't fear death, do you?"

With those words, a flash of cold steel sliced through the air. Nolan's sword cleaved through Tyler's arm, and blood instantly poured from the wound. Tyler's agonized scream echoed, reminding everyone just how ruthless Nolan could be.

Wayne and Melody trembled violently. Fortunately, Nolan's men were there to support them, or they would have been at a loss for how to face this overwhelming revelation.

Liana glared at Tyler with pure hatred. In a swift motion, she snatched a dagger from one of the men in suits and charged at Tyler.

Meanwhile, Sharon completely fell apart. "No, no! Don't listen to him! He's lying—he's really lying! Niall, please believe me. I did sleep with him, but I was the one being forced! He wasn't the one who was pressured—I was! I'm innocent, I swear, I'm innocent! And the most important thing is the baby I'm carrying, it's yours, Niall! It's really yours! I'm not lying, I swear, I swear I'm telling the truth!"

It seemed that Sharon had no other card to play. But at that exact moment, something in Niall's eyes shifted. The fury that had consumed him seemed to vanish, replaced by an icy coldness and a murderous intent that was almost palpable.
