Reborn Through Fire

Chapter 1475

In the Webb family’s study, Mr. Webb Sr. gazed at a bracelet on his desk, his lips pursed in silence.

Thomas looked at him, his face full of self-deprecation. “I’ve never understood why you treat me and Peter so differently. I used to comfort myself that maybe it was because I’m the eldest son, so you were overly strict with me. But now I understand that you hate me, you’re incredibly harsh on me not to toughen me up, but because I’m not one of the Webb family’s children.”

Mr. Webb Sr. puffed on his cigar, looking at him. “Who has been filling your head with this nonsense?”

“No one has been filling my head with anything” Thomas replied, his emotions rising. “Kisa has been searching for her brother who has a blood-red birthmark on his chest and a bracelet. So please explain, what’s the deal with the birthmark on my chest and this bracelet?”

Mr. Webb Sr. exhaled a smoke ring slowly. “Don’t forget that Peter also has a birthmark on his chest and a bracelet like this.”

“But Peter couldn’t possibly be her brother. You love Peter so much; how could he be someone else’s child? Dad, I won’t argue about how you have treated me differently all these years. I just want to know if I’m really your biological child or not.”

“Yes,” Mr. Webb Sr. answered without hesitation, his tone affirmative. “You are my child, the Webb family’s child.”

“It’s impossible,” Thomas argued, his emotions surging. “If I really am the Webb family’s child, why were you so harsh and strict with me all these years?”

Mr. Webb Sr. pursed his lips and remained silent.

Thomas looked at him and laughed self-deprecatingly. “Dad, you don’t have to keep lying to me. Even if I’m not the Webb family’s child, I still appreciate all the care and upbringing you have given me. But since I’m not your child, it is not appropriate for me to stay here any longer. I have thought about it for a long time and decided to move out.”

Thomas picked up the bracelet from the desk and started walking out.

Sr. quickly stopped him, seemingly struggling for a while before he frowned helplessly. “It’s exactly because you are my biological child that I have the right to be strict with
