Chapter 188 Gregory panicked completely .
Ever since learning about the relationship between Dominick aiul Paisley , he regretted his actions .
Now , Paisleys assistant was bringing everything in light .
The Jackman family was equally anxious .
At this moment , they wished they could disappear and avoid Dominicks mundemus gaze .
remember you said your son is dating his other daughter ? Dominicks cold gaze moved from Keith to Gregory and finally to Keith again .
Keiths knees went weak .
This was the true pressure of a powerful man .
He didnt dare meet Dominicks eyes , wiping the cold sweat off his face repeatedly 1 He had indeed made that claim , and at the time , he was so confident that he would secure ties with the Vanderbilt family .
As soon as Dominicks chilling gaze shifted away from him , Keith let out a shaky breath , sneaking a glance up only to find Dominick staring at his son Baron like a dead man .
The your son ? The voice was bone chilling Baron , who had been so arrogant before , now covered behind his parents like a frightened quail under Dominicks gaze .
Marianne was sweating profusely .
She deeply regretted agreeing to Gregorys proposal for an alliance through marriage .
It was not like Baron couldnt find a wife .
Gregory had really dragged the Jackman family into big trouble Thinking this , Marianne quickly pointed at Gregory .
Dominick , this isnt our fault ! Gregory begged us for this marriage ! He pleaded for Baron to marry Paisley ! At first, we didnt want to , since we thought his daughter was un- She was about to say uneducated when Keith pushed her hard .
Only then did she realize her slip of the tongue and quickly shut up .
Keith took over the conversation , We were indeed hesitant because we didnt want to ruin a good girls life .
Gregory insisted that they were a good match .
He wouldnt take no for an answer .
We thought it would be unfair for Paisley , but → Keith wiped the sweat from his brow , ignoring Gregorys increasingly grim expression , and went on , But it turns out they didnt care about Paisley , at all .
They even told us we didnt have to treat Paisley well in the future ! Yes , yes Marianne chimed in , nodding repeatedly .
They said it themselves ! We only followed their lead .
Besides , Paisley wasnt hurt , was she ? On the contrary , my son Baron got beaten so badly he doesnt even look human anymore .
Youre twisting the truth Gregory was seething with rage .
The Jackman familys words had completely derailed his efforts to explain things to Dominick But the Jackmans had reached the point of no return .
This was a matter of survival .
If things went south , they wouldnt be able to stay in Harrowfell , Whos twisting the truth here ? Do I need to spell it out ! Keith raised his chin defiantly , his double chin trembling as he continued , Dominick , the Sullivan family played a very clever game .
They mistakenly thought you were interested in Brittany , so they tried to use your influence to force Baron to marry Paisley .
This way , the Sullivan family could secure two favorable alliances at once , reaping all the benefits for themselves Having his scheming exposed in public , Gregory felt utterly humiliated and plunged into despair , He regretted it deeply regretted every single decision that had led to this point .
But now that the damage was done , how could be possibly undo it ! Paisley had no interest in watching the Sullivan and Jackman families bite each other .
She didnt care about their fates at all Her only concern now was ber show , the true reason she had shown up today .
She turned to Dominick and said firmly , Dominick , I dont care why youre helping the Sullivan family or Brittany , but I will never allow her to take the lead role .
If you insist on helping her , Ill fight you with everything Ive got , no matter the cost Her words struck a nerve with Dominick .
Fight ! Paisley had used the word fight ? When had it come to this between them ? Paisley , why are you so stubborn ? Everything Ive done lus been for your own good , Dominick tried to reason .
But I dont need it Paisley sorted coldly .
Like I said before , were divorced now .
Stay out of my lifer With that , she turned and walked without the slightest hesitation .
Mom ! Grayson ran after her , grabbing the hem of her coat , desperate to stop her .
Mom , please dont leave me ! * 1/2 3:57 PM Chapter 188 Paisley froze for a moment .
Her fingers twitched slightly at her sides , and she took a deep breath before turning to gently pry Graysons hands off her coat .
But you left me first , she said softly .
No , I didnt ! I was wrong ! Grayson sobbed .
Mom , I want you back ! I want you to stay with me , to teach me French , to cook for me I just want you ! Paisley looked down at her son , her heart briefly softening , but then hardening again .
Sonny , youre not sorry youre just unwilling to accept this .
You want a mom whos perfect , who prioritizes you in everything , who indulges you unconditionally .
Thats not who I am .
It never was , and it never will be .
When you truly understand that , you can come find me .
With that , she turned and walked away , not looking back .
Paisley ! Dominick took two steps after her , unable to bear seeing her disappear from his sight again .
No matter what , even if it meant forcing her to stay , he couldnt let her leave .
But before he could go any further , Lucy and her team blocked his path .
