Lucys words hit Paisley like a hammer to the head .

She wasnt concerned about whether the Vanderbilt family would direct their anger at others .
Moreover , was true Maria had abruptly grabbed Grayson without explanation before leaving the restaurant .
Laurens rage was palpable as she glared at Maria with hatred .
I was you , wasnt it ? You tried to harm my grandson ? Maria quickly shielded Serena .
What nonsense ! Why would I harm your grandson ? Why else ? Lauren spat , pointing at Serena .
Its because of that llegitimate child in your arms ! Who are you calling illegitimate ? Maria shot up from her seat , unafraid of Laurens status .
She glared back with equal fury .
If Lauren had insulted her alone , Maria might have let it slide , given that they were in a hospital and in front of Serena .
But calling Rena an illegitimate child was too much .
Mom , what are you saying ? Dominick intervened , grabbing Laurens arm to stop her from escalating the situation .
Lauren refused to back down .
Especially since Maria was Paisley daughters caretaker and in Laurens mind , Paisley herself might have conceived Serena during an affair .
Her anger grew as she thought about her son tirelessly working to win Paisley back , even neglecting his own health .
And her grandson , Sonny , constantly cries out for his mother , sending countless messages to Paisley , only to be met with silence .
And now .
Paisleys nanny had nearly gotten her grandson killed .
How could Lauren not be angry ? She wanted nothing more than to strangle that despicable nanny .
Am I wrong ? she shouted .
You know exactly when Paisley had that child .
If she isnt illegitimate , then what is she ? Say that again ! Who are you calling illegitimate ? Maria snapped rolling up her sleeves and storming toward Lauren .
She didnt care who Lauren was no one could insult her precious Rena The Vanderbilt familys entourage quickly intervened .
Seeing Maria ready to throw hands , Kayla was stunned by her boldness .
Rushing forward with the attendants , she blocked the enraged Maria and spoke with a threatening tone , What are you doing ? Are you trying to attack us ? Dominick handed Lauren over to Reginald and then walked forward , pushing Kayla aside and signaling his men to step back .
Maria , Im calling you that correctly , right ? Im sorry , my mother was just too worried about Sonny , so she spoke out of turn .
Please dont take it to heart .
After saying this , he looked at Serena and softly said , Dont scare her .
Maria snapped back to reality and looked at Serena with concert Serena had red eyes , pursed lips , and was clearly holding back tears , her body trembling .
wed , Fl Chapter 210 Marias heart skipped a beat , and she quickly returned to Serenas side , gently comforting her , Rena , dont be afraid .
Its okay now .
Maria , what does illegitimate mean ? Am I illegitimate ? Serena looked up at Maria , her face pale .
She didnt know what the word meant , but hearing that mean lady say it made her feel very uncomfortable .
Maria felt a pang in her heart and said , Youre not .
That old woman is a bad person , and you shouldnt believe what bad people say , okay ! Serena nodded and firmly remembered Marias words .
On the other side , Reginald restrained Lauren , preventing her from acting impulsively .

Arent you afraid of embarrassing yourself ? Whats embarrassing about it ? That girl is a bastard , and I cant even say it ? Though unwilling .
Laurens voice lowered , and her emotions calmed slightly .
Alright , thats enough ! Reginald lowered his voice and scolded lauren .
Paisley and Dominick are already divorced , so stop bringing this up .
Besides , isnt Sonny fine ? Fine ? Lauren glanced at Grayson , covered in blood , and felt a lingering fear .
When has Sonny ever suffered like this ? Its all because of that nanny with ulterior motives ! Who has ulterior motives ! At that moment , two police officers approached , having overheard Laurens words .
Seeing the police taking the initiative to question her , Lauren pointed at Maria and said , Her ! When the restaurant exploded , she insisted on taking my grandson outside , which caused him to get hurt .
She had bad intentions ! Claire was now extremely anxious .
She had only implicated the nanny to save her own job earlier .
She hadnt expected .
things to escalate to this point , with both sides nearly coming to blows and now even involving the police .
She initially thought the nanny would be intimidated by the Vanderbilt family , but Maria stood her ground and even dared to confront them publicly .
And what did Lauren and Reginald mean by what they just said ? Why did Lauren call that little girl a bastard ? Did they all know each other ! Claires unease grew stronger .
She had thought only Grayson and the little girl knew each other , but things seemed far more complicated than she had imagined .
Maria felt completely helpless , looking at the officers with an innocent expression .
Just as she was about to explain , one of the officers spoke first .
Bad intentions ? Madam , you should be thanking this lady .
If it werent for her , your grandson would have been in real danger today .
Lauren was confused .
Huh ? What do you mean ? The officers words caught the attention of Reginald , Dominick , Kayla , and the surrounding injured people .

Then the officer turned to Maria .
Is that right , maam ? Maria hadnt expected the police to help clear her name , feeling a little embarrassed .
Uh , yes .
When the attacker passed by me .
I smelled sulfur and gasoline on him .
Renas mother once told me they were flammable .
So I thought , having two flammable substances together must be dangerous .
Plus , the attackers face seemed off , and I got more and more scared , so I decided to take the kids away .
Good , having such safety awareness is commendable .
Being praised by the police , Maria felt all the frustration she had been holding in instantly dissipate .
At this moment , a parent spoke up .
Yes , I was there with my daughter too .
If it werent for this lady shouting about the danger , we wouldnt have known .
Thanks to her , my daughter and I were able to escape in time with only minor injuries .
As one person spoke up , others followed .
Yes , I was there too .
I saw this lady holding the little girl with one hand and pulling the boy with the other , trying to get them out .
But this woman stopped her , saying they couldnt leave , said Parent A.
Exactly ! If she hadnt stopped them , those two kids wouldnt have gotten hurt at all , said Parent B.
I saw it too ! When the explosion happened , this woman pushed the boy in front of her , the man pointed to Grayson and continued .
while she hid behind him .
She used him like a shield
