Chapter 216 Paisleys cold indifference felt like a load on Dominicks chest and throat .
It was stuck there neither going up nor down- leaving him uncomfortable , barely able to breathe .
Nothing was harder for him to accept than seeing another man standing next to Paisley .
Paisley , he called out softly , not wanting her to leave .
It felt like , if he let go this time , Paisley might truly never belong to him again Mom ! Grayson was equally unwilling to let go .
He clung tightly to Paisleys hand , crying even more bitterly than before .
Dont leave , stay here with me .
Mom , I need you ! Paisley , why dont you just stay with Sonny for a bit ? Dominick asked gently .
He needs his mom .
Lauren , unable to stand her precious grandson crying , added , Paisley , can you stop being so heartless ? All you think about is that daughter of yours ! fair and She shot Max a glare and continued , Sonny is your child too .
As mother , you should be fair and not so biased ! Max felt both bewildered and a little awkward standing there .
Seeing the concern on Paisleys face for her daughter , he said gently , Dont worry .
Ill go check on Rena while you handle things here .
With that , Max walked past the Vanderbilt family toward Maria and Serena .
As he passed Dominick , he could clearly feel the strong hostility radiating from him .
1 am being fair ! Paisley felt she had fulfilled her responsibilities Besides, Grayson didnt actually need her there just like before .
She looked seriously at the Vanderbilt family .
Tve already checked .
Sonnys fine .
And with all of you around , he doesnt need me .
But my daughter does .

So please , dont stop me .
With that , Paisley decisively pulled her hand out of Graysons grip .
Ah ! Grayson screamed , his spoiled temper flaring up .
Youre mean ! Youre not my mom ! You dont love me .
You only love Serenal Paisley looked at him calmly .
I hope you understand that throwing a tantrum wont work on me .
Meeting Paisleys cold and unyielding gaze , Grayson froze , unsure of what to do .
At home , whenever he cried or got angry , he always got what he wanted .
But he had forgotten his mom never liked this behavior , not even when he was a child .
That was why , back then , he preferred his grandma and Marissa They would indulge him unconditionally , without setting any rules or even giving him a chance to throw a tantrum .
But his mom wouldnt , never , ever .
So if not this , what could he do to make her stay ? Paisley .
This time , it was Dominick who grabbed Paisleys wrist He knew his actions were childish and unbecoming .
But he didnt care anymore .
He couldnt stand the sight of Paisley being with another man .
He couldnt bear to watch their happy family of three leaning on each other .
He couldnt do it .
Paisley was his , only his .
Dominick , Im not in the mood to argue with you .
Let go of my hand right now I need to see my daughter , Paisley said , holding bark her impatience .
This was her final warning .
Paisley , your daughter is fine .
Its Sonny whos in trouble ! Cant you see hes all injured ? Laurens fury erupted at Paisleys 1/4 599 14:26 Wed , Feb 12 Chapter 216 unwavering attitude .
Seeing her precious grandson plead so desperately only to be ignored sent Lauren into a rage .
Paisley , you really have a cold heart ! To you , only that illegitimate child matters , right ? Sonny means nothing , right ? And youve even brought your lover here to flaunt in front of us ! Mom ! Lauren Dominick and Reginald couldnt stop her in time Lauren had already said everything she shouldnt have , Mom , what are you saying ! Even Kayla thought Lauren had gone too far this time .
Some things could be said in private but not right in Paisleys face .
Anyone could see that her brother wanted to reconcile with Paisley .
By saying such things .
Lauren was cutting off any chance of that happening .
But Lauren didnt care .
Her eyes were red with anger as she glared at Paisley .
All she knew was Paisley had made her grandson suffer .
Paisley , youre so heartless ! You abandoned your husband and child to run off with this man , had an illegitimate child , and now you dont even acknowledge your son anymore .
Laurens anger only escalated , her words growing more reckless , Anything related to Grayson made her lose all reason .
What did you just say ? Say it again , Who are you calling illegitimate ? Paisley stared coldly at Lauren , her voice icy .
Am I wrong ? If your daughter isnt an illegitimate child , then what is she ? Paisleys slap landed hard on Laurens face , her eyes glinting with cold light .
Ah ! Mom ! Standing behind Lauren , Kayla was startled .
She hadnt expected Paisley to hit her .
Reginald was equally shocked , frozen in place for a moment .
Lauren held her face , You hit me ? Paisley didnt want to waste any more words with the Vanderbilt family .
She turned to Max for help .
Max imunediately understood and responded , Leo .
Leo immediately rushed over with his people .
Let go of Paisley ! Naturally , Julian wouldnt let Dominick get hurt either , so he brought along the Vanderbilt familys guards and surrounded them as well .
Both sides faced off , the tension thick enough to cut with a knife .
Dominick and Max locked eyes from a distance once again , both radiating a cold , unmistakable hostility .
Just then , Marias sharp voice broke through , Paisy ! Serena wont wake up ! Come take a look ! good ! What ? Whats going on ? Jonathan immediately went over , his face darkening as he checked Serenas condition .
This isnt Serenal Paisley shook off Dominicks hand again .
Realizing the severity of the situation , Dominick didnt try to stop her this time , Instead , he stayed by her side , shielding her to prevent her from falling in her panic .
Dont worry .
Itll be okay Paisley finally saw Serena pale faced and unconscious .
After checking Serenas pulse , Paisley froze on the spot , It was septicemia .
