Chapter 67 With the tables turned so abruptly , a heavy silence fell over everyone .
They quietly watched Marissa , waiting for her to defend herself .
Yet , at this point , no matter what she said , it would only sound unconvincing She anxiously looked at Dominick , her eyes brimming with unshed tears as her voice cracked with desperation , Dom .
Dominicks gaze darkened , his lips pressed into a thin line .
After a long pause , he sighed .
How are you feeling ? Can you stand ? The medics should be here any moment .
You have to believe me , Dom .
I didnt- Marissa clung to Dominicks arm , desperately trying to salvage something Yet , Dominick just slowly pulled his arm free and helped her sit upright .
His tone remained calm but firm as he interjected , Lets focus on checking if youre hurt first .
Marissas eyes reddened , her chest tight with anxiety .
She turned to Grayson , the second person here she thought she could count on .
Sonny , you believe me , dont you Grayson hesitated , his gaze unfocused .

After what felt like an eternity , he gave a slight nod .
Marissa , I believe you .
But his voice wavered slightly .
and as he spoke , his eyes drifted toward Paisley , Seeing that he was still willing to trust her , Marissa felt her restless heart finally settle a little .
She looked up at Paisley , her eyes gleaming with provocation , and thought , See that , Paisley ? The truth never really matters .
Even if you prove your case , so what ? Dominick still hasnt turned on me , and even your own son is standing by my side ! Meanwhile , Serena , who had been nestled in Marias arms , suddenly grasped the situation .
She burst into tears , reaching our for Paisley .
I want my mom .
Youre all mean , always picking on her .
Serena was sobbing so hard she could barely catch her breath .
Paisley , feeling her heart ache , pulled the child into her arms and gently comforted ber .
Dont cry , Rena .
No ones bullying me .
They cant get to me , okay ? Sull hiccupping through her tears , Serena wiped away her tears and said , That scary guy is bad .
Grayson is bad .
I hate them .
I never want to see them again Paisley turned her back to the group , speaking softly as s she comforted Serena , Alright , sweetie , I hate them too .
We wont see them again .
Paisley didnt notice how Graysons eyes turned red at her words or how Dominicks frown deepened , his mood plummeting to rock bottorri Once Serena had calmed down .
Paisley turned back to the group , her expression icy .
No matter what , I won the race .
That means I have the right to this field now .
You all can leave Alexis was the first to to speak up in protest , Why should we leave ? Neither you nor Marissa even made it to the finish line .
Why d the winner ! And besides , this place is for premium members only .
Who do you think you are , acting like you belong here ? does that make you over to them .
At that moment , David arrived with the medical team in tow .
Seeing them , Dominick wasted no time handing Marissa over ti Dom .
Im scared … Marissa whispered , unwilling to leave Dominicks arms .
She clung tightly to his sleeve , refusing to let go .
Dominick brushed her hand off with a flicker of irritation finally breaking through .
Let the medics check your injuries .
Im not a doctor .
Left with no choice , she awkwardly withdrew her hand and allowed the medics to examine her .
David stood before Dominick like a subordinate , apologizing profusely .
Tim truly sorry that Ms.
Prescott got hurt .
Mr.
Vanderbilt , rest assured , I will handle this matter seriously .
We wont shirk responsibility for Ms.
Prescotts injury Alexis printed at Pauley and said , Speaking of handling things seriously , whats going on with your staff ? How could they just let anyone in ? Is this area the kind of place where people like her can wander around freely ? David turn to look at Paisley and froze for a moment before his brows furrowed .
He remembered this woman holding a child .
Hed seen her earlier at the hotel entrance while welcoming Dominick .
After all , women this beautiful were rare , especially one with a child .
She left a lasting impression But no matter how beautiful a woman was , if she didnt know her place and recklessly offended someone important , it was unforgivable .
With that thought , Davids expression darkened .
Who let them in ? he demanded .
Nearby , the staff at the stables trembled nervously .
