Chapter 97 Lauren spotted Paisley first .
Her warm smile vanished in an instant .
Paisley ? At Laurens voice , everyones heads whipped toward the elevator doors .
There stood a stunning woman in a simple t shirt and jeans , a backpack slung over her shoulder .
Her high ponytail revealed sharp features , smooth skin , and eyes that held a perfect mix of cool detachment and raw defiance .
Paisley , what are you doing here ? Kaylas voice cut through the air .
The moment she laid eyes on Paisley , she went from zero to a hundred real quick .
If they werent in a hospital , she would ve totally lost it right there .
Among the Vanderbilt family and friends present , only a select few actually knew who Paisley was mainly the relatives closest to Dominicks immediate family .
Some people knew that Dominicks wife was named Paisley , though they had never met her .
Others only knew that Dominick had been married with no idea who his wife was or what she was called Marissa froze when she spotted Paisley .
Running into her here was the last thing shed expected .
Whats she up to showing up like this ? she wondered .
Has she somehow caught wind of Pauls critical condition and decided to make an appearance to get attention ? But right now , only the Vanderbilt family and a select few VIPs were supposed to know about this .
Paisley shouldnt even find out about this .
Fighting back her growing anxiety and irritation , Marissa turned to address Kayla in a hushed voice .
Hey , keep it down .
Were in a hospital .
remember ? We cant make a scene here , Marissa thought .
Dom absolutely cannot hear this or run into her .
Not now ! I get it , Marissa , Kayla said , jabbing a finger in Paisleys direction .
But seriously , whats she doing here ? Reginald was just as thrown by Paisleys sudden appearance .
He studied Paisley with sharp eyes , wondering what game she was playing by showing up out of nowhere like this .
Marissa glanced toward the hospital room .
Once she was sure Dom hadnt caught wind of the commotion , she plastered on a smile and approached Paisley .
Ms.
Sutton .
Her voice dripped honey sweet venom .
Are you lost ! The general ward is on a different floor .
This is the VIP wing restricted access only Im here to see someone .
Paisley didnt even spare Marissa a glance as she brushed past her , heading straight for the consultation room at the end of the hall .
Paisley recalled that this was the floor Charles had mentioned .
Shed been here countless times before because of Jonathan .
Usually , Charles should pick her up , but she didnt want to make the poor guy drag his aging bones all the way here just for her sake .
So , shed decided to come on her own this time .
But running into the Vanderbilts was definitely not part of the plan .
Wait , is someone from the Vanderbilt family the critically ill patient ? Paisley thought .
Marissas heart dropped when she saw Paisley heading straight for Pauls room .
Before she could think twice , she rushed forward , planting herself firmly in Paisleys path .
Who exactly are you here to see ? Because Im pretty sure theres no one here for you .
* For crying out loud , Paisley , just leave .
You and my son are divorced .
