Chapter 153
“I thought you were just throwing a tantrum. I thought you wouldn’t actually leave me and Sonny Paisley detected a hint of grievance in Dominick’s voice.
She let out a cold laugh. Dominick, are you feeling wronged I don’t understand–how are you a victim?”
A long–buried bitterness welled up in her chest. She couldn’t help but feel sorry for her younger self from four years ago,
“You thought I was throwing a tantrum, so you signed the divorce papers to teach me a lesson–is that it? As Dominick’s wife, was I not allowed to have emotions!”
“No. Paisley, you know that’s not what I meant!” Dominick tried to explain, but Paisley was done listening. She ended the call without another word Then she blocked his number agam
Outside the president’s office at the Vanderbilt Group, the young secretary shivered as she heard the sound of a phone smashing against the office door
She turned to Julian with a pitiful look. “Mr. Hal
- r. Hale, why don’t you take these documents in for Vanderbilt to sign?”
Why me. of all people? This job is becoming more unbearable by the day!‘ she thought.
Julian also looked miserable, but seeing the secretary on the verge of tears, he reluctantly took the documents from her.
He knocked and entered the office. The moment he stepped in, his foot landed on the remains of a phone, shattered into pieces by Dominick’s

At the time, he had been pretty biased against Paisley, so naturally, he didn’t have much affection for the Sullivan family either. Besides, Brittany’s intentions had seemed questionable, and he didn’t want Dominick getting too involved with people like her.
