Chapter 129
Lauren was organizing the simised rooms in Vanderbils Manor with the butler and servants, as Paul would soon be discharged from the hospital. and retum home to recuperate,
Ar that time, two family doctors would be living there long–term, and the famousalocior, Charles Hansen, would also anime to V
anime to Vanderbilt Manor periodically to check on Paol.
As they fusily worked inside and outside the house, Lauren saw Kayla’s car drive in through the openi and park
Before long. Kayla and Marissa got out of the car one after the other. Kayla was holding a paleting, which she handed to the servant who came to greet her
“What happened? Why do you both look gloomy!” Once Kayla and Marissa approached, Lauren noticed the unusual expressions on their faces, especially Marissa, who looked like she had just lieen crying
“Didn’t you go to meet your idol? Why do you look unhappy!” Lauren asked, thinking. They seemed so happy when they left. Why do they look so down now!
Marissa remained as gentle as ever. “Nothing. We’re just tired.”
Kayla didn’t speak, silently walking into the house, clearly preoccupied.
At that moment, the servant had already opened the outer packaging of the painting, as Lauren had requested.
When Lauren saw the painting, her eyes lit up. “It really is beautiful. No wonder you were so obsessed with it, she exclaimed to Kayla, then instructed the butler to hang the painting in the most prominent position.
Even Reginald, who was used to seeing various famous paintings, had to admit that this one was indeed stunning. He thought, “No wonder Kayla admires its creator so much. Now I want to meet Nion, tou
Before the butler could act, Kayla, who had been silent, finally spoke up, “Do you know who Nion is?”
Kayla’s voice was muted, and Lauren and Reginald keenly noticed the change in how Kayla referred to her idol. Previously, she always called Nion “Mr. Vaire“, but now she simply referred to her as Nion
“Who is it?” Lauren asked
Kayla became excited. Even now, she had to control herself when mentioning it. “Tr’s Paisley.”
What
i did you say?” Lauren’s voice suddenly rose, as she thought she must have misheard. “Paisley?”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s her Kayla nodded emphatically, her voice firm. “I saw her at the auction. She was invited by Crown&Culture”
Lauren thought. ‘Since she was invited by Crown& Culture, it must be right” She was greatly shocked standing there in a daze for a long time.
Reginald, who was drinking water, almost choked.
“What’s
wrong with Paisley? She knows medicine and is also a painter. How many more identities has she hidden from us? Lauren said, agitated. Hearing this, Reginald became serious. “Yeah, these skills need years of training”
Lauren thought, “Exactly, just take painting, for example. Kayla started learning to paint at thirteen, and after more than ten years, her level is just average!
For a moment, Lauren and Reginald’s feelings became exceptionally complicated
Lauren frowned, “Why didn’t she tell us about her talents before?” After saying this, she felt awkward.
Lauren thought, ‘But even if she had told us, what would have changed! Would we treat Paisley better because of it? She didn’t know, as she had always believed that Marissa was the perfect choice in her heart,
“Maylie..” Marissa’s gentle voice spoke up. “It’s because M. Sutton never regarded this place as her home and never saw you all as her family. Otherwise, why wouldn’t the tell her own family!”
Lauren felt that Marissa’s words made a lot of sense and said angrily. “It’s okay if she didn’t want to tell
Marissa looked at her with pity, “Maylie she doesn’t love Dom that much”
but why did she even hide it from Dom?”
Right, if she truly loves Dom, how could there be secrets between them? Lauren thought, and looking at the painting again, she lost the desire to hang it up. “Put it away, she instructed the butler.

Kayla watched as the painting was rewrapped and put away. She wanted to take it back, but every time she met Marissa’s eyes, she couldn’t say anything and could only watch helplessly as the painting was taken away.
Outside the door, Dominick listened to all their conversations clearly. Filled with sarcasm, he thought, Paisley, have you never truly loved me
