“Shut up!” Brittany’s face turned red, and Daisy’s words not only humiliated her but also peeled away the facade she had. carefully built, showing it to everyone. Since childhood, Brittany had always been protected by Christina. She had never been publicly humiliated like this.
“What did you say?” Daisy didn’t hear Brittany clearly and leaned in closer. “Speak louder.”
“I said, shut up!” Brittany suddenly stood up and slapped Daisy across the face.
The sound was incredibly loud, echoing throughout the hall. The women chatting not far away all turned their heads to look. When Donna saw her daughter being hit, she immediately stood up and angrily questioned Christina, “How could your daughter hit someone?”
Paisley took the opportunity while Serena was asleep to temporarily leave the hospital and go to the studio to handle some accumulated work.
On her way back, she received a call from Christina. The call came from an unfamiliar number, and Paisley didn’t think much of it. After answering, she realized it was Christina.
“Paisy, where are you? Something happened here. Can you come to 190 Garden Road?” Christina immediately explained the purpose of the call, possibly fearing Paisley would hang up the moment she heard her voice.
“If you have a problem, call the police. I’m busy, goodbye. Paisley hung up without a second thought, showing no courtesy. Christina must be calling about Brittany.
Although she was used to it, the thought that her own mother only ever remembered her when her adopted daughter was in trouble still made Paisley feel a bit of sadness.
However, not long after, another unfamiliar call came in. Paisley hesitated, but decided to answer it. This time, the caller
wasn’t Christina.
“Hello, this is the police: Paisley was surprised. The police were calling her. “Your mother has encountered some trouble at 190 Garden Road, and they need you to come over.”
What could have happened that required the police? Paisley looked at the road ahead. Coincidentally, she had to turn a corner to reach Garden Road.
She could ignore Christina, but she had to respect the police. “Okay, I understand. I’ll be there in five minutes.”
When Paisley arrived at 190 Garden Road, she suddenly realized this was the place where Lauren often attended the ladies‘
association.
When she was still Dominick’s wife, Lauren never brought her here, always bringing Marissa instead. This had even become a point for Marissa to show off to her.
She hadn’t expected to arrive at this place in such a way today. What confused her was how Christina even had the qualifications to enter the ladies‘ association. The membership vetting for the ladies‘ club was very strict.
As soon as Paisley entered, she saw a smiling lady walking towards her. She looked familiar, but Paisley couldn’t recall where she had seen her before.
Diana approached Paisley and introduced herself warmly, Tim Nathaniel’s mom, you can call me Diana.”

Nathaniel? A picture of a handsome face with striking red hair and fair skin flashed through Paisley’s mind.
Recently, Nathaniel had occasionally sent her messages, mostly polite ones, just checking in. Except for once, when he accidentally sent a picture of his abs, though he quickly recalled it. He apologized, saying it was a mistake.
But Paisley hadn’t expected that Nathaniel’s mother would also know her. “Hello, Diana.”

Diana was thrilled when Paisley remembered her son. “We met at the Crown & Culture auction last time. I even bid on one of your paintings, but it was eventually bought by the Vanderbilt family girl.” Diana quickly tried to get closer to Paisley.
‘Paisley looked even better up close, she thought.
