Chapter 240
Brittany was in a panic. Although she was unwilling, she knew that if Paisley didn’t intervene, the Levine family would definitely hold her responsible. She could only keep signaling Christina, asking her to speak to Paisley.
Christina couldn’t just stand by and watch Brittany get into trouble, so she had to swallow her temper, lower her posture, and beg Paisley.
“Paisy, you can’t ignore Brittany. After all, she’s your sister. This was just a spur–of–the–moment mistake, and she already regrets it. As the older sister, you should step in and apologize for her, and this will be over.
The other ladies present could clearly see that Diana and Lauren were trying to win Paisley’s favor.
Moreover, they had just learned that aside from all the things that made Paisley shine, she was also Dominick’s ex–wife, and more importantly, they had two children together. Maybe one of these children would be the future heir of the Vanderbilt family
What was even more alarming was that Diana also liked Paisley.
Just as Mrs. Sullivan said, as long as Paisley spoke up for Brittany, the Levine family would have to show her respect, even if they didn’t want to. But it seemed that this Paisley didn’t want to help.
Paisley wanted to laugh. It was always the same. Every time, Brittany made a mistake, she had to bear the consequences.
She looked at Brittany’s face, still unrepentant, waiting for others to clean up her mess, and sneered, “Oh? Do you know you were wrong? Because I don’t see any sign of it.”
Brittany knew that Paisley was mocking her, trying to make her apologize. She clenched her fists but could only swallow her humiliation for now.
When she looked up at Paisley again, Brittany had switched to a pitiful, vulnerable expression. “Paisley, I was really impulsive this time. I know I was wrong. Please help me, okay?”
Seeing Brittany groveling and having to lower her head to Paisley made Christina feel uncomfortable. “Paisy, Brittany is begging you like this. Are you really going to just watch her suffer? We’re family, after all!”
After saying this, Christina grabbed Paisley’s arm and pulled her toward the Levine family, causing her to stumble.
Diana and Lauren weren’t pleased when they saw Christina’s hasty and rude gesture. The other ladies watching also felt that Christina had gone too far with this action.
But after all, they were mother and daughter, and as bystanders, what could they really say? Fortunately, a nearby police officer quickly reached out to steady Paisley, preventing her from falling.
“Why are you pulling your daughter like that?” The police officer said to Christina, irritated.
Christina knew she was in the wrong. She had been anxious earlier, and that’s why she hadn’t been gentle. Hearing the officer speak this way, she quickly nodded and apologized to him.
The police officer was left bewildered. Why was she apologizing to him? Shouldn’t she be apologizing to her daughter? Paisley didn’t react much. Her expression was calm, and she just nodded slightly to the officer to thank him. Christina had only one daughter, and that was Brittany. She had never considered Paisley her real daughter.
Paisley turned to Donna and Daisy, who were still nervously caught in their dilemma, and gave them a calm smile. “Don’t

worry, when I say I won’t get involved, I won’t. You handle this however you want.”
Donna let out a long sigh of relief, and Daisy smiled and nodded at Paisley. When she turned back to look at Brittany, her face was full of mockery and hostility.
Brittany became anxious. She hurriedly hid behind Christina. “Mom,”
Christina was so hurt by Brittany’s pitiful “Mom” that she became even more anxious when looking at Paisley. “Paisley, how can you be so selfish?
