Chapter 222
She tightened her grip on Serena’s hand. Thinking of how Serena had asked Maria what an illegitimate child was, she felt like slapping Lauren again.
“Alright, Paisy, Max, let’s eat something first, Maria said as she helped arrange the food.
Max stood up. “I’ll pass on the food. I’m heading back now” Since it was on the way, Maria followed Max out of the hospital.
Outside the hospital, Dominick sat in the car, unwilling to leave. Only after he saw Max walking out and driving away did he slowly withdraw his gaze and tell Julian, “Leave two people here, keep it low–key, don’t let Paisley find out.”
“Got it. Julian answered, then turned to Dominick. “Dom, from what Paisy said, Max is just a neighbor. I don’t think she would lie to you about that. It’s probably true.”
Dominick didn’t reply. He just stared coldly ahead, at the direction Max’s car had gone. He was a man, and he understood men. The way Max looked at Paisley, there was nothing innocent about it.
In the car. Leo glanced at Dominick’s car through the rearview mirror, then shrugged and got down to business. “Max, I just got word. We found the person who knows where your sister is.

Reginald handed the test report to Paul. “Dad, look, you have a great–granddaughter. Paisley’s daughter is your great- granddaughter!”
Paul had already gone to bed last night since he returned late. Plus, to avoid worrying Paul, no one from the Vanderbilt family told him about Grayson’s incident yesterday. So Paul had only just found out what had happened.
As he looked at the report, a rare smile appeared on his face. For once, something good had happened in this troublesome family.
“Useless. I advise you not to get too excited,” Kayla said, throwing a cold splash of water on the mood. “Mom, don’t forget how you treated them yesterday. You called Serena a bastard right in front of Paisley. There’s no way they’ll accept us now.”
