The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back (Paisley) novel 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 again.

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. Hale, why don't you take these documents in for Mr. 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 rage.

Dominick sat behind his desk, head in his hands, his shoulders rising and falling with each heavy breath.

"Mr. Vanderbilt, please sign." Julian placed the document in front of Dominick's desk, carefully observing Dominick's reaction.

Since the incident with Marissa, he had become aware of his biases against Paisley. After an honest conversation with Dominick, he returned to his side as his assistant.

"Should I reach out to the Sullivan family and let them know you've agreed to dinner?"

Dominick thought for a moment and then nodded. "Sure, go ahead."

When Brittany received Julian's call, she was trying on costumes at the set.

Even though filming had been paused, the set had already been built, and she didn't have much to do, so she often visited the set. As the leading lady of the production, she ordered people around, even the director, without a second thought.

"Mr. Hale, hello!" Brittany's voice was loud, practically ensuring that everyone around could hear her.
