The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back (Paisley) novel Chapter 281

Inside the president's office at Vanderbilt Group, Dominick stared at his phone's darkened screen and let out a cold laugh. He thought, 'Paisley, once again, it has nothing to do with me, huh?'

He tossed his phone aside and pressed the intercom button. "Send Julian in."

Julian, who had been handling other tasks, rushed over as soon as he received a call from the secretary's office.

Initially, he thought Dominick had some urgent work for him, but when he saw the secretaries' uneasy and somewhat fearful expressions, he sensed that something was off.

He immediately knew that Dominick calling him over had to be related to Paisley. After all, Paisley was the only person who could make Dominick—who was always composed at work—lose his temper and break down.

Even though Julian had mentally prepared himself, he still found his breath hitching when he knocked and stepped into the office.

Defeated and lifeless, Dominick was completely off—he looked just like he did four years ago when he found out Paisley had left him for good.

"Mr. Vanderbilt," Julian called out cautiously, but Dominick didn't respond.

Dominick sat slumped in his chair, his head hanging low, as if he had stopped breathing altogether.

The office was deathly silent.

Julian took a deep breath. "Dom, are you okay?"

After a brief hesitation, he braced himself and asked, "Did Paisley do something again?"

'Why can't that woman just stay by Dom's side?'Julian thought.

It was true that there had been misunderstandings because of Marissa before.

But now that everything had been cleared up, and there were no fundamental issues between them.

Besides, they had two kids together. 'How could Paisley be so selfish?' thought Julian.

The moment Paisley's name was mentioned, Dominick finally reacted—his shoulders trembled slightly as he slowly lifted his head.

When the plane landed at Brightmoor Airport, it was already dark.

As soon as Paisley, Leo, and the others stepped out of the airport, they saw the car that had come to pick them up.

"Ms. Sutton, please get in the car," Leo urged anxiously.

As soon as he got off the plane, Leo had informed Max and learned from him that Tyson's condition had worsened. Time was of the essence now, and they had to rush to their destination as quickly as possible.

Almost the moment she got into the car, Paisley sensed the tension in the air. Not long after the car left the airport, she noticed that another vehicle seemed to be following them. "Leo, there's a car tailing us."

Leo glanced at the rearview mirror and immediately spotted the car that wouldn't shake off. He frowned and said to the driver beside him, "Speed up. Lose them."

Worried that Paisley might be frightened, Leo turned around and reassured her. "Ms. Sutton, don't worry. They're probably just following us and won't do anything to us."
