With that logic, most of them concluded that the problem likely lay with Paisley herself.
Thinking this, the ladies began cautiously glancing at Lauren. They all now knew that Paisley was Lauren's former daughter- in-law.
Lauren had originally felt dissatisfied with Christina, thinking it ridiculous that a mother could be so unconcerned about her own biological daughter. But hearing her explanation now, she started to feel that it made some sense. Lauren knew just how stubborn Paisley could be. Otherwise, she wouldn't have insisted on divorce back then, walking away from her husband and son, leaving everything behind.
Looking back, even though Marissa had stirred the pot, Dominick hadn't cheated. At most, he just neglected Paisley a bit more than he should have. And about Grayson, Lauren had to admit, she had spoiled him too much back then. she hadn't said good things about Paisley in front of Grayson, which led him to develop a poor opinion of her. But still, he was her son. Was it really necessary to be so resolute and just give up on him? Grayson was just a kid. He could still change if Paisley decided to teach him. Now that Sonny was
a bit older, he was much more sensible than when he was younger. But Paisley just wouldn't change her mind.
Dominick was still hung up on Paisley, refusing to even look at other
women. Grayson constantly cried for his mom, asking for
her. And most importantly, Paisley's daughter was the granddaughter Lauren had always dreamed of having. So no matter what, she had to win Paisley over.
At that moment, Lauren looked at Christina again and suddenly felt a sense of camaraderie. She dropped her previous scrutinizing gaze and took Christina's hand. "It hasn't been easy for you either."
Seeing that things were turning in her favor, Christina immediately lowered her head and pretended to wipe away tears. Diana didn't say anything, just sat there quietly watching the drama unfold.
From school days, she had said Lauren was stupid, but Lauren never admitted it. If it weren't for her strong family background, with her fickle personality, how could she have possibly married into the Vanderbilt family?
Brittany also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but inside, she hated Paisley to the core. 'Damn Paisley, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to publicly admit that I'm adopted.
The word "adopted" had always been a sore spot for Brittany. But now, in order to avoid arousing suspicion from the other ladies, she had no choice but to say it.
After the previous lesson, Christina didn't dare to recommend Brittany too aggressively. She could only let Brittany go sit with the other young ladies. If she found a few young ladies she could get along with, making friends could still be useful for networking. Brittany naturally understood Christina's intent, so she smiled and walked over to join other young ladies. The ladies present were all daughters or daughters-
in-law of top families. Brittany had nothing but the status of Paisley's younger sister,
The Sullivan family was nothing compared to these top-tier families. In front of them, they were
barely a watchdog. In this environment, Brittany could only lower her status and flatter others deliberately. Every word she spoke
was aimed at pleasing the others.noveldrama
However, this lowly attitude didn't win her any favor from the other young ladies. Instead, it only invited ridicule.
"I say, we're not children anymore. Could you stop pretending to be so innocent? It's so fake, it's disgusting," said Daisy Levine, whose mother had recently been subtly humiliated by Christina in front of everyone. Secing Brittany now, Daisy was in no mood to be nice.
