The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back (Paisley)

Chapter 64



Back then, Paisley had baked a fruitcake herself for her birthday the next day. Somehow, Marissa ended up eating it. Paisley didn't know Marissa was allergic to mango-just like Dominick and Grayson didn't remember that the next day was Paisley's birthday.

Paisley remembered how Grayson had looked at her back then. It was exactly just as furious as he was now, convinced she had deliberately given Marissa the mango cake to hurt the girl he liked.noveldrama

Dominick had believed in Paisley's innocence at the time. Even so, he spent her entire birthday at the hospital with Marissa, completely forgetting about her special day. Even after all this time, the memory of that day still weighed heavily on Paisley's heart.

As Paisley was lost in her thoughts, Alexis was already speaking, her voice firm and accusatory.

Alexis said firmly, "Are you still going to deny it? It was you. You were scared Marissa would outshine you, so you sabotaged her. When she rode past you, you spooked her horse and caused her to fall off." Paisley couldn't help but nod in admiration at those words. There really was some truth to them. "Do you have any proof?" she asked, utterly calm, showing none of the anxiety one might expect from someone whose misdeeds had been exposed.

"Proof? What more proof do we need?" Alexis shot back. "Everyone here saw it with their own eyes. That's proof enough."

The crowd then murmured in agreement. It wasn't that they couldn't be bothered to find evidence-it was that they didn't care to. They'd rather side with Marissa. As for the truth? It didn't matter to them. Just like Alexis said, they'd all witnessed Marissa's horse go wild just as she was about to overtake Paisley. And Paisley seemed almost prepared, not only avoiding the chaos entirely but also leaping her horse cleanly out of the arena.

It was such a flawless reaction that some even thought not even the renowned equestrian Yohan could have pulled it off.

Just then, voice cut through the chatter. "Maybe there's been some kind of misunderstanding." What shocked everyone wasn't just the words themselves but the person who'd said them-Dominick. Alexis, who had been fervently championing Marissa just moments ago, froze in disbelief, wondering if she'd misheard him. Even Marissa herself hadn't expected him to take Paisley's side at a time like this. Marissa looked at Dominick with a pitiful expression, her beautiful eyes brimming with grievance. "Dom...but my horse was fine before. How come it freaked out right when I was about to overtake her..." He didn't believe Paisley would stoop to such dirty tricks, but he also didn't think Marissa would falsely accuse her. So, he could only say, "There's probably some misunderstanding here. Maybe something really is wrong with the horse."

"But you were the one who chose the horse for me. How could there be a problem?" Marissa's voice was tinged with frustration.

Dominick had chosen the horse himself, so it couldn't possibly have any issues. Marissa was kind-hearted and wouldn't try to frame Paisley. Thus, that left only one possibility-Paisley had to be the problem. Paisley, unfazed and unbothered, raised an eyebrow. "If there's a problem, why don't we ask the horse?" As she spoke, a staff member led the horse over with an apologetic expression. "I'm so sorry. The horse got spooked and caused your injury. I've already contacted David and the medical team-they're on their way.'

Yet, no one paid attention to the staff member's explanation. All eyes were fixed on Paisley instead. Alexis crossed her arms and said sharply, "The horse is perfectly fine now. Think you can make it freak out again?"

Someone in the crowd echoed her thoughts, pondering, 'Exactly. The horse was fine before, and it's fine now. It only freaked out when it was near Paisley. Nobody would believe her unless she can make it act up again.

Paisley chuckled, "Sure, let's make it act up again."

Earlier, while everyone else was fussing over Marissa, Paisley had noticed something unusual about the horse. The white stallion had been repeatedly swishing its tail against its right hindquarter.

Stepping closer, Paisley raised her hand and gave a firm slap to the spot where the tail had been

brushing. The horse immediately let out a shrill neigh and went berserk once more.
