"Surely a biological mother wouldn't do something like that," Dominick murmured. He could understand the
Sullivan parents’ favoritism toward Brittany, but he couldn't believe they would abandon their own child.
Compared to Paisley, Brittany had spent much more twith the Sullivan family. But Paisley was their biological
daughter. How could her biological mother have deliberately abandoned her?
A mother who could treat an adopted daughter as her own wouldn't possibly throw away her biological daughter.
Dominick had listened to Gregory's explanation yesterday. He believed there must have been some

But after learning from his p
past mistakes, he didn't dare act rashly and upset Paisley again. That was why he cto ask Emery for advice.

Emery glared at Dominick "She said, "Why did you cback! Why didn't you just die out there? Tell me, is that
something a mother should say to her child
Emery's words reminded Dominick of
what had happened yesterday at the hotel, when Christina had thrown a large bowl at Paisley without hesitation.
If he hadn't stepped in, the plate would have hit Paisley Just then, Emery's phone rang. She glanced at the caller
ID-it was Paisley.
"Hold on. Lettake this," Emery said, covering the
phone so Dominick couldn't see who was calling. She walked briskly into her office. "Hey, sweethean, let's have
lunch together, Paisley said as soon as Emery answered. After what had happened yesterday, Paisley had
received a call early this morning from Gary, asking her to cto the set to discuss what to do
Brittany was definitely getting replaced. But since her casting had already been announced publicly, finding a
new actress willing to step in at this stage was proving to be a challenge.
The once smoothly running production had been completely disrupted by Brittany, and now everything had to
start over. Feeling upset, Paisley thought a lunch with Emery might help her decompress. But
something about Emery's voice seemed off. She didn't respond right away, and Paisley could hear her running
before she finally answered, "Hoary, lettell you
Before Emery could Enish, Christina's hysterical voice rang out, loud enough to fill Paisley's
"Why is it so noisy? Is someone arguing?" Emery asked over the phone, clearly irritated by the noise.
"Yeah, I'll talk to you later," Paisley replied, casually placing
her phone on the table, assuming Emery would hang up.
She didn't bother checking Just as she was about to go see what was happening, Christina and Brittany
appeared in front of her.
"Paisley, did you instruct these people to block Brittany? She's the lead actress in this production!" Christina's
voice was sharp and grating, her face full of hostility.
Brittany's face was pale with anger. As the lead actress, she'd never been stopped anywhere on set before, but
just now someone had dared to block her

Facing these two, Paisley remained calm. She looked at Brittany
and said, "The production team has already contacted legal counsel. You'll receive a
contract termination notice sGOIL
This is a breach of contract Brittany protested angrily. She had worked so hard to secure the lead role.
"Didn't you
read the contract when you signed it? There are a few exemption clauses, and they apply perfectly to you. But
even if they didn't, and we had to pay the breach penalty, I'd cover the cost myself. "You" Brittany's voice broke
as tears streamed down her face. She raised
her voice even higher. "Why are you always against me?"
"Because | can't stand you." Paisley replied bluntly, making no effort to hide her disdain.
"Paisley!" Christina couldn't bear to see Brittany upset. She glared at Paisley, about to launch into a tirade, but
then her calculating eyes flickered with an idea Fine. Brittany can step away from this role, Christina said.
"Mom!" Brittany protested.
Christina patted her hand, signaling her to stay quiet. Turning back to Paisley, she said, "But here's the deal:

together?
