The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back (Paisley)

Brittany frowned as she quickly turned to check who it was. However, all she saw were perfectly made-

up faces, unable to figure out who had laughed.

Embarrassed, she turned back and awkwardly looked at Lauren. "I'm an actress, but I don't have many noteworthy works yet. I'm still working hard."

Lauren didn't care much about Brittany's profession. She was only using them to get closer to Paisley.

"That's nice," Lauren said perfunctorily. "I know a few directors. If they have any projects in the future and a suitable role, I'll recommend you

Lauren was just brushing her off. "In the future" meant it could take forever. "If meant it probably wouldn't happen.

But Brittany didn't notice and excitedly dreamed of starring in big productions one day. When she made it big in the entertainment world, she'd give Paisley a taste of her own medicine.

Christina, on the other hand, caught Lauren's dismissive tone but didn't care. After all, her target today wasn't the Vanderbilt family,

From the last wives' gathering, she learned that the Beaumont family had a younger son who was still single. Although he didn't have the best reputation, he was still a Beaumont.

If Brittany could catch Diana's attention and be introduced to her youngest son, she might have the chance to join the Beaumont family in the future. In Harrowfell, the Beaumont family's reputation was no less impressive than the Vanderbilt family's The more Christina

thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. She looked at Diana with increasing enthusiasm, eager to show off Brittany's virtues.

"Oh, my Brittany has such a sweet personality! She's been excellent in her studies since childhood and during college-

Diana had no patience to listen to Christina ramble on about Brittany. Smiling, she interrupted her mid-

sentence. "Why did you only bring one daughter today? Where's your other one?"

"My other daughter-Christina paused for a moment.

"Where is Ms. Paisley Sutton?" Diana asked directly.

Christina's face stiffened. Now she understood why these ladies were suddenly being so nice to her-

it must be because she had previously claimed to be Paisley's mother.

She had only done that to impress the gatekeeper. But now, she just wanted Brittany to shine and had no intention of mentioning Paisley. But Diana had the nerve to refer to Paisley with so much respect. Wasn't she just a screenwriter? Brittany's smile faltered for a moment. Why couldn't she escape Paisley's shadow no matter where she went?

"Oh, Paisy's got a bad temper. She's always arguing with me. As her mother, I have to put up with her attitude all the time. Brittany, on the

other hand, is my sweet and caring daughter"

To highlight Brittany, Christina didn't hesitate to badmouth Paisley. "And honestly, Paisley's nothing special. Just a mere screenwriter. She doesn't deserve to be respected by someone as esteemed as you, Diana."

Diana's smile faded slightly as she seemed to realize something. "Paisley is also the renowned painter, Ms. Vaire. Didn't you know?"

Christina froze, then immediately denied it. "You must be joking, Diana. She's no painter. She's just a screenwriter who goes by the pen name Nion V-"

Faced with Diana's unwavering certainty, Christina's mind went blank. Could it be that Paisley was truly the painter Nion

Vaire?noveldrama

Christina didn't know much about art, but ever since the Sullivan family rose to wealth and moved into a big villa, she had tried to emulate other wealthy ladies by hanging some artwork in her home.

She had done some research and learned about a few famous painters. One of them was Nion, whose painting had recently been auctioned for sixty million.

At the time, Christina had been astonished. Who could paint something worth so much? And now, to think it was Paisley all along.

Brittany was equally shocked. She had always assumed Paisley was just a screenwriter who

got lucky by marrying Dominick years ago. She never imagined Paisley was also a painter.

The revelation was so overwhelming that Brittany could barely maintain her smile. Underneath the table, her hands clenched tightly. Meanwhile, Lauren was equally stunned. Her eyes widened in disbelief. "My Paisy is Nion?"

"Not yours anymore. They're divorced, Diana reminded her.

Lauren shot her an annoyed look but ignored her, still in shock. "I absolutely love Nion's work. I've watched every single show of hers."

Lauren's comment quickly resonated with the other ladies present.

"Same here! With all the short videos these days, I barely have the patience to watch anything. But when it comes to Nion's shows, I can watch from start to finish without skipping!" Young Lady A said. "Me tool Isn't her latest project starting production soon?" asked Young Lady B.

"Yes, but I heard the lead actress isn't very

suitable. She was pushed in through connection, but then that connection also abandoned her," said Young Lady A.

"Exactly. It's been such a mess. I don't even bother with entertainment gossip anymore," said Young Lady B.

Hearing the conversation shift toward herself, Brittany straightened her back nervously, worried they might mock her next. Thankfully, they soon moved on to other topics.

Seeing how much the ladies admired Nion, Lauren felt a pang of regret. She had once had

such a wonderful daughter-in-

law but didn't treasure her. Now that she had lost her, she was filled with remorse.

And to make things worse, Diana just had to stir the pot.

Christina hadn't expected that despite her efforts to undermine Paisley, she had unintentionally boosted Paisley's reputation even

further. Watching Brittany being completely overlooked, Christina was filled with

resentment. Today was supposed to be Brittany's day to shine.

Christina said, "Ladies, let's not talk about that ungrateful girl anymore. She's always arguing with me and doesn't care about me at all. I raised her, and this is how she treats me? It's heartbreaking. You all have children- you must understand how I feel as a mother." Lauren, however, couldn't quite understand Christina. "Paisley's daughter just had surgery for a ruptured spleen and is

hospitalized. You're Serena's grandma. Don't you know?"
