Chapter 241
Just because | show a little favoritism to Brittany, you're going to just watch her get bullied? I really wish-
"To strangle me, right?" This time, Paisley finished Christina's sentence before she could. She had heard this
countless times before.
She used to be too lazy to argue with Christina. Since she knew Christina favored her adopted daughter, saying
anything more wouldn't help. But today, in front of these high- society ladies and the police, she suddenly felt
like having a conversation.
"I'm selfish?" Paisley locked eyes with Christina's frustrated gaze. "I'm your daughter. | got lost when | was three
and cback hwhen | was seventeen.

"Fourteen years passed in between. Any mother who loves her child would try to make up for the years they lost
when their daughter finally returns. But what did you do?" "l-what did | do wrong? Didn't | raise you well?"
Christina was feeling guilty. She avoided
Paisley's gaze. "And is this really the tto talk about this? The important thing now is Brittany!"
"Brittany, Brittany, it's always about Brittany with you. When | was seventeen and just chome, Brittany had
a conflict with a girl and hit her. The girl's parents clooking for us, and without a word, you pushedout.
"You said Brittany was just being impulsive, and that as the older sister, | should help my sister. Then | was
beaten for nearly half an hour by that girl's parents.
"I couldn't even stand up after the beating, and what did you say? You said the wounds were
too minor to need a doctor, that I should just rest at home."
Fortunately, Paisley knew smedical skills and protected her vital areas during the beating, avoiding serious
internal injuries. Later, when Gregory asked about it, Christina completely blamed Paisley and perfectly cleared
Brittany of all responsibility. No matter how much Paisley tried to explain, Gregory wouldn't believe her. Because
Gregory couldn't believe that Christina would do this to her biological daughter. Since Christina said so, the truth
must be what she said.
As a result, Paisley received her first warning from Gregory, who had always cared about his reputation.
"How could you still remember such a small thing? You're just so petty!" Christina continued to look for excuses.
"Yes, I'm petty. That's why | remember everything clearly! When Brittany was 18, she was jealous of
the neighbor's daughter who got into the film academy, while she didn't. So, when both families went ice skating
together, Brittany fell, taking the neighbor's daughter down with her.
"The skate blade just happened to cut the neighbor's daughter's face, leaving a deep gash that went from one
side of her face to the other."
"Oh my, so her face was ruined? How could she still go to the film academy? How could she be an actress?" said
one of the ladies.

"Yeah, that's terrifying!" said another lady. "How could this woman be so cruel?"
If what Paisley had said earlier had already made the ladies there dislike Christina and Brittany, this new
revelation sent a chill down their spines. This was typical of someone who would destroy things they couldn't
get. Brittany's face turned bright red. She knew she couldn't admit she had done it on purpose. "I-
| didn't mean to do it. | really didn't-"
"But you still ruined her life!" Diana spoke angrily.
"Yeah, that girl's life was ruined, and of course she wouldn't
let Brittany off easily. Beat what did my mother, Mrs. Sullivan, do then?" Paisley turned to look at Christina
Christina again avoided Paisley's gaze, yet she still spoke with self-
righteousness, "Well, Brittany didn't do it on purpose. She was scared too. Shouldn't you help her?"
