Chapter 242 "So, you
pushedout and, because there were no cameras, you said | was the one who pushed Brittany, right?" Paisley
asked sharply.
"But you did push her, didn't you? Why else would you be standing there?" Christina continued to argue.
Paisley looked coldly at Christina. "Whether | pushed her or not, you know the truth, Brittany knows, and even
the neighbors
know."

Christina, of course, knew full well that Paisley had never pushed Brittany, and she also knew Brittany had
intentionally fallen to ruin the neighbor's daughter's face.

"But in the end, didn't everything turn out fine? Didn't you apologize, and the neighbors didn't pursue it?" argued
Christina. Not only did they not pursue it, they even smiled and moved away.
"Yeah, why didn't they pursue it?" Paisley's eyes grew cold as she revealed the truth from back then. "It's
because | paid them seventeen million dollars and promised to cover all their immigration expenses, as well as
the girl's future surgeries and education." Paisley had never told anyone from the Sullivan family about this
because after her grandfather passed away, she realized that having too much money could make her a target
for others.
At that time, she was too tired to deal with others. All she ever wanted was a family.
"What did you say?" Christina exploded, as if those millions of dollars had been taken right from her hands. "You
had that much money back then, why didn't you tellsooner?"
"Tell you sooner?" Paisley sneered. "So you could take all my money and give it to Brittany?"
Hit right where it hurt, Christina didn't know how to respond and could only glare at Paisley in frustration.
"Apart from these two things, there are so many others. Every tBrittany and | had a disagreement, you never
cared about who was right or wrong, you always sided with Brittany. And now you're tellingwe're family? I'm
your daughter?" Paisley's eyes reddened. Even though she had gotten used to it, even though she no longer
cared, she still felt like crying. It wasn't because Christina didn't love her, but because she had never loved
herself enough.
She used to think that if she gave others love, she would receive the sin return. But that wasn't true. Love is

too late. Brittany stood behind Christina, clearly feeling the
shift in the way the other ladies were looking at her. Alarmed, she subtly tugged at Christina, hoping she would
quickly cup with a solution to fix this.
Christina could also sense the change in the crowd's attitude. She hated Paisley for making things so difficult.
"What are you talking about now? Why bring up all this old stuff? What matters now is Brittany. | need you to
apologize right away. "Whether
with money or any other way, just make sure they let Brittany go. If you don't do it, don't ever call'Mom'
again!"
To Christina, this was her final trump card. She had seen how desperately Paisley craved family and her
approval, how humble she had been. So, she didn't believe that Paisley truly didn't want her as a mother, What
Paisley had just said was simply a way to express her grievances.
