The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back (Paisley) novel Chapter 147

This was a truth even Dominick didn't know. He always believed Marissa's father died in an accident while coming to pick him up.

For all these years, he carried guilt, thinking that if he hadn't gone out that day, Mr. Prescott wouldn't have died, and Marissa wouldn't have lost her father.

So, he treated Marissa with more leniency, even more than he did with Kayla. But now the truth came out. It was almost ironic.

Kayla and Lauren were also shocked, as they only now learned the real story.

When Marissa's father had the accident, both Dominick and Marissa were still children, and Marissa's mother was ill, so she couldn't handle the situation. Reginald had to step in to take care of everything.

Lauren and Kayla had no idea of the truth. They thought Marissa's father had an accident while coming to pick up Dominick. They both felt guilty toward Marissa.

Plus, Marissa had always acted sweet and well-behaved in front of them, which made them want to protect her. That's why Lauren took her in to raise her as part of the Vanderbilt family all these years.

And now, to think the child they had carefully raised for all these years turned out to be a venomous woman.

"I don't believe it. You're lying to me." Marissa couldn't accept Reginald's words. All these years, she had been holding on to this anger.

The reason she wanted to marry Dominick and take everything from the Vanderbilt family was because she believed they owed her. Now she was being told that everything was her father's own fault, and the Vanderbilt family didn't owe her anything.

Reginald said, "If you don't believe it, you can check. Although many years have passed, the police will definitely have a record of the truth."

In an instant, the light of hope in Marissa's eyes completely vanished. She knew the Vanderbilt family wouldn't help her anymore.

She looked desperately at Julian. "Julian, help me. I know you like me. If you help me, I'll marry you, okay?"

Julian didn't expect that Marissa would think of him in her final moment, nor did he expect her to blatantly expose the dark secret he had been hiding for so long.

Yes, he liked Marissa, he had liked her since high school. He was biased toward her. He always thought he wasn't good enough for her, that only someone from a family like Dominick's deserved her.

So, he hid his feelings deep inside, never revealing them. And because of that, his prejudice against Paisley was so deep. He thought it was Paisley who stole the happiness that should have been Marissa's. It was also Paisley who had repeatedly sabotaged Marissa.

Under Marissa's subtle guidance, he had viewed Paisley as a woman with evil intentions.

But reality slapped him hard in the face, telling him he had been played all along. Marissa had known he liked her all along, so she used him to target and slander Paisley.

'So that's how it was. Julian, you truly are a useless fool!' he thought to himself.

"Sorry, Ms. Prescott, but I can't help you." Julian took a step back, decisive and indifferent.
