The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 542

"Paige!" Peyton scolded angrily.

Baillie looked at her, "I still call you Auntie out of respect. Last time, Mrs. Scott made it very clear - behave yourself, please. If any actions of you guys threaten my wife's reputation, mentally or physically, I'll definitely file a lawsuit."

Paige held Baillie's hand tightly.

In fact, when she just saw these people, Paige was very scared inside. She never dared to talk back to her mother, let alone Grant's intimidating look. Now, Baillie would help her.

Peyton and the others stood still, watching Baillie and Paige leave hand in hand.

"How could this happen?!" Peyton held her chest, feeling dizzy.

She thought that Paige would, at most, throw a tantrum for a few months like before, and then come home to apologize.

Why did it turn out like this?

Did she really not want her mother anymore?

"Auntie!" Kelsey stepped forward to support Peyton.

"Peyton, a daughter like Paige... you're better off without her. She has bad manners. Kelsey will take good care of you in the future, and Logan is a good boy, he'll also treat you well. Don't worry, just let it go." Kelsey's mom, on the surface, maybe offering comfort, but she was actually belittling Paige while elevating her own daughter.

Peyton covered her chest.

Was Paige's manner that bad?

But since she was young, Paige was always praised and liked by everyone, right?

To put it bluntly, Paige was like pure gold, a never-ending resource.

Originally, Grant planned to keep this fortune within the family by marrying Paige off to a reliable person. That way, no matter how much Paige earned, it would ultimately belong to the Sutton family.

Unexpectedly, a single argument caused them to lose this fortune!

Thinking about Paige's assets, Grant felt incredibly unwilling to accept this.

He thought to himself that when they returned that night, he needed to have a good talk with his wife. Even if they couldn't get Paige's assets, they still needed her connections.

Both Logan and he needed her connections!
