The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back by Juliette Vaughan

Chapter 279

When Paisley saw Max's name on the screen, her heart tensed up.

The ringing sounded almost like a death knell.

"Paisley, aren't you going to answer?" It wasn't until Linna spoke that Paisley finally picked up the call.

However, before she could say anything, Max spoke first, "Ms. Sutton, could you come to Brightmoor for a moment?"

His voice sounded urgent this was the first time Paisley had ever heard Max like this.

"Did something happen?" Paisley asked.

"Yes. It's my adoptive father—he's injured. I can't call a doctor, so I have no choice but to ask for your help. Please, I'm begging you!" Max's plea was humble, his dignity cast aside as he desperately sought Paisley's help to treat his adoptive father.

But Paisley quickly caught onto something. "You can't call a doctor?"

Paisley felt confused. Brightmoor wasn't as elite a city as Harrowfell, but its medical resources were still abundant.

Max sighed, "It's complicated. A lot of people are hoping for my adoptive father to have an accident right now, but he absolutely cannot afford to. If anyone finds out, it won't just affect me and my adoptive father-the entire Godard family will be thrown into chaos."

Although his explanation was vague, Paisley got the general idea.

In prestigious families, things were either harmonious or filled with power struggles. Clearly, the Vanderbilt family was one of the harmonious ones, whereas the internal strife within the Godard family was likely even worse than that of the Beaumonts in Harrowfell.

After all, the current head had no biological children-only Max, his adoptive son.

That meant if Tyson had an accident, the position of the next family head would be up for grabs.
