Chapter 281

Inside the president's office at Vanderbilt Group, Dominick stared at his phone's darkened screen and let out a cold laugh. He thought, 'Paisley, once again, it has nothing to do with me, huh?'

He tossed his phone aside and pressed the intercom button. "Send Julian in."

Julian, who had been handling other tasks, rushed over as soon as he received a call from the secretary's office.

Initially, he thought Dominick had some urgent work for him, but when he saw the secretaries' uneasy and somewhat fearful expressions, he sensed that something was off.

He immediately knew that Dominick calling him over had to be related to Paisley. After all, Paisley was the only person who could make Dominick-who was always composed at work-lose his temper and break down.

Even though Julian had mentally prepared himself, he still found his breath hitching when he knocked and stepped into the office.

Defeated and lifeless, Dominick was completely off-he looked just like he did four years ago when he found out Paisley had left him for good.

"Mr. Vanderbilt," Julian called out cautiously, but Dominick didn't respond.
