Chapter 424
Maybe it was because they saw how determined Paige was, the Sharp family started getting all worked up. “Did you see that? Just now? She’s willing to cut ties with her mom over something so trivial! You probably don’t know, but her dad died early. It was her mom who single–handedly raised her. And now, just when she becomes an adult, she treats her mom like this…”
“If I had a mother like that, I’d cut ties with her too.” Surprisingly, Baillie coldly interrupted, “Besides, this is not a small matter. It’s her granny we’re talking about. Even if it’s just a minor injury, I’d support her all the way. If she let this go, I’d say that’s being awful to families.”
“You…” Peyton’s hand, pointing at Baillie, was shaking uncontrollably.
“Auntie, nice to meet you.” Baillie’s tone remained icy, “Paige is great. If you don’t want her, I will. Finishing his piece, he looked away and whispered to Paige, “Let’s go.”
“Wait! You guys can’t leave!” Peyton became flustered. She got out of bed without even putting on her shoes and chased after them.
“Paige!” She ran out of the room and called out to Paige’s retreating back. Paige stopped, hesitated for a moment.
“Wait for me.” She said to Baillie, then turned towards Peyton. Peyton’s eyes were filled with tears, “I know you’re just mad, you don’t really want to leave me!”
Paige walked up to Peyton and stared deeply into her eyes. Then, she reached out to wipe away her tears, “From now on, I’ll give you living expenses every month. No need to call me, no messages either. I’ll put you on my blocklist.” Peyton froze, fresh tears gushing out, her head shaking nonstop.
“Paige, you can’t treat me like this!” she sobbed, grabbing Paige’s hand. Paige shook her head slightly, trying to suppress her turbulent emotions, “I’ve given you so many chances, but you just…you just don’t love me.”
“No, that’s not true!”
“You would push me into the abyss for anyone related to the Sutton family, but why? My dad loved me, and I grew up with families‘ care and love just like the others. So why must you always sacrifice me? If the Sutton family and Uncle Sutton are so important to you, what does it matter if I’m here or not?”
“Paige, your mom definitely didn’t handle things well today. Let’s go home and talk, huh? If you have any grievances, I will stand up for you!” Grant, propping up his wife, pleaded earnestly.
Paige gave a faint smile.
“Uncle Logan, people always say you’re a great stepfather, and I used to think so too. You supported me, sent me to a good school, and I’m truly grateful and guilty.” Paige looked up at Grant, “But… do you really not know what my mom’s been doing?”
Grant hesitated, guiltily avoiding Paige’s gaze. “In the past few years, I’ve introduced four or five big clients to your company, more than enough to repay you for your support.” Paige said, “We’re even now.”
“Paige…” Grant wanted to say more, but Paige pulled her hand away from Peyton and walked back. The Sutton family had always been a cage to her. Today, she finally unlocked it and regained her freedom.
“Let’s go.” She walked up to Baillie, who nodded. Before leaving, he glanced toward Peyton’s direction. A few people had emerged from the hospital room, all chattering and seemingly not saying anything pleasant.
As he looked away, Baillie’s gaze met Logan’s. Filled with anger, Logan stared back. With a disdainful smile, Baillie looked away and followed Paige as they left.

You can certainly see your enthusiasm in the paintings you write. The arena hopes for even more passionate writers like you who are not afraid to say how they believe. At all times follow your heart. “Faith in the ability of a leader is of slight service unless it be united with faith in his justice.” by George Goethals.
Throughout the grand scheme of things you actually get an A+ just for effort. Where you actually confused me was first on the particulars. You know, it is said, the devil is in the details… And it couldn’t be much more true here. Having said that, allow me tell you just what did give good results. Your text is very convincing and this is most likely the reason why I am taking an effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, while I can certainly see the leaps in reason you make, I am not really convinced of how you seem to unite the ideas which in turn help to make the conclusion. For now I will, no doubt yield to your point however trust in the foreseeable future you connect your facts better.

My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on various websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
