Chapter 109 Back when Paisley had walked away from the Sullivans after their fallout , the family was doing okay at best .
At the time , the familys business had been barely scraping by Gregorys watch back then was a modest model worth a few tens of thousands of dollars .
But now , in just four short years , it seemed their wealth had multiplied exponentially .
There was no way Gregorys brainpower pulled this off alone .
The Sullivan family had to have some major player backing them .
Without it , there was no way the company wouldve survived , let alone thrived , in four years ..
That explained Brittanys boldness to land a lead role in that movie .
It turned out the family had the cash to throw around .
But seriously , Paisley thought , whos dumb enough to bankroll the Sullivans ? Must be someone with more dollars than sense .
Paisley wasnt about to waste energy on them .
She gave them a quick once over before heading toward the exit Gregory wasnt having it .
He barked , Tms talking to you .

Whats wrong with you ? Ever heard of respect ! His outburst echoed through the hospital lobby , drawing stares from passersby .
Paisley stopped mid step , spun around , and glared at the trio .
Whats your problem ? she shot back coldly .
Starting drama this early ? Save yourself the headache You better watch your tone .
Gregory fumed , practically puffing up with indignation .
Paisley , come on , Brittany chimed in , looking all concerned while paning Gregorys arm like she was calming a raging bull .
Dads just worried about you .
You shouldnt lash out at him this way .
Hold it right there , Paisley snapped .
Who do you think you are to talk to me ? Brittanys face darkened as she glared at Paisley , Gregory , seemingly calmed down , patted Brittanys hand .
His gaze lingered on Parsleys out a cheap T shirt and jeans with a worn looking backpack slung over her shoulder .
It seemed like life hadnt been kind to her .
He sighed heavily as if trying to appear magnanimous .
Since youre back , you should come home .
Were family , after all .
We wont leave you out there to fend for yourself Forget it , Paisley replied flatly Gregory grew irritated at her defiance .
If you werent my Desh and blood , do you think Id bother with you ? Youve been out there all these years- havent you learned your lesson yer ? Paisley let out a sharp laugh .
Oh , so you do remember Ive been gone for years ? Nine years .
After nine long years of being ignored by the Sullivan family , they now had the nerve to play the concerned family members .
It was laughable to Paisley .
Gregory was momentarily stunned before snarling , You insolent brat .
Looks like you still need to be taught a lesson Paisley had no interest in continuing this pointless back and forth .
She turned on her heel and walked away Behind her , Gregorys voice thundered through the hospital lobby .
Im warning you dont you dare go around claiming youre my daughter .
If you embarrass us and tarnish the reputation of the Sullivan family, I wont let it slide .
Now , it made sense to Paisley The Sullivan family had climbed up the social ladder and didnt want her tarnishing their shiny new reputation as his daughter .
Paisley rolled her eyes so hard at that .
His words sounded like shed ever be desperate enough to fact their name Why waste your breath on her ? Christina snapped , glaring at Paisleys retreating figure .
When shes at her last straw , shell come crawling back to us .
Besides , everyone knows Brittany is our only daughter .
Even if she tries to claim shes part of our family , whos going to believe her Dad , lets just focus on why were here , Brittany said , nudging Gregory .
We need to check on Mr.
Paul Vanderbilt quickly .
Gregory snapped out of his anger , realizing Brittany was right .
This was the real reason theyd come to the hospital .
He composed himself and ushered Christina and Brittany into the elevator .
