Chapter 174 Paisley parked her car in an alley a short distance from the hotel .
She put away her phone , her expression neutral .
It was clear Gregory was getting anxious .
The more desperate he seemed , the more curious she became about what exactly the Sullivan family was plotting Are you really going in ! The Sullivan family definitely doesnt have good intentions , Lucy said worriedly from beside her .
Ever since learning about Brittanys relationship with Paisley and how the Sullivan family had ignored Paisley for so many years , Lucy had harbored nothing but disdain for them .
It was obvious the Sullivan family never acted without self interest .
Their sudden invitation to Paisley reeked of ulterior motives .
Paisley was well aware of this but couldnt help her curiosity about their plans and , more importantly , the mysterious figure backing the Sullivan family .
Of course , she wasnt foolish enough to walk into the trap unprepared .
Glancing at the van parked behind her , filled with bodyguards Lucy had hired , Paisley instructed , Ill head in first .
Wait here for my signal .
If you dont hear from me in thirty minutes , come in with everyone .

Lucy nodded enthusiastically , unable to hide the excitement in her eyes .
She loved doing thrilling things , and the more intense they were , the more exhilarated she felt .
Knowing her apprentices personality well , Paisley smiled and said , When the time comes , dont hold back .
Smash everything people , objects , whatever just go all out .
Dont worry .
Ive got it covered Lucy said with a mischievous grin , her tone laced with determination .
Good , I trust you to handle this , Paisley replied .
With that , Paisley got out of the car and walked toward the hotel , completely unaware that Dominicks s car had just passed hers by .
Inside the private room , the film crew members were growing increasingly uneasy as they overheard the conversation at the main table .
Gary , whats Brittany trying to pull here ? Inviting us to watch her sister on a blind date ? The assistant directors face darkened in frustration .
He couldnt wait to leave .
Garys expression was just as grim , though he kept his composure .
Lets wait a little longer Although Brinany hadnt explicitly stated it , her hints had been clear .
She had promised that a powerful backer from her side would show up tonight , someone she would introduce to Gary .
Gary didnt care about Brittanys dinner party itself , but he was very interested in this mysterious backer .
This persons identity would determine whether he had to abandon the project entirely .
If the backer turned out to be untouchable , hed have no cholor but to step away from the film , leaving another director to take over .
Although he felt guilty about possibly letting Nion down , he couldnt afford to offend powerful figures or ruin his own reputation .
Of course , this was something Gary kept to himself .
As long as there was a chance to salvage the project , he wouldnt give up .
That made the identity of Brittanys backer all the more critical to him tonight .
Seeing Carys strained expression , the assistant directors could only hold their frustrations and stay seated .
It was their first time being humiliated by a relatively unknown actress .
At the main table , with Baron gone , Brittany felt much more at case .
She occasionally glanced over at Garys table , savoring the sight of their anger and formed restrain .
It gave her immense satisfaction .
Lately , the films production had been delayed , and key actors had quit one after another .
While the crew kept quiet publicly , they frequently gossiped , complained , and even cursed her in private .
Previously , her relationship with Dominick had been ambiguous .
Everything was left to speculation within her family , and while she knew she held 1/2 3:55 PM Chapter 174 a special place in Dominicks heart , she couldnt openly claim it But after tonight , everything would change .
Her backer was someone even the entertainment industrys most powerful figures couldnt challenge .
Brittany could hardly wait to see Garys reaction when he met Dominick , bowing and scraping in submission The thought of Paisley dealing with the disgusting Baron next door while she basked in attention and respect thanks to Dominick made Brittany feel euphoric .
This was the life she deserved the best the world had to offer .
Meanwhile , at another table , the Jackman family was growing impatient .
They had been sitting there for ages with only a few small appetizers on the table and not a single main dish .
Gregory , whats the hold up ? Do you expect us to sit here drinking air ? Keith snapped angrily .
Without Dominick present , Gregory didnt dare start the meal .
Unlike Paisley , Dominick wasnt someone he could pressure .
Glancing at the time , Gregory said , Just a little longer .
Were still waiting for another guest .
Keith sneered , Youre really putting in the effort to sell off your daughter , huh ! Gregorys face stiffened , but he didnt respond .
Keith leaned back in his chair , his disdain evident .
Fine , lets see who youve managed to invite .
But let me n wont make a difference .
If my son doesnt like your daughter , all your efforts will be for nothing Marianne rolled her eyes .
make it clear no matter who it is , it Even if he does like her , well need to observe her first .
Not just anyone can marry into the Jackman family .
Your daughter didnt even finish school what good genes could she pass on ? Let them date first , and if she has a son , well talk The Jackman familys blatant disrespect made Gregorys blood pressure skyrocket .
He nearly exploded with rage .
Just then , his phone rang , interrupting his outburst .
It was a servant calling .
What is it ? Mr.
Sullivan , some people claiming to be from the Vanderbilt family just dropped off a lot of gifts at the house , said the servant .
The Vanderbilt family sent gifts to our house ? Gregorys shock was evident as his expression brightened .
Hearing the words the Vanderbilt family , the Jackmans widened their eyes , and they immediately perked up to listen .
Noticing their reaction , Gregory let out a cold snort and continued listening Yes , sir .
They delivered many expensive items .
They ey look like said the паппу Look like what ? Gregory interrupted her .
Betrothal gifts Betrothal gifts ! Gregory exclaimed , quickly instructing the nanny , Send me a video right away !
