Chapter 197 At Emerys shop , the atmosphere was so quies you could hear a pin drop .
Enserys hands trembled as she held her phone , her breaths coming quickly .
Finally , she lung her phone onto the couch .
That bitch ! How dare she treat my girl like this ! Im so angry ! She tumed , her eyes red and glared at Dominick .
This is what you call a misunderstanding ? A misunderstanding ! Dominick , you bastard , you actually stood up for those kinds of people ! No wonder Paisley luates you .
I hate you too ! Christina doesnt even deserve to be called a mother ! What kind of mother treats her daughter like that ? And Gregory hes the greediest of them all .
If your biological daughter ran away for years , would you just ignore it ? Misunderstanding ? He probably said Paisley had a bad temper and refused to apologize , didnt het Dominick , you were married to Paisley for four years .
Dont you know what kind of person she is ? If she wasnt completely heartbroken , why would she leave ! Just like when she left you she had given up hope .
Thonestly dont understand why you came to see me today Emery was so furious she could barely speak .
Dominicks face looked pale , and his mind replayed Christinas cruel words toward Paisley The reason he had come today was because of what Gregory had said the night before .
Gregory had claimed there were misunderstandings between Paisley and the Sullivan family , and Dominick thought that if those misunderstandings could be resolved , Paisley might still have a family to return to in Harrowfell More than anyone , Dominick knew how much Paisley longed for a sense of home .
But now , it was clear that his actions today had been utterly foolish .
The Sullivan family was not worthy of Paisley at all .
Alright .
I know what I need to do now , Dominick said , lowering his head as he walked out .
His bangs fell over his eyes , hiding the icy coldness in his gaze .
Just as he reached the door , he stopped and turned to look at the still fuming Emery .
TI make arrangements so that your store doesnt need to pay rent anymore itll be free for you to use from now on .
Of course , only if you still want to keep it here With a bitter laugh at himself , he turned and left without looking back , Emery stood there , wide eyed , stunned for a long time .
Wait , what did that bastard just say ? Hes waiving the rent for my shop ? Is this for real ? Well , damn .
If I get to take advantage of that bastard , why the hell not ? When Dominick returned to his office , the first thing he did was instruct Julian to halt all support for the Sullivan Group and cancel all their contracts At the same time , he told Julian to spread the word that he was severing ti ties with Brittany and would no longer be involved in her entertainment career or activities .
Julian was shocked by the abrupt decision , unable to understand why Dominick suddenly wanted to cut off the Sullivan family .
But he didnt question it .
After the Marissa incident , Julian had learned to stay in his lane .
Following Dominicks orders , Julian immediately got to work .

The first to feel the impact was Gregory .
A secretary arrived at the Sullivan family villa with a returned contract from Vanderbilt Group : Mr.
Sullivan , Vanderbilt Group has stated they will not be renewing their agreement with us What Gregorys face went pale .
Just last night , he had gone out of his way to explain things to Dominick .
Surely , since he was Paisleys biological father , Dominick would still take care of the Sullivan family .
Soon after , his assistant called with more bad news .
Mr.
Sullivan , as of now , three of our partner companies have decided to terminate their contracts with us, Whats going on ? Gregory stumbled back onto the couch , overcome with panic .
The Sullivan Group didnt have many partnerships to begin with .
Their main source of income came from Vanderbilt Groups contracts , which had encouraged other companies to work with them out of respect for Vanderbilt .
But now , those companies were quickly distancing themselves , no doubt due to the message Vanderbilt Group had sent out 17/2 3:58 PM Chapter 197 Christina and Brittany returned , oblivious to Gregorys unusually tense demeanor .
Slumping onto the sofa , Christina immediately began complaining about Paisley .
Gregory , Im telling you , Paisley is unbelievable ! She told me to get lost today , in front of everyone ! Shes so ungrateful what a disgrace ! You went to see Paisley Gregorys voice was cold , his face unreadable .
Yes , I did .
Why ? I wanted her to help Brittany and Dominick reconcile .
Shes already divorced him .
Such a good man shouldnt end up with some outsider .
But that girl , she- Slap ! Christina didnt get to finish her sentence .
Gregorys palm struck her face with a resounding force , leaving her stunned and speechless .
Dad ! How could you hit Mom ? Brittany shouted , but her body instinctively moved away , afraid Gregorys next slap would land on her .
Gregory turned his gaze to Brittany , his chest heaving .
After a moment of silence , he spoke in a low , firm voice , Brittany , leave the Sullivan family
