Chapter 151
Meanwhile,
the Sullivan family wasn’t faring much better.
Ever since they were kicked out of the hospital during their last visit to see Paul, they hadn’t been able to contact
ntact Dominick or his assistant.
Brittany had repeatedly called Julian, who initially brushed her off with excuses about being busy. Eventually, he stopped answering her calls altogether.
The Sullivan family’s contract with the Vanderbilt family was nearing its renewal deadline, and the next quarter’s agreement had yet to be signed.
In previous years, the Vanderbilt Group’s project manager would proactively reach out to finalize the contracts. But this time, there had been no word. When Gregory tried reaching out, he was met with vague replies, saying they were waiting for instructions from above.
And “instructions from above could only mean Dominick. It wasn’t just the Sullivan family facing setbacks. Brittany was dealing with her own problems.
First, the male and female lead actors, as well as other supporting cast members, abruptly quit her drama project, causing production to grind to a hah.
As the lead actress, Brittany became the target of ridicule online. To prove herself, the urgently needed the drama to resume production. But at this critical juncture, she couldn’t reach Julian, let alone Dominick
-What’s
at’s going on? W
on? Weren’t they so friendly before? Why aren’t they answering the phone now? Christina asked anxiously.
On one hand, the family business was at stake, and on the other, her daughter’s budding celebrity career was on the line. Both of these relied heavily on Dominick!
“Did we do something to upset Mr. Vanderbilt?” Christina asked.
“I didn’t do anything I haven’t even met Mr. Vanderbilt in person. All I’ve ever done is communicate through his assistant, Brittany said, feeling wronged
Everyone kept saying Dominik had a thing for her, but she hadn’t even seen him face–to–face. She only ever dealt with his assistant and now even the assistant was giving her the coat shoulder.
When she finally became Dominick’s woman, she’d make sure that assistant paid for his attitude
Gregory couldn’t make sense of it either. “The projects we handle for the Vanderbilt Group are all low–level ones. These don’t even need Mr. Vanderbilt’s approval, so how could we have offended him?”
In truth, Gregory, as a contractor, didn’t even have the qualifications to meet Dominick, let alone offend him.
“Then what’s going on? We can’t just keep waiting like this. The projects aren’t progressing, and Brittany’s show isn’t moving forward either,” Christina said, clearly agitated.
Gregory frowned deeply. This kind of passive waiting was unbearable.
The Sullivan family had made a lot of money recently, thanks to Dominick’s generosity. Not only had they turned their losses into profits, but they had also elevated their status significantly
Having grown used to such smooth sailing. Gregory couldn’t imagine going back to the struggles of their p
past.
“We can’t give up on Mr. Vanderbilt, but we also can’t put all our eggs in one basket, Gregory said thoughtfully. “What do you mean?”
“We need an alliance” Gregory’s eyes lit up as he came to a decision.
“An allianort Dad, who are you planning to marry me off to? I’m not gening married!” Brittany reacted dramatically,
“Exactly! Brittany can’t just marry anyone. She’s someone Mr. Vanderbilt has his eye on! Christina chimed in Being Dominick’s woman, even as a rastress, was better than marrying just anyone.
Gregory smirked. “I’m not talking about Brittany. We still have another daughter!”
Christina’s eyes sparkled “You mean Paisley!”
at least she’s got decent looks. I’ll find her a
Gregory nodded. “Yes, Paisley. She’s not great at anything and is far behind Brittany in every way, but at least s suitable marriage match in the next couple of days”
