Chapter 175
Shortly after, the servant sent a video over. In the video, there were countless huxurious items–precious supplements, exquisite jewelry, and even rare paintings. The servar had never seen such extravagant gifis. Neither had Gregory himself.
Christina couldn’t hold back her excitement, grabbing Gregory’s planne. Seeing the treasures in the video, she gasped, “Oh my goodness! No way! This must be from the Vanderbilt family! He’s clearly going to proposel”
“Mom” Brittany stared blankly at the screen, dumbfounded by the hems displayed,
“Brittany, these are betrothal gifts! Dominick wants to marry you” Christina chitched Brittany’s hand, on the verge of tears from excitement
Brittany was equally overwhelmed but tried to stay rational. “Mom, maybe Dominick just sent these casually. This is the first time he’s meeting you. Why would he send betrothal gift? Besides—” It was rumored that Dominick already had a fiancee.
Christina waved off her concerns, enthusiastically patting Brittany’s hand. “I know these things! Who sends such valuable gifts at the first meeting! Look at these jewels–easily worth tens of millions! And the paintings, the supplements. Oh my gosh!”
Christina could barely continue. She desperately wanted to nish home and admire those gifts up close.
Hearing Christina’s words, Brittany couldn’t stay rational anymore. Her heart raced, and she yearned to see Dominick as soon as possible. Gregory was ecstatic too. All the anxiety brought by the Jackman family earlier vanished.
Initially, he’d worried that Dominick was too unpredictable, so he thought aligning with the Jackman family was a safer bet. But now, with Dominick sending such a clear message through these extravagant gifts, there was no need for doubt. He was committed to Brittany
Gregory even began fantasizing about the day he would be Dominick’s father–in–law, basking in admiration from everyone.
“Wait a minute, Gregory, which Vanderbilt family are you talking about Keith suddenly asked nervously.
When the video was shown earlier, he’d glanced at it. The items were undoubtedly extraordinary–things even his family couldn’t afford. Could Brittany’s claim of having a boyfriend actually be true! And could it really be someone from the Vanderbilt family? But which Vanderbilt family? Gregory finally felt like he was in control again. He raised his head confidently. “Which Vanderbilt family could it be? How many Vanderbilt families are there in Harrowfell!”
The Jackman family’s par
parents stared in shock, Keith asked hesitantly, “The Vanderbilt Group? That Vanderbilt farmily?”
“Exactly” Gregory replied with a nod. It seemed his glory would ultimately come from Brittany.
Paisley, on the other hand, would only ever bring him shame. In the future, he’d need to treat Brittany even better. As for Paisley, Gregory only hoped that Baron would take an interest in her.
With Brittany’s connection to the Vanderbilt family, the Jackman family wouldn’t dare mistreat Paisley. Thinking this, Gregory felt like an exemplary father.
“This can’t be right. How could it be the Vanderbilt family! Keith was in disbelief.
He knew the Sullivan family had some collaboration with the Vanderbilt Group, but from what he knew, the Vanderbilt Group only offered low–tier projects to the Sullivan family. For the Vanderbilt Group, such minor partnerships were hardly significant.
“Could it be some distant relative of the Vanderbilt family?” Marianne suggested, unwilling to believe it. After all, they had always looked down on the Sullivan family. The thought of them forming ties with the Vanderbilt family was hard to swallow.
“What relative? It’s Dominick, the president of the Vanderbilt Group Christina explained gleefully “He’s particularly fond of our Brittany, Why else would be secure her the lead role in Cary’s TV series?”
The Jackman family was stunned speechless. No wonder the Sullivan family could bring in such a famous director. They had thought he was there to elevate the Sullivan family’s status. But no, he was just a small player. The real power was Dominick,
Does that mean the guest who luunt arrived yet is Dominick Keith asked cautiously, his arrogance from earlier completely gone.
“Yes Gregory responded, now exuding an air of authority. So, Mr. Jackman, no need to rush. We’ll serve the food once Dominick arrives.”
Keith laughed awkwardly. “Mr. Jackman We’re family, aren’t we! Just call me Keith. Let’s all wait together.

Seeing Keith’s quick change in attitude, Gregory couldn’t hide his satisfaction. Meanwhile, at the adjacent table, Gary was equally shaken.
His expression was grim, all traces of a smile gone. He had expected Brittany’s backer to be powerful, but he hadn’t imagined it would be this formidable. Compared to the Vanderbilt Group, he was nothing more than an ant.
“Gary.” The assistant director’s face was pale. “So Brittany is Dominick’s wornan?”
No wonder all the investors were willing to lose money just to n
to make Brittany the lead actress. Their losses would surely be compensated by Dominick in other ways. But if they went against Dominick’s wishes, the consequences would be far worse than losing money.
Everyone here was a businessman, and when it came to business, if arranging for a woman to get the benefits from Dominick works, why not? Moreover, she could possibly be the future lady of the Vanderbilt family.
For a moment, the people at the side table fell into deep despair and contemplation. Just then, the waiter knocked and entered, saying, “A guest has
arrived”
As he spoke, Dominick’s tall figure appeared in the private room. “Sorry, there was traffic on the road, I’m late,” he said in a clear, pleasant voice, wearing the perfect smile.
Even so, the people in the room couldn’t ignore the aura of authority Dominick carried.
Gregory was the first to stand up and greet him, grinning broadly. “Not at all, we just arrived too.” As he spoke, he warmly guided Dominick to the
main seat.
Britany and Christina excitedly followed suit. Christina already saw Dominick as a future son–in–law, her gaze full of admiration and affection
Brittany, with flushed cheeks, stood behind Christina. No matter how much time passed, whenever she saw Dominick again, she couldn’t help but blush and feel her heart race,
The Jackman family members, uncertain, followed behind, trying to make an impression in front of Dominick but afraid to overstep. After all, in the presence of such a big shot, the Jackman family was practically nothing
“Dad, who are they?” At that moment, a child’s voice rang child with him.
