Chapter 181
Back in the large private room, the atmosphere around the main table was getting lively. Most of the conversation was between Gregory and Christina, with the Jackman family parents chinding in from the side.
But Gregory wasn’t really paying attention to anyone else now. His only focus was getting some information about Paisley from the Sullivan family members, which was the real reason he was here today.
So, just as Gregory was about to raise his glass for a toast again, Dominick raised his hand and pressed down on his glass. “I want to ask you about-
“Cary, aren’t you going to raise a glass to Dominick Brittany’s sharp voke interrupted what Dominick was about to say. Dominick turned to look at her, a hint of displeasure appearing in his eyes,
However, Brittany was lost in her own excitement. She looked at Cary across the table with a haughty expression, determined to force him to bow down to her in front of everyone
On the side table. Cary was called out by Brittany and felt a surge of anger. But seeing that Dominick was involved, he couldn’t show any resistance.
He could only stiffly pick up his glass and, with heavy steps, slowly walked towards the main table. He knew full well that this was Brittany trying to embarrass him. But in the face of absolute power, he had no room to resist
He awkwardly approached the main table, stood behind Brittany, and slightly bowed as he raised his glass towards Dominick “Dominick, I offer you this drink.”
Dominick furrowed his brows, finding the middle–aged man in front of him vaguely familiar, but he couldn’t quite place where he had seen him. “Who is this?” he asked, turning to Brittany.
Brittany met his gaze, her eyes sparkling, her voice soft and sweet. “Cary is the director of my next film. I have to thank you, Dominick. If you hadn’t stepped in to help me, I wouldn’t have gotten the lead role. You’ve been so good to me
Dominick felt there was an underlying meaning in Brittany’s words, which made him uncomfortable. But it was indeed his suggestion to Julian to help Brittany get the lead role.
To him, it was just a trivial matter that didn’t require thanks from the Sullivan family. On the contrary, he began to feel a bit repulsed by this meeting with the Sullivan family.
He had thought it was just a simple family dinner, but he didn’t expect the Sullivan family to invite so many people he didn’t care about
He could see through their intentions, but out of respect for Paisley’s side of the family, he was putting up with it
Dominick picked up his glass and clinked it briefly with Cary’s but didn’t drink. He set the glass back down on the table.
Brittany misinterpreted this as Dominick trying to intimidate Gary, and her demeanor became even more arrogant. “Gary, I’ve heard that you’ve been working hard to kick me out of the cast?”
Hearing this, Gary’s back immediately stiffened. He carefully gauged Dominick’s reaction, but Dominick remained silent, his face showing little emation. But it was this silence that made it all the more chilling.
Gary didn’t know that Dominick was thinking. Is Paisley’s sister a bad actress Otherwise, why would the director want to kick her out of the Dominick remained silent, and Cary began to sweat nervously, quickly denying it, “No, no, I’m just still looking for other actors. Once we have the cast set, we can start filming”
Brittany
any sneered, clearly pleased with herself. “Oh, so after the filming starts, you’ll still be the director?” she asked.
the film?
This question made Gary break into a cold sweat again, and he started looking away. How did Brittany know he was planning to give up directing
