The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back (Paisley) novel Chapter 278

Gregory regretted it now. If he had known Brittany's biological parents had such powerful backgrounds, he wouldn't have wasted his efforts trying to please Paisley. To please Paisley, he had even gone so far as to kick Brittany out of the house.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be in this passive position now, desperately trying to win Brittany's favor, afraid she would hold a grudge against him for what happened.

He thought it was all Paisley's fault. So, making Paisley apologize to Brittany was only fair.

Gregory immediately started planning—next time he saw Paisley, he would make her apologize to Brittany no matter what. Even if it meant offending Dominick, he wouldn't care.

After all, Brittany had both the Beaumont family and the Godard family backing her. Those two powerful families combined were far stronger than Dominick.

Once Gregory made up his mind, he actually felt more at ease.

In the small garden, Byron watched everything happening in the flower hall through the floor-to-ceiling glass. His aged face was deeply furrowed with concern.

"That girl is too impulsive and arrogant. I don't know who she takes after," he thought. In his memory, Enya had always been a gentle and composed young woman. She rarely made things difficult for others and wouldn't even raise her voice.

The only time she had ever rebelled was when she refused the marriage he had arranged for her and ran away with that Godard guy.

He had met that Godard guy before—always sitting there with a half-smile, unreadable and deep-minded.

His adopted son, Max, had been raised to be just like a Godard. Neither of them was reckless or impulsive people.

Dylan also disapproved of Brittany's behavior and instinctively asked, "Is this Ms. Sullivan really your sister's daughter?"

Byron leaned on his cane and turned to leave. Dylan quickly stepped forward to support him.

"Who knows? It's none of my business," Byron said indifferently. "Max only asked me to find Enya's old best friend. I've already exceeded expectations—not only did I find her friend, but I also found the orphanage where her daughter was adopted."

His cane struck the ground with a muffled thud. "As for whether that girl is really Tyson's daughter, that's not my concern. I'd rather she is—it'd cause more trouble for Tyson. Best case scenario, the Godard family ends up in her hands."

Byron thought, 'Hmph. My sister was dead—why should Tyson get to enjoy a peaceful old age with his daughter by his side?'

Dylan remained silent. He knew Byron was just venting his frustration. Godard family was no ordinary family. The people of the Godard family were all cunning and formidable.

Even someone as outstanding as Max hadn't been fully accepted by them. A mere issue of bloodline had already become an insurmountable barrier between Max and his rightful inheritance.

Only Max himself knew the full extent of the treacherous struggles and near-death experiences he had faced.

If Brittany really was Tyson's daughter, the entire Godard family would unite to oppose her becoming the heir.

Of course, there was still the possibility that Tyson would defy all opposition and forcefully support her. In that case, no one could predict how things would turn out.

Now, all they had to do was wait for Tyson to come to Harrowfell and conduct a paternity test with Brittany. Once the results were out, everything would be settled.

"Still, considering the test hasn't been done yet, isn't it a bit inappropriate for Mr. Morris Beaumont and his wife to call Ms. Sullivan their cousin and bring her here so openly?" Dylan softly asked Byron.

Brittany had just acted so overbearing—she not only drove away Diana's guest but also spoke to Diana disrespectfully.

The worst part was that Morris and Julia condoned her actions and didn't even try to stop her. That was simply unacceptable.
