The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back by Juliette Vaughan

Chapter 253

The next morning at 10, Gregory and Christina arrived at a serene and picturesque estate per Dylan's instructions. This was Byron's retreat, a place so exclusive that even the Beaumont family members needed his permission to visit. Gregory and Christina had never seen anything like this in their lives. The most luxurious house they'd ever encountered was their current small villa, which they only managed to acquire thanks to Dominick's help. But with the Sullivan family's business declining, even that villa might not last much longer.

Nervously following the servant who was leading the way, they couldn't help but marvel at the stunning scenery surrounding them. The estate was breathtaking, with beautiful views at every turn, leaving them both dazzled. Before long, they were brought to the entrance of a traditional and elegant building.

A short but sharp-eyed

man stood there, and upon seeing only Gregory and Christina, he frowned, "Why are there only the two of you? Where is Brittany?" Gregory felt a wave

of frustration when he heard Brittany's name. To ensure Brittany could meet Byron on time today, Gregory had swallowed his pride and begged the Levine family all night, hoping they'd agree to a reconciliation and release Brittany. However, Christina, who had previously begged Gregory to help Brittany, suddenly urged him not to seek out the Levine family. Gregory assumed Christina was acting strangely because she didn't want Brittany to return to the Beaumont family. Ignoring Christina's objections, Gregory went to the Levine family that very night.

If Brittany was confirmed as part of the Beaumont family, Gregory believed

that his relationship as her adoptive father would guarantee the Sullivan family a bright future under their protection.

But as expected, the Levine family shut the door in his face. They refused to offer any apologies or settlements and insisted that Brittany face the consequences of her actions. Despite Gregory's repeated pleas, the situation didn't improve. With the Beaumont family connection still unconfirmed, Gregory didn't dare escalate the issue. If Byron found Brittany's police station record disgraceful and refused to acknowledge her, it would be a total loss. For now, Gregory had to endure and focus on passing the meeting with Byron.
