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.

"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.

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