From Forgotten Wife To Fierce Queen - Chapter 210: Chapter 210

Brittany's discomfort lasted only a moment. She was no longer the Brittany of the past.
In the past, she had been the adopted daughter of the Sullivan family, always overshadowed by Paisley, their biological daughter.
To win more love from Christina and Gregory, she had to put on an act, fight for their affection, and make them prefer her over Paisley.
But things were different now. She had found her biological father. She was no longer the adopted one.
With the weight of blood ties and Tyson's guilt for not being there for her, she could have anything she wanted from now on.
Besides, she knew that Christina and Gregory were constantly taking her to the Beaumont family, clearly trying to use her status to gain favors from both the Beaumont and Godard families—just like before, when Gregory had kicked her out of the Sullivan family to please Paisley.
Now that he knew her status surpassed Paisley's, he was suddenly eager to put on an act of deep fatherly love. So Brittany no longer cared what Christina and Gregory thought. As long as she was comfortable, that was all that mattered to her.
"Once I reunite with my real dad, I'll have that so-called adopted son kicked out," Brittany declared arrogantly, full of confidence. She believed that everything that belonged to the Godard family would be hers.
Morris and Julia exchanged uneasy glances as they listened to Brittany's outrageous words. They thought, 'It seems Brittany really has no fear, completely unaware of what she was up against. She actually thought she could get rid of Max?
'Never mind that Max has been by Tyson's side for years, steadily building his influence within the Godard family and across Montera.
'Just in terms of intelligence alone, Brittany is no match for Max.'
Yet, they had no intention of telling Brittany that. Their only goal was to secure Tyson's support. Right now, their best move was to focus on making the reunion happen as soon as possible.
Brittany ordered Morris, "You call that adopted son again and tell him that I really want to meet my biological father as soon as possible. If he's not able to come, I can go to him just the same."
Brittany had already been swept away by Morris and Julia treating her as family over and over again, so now, giving Morris orders didn't make her feel the slightest bit awkward.
After all, she was Tyson's biological daughter. But there was no way Morris was making that call again.
Max had already made his stance clear. If Morris called again, he would only come across as annoying. Yet, he didn't want to upset Brittany either.
Just as he was caught in this dilemma, Julia stepped in. "Tyson might really need to rest right now. It's best we don't disturb him. Don't worry, he's been looking for you for so many years—he definitely wants to meet you in the best possible state."
Seeing that Brittany still looked dissatisfied, Julia continued, "How about this? Until Tyson comes to Harrowfell, why don't you stay at the Beaumont estate for now?
"I'll take you out for some fresh air, do some shopping, and also fill you in on how things work in prestigious families. That way, you can prepare yourself and meet Tyson in the best state."
Brittany had been unhappy all along, thinking that as long as she hadn't been officially acknowledged by the Godard family, her status remained uncertain. But Julia's words sparked her interest. "Stay here?"
She dragged out the last word, her eyes darting around as she took in her surroundings.
From the first time she had visited the Beaumont estate, she had been captivated by it. Unlike the small villa of the Sullivan family, this place felt more like a grand, luxurious manor. The gardens alone were numerous.
She had been inside Julia and Morris's rooms before, and to her, they weren't just rooms—they were extravagant presidential suites.
Each room had its own private bathroom, walk-in closet, study, and even a personal gym for Julia.
And yet, Julia had told her that their suite wasn't even the largest or most luxurious in the Beaumont estate.
The estate was bustling with well-trained servants who provided attentive service and carried themselves with proper etiquette.
The butlers were impeccably dressed and treated people with refined courtesy.
Brittany absolutely loved it here, which was why she had been visiting almost every day recently.
There was no other choice. As long as she hadn't completed a paternity test with the Godard family, she had no rightful claim to anything. Each night, she had no choice but to return to the Sullivan family's small villa with Christina.
Now that Julia was inviting her to stay at the Beaumont estate, she figured she could afford to wait a little longer.
"Alright then; starting tonight, I'll stay here," Brittany agreed readily, unable to hide the joy in her eyes.
Seeing Brittany agree and no longer pressuring Morris, Julia let out a sigh of relief. "That's great! I'll have someone prepare a room for you right away."
Julia hadn't forgotten the look of longing in Brittany's eyes when she saw her and Morris's suite. So, she chose a room for Brittany that had a similar layout to theirs.
Brittany felt pleased with herself but soon caught sight of Christina watching her with a hint of disappointment.
"Mom, why don't you and Dad head back first? I won't be coming home starting tonight," Brittany said, completely indifferent to Christina's feelings.
She thought, 'What's there to feel bad about? I'm going to leave the Sullivan family sooner or later. Might as well get used to it now.'
She had expected Christina to try persuading her to stay, but instead, Christina just nodded, her initial disappointment shifting into relief. "Alright, then your dad and I will head back. I'll pack some of your essentials and bring them over tomorrow."
"That won't be necessary," Julia said gently. "The Beaumont estate has everything she needs. I'll take care of everything for her. As long as she stays, that's all that matters."
This was the perfect opportunity for her to build a stronger bond with Brittany. If she could win Brittany over, she would have half of Tyson in her pocket as well.
Christina hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Alright, then your dad and I will visit you tomorrow."
But just as she finished speaking, Brittany added, "If you two are busy, there's no need to come every day."
Christina stiffened. She could hear the subtle implication in Brittany's words—she was drawing a line between them.
Morris had just stepped out to take a work call and left the parlor.
Julia had no interest in entertaining Christina and Gregory any longer, so she spoke in a polite yet firm tone, "Brittany and I are going to check out her new room now. We won't be staying to host you two any longer. Please make yourselves comfortable."
With that, Julia turned and left the parlor with Brittany without a second glance. Only Christina and Gregory were left in the room.
Gregory's face darkened. "What's wrong with Brittany? Is she trying to cut ties with us?"
Christina's expression wasn't any better. She had initially thought that having Brittany stay at the Beaumont estate would help her build connections with them. But she hadn't expected Brittany to let Julia have her way.
"Cut ties? No matter what, she'll always be our daughter. That won't change," Christina insisted before turning to glare at Gregory. "This is all your fault. Back then, you tried to please that brat Paisley by throwing Brittany out of the house. She's probably still holding a grudge against you."
Gregory felt a pang of regret. He figured he needed to find an opportunity to make amends with Brittany.
"This is all Paisley's fault," Gregory grumbled. "That ungrateful girl hasn't been answering my calls at all."
