CHAPTER 492
Chapter 492 The Secret of the Palmer Family
“Inside job?!” Miley almost jumped up when she heard that. “Who! Who could it be? If there’s a traitor in the family, we have to find him out!”
As she spoke, she looked around as if trying to figure out who the traitor was.
“Mom, calm down. I think that this person didn’t care about money and didn’t harm our lives. He must be looking for something. What do you think it could be?” Bridger thought for a moment and
said.
Miley frowned and thought for a while, then she seemed to think of something and said, “Do you
mean…”
But she suddenly stopped as she looked at Bridger, “I’m not that thief. How would I know what he was looking for?”
Then she looked at Simon with a sullen look, “Simon, you can’t just sit back and let such a thing. happen to the family. It was a great humiliation for us. You have to find this thief. We can’t let him
off so easily!”
“Grandma, are you sure you haven’t lost anything important?” Simon saw the eye contact between Miley and Bridger just now. He knew that they had something to say but did not say it out.
It was normal. Apart from his grandfather, no one else in this family treated him as a family member. They always had their own secrets, and they could tell anyone in this family, but not him.
However, he was not interested in those secrets of theirs.
When he heard Freddie report that it was Twin Killers who had broken into the door, he felt a little. nervous about this. He had planned to rush over last night, but he did not expect that these two
people would sneak in and sneak out silently.
In fact, it would have been too late for him to bring his men back if the two thieves decided to
make a move. Clearly, their goal wasn’t to hurt people, then why? What were they looking for?
It was obvious from the look of Miley that she knew the ropes, but refused to say. He was a little
curious about what it was.
Hearing Simon’s question, Miley tried to avoid making eye contact with him and said, “How, how would I know? Our family is a big household to outsiders, but we all know we just look rich. How can any money be left in this family? You know how much money you give us every month. Where do we have anything important left? Hum!”
She was obviously evading the question by changing the subject, and Simon did not continue to
ask or expose her. It was no use asking if she didn’t want to say it.
“I have roughly checked. No important items were missing, so this thief must have had other plans. But we don’t know what he was looking for yet. Simon, since you are now the head of the Palmer family, you should handle this matter. Otherwise, words will spread…” Bridger smiled and
did not continue.
With a casual glance, he saw the clock hanging on the wall and suddenly thought of something. “Damn! Paisley is coming today. It’s too late for us to tidy up!”
Hearing this, Miley was suddenly reminded and quickly replied, “Right, quickly get someone to clean up. This place is such a mess.”
“Litzy. Go to the kitchen and check if they have everything they need. I almost forgot it.” Miley
called out.
“I’ve already checked. Everything is ready. They’ve already prepared well last night. Don’t worry,” Litzy answered softly.
“How can I not be worried? The family is in such a mess. I’m afraid that some of us have caused any trouble or offended others, so we were revenged on.” Miley glanced at Simon meaningfully as
she spoke.
“It’s too late. I’m going to pick her up. Mom, I’ll be back soon!” Bridger said as he took his coat.
“Okay, slow down. Don’t drive too fast!” Miley said with concern. She always doted on the youngest
son. With his marriage on the way, there was no room for error.
After some thought, she looked at Simon, who had just hung up the phone, and cleared her throat. “There’s nothing more to do here. You’re busy at work. Just go back to the office.”
After all, Paisley was the daughter of the Drew family. This marriage had not been settled, so she
did not want anything to go wrong. For her, this grandson was the biggest threat to family stability.
To her surprise, Simon cracked a smile. “I have made arrangements with the company and will stay here with Grandma today.”
“I don’t need you to accompany me!” Miley almost blurted out, but then she realized what she said
was wrong. She paused and said, “I mean, there’s a lot of work for you to do in the company. Since
your grandfather has given you such a big business, you should handle it well. And also the thief, how can we rest easy without catching him?”
“I will find the thief. As for the business, I have taken over it for a long time. Grandma, don’t worry. I happen to be free today. Besides, I heard that Bridger is getting engaged today. I also want to see my future aunt.” owns this text.
He smiled faintly but coldly.
Miley still wanted to say something, but Simon stood up, “I’ll go upstairs to take a look.”
Seeing him go upstairs, Litzy gently tugged at her mother’s arm and said, “Mom, let him be.”
He had not come back to this old house for a long time. He knew that not only Twin Killers had come to search for this house, but also people from the Drew family and other places. However, he did not know what they were looking for.
Grandpa had told him a few words about the company and the family before he passed away. But later, when he talked about the secret that the family had kept for generations, he died before he
could finish talking.
Grandmother would definitely not tell him. As for the other members of the Palmer family, they either didn’t know or even if they did, they would not tell him, so he could only secretly investigate
by himself.
Since it was a family secret, he couldn’t investigate it on a large scale. For a long time, he had not found out what it was. Could it be that the night scout of Twin Killers was also for this secret?
He stood in the corridor and looked around. He checked all the places he could. Only Miley’s room.
was not checked.
After all, Miley was his grandma, so it was impossible for him to tell Miley that he would search her
room.
Standing at the door, Simon muttered to himself for a moment. Just as he was about to push the door, he heard the sound of a car coming from downstairs, followed by people talking. Paisley was here so fast? he thought.
As soon as he touched the door, he thought for a moment and withdrew his hand to grasp the door handle instead. Just as he expected, it was locked.
Downstairs, Bridger was introducing Paisley to his mother with a loud voice, “Paisley, this is my mother.”
“Hello, Mrs. Palmer.” Paisley nodded lightly, looking less than enthusiastic.
Miley knew that Paisley got a bad temper, and she was well prepared for that. Therefore, she smiled and said, “Ms. Drew, you are so elegant and cultured, and so different from the young misses that I usually see!”
As she spoke, she turned to look at Litzy, motioning to her to echo.
