Chapter 543 Important Business

After Paisley went upstairs, Mallory straightened herself, took the empty bowl to the kitchen, turned on the faucet, and washed the bowl with a rag.

She washed it very carefully, neither fast nor slow. After washing it, Mallory put the bowl back into the cupboard and looked carefully around the kitchen before returning to her small room.

It was very dark in the basement, but Mallory had gotten used to it. Mallory sat in a corner, and the light entered this place and just so happened to fall on her toes. She only needed to stretch her legs to reach the warm light. However, Mallory took care to keep her legs and even toes out of the light. The light was close yet unreachable.

Her arms were wrapped around her knees, and she was tightly holding that piece of gold, which was deformed, in her hand. She found it at last, but she couldn’t un-deform it.

In this world, there had never been anything or anyone that completely belonged to her. She should not harbor any unrealistic hopes. She shouldn’t be greedy. However… How could a living person not have desires or expectations?

Upstairs, Paisley entered her room. She closed the door, closed the curtains, and turned on the bedside lamp. Only then did she carefully take out a box from her clothes. Paisley opened the box. Inside was a book.

Instantly, Paisley’s heart started to beat wildly. She could not wait to open the book. But when her fingers reached it, Paisley was so nervous that she couldn’t stop trembling.

She finally got the thing that she had craved for a long time. She was ecstatic beyond words.

Opening the book, Paisley took in all the words and drawings hungrily. Every technique in this book was completely new to her. It was indeed a treasure for martial artists. But Simon told her that there were no such things. What a liar!

Paisley sneered inwardly as she started to imitate the movements in the book, eager to learn the best martial arts.

skills in the world.

Paisley had just started practicing when her phone rang. She was absorbed in what she was doing and did not want to

answer the call. She ignored it.

However, the caller was very persistent and kept calling. Paisley’s phone kept ringing, and she was finally out of patience. She walked over and answered the call grumpily, “WHAT?”

“Paisley, the thing you want, I got it.” Bridger sounded smug.

When she heard Bridger’s voice, Paisley suddenly realized that she had almost forgotten about him. Her lips curled into a mocking smile. “Is that so?”

“You’re not happy?” Bridger listened to Paisley carefully and was quick to notice that Paisley did not sound happy. At least, Paisley was not as happy as he imagined. He could not help but ask.

Paisley chuckled and continued, “I am happy! Of course, I’m happy, so… When will you give it to me?”

“I will certainly give it to you! But there’s no hurry. Shouldn’t we find some time and talk about that thing first?” Since he had gotten that thing, he would follow the plan and raise the price. He would not give it to Paisley so easily. He must sell it for a good price.

“Okay, how do you want us to talk about it?” As Paisley spoke to Bridger, her eyes were fixed on the book the entire

time. All content is property © .

Holding his phone, Bridger said confidently, “How about this? Let’s do it today. Let’s meet tonight at seven o’clock. I have a suite in the hotel where we met last time. It is relatively safe.”

After a pause, Bridger added, as if afraid that Paisley would hesitate, “You know how important this thing is. If it falls

into the hands of someone else, things will be tricky. Besides, it’s better for us to find a quiet place to talk about the thing we’re going to talk about.”

“Sure,” Paisley said without hesitation. “See you tonight!”

Then Paisley decisively hung up the phone. She did not hesitate at all. Bridger somehow found her decisiveness

suspicious.

Paisley was supposed to be overjoyed and excited. Although she agreed to his requests and agreed readily, her reactions… How should he put it? Her reactions were different than he expected. Completely different.

Bridger felt a bit strange. But on second thought, Paisley had always been unpredictable. So it might be very normal that she had such reactions.

After reaching this conclusion, Bridger hummed as he went to shower and shave, to get ready for the meeting tonight

and also a brand new life.

Six o’clock in the evening.

Bridger left home at this time as planned and was ready to go to the hotel. When he was leaving, Litzy happened to return. Seeing the joy on Bridger’s face, Litzy looked at him a bit longer. “Are you going to hook up with somebody?”

“Pah! Pah! Stop joking! I’m going to a business meeting. Very important business!” Bridger spat and said happily.

“You and business meetings? Why would anyone want to do business with you?” Litzy looked him up and down. In fact, Litzy did not think highly of Bridger. However, which side he was on mattered more. Compared to Simon, Bridger

was at least on the same side as her.

“None of your business!” Bridger didn’t want to talk to Litzy about the scripture. He had deliberately told his mother to keep it secret from Litzy. It was better that Litzy didn’t know about it. The person who would take over the Palmer family would be himself, not Litzy. “Oh right, has the test result come back?”

“You want to know?” Litzy imitated his tone and said calmly. “If you want to know, go to the hospital and see for

yourself!”

After saying that, Litzy turned around and walked inside. Bridger looked at her back and pursed his lips. What was she so cocky about? He couldn’t wait to see Litzy kiss his ass after he took charge of the Palmer family.

Bridger pushed his hair back, feeling handsome, and walked out of the house.

Litzy did not go to her room. Instead, she went straight to Miley’s room. “Mom, I’m back.”

Miley had just eaten dinner and was sleepy. When she heard Litzy’s voice, she struggled to pull herself together. “Eh? You are back. How is it? Is the result back?”

“Yes.” Wearing a strange expression, Litzy walked to Miley with a folder in her hand. “But before you read it, I think you should get mentally prepared.”

“Hey. This thing has happened for so many days. Do you think I’m not prepared? I’ve thought about it. If he isn’t a real Palmer, I don’t care how much your father used to love him, and he will not have the Palmer family! We can give him some money so that his life won’t be too sad. He can take all this as a price to pay after we bring him up.”

Miley looked out the window. Although she did not like this grandson of hers, she had watched him grow up. If he wasn’t a real Palmer, her husband’s efforts all these years would have been in vain!
