CHAPTER 564

Chapter 564 To Forgive Is to Relieve

It was Saturday. Bridger got up early today. He put on his ironed suit and combed his hair smartly. He checked his appearance several times in front of the mirror and even wore some Cologne. Today was one of the most important days for him and would become a turning point in his life.

The elders would not arrive so early. His biggest concern was Miley. Although they had reached an agreement, Bridger could rest assured before everything settled down.

Therefore, he went to the kitchen to bring breakfast to Miley. He came up to her door and knocked.

“Who is it?” Miley asked from inside. It sounded like she had woken up for a while.

“Mom, it’s me. I came to deliver breakfast to you,” Bridger bent down and said politely.

“Put it downstairs. I’ll eat there later,” she replied.

“I don’t want to tire you. Besides, I have already taken it here. Please open the door.” He waited a moment for her answer, but he didn’t get any. So, he added, “I want a talk with you.”

After a while, the door opened. Miley stood at the door and looked at him indifferently. “What do you want to say?”

“Mom, won’t you let me in?” Bridger smiled and entered the room before she could answer. He placed the breakfast on the table and looked around the room casually.

Miley’s bedroom was very big, but there were not many things in it, so it seemed a little empty. She shook her head with a silent sigh, turned around, and walked in. She said, “What’s your flattery all about?” She was applying her skincare products on her face while talking.

Bridger laughed awkwardly and said disapprovingly, “Mom, don’t take me wrong. I am not flattering. I just want to be nice to my dear mother.”

Miley was amused by his words. She gave him a loving glare and said, “When can you ever cease your sweet words?” Seeing Miley smile like before, Bridger felt a little relieved and continued, “Not until you’re tired of it. It is only me that can amuse you so much.”

Miley exhaled a long sigh. However, her smile gradually disappeared.

Bridger felt a little uneasy. Recently, he was a little unsure about Miley’s thoughts, but today, he must not let anything go wrong. “Mom, you must help me today. After today, everything will get on the right track. You can also continue to enjoy your life without worrying about me. Mom, everything can work out smoothly as long as you help me.”

“Why are you so sure?” Sitting down slowly on the chair, Miley combed her hair casually.

“I’ve prepared everything needed! I have the DNA test result!” He glanced at the document bag placed on Miley’s table. In it was the test result he faked. “With this file and your confirmation, his words will no longer matter. Besides, you are his grandmother and the most respected person in our family. Who wouldn’t believe your words?”

And that was why Bridger urgently needed Miley to be on his side. If only the elders bought his words and rejected Simon from the Palmer family when she insisted that the paper was authentic and that Simon was not biologically

related to them.

“You’re right, I am his grandmother…” Miley stopped combing and pondered on these words. “His grandmother is

“Mom, don’t overthink! I am your son and his uncle, but he never showed me any mercy!” Afraid that Miley might change her mind, Bridger hurriedly said, “Mom, we are not forcing him to die. We just ask him to hand over the charge of the Palmer family. Didn’t you always want me to take over the family and the company? We do nothing but

right the wrong.”

“Right the wrong,” Miley repeated his words firmly and nodded her head, “Okay, let’s right the wrong.”

Believing that she had made up her mind, Bridger was finally assured. He put the breakfast a little closer to her and said, “Have breakfast first. It’s still early. You don’t have to rush.”

“Okay.” As Miley started eating, she saw him sitting beside her without any intention to leave. So she asked, “Is there anything else?”

“Mom, have you told Litzy about this?”

Although Miley’s words would be convincing enough, it would be better it Litzy also sided with him.

“She doesn’t know about this,” Miley said calmly as she lowered her head and blew the cereal cool.

“Then I’ll go and call her. You’d better inform her of it in case anything should go wrong because she doesn’t know the whole thing.” Bridger stood up and was about to find Litzy when he thought of something and turned around. “By the way, has she read the former test result?”

Taking a sip of the cereal, Miley did not even look up when she said, “She is the one who took it back. What do you think?”

“I…” He was stunned. He had forgotten about this. It Litzy said anything about the former DNA test report, his plan would be doomed to failure.

“I will tell her after breakfast, you don’t have to bother.” Miley put down the spoon and turned to look at him. “There is still some time. I just hope that you can think about what you want the most. Are those things a must for you? Remember what I told you, to forgive is to relieve.”

“Mom, why are you talking so strangely recently? Did Simon tell you anything?” Bridger asked suspiciously. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Miley was weird recently. She kept talking about these things about forgiveness and relief. Bridger didn’t understand what she wanted him to forgive or what she’d like him to relieve from. But he could sense that she was hoping that he could show some mercy to Simon.

However, he was never a merciful person. He was clear that it must become cruel to vie for power. If his brothers hadn’t died early, he would also apply these cruel tricks on his brothers. After all, he believed that no one would show him mercy if he was failing.

Anyway, Bridger comforted Miley and said, “Alright, I got it. But Mom, don’t believe whatever Simon says to you. You know how crafty he has been since he was a child. I don’t want you to be cheated by him.”

Miley looked at him and nodded after a moment of silence, “Go ahead and do whatever you have to do.”

After leaving her bedroom, Bridger thought about it and still felt disturbed. He felt an urgent need to see Litzy. Now that Miley had been acting weirdly, he had to settle everything down by himself before he could finally be assured.
