CHAPTER 567

Chapter 567 The Show Is About to Start

Mallory bit her lip and said softly, “I understand.”

“Go.” Paisley waved her hand, looking exceptionally pale and weak.

“Then your body…” Mallory said with worry.

“I’m fine. Remember what I said.” After Paisley finished speaking, she closed her eyes. It seemed that she no longer wanted to speak.

Mallory silently retreated.

Paisley slowly opened her eyes when she heard the movement of leaving. She looked at the door and said, “Anderson!”

Anderson immediately stepped forward. “Ms. Drew!”

“Send two capable people to follow her. Remember not to make any mistakes!” Her eyes were calm, hiding all of her emotions.

“Yes!” Anderson understood what she meant and immediately went to do it.

Anderson was going to stay by her side. When she was practicing, she needed someone who could be trusted to guard her, and that could only be Anderson. However, there should be someone else to watch Mallory. Especially recently, she seemed to be thinking about something. They had to keep watching her.

It was almost noon, and the elders of the Palmer family had arrived one after another. Most of them were sitting in the courtyard drinking coffee and eating some snacks. In fact, they did not know what

they were going to do today. However, since Miley said it was a big matter, they all came.

At that moment, they were all sitting in the courtyard, bustling with noise and excitement, but … Simon had not come

yet.

Bridger asked the servants to serve the elders coffee. He turned around to take a look. Simon had not come yet. As for whether Paisley would come or not, he was not sure. However, that was not important. Simon was the most important protagonist today.

Just as Bridger checked the time and was about to call Simon to ask if he dared not come, a servant said, “Mr. Palmer

is back.”

Bridger smiled, and he was very happy that a good show was finally going to play.

Simon and Silvia walked in together. When they entered the door, some of the younger generations even

subconsciously stood up. The imposing aura that Simon exuded was domineering.

Although the elders did not get up to greet him, they all stopped talking and looked over.

“There are so many people?” Although Silvia knew it was a family meeting, she did not expect there to be so many people. She seemed to have seen this scene in the Austin family when she was a child. Later, she gradually grew up and

left the Austin family. It was rare for them to have this kind of interaction.

Simon gently patted the back of her hand and said in a low voice, “If you feel uncomfortable later, go to the guest room to rest first. It will be over soon and we will go home.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Silvia shook her head lightly. When she saw Bridger walking towards them, she smiled and said, “I also want to see what kind of tricks he is playing!”

The honored guest is always late!” Bridger said with a smile. He was in a good mood. When he thought about what was going to happen next, even his eyes were bright.

Simon corrected him in a low voice, “That’s not right. I went back to my own home. How did I become an honored guest? I am the master, not the guest.”

“It’s not certain you are the master or the guest. Alright, everyone is almost here. We’re just waiting for you. Let’s begin!” Bridger said meaningfully.

Simon nodded and looked around. “Where’s Grandma?”

“She will come out soon. Let’s start first. It doesn’t matter.” Bridger said.

Simon agreed. He went straight forward and stood in the middle. He turned his head and looked at Silvia. She took her hand out of his arm. She took two steps to the side and stood beside him.

“Elders, everyone is here today because…” After a pause, Simon turned to look at Bridger. “Bridger, it was you who gathered everyone here today. Is there something you want to say?”

Seeing him take the initiative to ask him, Bridger was pleased. He smiled and said, “Of course, I have something to say. It is a big matter that concerns the continuation of the bloodline of our family!”

Upon hearing that the matter was so important, everyone else perked up. “What is so important? The continuation of the bloodline? Could it be that… Bridger, you have a descendant?”

An elder joked with him, and everyone laughed.

Bridger was not angry. He glanced at him, “I will have one sooner or later, but not now. What I have to say now is that it concerns the orthodoxy of our family!” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Bridger raised his voice so that everyone could hear him. Seeing his serious face, the others stopped joking, and the atmosphere instantly became serious.

“Bridger, what is it? Why is it so serious?” Someone could not help but ask.

Bridger did not answer. He only turned his body slightly and looked at Simon, who was standing at the side.

Originally, every family meeting like this would be held by Simon. Bridger could only sit down and listen, but now it

was different.

And from now on, it would be different.

Simon did not avoid his gaze and calmly looked back, but it seemed that he did not know anything.

Looking at his face, Bridger almost couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He thought, Simon, you have been imposing for so long. You didn’t expect to lose to me in the end.

Bridger cleared his throat and said, “Simon, it is related to the reputation of our family. If someone among the

descendants of our family is not the blood of the Palmer family, how should we deal with him?”

Bridger asked directly. Simon looked into his eyes and replied, “Although bloodline matters, it depends. I don’t know who you are talking about, but if this person is not a member of the Palmer family, why would he become a descendant of our family?

“Maybe he is deliberately hiding it, or he doesn’t even know about it,” Bridger said.

“There are two kinds of situations. If he is deliberately hiding it and wants to sneak into our family, then he should be kicked out. But if he doesn’t know about his identity, perhaps he has already regarded himself as a member of the Palmer family over the years. Identity may be false, but the feelings are true.”

Simon replied logically, “Our family is huge. Perhaps people have their difficulties. As long as it does not harm our family, it is not that important.”

Bridger didn’t expect that Simon would answer like this. Bridger thought that he would kick that person out of the family. He originally wanted to use his words to trick Simon, but he didn’t expect that Simon wouldn’t take the attack. Bridger thought Simon was foxy.

However, Bridger would not let him get through so easily. He must force Simon to make a statement.

He smiled and took a step forward. “You don’t have to say that. Our family has valued tradition. All the elders are sitting here. If there is an illegal child among their descendants and the descendants that they have doted on for so many years are not their children at all, I want to ask, who can sit here peacefully?”
