CHAPTER 571
Chapter 571 He Is Not My Son
Moreover, even if the situation was really out of control and Simon really wasn’t a descendant of the Palmer family and his name was removed from the family tree, with their strength, they would manage to carve out a place for themselves.
In that case, there was nothing to be afraid of.
To Silvia’s surprise, there was something wrong with Paisley’s reaction. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Previously, she and Simon had already discovered that Paisley would always have two different temperaments. Sometimes, she was aggressive and forcefui, with deep inner breaths. At other times, she had no inner breath at all and was weak and gentle. Just like now, she was sitting there quietly.
From the moment Paisley entered this courtyard, Silvia could not feel the inner breath of a martial artist from Paisley. And just now, when Paisley was talking with her followers, she didn’t look like the head of a family at all. It was weird.
Paisley must have some incredible secrets.
The atmosphere was in a stalemate. Bridger anxiously gave Litzy a look. They had already agreed before. However, they didn’t expect that Miley would suddenly change her mind. They could never allow this to happen. They had to put in more effort and let Miley speak it out!
Litzy looked at Bridger and then said lightly, “Mom, since things have already come to this point, even it you don’t want to say it, everyone is eager to know the truth. Moreover, since Bridger is so determined, even if you don’t say it today, he will still carry out this matter to the end. You might as well just say it clearly and let everyone understand what is going on.”
Litzy was Simon’s aunt and Bridger’s elder sister. She still had some influence in her words. Besides, what she said was right. Now, Bridger insisted that Simon was not a member of the Palmer family. If Miley gave an indefinite answer, no matter whether she admitted it or not, she would be criticized. Moreover, when Simon took charge of the Palmer family, some people would still hold grudges against him.
Miley heaved a sigh.
With a long sigh, she looked up at the sky. It was a sunny day today. The sun was so scorching that she could hardly open her eyes. She squinted, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
Seeing Miley like this, everyone felt a little sad.
“Mrs. Palmer…”
“Bridger, everything that happens today is what you asked for!” Sighing, Miley turned around and had someone bring over a document.
Looking at the document, Bridger couldn’t be more excited. Finally, it came to the most critical moment.
Although what Miley said sounded strange, it was not important. As long as the paternity test report Bridger had prepared was taken out, Simon could hardly explain it.
To say the least, if Miley really didn’t bear to exchange the paternity test report, it only meant that Bridger had slandered Simon at most. Bridger could say that there might be something wrong with the agency he found, or that there might be some mistakes. What was more, he could even say that he didn’t know which of the two copies was true. If Bridger asked for a new paternity test, he could completely get away with it!
After all, it wouldn’t do much harm to Bridger. But today, as long as he had a try, he could have chances to turn the
tables this time.
“This is a paternity test report!” Taking out a few pieces of paper, Miley held the report in her hand. “A few days ago, for some reason, we conducted a paternity test. Here are the results.
“Originally, I thought that this was our family business. It was a private matter and I didn’t want to say more. But you are not outsiders. You are all from the Palmer family. Now, Bridger wants to make it clear to you. In that case, I will share it with you!
“Bridger is not my son!”
Bridger was smiling and waiting for the next words. When he heard this sentence, he was stunned. His smile froze on his face and he stared at his mother with wide eyes.
He suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. Did he hear it wrong? However, the crowd was in an uproar. It was as if a bomb had been thrown down and exploded instantly. Everyone was shocked.
They all guessed that Miley was talking about Simon, and they were waiting for Miley to announce that Simon was not a member of the Palmer family. However, they never thought that Miley was talking about… Bridger!.
Bridger? He was not Miley’s son? What was happening?
Everyone in the Palmer family knew that Bridger was Miley’s favorite son. For him, Miley had quarreled with his husband many times. Everyone knew that Miley was biased. But now, Miley said that Bridger was not her son in front of so many people.
What was going on here?
“Mom, what are you talking about? You are wrong. You are talking about Simon now!” Recovering from the shock, Bridger said to Miley hastily, “You are wrong. You are talking about Simon, not Bridger! I am Bridger. I am your son!
Your son!”
Pointing at his nose, Bridger opened his mouth as wide as he could, as if he was afraid that Miley would not be able to see it clearly. He explained to Miley word by word.
Looking at his gesture, Miley stared at the face she had loved for so many years and felt a pang of sadness in her heart. “Bridger, I don’t want to say it, but you want me to say it. You are right. The Palmer family’s bloodline can’t be disordered, and I can’t betray the Palmer family’s ancestors. If today, I really say as you said, then I will have no face to see your father after I die.”
Just now, Bridger still had a little fantasy. But now, his dream was shattered. He seemed to be struck by lightning, and his whole body was cold from head to foot.
He widened his eyes and looked at his mother in disbelief. He took two steps back. “No! No! You are not my mother. You are definitely not my mother! Who are you? Why are you pretending to be my mother? Where did you hide my mother? Where did you hide her?”
Bridger suddenly rushed forward and shook Miley’s shoulders with both hands.
No one expected him to have such a fierce reaction. Everyone was startled and rushed forward to pull Bridger away. “Bridger, don’t do this. You might hurt Miley!”
“Bridger, what are you doing? Let go of mom!” Litzy, who was standing beside Bridger, quickly pulled Bridger away.
At first, everyone didn’t know what was going on. But when they came to their senses, they helped to pull Bridger away. Bridger was held down on both sides of his arm. He was out of breath. His face flushed and he kept repeating. “You are not my mother. You are not my mother…”
Miley had tears in her eyes. Although she was trembling, the love in her eyes could not be erased.
After all, Miley had loved Bridger as her child for thirty years. When she suddenly knew that Bridger was not her child, she could not accept it and tainted several times.
Now Miley had to say it in public, which would be more painful. But no matter what, she could not lie.
Although Bridger harbored evil intentions, he was right about one thing. The property of the Palmer family should be controlled by the Palmer family members. It could not fall into the hands of outsiders. No matter how biased Miley was, she was still biased in favor of the Palmer family.
