Chapter 290 Bruce And His Decision
As Bruce made this decision, Millicent, Bishop, and Bishop’s family were dumbfounded.
Bernice was equally shocked. “Grandpa?
All along, even though their family had been the main operator and manager of Firebird Group, she and
Patrick knew very well that the Zimmerman family and Firebird Group would eventually be handed over
to Bishop and Timothy.
If for nothing else, then for Millicent’s favoritism.
But then. Bruce actually said that he would hand over the Zimmerman family and Firebird Group to
them after a while, leaving Bernice in a daze.
Millicent snapped back to reality, the first to object, “Bruce, this isn’t right. You can’t do this.”
Bishop jumped. “Dad, both Patrick and I are your sons. You’ve handed over the Zimmerman family and
Firebird Group to him. What’s left for me?”
Timothy was even more straightforward, “Grandpa, you can’t favor Uncle Patrick’s family just because
Finnegan is there. Even if Finnegan has strong connections and resources, what’s the use if he doesn’t
help the Zimmerman family?”
Knowing that Millicent and Bishop would definitely object, Bernice joined in to persuade Bruce,
“Grandpa, please reconsider.”
Also, the matter was too sudden. Without Patrick present, she didn’t dare to agree.
It was clear that Bruce had made up his mind. With a wave of his hand, he decisively said, “Enough. I
firmly believe that Finnegan is our family’s opportunity to advance further. He will definitely help and
support our family for the sake of Bernie. So, it’s settled then. We’ll announce it at the board meeting in
due course. Just cooperate well as a family in the future, Patrick won’t let you down.”
With that. Bruce didn’t even give a chance to object. He stood up directly and said. “Bernie, come with
me to the study.”
Then, leaning on his cane, he walked away, leaving Bishop and his family unable to stop him.
Afraid of being targeted, Bernice quickly followed Bruce.
After they left, Bishop couldn’t hold back any longer. “Mom, once this board meeting is convened, our
family will be left with nothing. From then on, we’ll be like beggars, waiting for Patrick’s handouts.”
To prevent Millicent from wavering, Bishop continued to sob pitifully and say, “And why does Dad think
that the Zimmerian family and the corporation would develop better in Patrick’s hands? Can’t our family
do it? Maybe Queenie could also find a powerful man in the future, right?”
“What’s the fuss about?” Millicent slammed the table hard.
Bishop pleaded, “Mom, I don’t care. You have to make Dad change his decision. We can’t let Patrick’s
family call the shots!”
Millicent maintained a serious expression and said, “It’s not like we’re going to have a board meeting
right now. We still have a chance. Let’s proceed as we discussed the other day. Once we succeed,
your father will surely change his decision.”
Upon hearing that, Bishop and his son, along with Sapphire, their eyes lit up with excitement.
The only response from Queenie was a bitter smile.
Meanwhile, Bernice, following Bruce to the study, was the first to speak. “Grandpa, I hope you
reconsider the decision you just made.”
Bruce asked, “Don’t you want to take charge of the Zimmerman family and the corporation?”
honestly.
“I do!” Bernice nodded But my desire is not to monopolize the Zimmerman family and the corporation.
My father wouldn’t think that way either. I simply feel that if the Zimmerman family and the corporation
fall into the hands of Uncle Bishop, they will gradually decline.”
Since you also know that your uncle and his house are not suitable, why are you asking me to change
my decision now?
Bernice chuckled bitterly. “You always say harmony is everything, right, Grandpa? And besides, when
you and Grandma were…
Afterward, Bernice didn’t continue speaking
However, Bruce knew what she wanted to say, so he said. “That’s right. Your grandma and I used to Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
favor arranging a marriage between you and the Sable family, letting Bishop and his family inherit
everything. After all, Timothy is the only male in the third generation of the Zimmerman family.
Traditionally, sons. have always been the inheritors of the family business!
At that point, Bruce’s face darkened. “But it doesn’t matter now. Whoever can make the Zimmerman
family more glorious and stronger will be the one to inherit the Zimmerman family!”
The astute Bernice immediately sensed something was amiss. “Grandpa, what has happened?”
With a bitter smile, Bruce pulled out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and placed it in front of
Bernice.
It seemed as though he had aged instantly. “See for yourself.”
Intrigued, Bernice picked it up and opened it.
There and then, she discovered it was a paternity test report.
Upon seeing that the appraisers were Bruce and Timothy and the appraisal result, Bernice’s eyes
trembled. “You and Timothy have no blood relation? What’s going on?”
Bruce closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “There are two possibilities. Either your Uncle Bishop is
not my biological son, or Timothy is not your Uncle Bishop’s biological son. But I can say with absolute
certainty that your Uncle Bishop is my biological son!”
Since Bishop was his biological son, it implied that Timothy was not his biological grandson.
Bernice was completely taken aback. “Grandpa, so you only made this decision tonight? But why
didn’t
you just
say it outright?”
Bruce sighed bitterly. “One should not air one’s dirty laundry in public! Moreover, I’ve raised Timothy as
my own grandson for twenty-seven or twenty-eight years. Even though we don’t share a blood relation,
there’s still affection! So, you should also pretend you don’t know about this matter. Don’t tell anyone!”
Sensing Bruce’s heart-wrenching pain, Bernice walked behind him and gently massaged his head.
“Grandpa, don’t be sad. I know what to do now.”
Pausing, she asked. “But why did you suddenly decide to have a paternity test with Timothy?”
Bruce gently lifted his head, his gaze deepening. This is also why I let your family inherit the
Zimmerman family. You’ve found a good man.”
Then, without any concealment, he recounted the conversation he had with Finnegan at Jerome
Medical Clinic that day.
seem to
At that very moment, Finnegan was sound asleep in a room around the corner on the second floor. His
snoring was extremely loud, and he seemed heavily intoxicated.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, but Finnegan didn’t react at all.
After the knocking sound paused for a moment, the door was gently pushed open. Standing outside
was Queenie, her pretty face flushed red.
Standing behind her was Sapphire, who gently nudged her and urged in a low voice. “Take advantage
of Bernice’s absence to sleep with Finnegan. Once that’s done, Finnegan and everything else will be
yours. and your grandpa will change the decision he just made.”
Queenie bit her lip tightly. “Mom, I don’t like Finnegan
“What are you saying?” Sapphire sternly reminded, “You need to consider your father and your brother,
not just yourself. And what’s the use of liking someone Only a strong man should be your first choice.

With that, she pushed her in and closed the door behind her.
After some hesitation, Queenie turned off the dim, wap light.
Using the faint light from the window, she moved closer in the darkness, standing by the bed and
nervously undressing completely.
As her cheeks flushed with heat, she sat down, relying on her senses to undress Finnegan, and finally,
she laid down on top of him.
Taking the initiative yet feeling awkward, coupled with a complex mix of embarrassment and
helplessness deep within.
Finally, she lifted her leg and got on top of Finnegan in the darkness, her face so red it was as if it could
bleed. “Finnegan, if you don 1 break up with Bernice after this, I swear I’ll go down with you!
At that moment. Finnegan, who had been snoring loudly, opened his eyes. “So, you’re indeed
scheming under the guise of an apology? Get off. Why force yourself if you don’t want to do it?” he
said
