A Healer’s Journey

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.
