A Healer’s Journey

Throughout his life, apart from Millicent’s favoritism toward Bishop, Bruce was actually fair to him and Bishop.

After Timothy came into the picture, he only had one daughter, Bernice. Although Bruce still allowed him to manage Firebird Group and serve as the chairman, it was all for him to help Bishop and Timothy conquer the world.

From beginning to end, the heirs apparent of the Zimmerman family had always been Bishop and his son.

The night before, however, Bruce had directly made the decision to let Patrick succeed.

Patrick was somewhat dazed, bewildered. This is so sudden! I always feel that it’s not Finnegan’s presence that changed Dad’s attitude. After all, no matter how strong Finnegan’s network and resources are, he is still an outsider, not a member of the Zimmerman family. Dad, who favors boys over girls, probably wouldn’t make such a decision just for Finnegan. That’s a bit unreasonable!

Finnegan had already learned from Bernice that Bruce had secretly conducted a paternity test. Therefore, Bruce made the decision the night before to let Patrick inherit the Zimmerman family.

However, Bruce was too proud to air his dirty laundry in public, so at that moment, Finnegan also found it difficult to tell the truth. “I’m not sure either. Perhaps Old Mr. Zimmerman has come to a realization. He thinks that entrusting the Zimmerman family and the group to you and Bernie is better than handing it over to Bishop and his son. After all, if the responsibility is truly handed over to them, the Zimmerman family and Firebird Group will inevitably head toward decline. In that case, he might as well entrust it to you, ensuring the prosperity of the Zimmerman family.”

Pausing for a moment, Finnegan continued, “Also, because of my involvement, the Langdon and Miles families are now doing business with Firebird Group. It’s not out of the question that Old Mr. Zimmerman made this decision just to curry favor with me!”

Patrick frowned. “So, just like that, my father changed his old-fashioned mindset of favoring sons over daughters and that only a son can be his successor?”

Finnegan retorted, “If not?”

That question left Patrick stumped.

If he could have thought of it himself, he wouldn’t have asked Finnegan.

To prevent him from continuing to worry, Finnegan said, “Mr. Patrick, I think you shouldn’t overthink it. Just take it as usual.”

With a light sigh, Patrick said, “You’re right. Why am I fussing over these things? I just hope Bishop and his family won’t get upset.”

Finnegan gave a playful smile. “This is Old Mr. Zimmerman’s decision. They wouldn’t dare to make a fuss.”

Bernice had the recording as leverage.
