It was a crisis at that time, and given the events that followed their escape, Bertha was concerned about potential issues with the recorder.
When Neville activated the recorder pen, Wyatt’s voice came through clearly.
Miley felt a wave of relief and declared, “That’s wonderful. It’s finally time to end this.”
Breathing easier, Bertha signaled to Miley. “Miley, come over here.”
Miley was tense. She wondered why Bertha was calling her over now.
Had the older lady changed her mind? Or did she object to her being with Neville?
With uncertainty, Miley silently approached Bertha and met her gaze.
Taking her hand, Bertha offered a warm smile. “Don’t worry. I just wanted to thank you.”
“Thank me?” Surprised, Miley looked towards Neville instinctively.
Bertha patted her hand and said gently, “If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I couldn’t escape this situation. I owe you my thanks. Don’t worry. I’ll keep my promise. I’ll talk to Neville’s parents and support your relationship.”
Miley felt a lump in her throat and replied, “Thank you, Mrs. Pierce.”
Bertha sighed slightly and continued, “When the Pierce Group was in trouble, I was so worried about losing the family business that I thought a marriage of convenience could stabilize things. But, I overlooked my grandson’s feelings. I’m sorry.”

Miley shook her head and said, “Don’t worry about it. I understand you did everything for Neville’s sake.”
Looking at Miley with admiration, Bertha said, “Luckily, there’s still a chance to make things right. With you by Neville’s side, I think I can rest easy.”

Hearing this, Neville quickly assured her, “Grandma, you don’t need to worry. I’ll take good care of Miley, and I’ll learn to manage the company so that the Pierce Group can thrive.”
Bertha smiled contentedly and said, “That’s wonderful to hear.”
After a bit more conversation, Bertha grew tired and lay down to rest.
Later that evening, Stella received a call from Miley.
Miley relayed Bertha’s approval to Stella in excitement. “I was terrified at first. I thought she might change her mind when she woke up. But it turns out, she’s quite reasonable.”
Hearing Miley’s cheerful voice, Stella finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had seen firsthand the struggles between Neville and Miley, and now it seemed they had made it through.
She genuinely felt joyful for Miley and said, “Now you can have a peaceful life with Neville.”
“Yes,” Miley replied with a smile. “I used to worry I’d never get the Pierce family’s approval. This outcome is a wonderful surprise.”
Miley and Stella talked for a while longer before ending the call.
