Christian hurriedly used his cell phone to search for some photos of Kathleen from the internet and handed it over to Lord Acker. After looking at it several times, Lord Acker returned the cell phone to Christian, but he was suddenly startled as a figure flashed through his mind, and he could not help but ask, “By the way, Christian, was Miss Fox the one who took Merlin away?”Christian asked in surprise, “Dad, do you remember Merlin?”Lord Acker said in a daze, “An image just flashed through my mind just now as if I remembered that our benefactor said that Merlin was dead...”Having said that, he hurriedly asked, “Christian, did our benefactor say that he would get someone to take Merlin’s body away for a proper burial?”Christian was shocked that his father could still remember some fragments of that day and mourned, “Our benefactor did say that at the time. I reckon he must have left this matter to Miss Fox.”Lord Acker’s eyes turned red, and he said with a little self-reproa
Kathleen did not expect the old man to remember her, so she quickly said respectfully, “Lord Acker, how are you doing lately?”Lord Acker nodded and said to Kathleen, “I’ve been fine lately thanks to you, Miss Fox.”Kathleen hurriedly said, “Please don’t say that, Lord Acker! How can I afford it when I’m your junior!”Christian, who was aside, also nodded politely at Kathleen and said, “Hello, Miss Fox!”Kathleen responded respectfully in turn, “Hello, Mr. Christian!”Christian asked with concern, “Miss Fox, I would like to ask, where is my good buddy, Merlin, buried now? Please give me the address if it’s convenient. I’d like to go and pay my respect to him.”Before Kathleen could speak up, Merlin, who was wearing a mask and a pair of sunglasses, suddenly said, “Christian, your good buddy is not dead yet!” When Merlin said this, Christian and Keith who were beside him were dumbfounded!Both of them could hear and tell that it was Merlin’s voice. However, neither one of them
Keith and Christian quickly invited them into Ark Building. They then took the elevator from the roof to the top floor. Once they got out of the elevator, Keith brought Merlin into the conference room directly. All the Acker family members, both young and old, were waiting in the conference room. According to Lord Acker’s intention, they were planning to thank Kathleen in person.Keith pushed the conference room door open, and all the Acker family members stood up one after the other. However, what they did not expect was that it would be Merlin, who had a close friendship with the Acker family, instead of Kathleen who would come in behind him!The moment they saw Merlin, the Acker family members were instantly shocked.Everyone could not believe their eyes. This was because they firmly believed that Merlin was dead since he had been implicated by the Acker family.Therefore, now that Merlin was suddenly appearing in front of them, the Acker family members seemed to have lost t
When Kathleen heard that Lady Acker wanted to see Charlie, she hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, Lady Acker. Your benefactor’s whereabouts are uncertain. He simply gave me the pill this time and left after telling me he had a lot of other important things to do.”Strictly speaking, Kathleen was not lying.This was because Charlie’s whereabouts were indeed uncertain, especially during this recent period of time when he had traveled from Canada to the United States, Hong Kong, and then to Mexico. Kathleen also did not know his specific plan.Moreover, it was indeed true that Charlie had left the Fox family’s freezing center. He had rushed back to Shangri-La to prepare for the arrival of the Ito family and Yashita.When Lady Acker heard Kathleen saying that their benefactor had already left, she was very disappointed and said, “Our benefactor saved our family that day, and he has saved Merlin now. We can never repay him for his great kindness even in a few lifetimes, yet he is not even gi
If he wanted to save Merlin, he would inevitably expose some clues in front of his grandparents’ family, and it was his own choice to save Merlin from the beginning. Now, he had actually obtained the core medicinal herb to refine the Regenerating Pill in Mexico by chance, so naturally, Charlie had decided to save Merlin too.As for the clues that had been exposed, Charlie did not care too much about that.After all, they were his grandparents, not his enemies. What’s more, the clues that were exposed so far would only allow them to get one more piece of the puzzle, and at present, they were still far from finding out the truth if they wanted to find out his identity. Christian’s speculation resonated with the entire Acker family. Kaeden could not hide his excitement and said, “Christian, if that’s the case, it seems as though our benefactor has a lot of connections with us! Our benefactor should also know of how you were kicked out of the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill in Auro
The Acker family knew that Lord Acker actually also wanted to know who this benefactor with such great strength really was.Nevertheless, since he had already said so, they naturally did not dare to overstep their bounds.Therefore, Christian took the lead and said, “Don’t worry, Dad. We will definitely keep your request in mind, and we will never cross this line.”Kaeden also nodded and said, “Dad, Christian is right. We will definitely never cross this line.”Merlin, who was aside, could not help but feel a little disappointed.He had promised Charlie that he would never reveal Charlie’s identity.However, he hoped that the Acker family would be able to acknowledge and get reacquainted with Charlie as soon as possible from the bottom of his heart. That was the reason why he had taken the initiative to mention the Rejuvenating Pill in front of Christian earlier, all to remind the latter that these clues should be connected and considered so that he could surely find out some i
Merlin said awkwardly, “Aunt, to be honest, I haven’t figured out how I’m going to go back and explain to my wife and daughter why I ended up disappearing after my daughter sent me a text message to tell me that she was pregnant...”Having said that, he also wanted to distract Lady Acker’s attention, so he asked Christian, “Christian, my wife should have looked for you, right? What did you tell her?”Christian sneered twice and said, “What else could I say? I could only tell her that I was not sure either. Our benefactor specially instructed me not to tell your wife that you were dead but to tell her that you were missing or had eloped with another woman, but how could I have said that to her?”Merlin sighed and said, “I’ll also have to think about how I’m going to explain things to them when I go back. The two of them will probably always have some doubts if there is no relatively perfect explanation for this matter...”Christian thought for a moment and said, “Perhaps you can say
When Merlin heard that Kathleen wanted to give him a cheque for ten million US dollars, his instant thought was to reject it in a hurry.He even panicked for a few moments and said, “Miss Fox, you have already helped me so much, so how can I take more money from you?!”Keith, who was aside, also slapped his thighs and said excitedly, “Miss Fox’s idea is truly clever! It’s flawless! Flawless, I tell you!”Having said that, he pointed at Merlin and said, “Merlin, you don’t have to worry about the money. Miss Fox is giving you this money so that you can explain everything better in front of your wife and daughter. This way, not only will your wife and daughter not complain about you, but they will also feel that you attach great importance to them, and all the contradictions in this matter will have a perfect and logical solution, then!”Having said that, Keith added, “But you’re right. Miss Fox has helped you and also the Acker family. No matter what it is, I cannot let Miss Fox pay
