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
He could not help but say, “Uncle Acker, I’ve never felt that I was nearly killed before because of the Acker family...”After pausing for a moment, Merlin went on to say, “After all, I just happened to choose to accompany you for your gathering that day. It was my own choice, and I can only say that it was my own bad luck that I encountered the attack. In any case, this cannot be considered as me being kind to the Acker family...”“What’s more, I’m ashamed to say that even though I almost died at that time, I did not help the Acker family in any way at all. Those thugs shot me down without even giving me a chance to react. I was just cannon fodder, at best....”In truth, Merlin still had something to say.He felt that instead of being of any help to the Acker family, it was actually the Acker family’s grandson, Charlie, who had truly saved him and given him a new life.He owed Charlie his life, so it would be unreasonable for him to take the Acker family’s money at this moment.
“Okay.” Christian agreed and asked Merlin, “If she is in New York and asks me if I have any news about you, should I tell her the truth or lie to her first and wait for you to surprise her in person?”Merlin thought for a moment and said, “If she asks you, tell her that you have found some clues, but you want to tell her in person. Ask her to meet up with you, and I will surprise her in person then.”“Okay.” Christian nodded and then took out his cell phone immediately, making a call to Merlin’s wife, Josie Clinton. When the call was connected, an excited voice came from the other end of the line, “Christian, do you have any news about Merlin?”Christian was slightly startled, and he deliberately said, “Sister-in-Law, I have some clues here. Are you still in New York? I’ll come to talk to you in person.”Josie, who was on the other end of the line, asked in a pleasantly surprised voice, “Really?! What kind of clues? I’m in Washington now, and I’m getting ready to go back to New Y
