The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Christian's words left Merlin silent for a long time.

Back then. Merlin had only heard of Ashley's incident. Due to his professional sensitivity, he had once wanted to find out the secret behind that incident but there were very few insiders who knew of that incident. Moreover, it was so secretive, and so, Merlin did not continue looking for trouble for himself.

However, when he thought of Ashley, he still could not help but sigh as he said," Christian, what happened to your elder sister... is really a pity... If she was still alive, I'm afraid that the world of the rich would be a completely different picture now. Christian nodded gently.

As the younger brother with the smallest age gap with Ashley, he best understood what kind of strength his elder sister possessed.

It could be said that half the credit for what the Acker family had today belonged to the Acker family's ancestors, while the other half of the credit belonged to Ashley.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

As he thought of this, he could not help but sigh and say, "My elder sister had been strong all her life and she never gave up on anything that she had decided on. The old man loved her very much and he would not have gotten into a cold war with her if she hadn't insisted on marrying so far away. So many things would not have happened after that if only my elder sister did not marry Curtis Wade."

As Christian spoke of this, he could not help but waved his hand and sighed as he said, "I can only sigh in regret as we speak of this now."

"Curtis Wade..." Merlin muttered and said," I don't have any impression of Curtis Wade at all. I've never met him before, right?"

Christian nodded and said, "It's normal that you haven't met him before. The old man has always despised him and so, he rarely comes to the Acker family's mansion."

Merlin hurriedly said, "Let me ask one more question. Why does Lord Acker have such a big prejudice against your brother-in-law?"

Christian shrugged and said

helplessly, "In fact, my

brother-in-law's family also has a very high domestic ranking in the country. His family is even ranked in the first two positions. However, his family is still a lot worse off

compared to the Acker family. When they had both fallen in love, it happened to be during the stage of the great rise of Silicon Valley The series of investments that my elder sister has made in Silicon Valley was beginning to make crazy profits and so, my father had always felt that my brother-in-law was deliberately trying to get close to the Acker family and that was the reason why he had deliberately approached my elder sister. My father had preconceptions and prejudice against him because of this. Furthermore, my brother-in-law had wanted to take my sister to Oskia. My father doted on my elder sister the most, so how could he agree to it when he heard that she would be taken to the other side of the world?"

As Christian spoke, he said again, "My brother-in-law is also a very firm and determined man. In fact, at that time, my mother was already doing my father's job and she thought that it would be worth it to let my brother-in-law stay in the United States. After they both got married, they could continue living in and developing in the United States. My father also loosened his stance and what he meant was that he would no longer be opposed to the both of them getting married as long as my brother-in-law stayed..."

Merlin exclaimed, "What Lord Acker meant was that he wanted your brother-in-law to be a live-in son-in-law then?"

"It cannot really be considered a live-in son -in-law situation." Christian then explained, "My father only wanted both of them to stay in the United States to develop. He did not say that their children would have to bear the last name Acker in future. This shouldn't be considered a live-in son-in-law situation, right?"

Merlin shook his head and said, "It's not that bad. You should know that he isn't a poor boy who has nothing and he's also from a famous family even if they weren't as rich as the Acker family. So, how could he accept the conditions of staying in the woman's family to develop, then?"

Christian nodded and said, "That's

also true but my father had thought

that this was already a very big

concession and the other party shouldn't have had any objections at that time. However, my

brother-in-law felt that this over

a

matter of principle that couldn't be compromised. So, the two sides had not been able to resolve the

differences."

Merlin nodded slightly and was silent for a moment before he then asked, "Oh, yes! I remember that your elder sister has a son and she once brought the child back to meet Lady Acker. I also met him then. How is the child now?" Christian was slightly stunned. After that, he sighed and said a little melancholically, "My nephew disappeared after my elder sister and brother-in-law met with an accident. Many people have been looking for him but there has been little clue. Although my father has never said it before, in fact, he has never stopped looking for my nephew for the past twenty years."
