The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 4380

This also made Charlie a little more cautious. He didn't have to step out of this door as long as the performance was not over. Meanwhile, inside the private room next door.

Lord Acker and Lady Acker were sitting on the sofa. Christian and his wife were next to the elderly couple, and Kaeden, Jaxson and his wife, as well as Charlie's youngest aunt, Lulu, were all sitting opposite them.

As for Merlin, he headed straight to the bar and poured himself a glass of whisky. After that, he sat on the long footstool at the bar as he drank by himself.

In addition to the four Acker siblings and Charlie's three uncles and aunts, both of Kaeden's sons, Jaxson's eldest daughter, and Lulu's twelve-year-old daughter had also come together with them tonight.

These juniors were all Charlie's cousins, and they were also Quinn's fans. Hence, they had followed their family all the way here from Los Angeles.

Both of Christian's daughters liked Quinn very much. However, it was just that his eldest daughter was studying for a doctorate at Stanford and his second daughter was studying in Europe, so they were relatively busy with their studies. Before this, when Lord Acker was seriously ill, they had delayed a lot of their school work and so, they had already rushed back to school early this morning.

However, Christian's daughters had also specifically instructed several of their other siblings to take as many videos of the concert as they could and upload them to the Acker family's personal internal family chat software.

Although Charlie could not perceive their identities, he was able to identify almost everyone's identities after listening to them making small talk for a few minutes.

Amongst them was Kaeden's eldest son whom he had met as a child, but at that time, Charlie's cousin was still in infancy.

As for Jaxson's eldest daughter and Lulu's only daughter, Charlie had never met them before.

At this time, Christian saw that Merlin seemed to be a little bored drinking alone. So, he walked over to the bar, sat down beside him, and asked, "Why? Your mood hasn't eased yet?"

Merlin smiled bitterly and said, "How can it ease? We have known each other for so many years now, and you know me very well. I'm feeling really depressed because I've suffered such a big loss but I have no chance to get back at it at all!"

Christian poured himself a glass of

wine,

saided glasses with him, and

said, "Merlin, look ahead. Your days

as a police officer were long, but they are already over."

Merlin nodded slightly and sighed as he said, "You're right. I have to look ahead..."

Christian then asked him, "Earlier, you said that you wanted to go to Houston to accompany your wife and children, right? Did you tell them?"

"Not yet." Merlin smiled wryly as he

Ine

said," Isn't it all because I'm still unconvinced? I keep feeling that there's a chance for this case to come to light..."

Christian said seriously, "Merlin, listen to my advice. Go back and pack your bags tonight and set off to Houston on the earliest plane tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Christian then said," Forget it. I will arrange for a plane to send you there!"

Merlin had a hesitant look on his face as he said, "Isn't that a little too fast...?"

Christian said seriously, "You have to take decisive action in a complex situation." Merlin was suddenly at a loss.

He wanted to leave, but he was really reluctant to do so.

Just then, Merlin suddenly received a text message on his cell phone. He opened it, and the expression on his face quickly became excited as he hurriedly said to Christian, "You just

said that you will arrange for a plane ra to take me to Houston, right?"

Christian nodded and said, "That's right! As long as you agree to it."

Merlin said without any further hesitation," Arrange for it tonight, then! I will go to the airport immediately after the concert!"

Christian was surprised, and he asked," You've been so fickle and indecisive for a long time, so why are you suddenly in such a hurry?"

Merlin grinned and said, "My daughter just sent me a text message saying that she's pregnant!"
