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

This was especially so when his daughter was still pregnant at the moment.When Keith saw that Merlin was crying, he hurriedly said, “Merlin, there will be great blessings after a catastrophe. You should be happy, so why are you crying?!”Having said that, he quickly turned to Kathleen and said with great appreciation, “Miss Fox, I have to say that your solution just now is really perfect. Still, even though you have to write this cheque, the money still has to come from the Acker family. You have already helped us so much, so we cannot let you spend any more money.”Kathleen smiled slightly and said, “Okay, Lord Acker. I’ll do as you say.”Keith then said to Merlin, “Merlin, when the time comes, let Christian arrange for your wife and daughter to come here directly. It just so happens that Miss Fox is staying for lunch. Your family should be arriving after lunch, so your family of three can be reunited after the meal!”Merlin wiped away his tears and nodded heavily. Keith said

After lunch, Merlin’s wife, daughter, and son-in-law finally landed at New York JFK Airport while the Ito family and Yashita were still flying over the ocean.The Acker family’s helicopter had been waiting at the airport for a long time. Under the Acker family’s coordination, the plane that was supposed to be parked on the corridor bridge was temporarily changed to a remote location. As soon as the three people got off the plane, they were taken away directly to the helicopter that was not far away by the Acker family’s staff who were waiting below.Merlin was so nervous in Ark Building that he kept pacing and rubbing his hands together.He had been repeatedly practicing the solution that Kathleen had given him out of fear that he would say the wrong thing when he met his family later.When Kathleen saw his nervousness, she said, “Chief Lammy, don’t worry too much. If you’re too nervous to express yourself well later, I can explain things to your wife for you then.”Christian also

An angel investor meant merely investing while disregarding the operation.These people could do whatever they wanted as long as the money was in place. They had a lot of things going on at their end, so you could just inform them if you didn’t have enough money as long as you did not bother them.This was what Josie really could not accept and felt most desperate about.However, when she heard from Christian that Merlin’s disappearance for so many days was due to some unexpected events, she burst into tears immediately and could not help but say to Christian, “Christian, to tell you some heartfelt words, if I didn’t still have some feelings for that b*stard, Merlin, I would have already filed for a divorce to the court on the grounds of de facto separation! After all, it’s easy to get divorced in the United States. We’ve been separated for years, so it’d be easy for us to get divorced in any state!”Having said that, she took out her handkerchief, blew her nose, and said in despai

Merlin did not expect that his wife, who had always been gentle, would react so fiercely. In the past, his wife would also have conflicts with him, but that was basically whining, sulking, and just a few days of cold war, at most.This was the first time she was yelling and scolding him so intensely. However, Merlin also knew that the reason why his wife had lost her composure was because she had been too worried about him during this period of time, so he naturally did not feel angry at all.Therefore, he could not wait to use Kathleen’s idea to explain himself. After making up his mind, he quickly explained, “Josie, I... I have a reason for that...”“Why? What’s the reason?” Josie asked angrily, “Don’t you think I understand you well enough yet, Merlin? Everything else is more important to you compared to me and your daughter! Your mind will be occupied whenever someone dies in New York, but when are you ever concerned about us?”Merlin was a little speechless.He was alre

Kathleen said indifferently, “Ten million US dollars may indeed be a lot to you, but to me, ten million US dollars is less than one percent of the compensation that I paid to those victims on behalf of the Fox family. This matter is very dangerous, and the slightest mistake could cost a person’s life.”Immediately afterward, she looked at Josie as well as Joy, who was behind Josie, and said seriously, “Actually, what I want to say is that you shouldn’t be complaining about how Chief Lammy didn’t inform you about this matter in advance. After all, the matter that I entrusted him to do was not only very complicated, but it was also very dangerous and he might have even lost his life if he was not careful.”“What’s more, Chief Lammy has already retired and intended to go back to take care of his own life, and there was no need for him to take this risk at all. However, he became very excited because of the ten million US dollars commission, and he didn’t accept the task because he wante

The family problems that Merlin had been worried about were finally successfully resolved with Kathleen’s help. Merlin’s sense of ‘family responsibility’ and ‘dedication’ not only made his wife and daughter forget about his disappearance during this period of time, but it also changed their image of him being an incompetent man, in their opinion.It could be said that Merlin’s image was suddenly pushed to an unprecedented height to his wife and daughter. Merlin’s wife and daughter gathered around him, and their eyes were flushed red from crying. Merlin was excited but also ashamed, and at the same time, he looked at Kathleen with slight gratitude that could not be concealed.Lord Acker admired Kathleen even more, and he took advantage of other people’s attention on Merlin’s family and called Christian and Kaeden aside as he whispered, “Miss Fox will be able to achieve great things in the future. The Acker family must strengthen our collaboration with her and build bridges with he

Jacob put a hand on his chest. "Don't worry—everything is going to be fine when my son-in-law takes the stage."As soon as he finished speaking, an unknown number called his phone.He answered, hearing a familiar voice he couldn't quite place, "Good afternoon. Am I speaking to Mr. Jacob Wilson?""Yes. May I ask who I am speaking to?""Albert Rhodes, owner of Heaven Springs at your service. Would you happen to remember me?"Hearing that, Jacob turned on the speaker excitedly as he continued, "Oh, yes, Don Albert! Of course I remember!"Mr. Bay's eyes lit up when he heard Albert announce himself, and he mouthed, "Is that really Don Albert?!"Jacob nodded repeatedly, his vanity burgeoning.Mr. Bay was naturally thrilled too, and he leaned closer to listen just as Albert spoke humbly, "If it's alright with you, Mr. Wilson, please don't address me as Don Albert. It's just a title some brats came up with—you are Master Wade's father-in-law, which means you have seniority over me. So,

Mr. Bay was overjoyed, seeing how quickly Jacob agreed to it. "Thanks, Jacob! I owe you!" He exclaimed, but soon added, "It's past four now, and that bunch like to fraternize in the room before they eat. Could you get the room soon? I think they'll be arriving soon."Then, he moved closer to add quietly, "If you can get a Diamond Room like before, I will bring you along. I'm not going to lie, these are officials with decision-making authority. Being friends with them might propel us to new heights!"Jacob already knew that Mr. Bay was sucking up to his friend, otherwise, he wouldn't be so concerned when the dinner was organized by said friend. Understanding that the friend must be important too, Jacob was at once buoyed.After all, he had presumed that becoming vice president was the most he could achieve.Now, if he could attend that dinner with Mr. Bay and establish a good relationship with those bigwigs, he would have his turn when Mr. Bay got promoted too.With that in min

Reservations in Heaven Springs had always been unpredictable, and most rooms weren't open to the general public—even if said rooms were vacant for the night.It was not as if Albert Rhodes didn't want to make money when he built Heaven Springs. He simply didn't do it solely for profit, but only mostly for social events and posturing.Back when he was a humbler member of society, he realized that many bigwigs and even his fellows cared for pride a lot. Be it food, liquor, or even simply everyday consumption, they always strove for the best and the most expensive.That was why polite society valued their privacy and established their respective social circles, which was why Heaven Springs ensured that everything was first-rate: atmosphere, service, food, and clientele.Just like how bigwigs wouldn't dine at the same table as their goons, said goons wouldn't eat at the fancy places those bigwigs frequented even if they had money, as it may appear as if they were overstepping.That wa

As such, intent on keeping up his pretense, Jacob answered the phone, "Looking for me, Matilda?""Uh-huh," Matilda replied, and asked, "You didn't show up at Senior University, and your sub is saying you probably won't be coming for a while? Is that true?""Oh—right, that," Jacob quickly said. "Well, it's true—the gist of it is that the Association is getting busy with a project. As the vice president, I probably shouldn't be staying at Senior University all the time, right?""Heck, Mr. Bay called me last minute, telling me how busy we're going to be and that I was needed. That's why I had to go back, but I will head over to campus again when I have the time."Matilda knew right then that those were all excuses.However, she did not expose Jacob, instead asking, "Well, when are you free? So that I can send you my wedding invitation?""Oh, the invitation?" Jacob quickly chuckled. "You really didn't have to come to me—just pass it to Walker, my sub lecturer. He can pass it to me wh

The next afternoon, there was a sudden change of lecturers for the calligraphy class.Despite being the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, Jacob never showed up, instead getting a substitute instructor to replace him.Matilda had come with the invitation Yolden had written for Jacob, but seeing that Jacob wasn't at the lecture hall, she waited until the class was over to ask the sub, "Excuse me, can I ask why Mr. Wilson wasn't teaching this class?""He's busy at the association," the sub replied. "So, I'm taking over his class."Curious, Matilda pressed, "Then, would you happen to know when he will be coming?""Probably not for a while," the sub replied. "He delegated other classes to me as well, telling me that I could just stick to the PowerPoint slides."Then, he asked, "Do you have business with Mr. Wilson?"Matilda nodded. "Yes, but I can call him myself. Thank you."Leaving the lecture hall, Matilda called Jacob, who was goofing off in his office

On the other end, Matilda was left staring at Jacob's reply in confusion.She had presumed that Jacob would understand when she mentioned inviting his whole family that he should be coming up with an excuse to skip attending her wedding.That was the most ideal solution.As such, she was shocked that instead of playing along, Jacob's reply was short and blunt.[No problem. The four of us will be there!]Perplexed, Matilda was left wondering what Jacob meant. Was he really going to attend her wedding with Elaine?The thought left Matilda frowning as she absolutely didn't want to see Elaine—especially not at her own wedding.Yolden was writing an invitation when he saw the somber look on her face, and he couldn't help asking, "Is there a problem?""Jacob replied," Matilda admitted. "And he's saying that he will bring his whole family.""Really?" Yolden was confused too, as he was hardly as eccentric as Jacob. "But he's afraid of his wife and shouldn't be telling her at all…

Charlie was driving Jacob to Thompson First when the latter received the text from Matilda.Seeing that they were reaching the front gates, Jacob promptly snapped at Charlie, "Charlie, stop the car now!"Charlie did so and asked in curiosity, "What's wrong?""Matilda just texted me," Jacob replied, showing the chat log between him and Matilda.Charlie was just glancing at it nonchalantly when he saw that Matilda's contact name was 'AAA July Florist'."Wait, why is that Aunt Matilda's contact name?" He exclaimed in surprise."I changed it."Jacob explained gingerly while reading through the text Matilda sent. "Her profile picture is an iris, so I changed her contact name to a florist since I'm mostly worried Elaine would peek into my phone.""Anyway, she's asking if I'm attending her wedding with Yolden. They would send us an invitation if I accept, extended to our whole family… what do you think I should say?"Charlie asked in return. "You're planning to skip it, aren't you? T

Then, Matilda suggested, "How about this—I'll ask him before deciding." "I'll pass on inviting the rest of my former classmates too. They're too vain and love comparing, so I'd rather not have anything to do with that. Also, there are our Korean friends who have it together, and they were telling us to invite them if we were going to get married. We have to keep our promise, right?""Yeah—then, it's basically decided. Aside from Charlie, we shall invite our colleagues and Korean friends while we wait for an answer from Jacob."Yolden nodded and said, "Now, I'll talk about the honeymoon—cut me short if you have a different opinion."Matilda nodded, resting her chin on her hands and smiling. "Shoot. I'm all ears."Feeling a little embarrassed by Matilda's glowing stare, Yolden took a sip of his ice water before continuing, "My idea is to head to the States for our honeymoon after the wedding…"He trailed off, staring at Matilda and waiting for a response.However, she was merely

"Oh, Jacob…?"Matilda chuckled awkwardly. "Just today, he offered to buy me dinner, but I said I didn't have the time, and I also told him about our wedding… So, we should invite him since he's aware of it.""Jacob offered to buy you dinner?" Yolden exclaimed in surprise. "Did he say why?""Nope," Matilda shrugged, smiling. "Probably just dinner between old classmates."However, she was actually smart enough to guess Jacob's intention even though Jacob was inviting her somewhere near campus. That was why she had also mentioned she was marrying Yolden while turning down Jacob, all so that he would give up on her.After she had managed to get over their past fling completely, she didn't want to give Jacob false hopes before she walked down the aisle.In the same regard, she didn't want to worry Yolden, and therefore, had deliberately discouraged Jacob.Be that as it may, Yolden was smart too.He knew about Matilda and Jacob's past and that her son, Paul's full name was Paul Jam
