The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5741

Merlin’s words suddenly made everything clear to everyone.

For so many years, the Ackers couldn't understand why Curtis, who was full of literary grace and gentlemanly demeanor, had clashed with the Rothschild family in such a rough manner. Even Charlie couldn't understand why his father would become enemies with the Rothschild family. For a long time, Charlie even thought that the ultra-rich and powerful Rothschild family might have been the culprits behind his parents' murder.

But today, after chatting with his grandfather's family and Merlin for so long, he finally understood why his father had acted that way back then. He just wanted to give himself a proper chance to distance himself from the Wades and even from the Ackers.

He and his mother had probably already realized that they were facing danger and were drawing a clear line with both families to undoubtedly protect them.

Keith couldn't help but burst into tears as he choked up and said, “Why did these two foolish children, Curtis and Ashley, not seek our help back then? As their father, I not only failed to realize that they were facing great danger at the time, but I also harbored resentment toward their estrangement from the family. Now, I finally realize that back then, they just didn't want to implicate us as well…”

Merlin comforted him, “Lord Acker, you don't need to blame yourself too much. Curtis and Ashley, as a couple, probably knew very well that even if the Ackers and the Wades joined forces, they couldn't match the strength of the Qing Eliminating Society. If so, how could they drag their family into trouble for themselves?”

Lady Acker couldn't help but feel emotional as she spoke up with tears in her eyes, “That’s right. Ashley was strong-willed. Whenever she encountered difficulties since she was young, she never wanted to talk to her family about it. The reason why the Ackers's wealth expanded rapidly two or three decades ago was all thanks to her strategic planning in Silicon Valley, but when she went to Oskia with Curtis, she didn't take a penny from home at all…”

Everyone was startled by her words, and they immediately realized that Lulu was right.

Since the couple didn't want to implicate their own families back then, why did they bring their only son with them?

They probably had already made up their minds to die, but since they knew that they were going to die, they shouldn't have taken Charlie, who had just turned eight at the time, with them. According to common sense, in such a situation, they would have tried everything to send their son to a safer place, but the couple had decided to take Charlie with them to Aurous Hill after their fallout with the Wades.
