The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

"I remember." Christian asked, "What's wrong? Does this matter have anything to do with her?"

Merlin smacked his lips and said seriously, "There is no evidence to show that it is related to her, but I keep feeling like there is a connection to her."

Christian didn't say anything about how Quinn had delivered the medicine to his father tonight and saved his father's life, but instead, he asked, "Why do you think that?" Merlin said, "I think that this girl is not that simple!"

After saying that, he added, "Look, judging from Homer Fox's exposure, the charity dinner that was held on the night of his disappearance was clearly set up for Quinn Golding. He definitely planned to kidnap Quinn Golding to satisfy his own perverted desires. However, as a result, Quinn Golding, who had come from afar, did not fall for his trap. Instead, Homer Fox, the mastermind, fell into a trap himself. Even the most powerful man would not be able to defeat a local tyrant, let alone a tyrant like Homer Fox. So, don't you think that this girl should have some great abilities?"

Christian had a slightly stunned look on his face when he heard this.

A moment later, he spoke up and said," Merlin, do you know how Quinn Golding is related to my family?"

Merlin was surprised and asked, "What? You know her? I've investigated and looked into her details. She is the only daughter of the Golding family in Eastcliff. The Golding family seems to have a good relationship with your sister's in-laws, but the strength of their family seems to be a little worse off compared to your sister's in-laws. So, logically speaking, they shouldn't be anything in the eyes of the Acker family, right?"

Christian said seriously, "Quinn Golding is my nephew's fiancee!"

Merlin asked in shock, "Really? Has your nephew been found?!"

"No." Christian said, "The marriage between Quinn Golding and my nephew was decided by my sister when they were both children."novelbin

"Oh... A child betrothal...?" Merlin muttered to himself before he blurted out, "But I haven't heard you mention this before."

Christian said earnestly, "I only found out tonight. My father was in a critical condition, and his heart stopped beating. It just so happened that Miss Golding had come to visit, and she gave us a Healing Pill that brought my father back from the brink of death. Speaking of which, my father is really blessed with great fortune."

Merlin, who was on the other end of

the line, was stunned for a moment,

and after a while, he cursed and said, "F*ck! be d* mned tonight! Why are so many strange and bizarre things happening tonight? Not to mention the things happening to the Fox family, but even your father was critically ill, yet it just so happens that Quinn Golding flew from the east coast to the west coast to deliver medicine from a thousand miles away. Is she a prophet, or did she catch wind of something ahead of time?"

This..." Christian frowned and said, "That shouldn't be possible... She just happened to come over to visit. Didn't I tell you that she's my nephew's fiancee? She is here in the United States for a concert tour this time and so, she came to visit us at our home. It just so happens that she visited us on the night when my father happened to be in a critical condition and so..."

Having said that, Christian suddenly stopped speaking with a puzzled expression on his face.

Although Merlin couldn't see his

expression, he already had a rough idea and so he spoke up and asked, "Do you also think that it's indeed a little ridiculous and nonsensical that Quinn Golding should fly from the east coast of the United States to the west coast overnight to visit at this time just when your father happens to be critically ill?"

Christian murmured, "When you put it that way... it is indeed a little strange..."

With that being said, Christian said again," But this matter is also strange even if you look at it from the other way round. My father's critical illness has never been revealed to the public, and no outsiders aside from you know about this. So, how did she know that my father was critically ill, then?"

Merlin asked him, "What time did Quinn Golding arrive?"

Christian thought about it and said, "Maybe about ten or twenty minutes later than me. I cannot remember exactly."

Merlin smacked his lips and said, "This is really f*cked up. You're leaving from New York, and she also left from New York too. Furthermore, she was only ten or twenty minutes later than you. That means that she basically left right after you! This is not a f*cking coincidence! She was obviously rushing over there to save your father's life!'
