The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Merlin's subordinate understood very well the severity of the matter.

The United States was a country with clear enforcement powers and restrictions. If the police tracked and investigated a public figure at will without their superior's permission, it would cause negative public opinion once exposed. However, he was Merlin's trusted subordinate. Thus, he obeyed Merlin and dared not delay his task. He immediately said, "I'll look into it now, sir!"

Merlin reminded, "Remember to keep it a secret. An unexpected discovery can affect the case's conclusion!"

The subordinate nodded. "Don't worry, sir. I've been working for you for so many years. Don't you know how I do things?"

He then checked the time and said, "It's already two in the morning. I'll try to bring back the clues you want before nine the next morning!"

Pleased, Merlin nodded in reply and said," Thanks a lot."

After his subordinate left, a faint excitement grew in Merlin's heart. He had been very depressed ever since Homer was kidnapped, for there were no clues to his disappearance. At long last, he finally saw a long-awaited glimmer of hope. It was already late at night in New York, but the city was far from asleep. Homer's incriminating video was quickly spread on the Internet like wildfire.

Countless New Yorkers were traumatized by the video, so much that they couldn't get

a wink of sleep. The people felt many complicated emotions surging in them: anger, fear, nervousness, and anxiety.

People continued to express their opinions on the matter online and condemned the Fox family at the same time.

While they were aware that it was largely Homer's personal actions, the more clear-minded ones knew Homer's crimes were enabled mostly due to the Fox family's influence and financial power.

At once, the Fox family's reputation plummeted to the bottom. In a flash, they became an object of scorn.

Spencer was still the head of the Fox family in the eyes of the public, and quickly became a target of crazy attacks by netizens.

Kathleen didn't immediately speak on

behalf of the Fox family. Meanwhile, Spencer's mood fell rock bottom as he took the brunt of the netizens' scathing comments.

He wanted to beg Kathleen to hurry

up and make a speech so she could clarify everything and release him of

all responsibilities. He could

announce that Kathleen had replaced him as the new head of the family, too. However, he dared not

make such a demand from her.

After all, Kathleen and Jordan were generous for not settling accounts with him over forcefully seizing Jordan's power. To demand Kathleen to take action at this time was simply asking for trouble. Besides, he was clear of the fact that Charlie had specifically ordered Kathleen to hold the press conference tomorrow morning, which meant Spencer would have to take the blame for the family for the time being. Soon, the next morning had arrived.

The netizens had gotten very worked up over the incident. Just as they were busy flinging angry insults criticizing Homer and Spencer, another video appeared on the Internet.

In the video, Homer and Finley's bodies could be seen lying in a crematorium. The one who shot the video proved their identities first before pushing the two bodies into the incinerator, reducing them to ashes.

The video was recorded in one take, starting from the identification of the corpse and the whole process of cremation, until it was reduced to merely bone ashes. At the end of the video, it showed seven words in Oskian subtitles: As you sow, so shall you reap.

The video stirred the whole internet.

People knew Homer was kidnapped and had both ears cut off by a mysterious perpetrator, but no one was aware of Homer's final end.novelbin

Now, they were delighted to know

that the two culprits of such terrible

cruelty had been executed by the mysterious kidnapper. Everyone knew. If the police were the ones who had caught Homer and Finley instead, their worst punishment would only amount to life imprisonment.
