The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

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.

However, Lord Acker had a cold expression on his face as he said, "So what? So what if you were cannon fodder? Even if you were cannon fodder, weren't you blocking the bullets for my family?! To use an appropriate analogy, according to what you've said, those martyrs who didn't kill the enemies but died at the gunpoint of invaders did not sacrifice their lives for the country, then? What kind of logic is that?"

"This... I...” Merlin was also suddenly speechless.

It was true that Lord Acker's words were indeed more logical than his.

Christian, who was aside, reminded him, "Merlin, don't forget that this is not about you. It's about the Lammy family's blood inheritance and leap in social class. Besides, you know my father's character well, so there is no point in you struggling fearlessly."

Merlin could not help but think of what Lord Acker had said to him in the private room at the performance.

He had wanted to let Merlin's grandchild take after his last name, Lammy. Although this method was a little old-fashioned, it really touched his heart.

If he wanted to carry on his family lineage, the necessary condition would be to pass on his last name. If this was true, he would not feel ashamed to face his ancestors after his death, then.

After thinking about it, he clasped one of his hands over the other as he faced Lord Acker and said sincerely, "Uncle Acker, I will definitely remember your kindness!"

Keith said solemnly, "Don't mention who has been kind to whom anymore in the future. We will help and support each other in the future."

Merlin nodded Christian, who was aside, suddenly remembered something and said to Merlin, "By the way, Merlin, your wife came to New York a few days ago, but I don't

know if she's still in New York. Do you want me to call and ask her?"
