Christian’s words left Merlin silent for a long time.
Back then. Merlin had only heard of Ashley’s incident. Due to his professional sensitivity, he had once wanted to find out the secret behind that incident but there were very few insiders who knew of that incident. Moreover, it was so secretive, and so, Merlin did not continue looking for trouble for himself.
However, when he thought of Ashley, he still could not help but sigh as he said," Christian, what happened to your elder sister... is really a pity... If she was still alive, I'm afraid that the world of the rich would be a completely different picture now.
Christian nodded gently.
As the younger brother with the smallest age gap with Ashley, he best understood what kind of strength his elder sister possessed.
It could be said that half the credit for what the Acker family had today belonged to the Acker family's ancestors, while the other half of the credit belonged to Ashley.
As he thought of this, he could not help but sigh and say, "My elder sister had been strong all her life and she never gave up on anything that she had decided on. The old man loved her very much and he would not have gotten into a cold war with her if she hadn't insisted on marrying so far away. So many things would not have happened after that if only my elder sister did not marry Curtis Wade.”
As Christian spoke of this, he could not help but waved his hand and sighed as he said, "I can only sigh in regret as we speak of this now."
“Curtis Wade..." Merlin muttered and said," I don't have any impression of Curtis Wade at all. I've never met him before, right?"
Christian nodded and said, "It's normal that you haven't met him before. The old man has always despised him and so, he rarely comes to the Acker family's mansion."
Christian nodded and said, "That's also true but my father had thought that this was already a very big concession and the other party shouldn't have had any objections at that time. However, my brother-in-law felt that this was a matter of principle that couldn’t be compromised. So, the two sides had not been able to resolve the differences."
Merlin nodded slightly and was silent for a moment before he then asked, “Oh, yes! I remember that your elder sister has a son and she once brought the child back to meet Lady Acker. I also met him then. How is the child now?"
Christian was slightly stunned. After that, he sighed and said a little melancholically, "My nephew disappeared after my elder sister and brother-in-law met with an accident. Many people have been looking for him but there has been little clue.
Although my father has never said it before, in fact, he has never stopped looking for my nephew for the past twenty years."
