The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 4842

“What?! You’re Ashley’s son?! How... How can this be possible?!”

Merlin had an incomparably appalled look on his face when he heard Charlie’s introduction!

He clearly remembered the conversation that he had had with Christian not long ago.

At that time, they had been talking about Lord Acker and Christian’s sister, Ashley. Christian had also mentioned his nephew, whose whereabouts and life and death were unknown.

Christian had said that the entire Acker family had traveled almost all over the world to find him.

However, they had been unable to find any traces of Charlie’s whereabouts no matter what methods they tried.

Many people even thought that Charlie had to be dead, but his corpse simply could not be found.

However, the Acker family had always felt that Charlie was definitely still living somewhere in this world and that they simply had not found him yet.

Merlin never would have dreamt that the first person he would see after opening his eyes upon coming back from the dead would be someone who claimed to be Ashley’s son.

This caused Merlin, who was a police officer, to question this immediately.

So, he calmed down and analyzed, “Why do I feel that I should already be dead? At that time, I remember that a group of thugs dressed in black shot at me from the elevator as soon as the elevator door opened... The group of thugs’ firepower was very fierce, and they basically did not hesitate at all. Before I lost consciousness, I remember that I was shot at least twenty to thirty times. I should have been f*cking dead a long time ago. Even God could not have saved me...”

Having said that, he widened his eyes and blurted out, “F*ck! Is this the world after death?!”

He had been handling cases for so many years and had encountered countless tragic dead bodies.

Still, he was the only one who had been shot by so many guns at such a close range.

When Merlin saw the photo, he was even more puzzled and blurted out, “D*mn it! I’ve ended up in such a state yet you’re telling me now that I’m not dead?! Do you think that I’m so stupid?”

Charlie pointed to his face in the photo and said, “Here. Take a closer look at your face. Do you find anything strange?”

Merlin looked down and saw that the expression on his face at the time of death was full of pain and unwillingness. He blurted out, “What’s so strange about this? Are you trying to ask me why I look so unwilling?”
