The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Chapter 3811



When Charlie heard his mother's name actually coming out of his wife, Claire's mouth, he was instantly shocked, and he stood frozen in place as if someone had cast a spell on his body.

At this moment, Charlie's consciousness also seemed to have lost contact with his body, and he was also feeling extremely shocked. He also lost control of his emotions as he questioned her with much urgency, "What did they say to you?!"

When Claire saw Charlie getting so agitated, she asked in astonishment," Honey, why are you getting so agitated? Could it be that you've heard of Ashley Acker before?"Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Claire's question caused Charlie to feel a lump in his throat.

In the past, Claire had also asked Charlie about his parents' situation several times.

Charlie could not bear to lie about his parents' death and so, he had told Claire truthfully that his parents had died in a car accident when he was eight years old.

However, although Charlie could not bear t o lie about this matter, he also had his reservations. For example, he had never told Claire about his parents' names or their past life experiences.

So, Claire had always felt that Charlie might have somewhat forgotten about his parents' information and memories because he had lost his parents at a young age.

Moreover, Claire was not Kathleen, nor did she have Kathleen's brain or strength. So, she had never had any suspicions at all after hearing Charlie talk about his parents' past.

Therefore, Claire did not ask for any further details.

However, Charlie's reaction to the words 'Ashley Acker' really surprised Claire, and this made Claire think to herself, 'If Charlie has never heard of Ashley Acker before, he would not have reacted in such an agitated manner. However, there is hardly any information related to this person's name o n the inte. I myself am only hearing about it for the first time today. So, which channel did Charlie find out about this from?'

At this time, Charlie also realized that he had reacted inappropriately.

So, he explained to Claire, "When I went to Eastcliff before this to check the Feng Shui

in Miss Golding's house, I heard Miss Golding's parents mention this person before. It seems as though they know Ashley Acker and have a good relationship with her. So, I was a little surprised to hear you mention her too."

Claire immediately felt that Charlie's statement was very reasonable and so, she did not have any doubts in her mind. She nodded and said, "So that's how it is..."

At this time, Charlie asked again, "Honey, what did the both of them talk to you about Madam Ashley Acker? I'm also curious about her. Can you tell me about it too?"

Claire thought about it and said, "They told me a lot of stories about Ashley Acker. Ashley Acker was also the one who pushed my idol, Kelly Wearstler, up back in the day..."

As Claire spoke, she then gave Charlie a rough recap of what she had heard about Ashley that day.

It was only then that Charlie learned that the villa that he had lived in Eastcliff during his childhood was actually the matrimonial home that Kelly Wearstler had personally come to Oskia to design for his mother.

It was a pity that the house was already long gone now, having been refurbished by the Wade family. The traces from back then had already been completely erased.

As Charlie thought of this, he could not help but sigh emotionally, and he also felt a little regretful, He regretted having given up the old mansion where his parents had lived in Aurous Hill to Helen at the auction.

At this time, Claire was a little upset as she said, "It's just that I did not expect that such an outstanding

When Charlie heard this, he felt as though his heart had been hit hard with a hammer, and he could not help but ask,' Why is it fishy and odd? Do the both of them know anything about it?"

Claire shook her head and said, "Madam Wearstler does not know anything. She said that she only knows that Ashley Acker died in Oskia, and her natal family claims that it it was an accident. However, Miss Jane said that her grandfather seemed to be very secretive about this matter, and he even said that Ashley Acker's natal family did not even dare to pursue the truth behind this incident."

Charlie was shocked, and he quickly asked again, "Did Miss Jane give any more specific clues?"

"No." Claire shook her head and

said," Based on Miss Jane's meaning, it seems as though her grandfather does not want her to ask too much about this matter feel that her grandfather might know something, and he does not want her to ask more about this matter out of fear that she would be implicated."

Charlie felt a little excited in his heart.

Over the years, he had always wanted to find out the real reason behind his parents' death, but he had never found any actual clues.

He had originally thought that the Schulz family must have been behind his parents' death.

However, after coming into contact with the Schulz family, Charlie had gradually overturned this idea again because the Schulz family could not possibly have been his parents' opponents.
