The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Upon saying that, Merlin took out his name card and passed it to Xavion.

Merlin indifferently said, "Think carefully about it. If you decide to cooperate, please contact me quickly. We don't have much time left. I'm sure you wouldn't want to collect your son's corpse after the fortyeight-hour deadline. Also, I'm going to retire soon. I don't want to leave such a case unsolved before my retirement." Xavion looked shocked and horrified, and he mindlessly accepted Merlin's name card and seemed as though he wanted to say something.

However, before Xavion could even form his sentence, Merlin carefreely bade them farewell and turned to leave.

"Goodbye!"

After Merlin had left, Xavion restlessly told his father, Spencer, "Dad... Merlin is right! This is so weird!"

Spencer's expression was ugly and a little panicked as he asked, "What does he mean by a big scandal? Is it about your grandfather? No matter what, I seized power legally and became the head of the family. Even if it ends up as a lawsuit, I won't lose in court!" "What's illegal is the part where I didn't allow him to come back and quietly sent someone after him. However, I didn't succeed! Even if this is exposed, I can deny it. What kind of impact could it possibly have? It won't be a big scandal, right?"

Xavion softly nodded. He smacked his lips and said, "I don't think so... We'll be guilty if we did hurt grandpa, but we didn't succeed... We even lost track of his whereabouts..."

Spencer returned to his seat and sat down, panicking a little as he asked, "What does Merlin mean... Xavion, do you have any scandals that I don't know of?"

"Huh? Me?" Xavion became a little nervous. He faltered but was unable to speak.

Spencer slammed the table angrily and shouted, "Why are you hesitating?! Hurry up and say it!"

Xavion trembled in fright and hurriedly confessed, "I-I... I've had an affair with a few female stars in Hollywood... One of them was the wife of a famous Hollywood director..." Xavion then added, "But that's okay, right?

Isn't this kind of thing normal in

Hollywood?! There's a Hollywood

male star who's

public

support to his wife, and he even encouraged her to find a young male boyfriend outside. The people here are very open-minded! Even if my scandals are exposed, no one will care at all..."

As soon as he finished his confession, he foolishly asked Spencer, "Dad... What about you?"

"Me?!" Spencer was angry. He

roared, "I'm already in my seventies!

What kind of scandals would I

have?! Even if there are any, it would

be from twenty or thirty years ago or even earlier. It would be

meaningless to expose those!"

Upon saying that, Spencer added, "I think Merlin isn't talking about scandalous affairs between men and women! These are just gossip in the United Stated. Try and think of something else!"

Xavion stared at Spencer blankly, looking lost. "I really can't think of anything else...'

Spencer thought of something in shock, and he blurted out, "Could the scandal be related to Homer?"

"Homer?" Xavion became more puzzled," Homer is excellent in his studies and character. Even if he has any scandals, it's at most some love affairs. What else could it be?"

Spencer snorted and said in

contempt, "think Merlin simply ran out of ideas. He'll be troubled if this case remains unsolved, which is why he imagined a lot of things His reputation as a great inspector is just for show!"

As they were speaking, the butler hastily ran in and interrupted them, "Master, Peyton Sate has a very important matter to report to you!"
