The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Christian said seriously, "Merlin, you have to be a little more optimistic! Aren't you just suffering a minor setback in your strongest field? I'm telling you, it doesn't matter."

Christian pointed at himself and said," Look at me! I've been treated as a guest of honor for so many years, no matter where I go. Even if the other party is a man who's in his nineties, he'd take the initiative to stand up to give me the best seat. Yet, I got kicked out in front of so many people when I went to an auction some time ago. At that time, I really felt like digging a hole in the ground to hide. But just look at me now! I've already gotten over it!" "No matter how well you do as a human, it's impossible for everyone to give you respect. Similarly, as a detective, no matter how good your professional skills are, you won't be able to solve all cases." "You have to learn to accept failures and try your best to stay calm at the same time. When you look back at this matter again after some time, you'll realize that it's just a bad experience and it'll eventually pass."

"But if you hold onto this matter and still think about this incident, and how you couldn't find the person who was responsible for this incident... Even when you're already in your seventies or eighties, you'll never get over this hurdle. You'll never be happy for the rest of your life. Don't you think that's true?"

Merlin smiled helplessly. "You're really good when it comes to persuading people."

After saying that, he picked up his wine glass and said to Christian, "Come, come!

Let's finish this glass!"

Christian waved his hand. "Don't drink so much, just a little. You have to save some energy and wait for the big show. Once it's on, I'm sure you'll be less pressured."

Merlin was astonished. "Are you referring to the 'public execution'?"

Shortly after Homer was kidnapped, Christian and Merlin surmised the motive behind the incident and came to the conclusion that someone must be intending to carry out a public execution of the Fox family.

Homer's kidnapping and abuse had spread all over the internet, attracting the attention of hundreds of millions of people. The popularity of it had reached its peak.

Moreover, the forty-eight hours'

window given by the kidnapper was

quickly drawing closer and closer. If

their guess was right, the big reversal might come

soon.

At this point, Christian laughed. "If Homer Fox has really been doing a lot of evil and is exposed for it, believe no one will blame you for being unable to save him. Don't you

think so?" Merlin shook his head and smiled w hate to admit it, but what you just said is true."

Christian nodded and smiled. "So, just wait and watch with a peace of mind. The big show will come soon."

He then added, "That's also the reason why

I decided to go back tomorrow morning instead of leaving tonight. I want to watch the show in New York before leaving."

Although Charlie was eating calmly upstairs, he could hear the entire conversation between Christian and Merlin without fail.

He couldn't help but feel surprised

when he heard this. He didn't expect his uncle and Inspector Lammy to be able to analyze all of his true motives, even predicting his next plan accurately. This was completely unexpected.

At this moment, Christian's cell phone suddenly rang.

When he saw the name of the person on his cell phone, he smiled. "Hey, Lulu."

A woman's urgent voice sounded over the other end of the line, crying, "Bro, come back quickly! Dad is dying!"
