The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

New York JFK Airport.

Two private jets took off twenty minutes apart.

Charlie's uncle Christian was on the first plane that took off first. Quinn, who had a Healing Pill with her, was on the plane that took off later.

Christian was also in a state of confusion at this time.

He felt extremely nervous and distressed for his father. He had never thought about waiting for his father's death, just so that they could divide the Acker family's property.

He also knew very well that his father was the core of the Acker family. The Acker family would be severely damaged if the man died at this time.

Therefore, he really didn't want his father to suffer such hardships.

Compared to other families, the Acker family was relatively united. There was little to almost no conflict between the siblings.

The main reason the Acker family could be so united was because of Ashley's unexpected death.

Ashley's death didn't only cause the Acker family to be in great sadness, but the Acker family had been blaming themselves for many years.

Everyone knew that if the Acker family supported Ashley's choice and her decision in marrying into the Wade family, then Ashley wouldn't have taken Charlie with her and gone to Aurous Hill together with Curtis after Curtis had a fall out with the Wade family. Going to Aurous Hill was a choice that the family of three didn't have.

If the Acker family had given Ashley a strong support at that time, Ashley and her husband would've taken Charlie back from Eastcliff to her natal home and settle down there at first opportunity.

If that was the case, the tragedy later might not have happened.

It was also after Ashley and Curtis's accident that Charlie's grandfather changed the way he managed the Acker family.

The words, 'a peaceful family will prosper' became his only philosophy for the Acker family management.

Under Lord Acker's promotion for so many years, the Acker family gradually got used to putting their family first in every single matter.

Once there was anything that came into conflict with family harmony, the family must be given unconditional priority.

After so many years, the Acker family under his leadership was indeed much more united compared to other major families.

Lord Acker was also very wise, and had done a meticulous job in the functional structure of the entire family.

He let Christian, who had a relatively

soft personality, take the lead in internal affairs. Kaeden, his second child who had a relatively strong personality, would take the lead of the external affairs. His third son Jaxson was in charge of assisting Kaeden in the organizational structure of the entire family industry. Lulu, the youngest of the siblings, was responsible for overseeing the entire Acker family's financial and legal work.

At the same time, he also gave Christian and Lulu a veto right on the board of directors as a circuit breaker at a critical moment, in order to prevent Kaeden from acting arbitrarily when in power.

If something were to happen to him as the head of the family, all the children would listen to Christian's、 arrangements upon arriving at the family home. The other three siblings would discuss only after

they left the house. If they were

Undecided, they would consult their

elder brother, Christian.

If Kaeden wanted to act arbitrarily, then Lulu, who knew the most about the finance and legal affairs, would use her veto power to control him.

If Kaeden wanted Jaxson and Lulu's support for another plan, then Christian could use his veto power to fuse it and avoid the risk for the Acker family.

The four siblings seemed to be cooperating with one another but at the same time, they acted as a check and balanced each other.

Although this organizational structure was seemingly tight, there were in fact great hidden dangers within it.

If there was no harmony within the family, it'd definitely lead to collusion and infighting amongst the parties. Fortunately, the Acker family was united. Thus, the four of them have always cooperated very well with one another.
