The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

As for Merlin, who was the first to take the Regenerating Pill, he returned to his home in Houston with his wife, daughter, and son-in-law on the Acker family's private plane.

Since Kathleen had helped endorse him, his image in the eyes of his family was comparable to that of a superhero.

In their earlier years, his wife and daughter had lived with him in New York. At that time, he had been so focused on his work that he seldom asked about his wife and child's affairs.

Because of his identity as a police officer, he was also usually quite harsh to his wife and daughter, so their family atmosphere had been very depressing.

Later, his relationship with his family became more and more rigid. His daughter, who was in college, deliberately gave up studying in New York and chose to come to Houston to study in order to be far away from him so that she could heave a sigh of relief.

His wife had also taken the opportunity to accompany her daughter to study in Houston, and they had begun a defacto separation from him.

Still, the good news was that the two sides had only been living apart, and things had not gotten to the point of divorce.

Merlin's daughter's academic was not considered excellent, and she had been rebellious in her youth, coupled with the fact that her father was a detective, so he was more strict than the average parent. Therefore, although she struggled desperately during her rebellion, she had not had the opportunity to venture much.

Although Merlin had lived most of his life in the United States, he was still a complete Oskian parent, and he interfered excessively and had strict restraint over his daughter's education.

His daughter had also become anorexic from being a rebel due to the high pressure she felt from Merlin. The relationship between the father and daughter had not been eased because of this.

Merlin's income before retirement was almost four to five hundred thousand US dollars annually.

This level of income was not low, but his family's social class was also firmly welded in the middle class on file at best. They did not have to worry about food and clothing, but they could not be said to be wealthy.

His daughter had then gotten married to a young Oskian man who had graduated from a prestigious university and worked at NASA.

Although Merlin's son-in-law had some talent and determination, he was not valued in NASA and even faced some ostracism and discrimination, so he often felt a little depressed.

Merlin understood his son-in-law. He was an aerospace professional, had high education, and was good with technology, but because of his identity as an Oskian coupled with the fact that he lacked connections or background, he had always been suppressed in NASA.

In truth, it was the same for Merlin when he had first become a detective.

Although minorities were rarely discriminated against in any obvious way within the United States police system, the general environment of suppression was everywhere.

Most minority police officers held relatively low-level jobs and had to work far harder compared to others to move up the ladder.noveldrama

After returning home, Merlin led his family to the living room and said emotionally, "I'm finally home, so let's have a meeting with everyone first."

His wife, daughter, as well as his son-in-law all agreed without hesitation and sat down beside Merlin.

Merlin took out the ten million US dollars cheque from Kathleen and said, "Regarding this money, my current thought is to leave all the money to the baby in Joy's belly and to start a family trust for the baby."

His daughter said, "Dad, the baby is not born yet, so you don't have to think so far ahead for him..."

Merlin said seriously, "This is what I must consider. Before this, I had too little consideration for you guys, and that is the reason why our family relationship is so distant. Besides, I'm not doing this for you, but for your child and future children...”

With that said, he sighed and said, "After interacting with Christian and their family more, I began to understand the truth. The reason why rich people in the West can

зал

always be rich is because their asset inheritance is more focused on the contract rather than a single inheritance. So, we should also establish a family trust starting from the baby in your belly. We should put this ten million US dollars into it, and this money should be used for the lowest risk investments before the child is eighteen years old. The money should be at least doubled by the time he turns eighteen."

Merlin's son-in-law could not help but speak up at this time, "Dad, there is

something that I've been trying to find an opportunity to tell you on the way back,

so don't get angry at me if I tell you..."

Merlin looked at his son-in-law, nodded, and said, "Just say it, Shane."

Merlin's son-in-law hesitated for a moment and said stiffly, "When I was at Ark Building, Mr. Christian from the Acker family approached me and said that the Acker family is willing to offer one hundred million US doftars to establish a trust for Joy and my child on the condition that if the child in Joy's belly is a boy, he will be given the last name Lammy. If the child is a daughter, she can also choose to take the last name Lammy, or we can wait for another boy and let the boy take the last name Lammy..."

Merlin's wife and daughter were shocked.

Merlin too was a little shocked. He did not expect that Christian would even talk to his son-in-law privately about this matter, and he hurriedly said, "Don't get angry, Shane. The

rechy Christian said this to you

is mainly because Lord Acker is a little old-fashioned. Don't take it to heart and don't blame him..."

"No..." His son-in-law said awkwardly, "Dad, I-I... I agreed to Mr. Christian's

proposal."
