Christian couldn't help but sigh and say, “Yes… back then, none of us took my sister's words seriously. We thought she might have been following her husband to research some strange things and was maybe even getting a bit obsessed. However, never in our wildest dreams did we imagine that many of the unbelievable things she said would come true.”
When Charlie saw the deeply regretful expression on Keith’s face, Charlie's previous complaints instantly eased. So, he spoke up to comfort him, “Grandpa, you don't need to blame yourself. With the strength of the Qing Eliminating Society, if the entire Acker family had been involved, it's possible that we would have met a disastrous end over twenty years ago. Qing Eliminating Society's power far exceeds your imagination. If they wanted to deal with the Ackers, it would have been an extremely easy task for them.”
Keith sighed and said, “I've experienced their power firsthand when I was in New York last time. I truly didn't expect them to spend such a long time planting a spy by our side. What's even more terrifying is how seamlessly she got to know Jaxson and made him fall in love with her. They even got married and had a child together. Everything seemed so natural without any flaws. Even now, when I think about it, it sends shivers down my spine. Who would spend so much time meticulously planning such a conspiracy? Moreover, they already have such a far-reaching influence. What have we, the Ackers, done to deserve their attention for so long?”
Charlie said seriously, “I can't understand this either. With their power, if they wanted to kill everyone in the Ackers, they could have easily done so with just one or two true experts. But over the past twenty years, they've done nothing. I don't understand why they suddenly decided to make a move against the Ackers as well.”
Charlie's second uncle, Kaeden, spoke up, “Could it be that there's something in the Acker family that they've been wanting to get?”
Keith asked, “If that's the case, what could it be?”
Kaeden shook his head helplessly, “Dad, I haven't figured out the specifics. I just raised a possibility for everyone to consider if there are any clues to add.”
Keith frowned and thought for a while before saying, “I don't remember anything that happened after your sister's death when my condition worsened, but memories of the years before your sister's death have become clearer in my mind. So, I've spent quite some time carefully recalling every detail of my meetings with your sister from the time she followed your brother-in-law to Oskia until the last few years before her death…”
