The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 3811

When Charlie heard his mother's name actually coming out of his wife, Claire's mouth, he was instantly shocked, and he stood frozen in place as if someone had cast a spell on his body.

At this moment, Charlie's consciousness also seemed to have lost contact with his body, and he was also feeling extremely shocked. He also lost control of his emotions as he questioned her with much urgency, "What did they say to you?!"

When Claire saw Charlie getting so agitated, she asked in astonishment," Honey, why are you getting so agitated? Could it be that you’ve heard of Ashley Acker before?”

Claire's question caused Charlie to feel a lump in his throat.

In the past, Claire had also asked Charlie about his parents' situation several times.

Charlie could not bear to lie about his parents' death and so, he had told Claire truthfully that his parents had died in a car accident when he was eight years old.

However, although Charlie could not bear t o lie about this matter, he also had his reservations. For example, he had never told Claire about his parents' names or their past life experiences.

So, Claire had always felt that Charlie might have somewhat forgotten about his parents' information and memories because he had lost his parents at a young age.

Moreover, Claire was not Kathleen, nor did she have Kathleen's brain or strength. So, she had never had any suspicions at all after hearing Charlie talk about his parents ’ past.

Therefore, Claire did not ask for any further details.

However, Charlie's reaction to the words ' Ashley Acker' really surprised Claire, and this made Claire think to herself, 'If Charlie has never heard of Ashley Acker before, he would not have reacted in such an agitated manner. However, there is hardly any information related to this person's name o n the internet. I myself am only hearing about it for the first time today. So, which channel did Charlie find out about this from?'

At this time, Charlie also realized that he had reacted inappropriately.

So, he explained to Claire, "When I went to Eastcliff before this to check the Feng Shui

in Miss Golding's house, I heard Miss Golding's parents mention this person before. It seems as though they know Ashley Acker and have a good relationship with her. So, I was a little surprised to hear you mention her too."

Claire immediately felt that Charlie's statement was very reasonable and so, she did not have any doubts in her mind. She nodded and said, "So that's how it is..."

Claire shook her head and said, "Madam Wearstler does not know anything. She said that she only knows that Ashley Acker died in Oskia, and her natal family claims that it was an accident. However, Miss Jane said that her grandfather seemed to be very secretive about this matter, and he even said that Ashley Acker's natal family did not even dare to pursue the truth behind this incident."

Charlie was shocked, and he quickly asked again, "Did Miss Jane give any more specific clues?"

"No." Claire shook her head and said," Based on Miss Jane's meaning, it seems as though her grandfather does not want her t o ask too much about this matter. I feel that her grandfather might know something, and he does not want her to ask more about this matter out of fear that she would be implicated."

Charlie felt a little excited in his heart.

Over the years, he had always wanted to find out the real reason behind his parents’ death, but he had never found any actual clues.

He had originally thought that the Schulz family must have been behind his parents' death.

However, after coming into contact with the Schulz family, Charlie had gradually overturned this idea again because the Schulz family could not possibly have been his parents’ opponents.
