The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 4371

Christian explained, "The cost of replacing a carpet like this only accounts for a small proportion of assets in our family. It’s the same as you changing a new garbage bag for your trash can. Do you feel distressed when you change the garbage bag?"

“F*ck...” Merlin smacked his lips and grumbled, "You people are disgusting."

Christian sulked. "I’m just telling the truth."

They gradually moved to the dining area as they talked. Keith invited Merlin to sit next to him.

Kaeden had informed the staff in advance. As soon as everyone was seated, the staff immediately served the prepared meals one after another.

Kaeden offered a bottle of whiskey, wanting to have a few rounds of drinks with Merlin and Christian.

Keith appeared concerned about how Merlin was currently doing and kept asking the latter about his latest troubles.

Merlin, however, refused to elaborate any further and only gave Keith vague explanations pertaining to several unresolved major cases that had been going on later. Keith quickly realized Merlin was unwilling to talk about it, and so stopped asking.

Due to his personality, Merlin did not have many friends. Moreover, his mother died early. His father did not remarry and raised him alone. Therefore, Merlin did not have any siblings.

In recent years. Merlin’s wife moved to Houston with his children. He was left alone in New York, and became more withdrawn. His family was close to the Acker family because of his father. However, their families were two worlds apart. As such, Merlin felt embarrassed of his status and did not want to disturb them.

Some time ago, Christian failed to buy the Rejuvenating Pill in Aurous Hill. This failure hit him hard. Meanwhile, Christian happened to be caught up in Homer's kidnapping case. If it weren't for those incidents, the two wouldn't have much chance to see each other as often.
