When Merlin heard that Kathleen wanted to give him a cheque for ten million US dollars, his instant thought was to reject it in a hurry.
He even panicked for a few moments and said, “Miss Fox, you have already helped me so much, so how can I take more money from you?!”
Keith, who was aside, also slapped his thighs and said excitedly, “Miss Fox’s idea is truly clever! It’s flawless! Flawless, I tell you!”
Having said that, he pointed at Merlin and said, “Merlin, you don’t have to worry about the money. Miss Fox is giving you this money so that you can explain everything better in front of your wife and daughter. This way, not only will your wife and daughter not complain about you, but they will also feel that you attach great importance to them, and all the contradictions in this matter will have a perfect and logical solution, then!”
Having said that, Keith added, “But you’re right. Miss Fox has helped you and also the Acker family. No matter what it is, I cannot let Miss Fox pay any more, so I will pay for it instead!”
Merlin hurriedly said, “Uncle, I can’t ask for your money! What’s more, although I don’t make much money, my family’s financial condition is still reasonable. My wife and daughter are not materialistic or greedy for money, and they don’t take money very seriously...”
Keith waved his hand and said, “No one said that your wife and daughter take money very seriously. This money is just for you to take to show them that you care about them and your future grandchild. You should take the cheque back with you and act according to Miss Fox’s plan. Explain everything to your wife and daughter, and all of your previous worries will also be solved in an instant. The ten million US dollars will also be a very powerful guarantee for your grandchild’s future! You have suffered so much for the Acker family, so you should give us a chance to express our gratitude!”
Lady Acker, who was aside, hastily reminded, “Keith, you said earlier that you would communicate with Merlin’s son-in-law and get him to agree to let Merlin’s grandson take Merlin’s last name. Don’t forget this matter.”
