The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 4866

Merlin did not expect that his wife, who had always been gentle, would react so fiercely.

In the past, his wife would also have conflicts with him, but that was basically whining, sulking, and just a few days of cold war, at most.

This was the first time she was yelling and scolding him so intensely.

However, Merlin also knew that the reason why his wife had lost her composure was because she had been too worried about him during this period of time, so he naturally did not feel angry at all.

Therefore, he could not wait to use Kathleen’s idea to explain himself.

After making up his mind, he quickly explained, “Josie, I... I have a reason for that...”

“Why? What’s the reason?” Josie asked angrily, “Don’t you think I understand you well enough yet, Merlin? Everything else is more important to you compared to me and your daughter! Your mind will be occupied whenever someone dies in New York, but when are you ever concerned about us?”

Merlin was a little speechless.

He was already not very eloquent, and he was even worse at lying.

He was a little confused for a while when faced with his wife’s fierce attack.

Kathleen said, “Actually, I want to explain to you that the reason why Chief Lammy disappeared and could not be found was because I entrusted him with a task to help me with an investigation a few days ago. Homer, the scum of the Fox family, had done some things in the past. Since the nature of this matter is too sensitive, I also asked Chief Lammy to have absolutely no contact with the outside world.”

Josie could not help but frown and ask Kathleen, “Hasn’t he already retired early? Why should he still listen to your orders? Why should he be bound and restrained by you just because you didn’t allow him to contact the outside world?!”

Kathleen smiled faintly and said seriously, “Because I am Chief Lammy’s employer.”

With that said, she pulled out a check that she had written a long time ago from her checkbook, passed it to Josie, and said, “Mrs. Lammy, this cheque for ten million US dollars is the commission that I promised to give to Chief Lammy after the matter is completed. Didn’t you just wonder why Chief Lammy listened to me and accepted my orders? This is the reason why. I needed someone who could maintain absolute confidentiality and had enough experience to help me investigate the matter. Chief Lammy knows that his daughter is pregnant and that he would also need substantial income to plan a better future for his unborn grandson or granddaughter.”

“What?!” Josie opened her eyes wide in shock, and she was dumbfounded as she asked, “What did you ask him to do that could be worth as much as ten million US dollars?!”
