Chapter 4314
At this point, Merlin did not care about Homer's kidnapping anymore.
After the big scandal had broken out, in addition to triggering the American public's anger toward the Fox family, it would also trigger the American public's disappointment toward the entire law enforcement system in the United States. After all, so many innocent girls had died unnaturally, and the police had not managed to solve the case. Instead, it was the kidnapper who had been hated by everyone before who had finally brought this matter to light.
In an instant, the kidnapper had become a hero who was applauded by the world, and Homer, whom everyone had felt incomparable sympathy for prior to this, suddenly became the object of scorn and ridicule all over the world. Aside from the Fox family, the New York Police Department also suffered, and its reputation also plummeted gradually.
Therefore, Merlin had to analyze the current situation with his leaders and colleagues in order to find a way to protect and regain the New York Police Department's reputation even if only by a little bit.
Merlin was distraught in the car on the way back to the police station, and he thought of how so many clues were always unclear and so, he decided to call his old friend, Christian.
For Merlin, Christian was not only his close buddy for many years, but he was also his mentor and friend.
He was hot-tempered while Christian had a relatively mild temper and so, the both of them not only got along well, but they could also aid in each other's mutual development and thinking.
During their previous conversation, the both of them had speculated that someone was going to publicly execute the Fox family and now, it had become reality. So, Merlin also wanted to talk to Christian about the sudden change before him to see if Christian would have any different ideas.
However, he also felt that it was already very late, and it would be a little reckless of him to call Christian now. Furthermore, Merlin did not know whether Lord Acker had managed to pull through and so, it would not really be appropriate for him to call Christian just then. Therefore, Merlin put down the phone again.
It was just that he didn't know that at this time, the Acker family were all chatting fervently as they surrounded Quinn.
Lady Acker held onto Quinn's hand, and she did not let go of her all night. Charlie's youngest aunt as well as several other of his aunts surrounded Quinn, and no matter how they looked at her, all of them really liked her.
Quinn was also a little flattered. She was surrounded by so many people, and she received a lot of warmth from them.
Moreover, in her confusion, she also received a lot of gifts that were all worth a fortune.
She knew very well that the reason why the Acker family attached so much importance to her was, on one hand, because she had saved Lord Acker's life with the Healing Pill that Charlie had given to her, and on the other hand, it was because she was Charlie's fiancee. The Acker family missed Charlie very much and so, they loved her and treated her with
utmost warmth and sincerity.
This made her feel extremely happy. In her opinion, the Acker family would be her own solid backing in the future. Once the three-year agreement arrived and if Charlie dared to renege, the Acker family would definitely not agree to it.
However, when Quinn saw that it
was already late at night, she grew a little worried about Lady Acker's health. Furthermore, she also had to make the final preparations for her performance the next morning. So, she really couldn't continue to spend so much time here and so, she said, "Grandma, it's already really late. You must be very tired too. Why don't you go back to your room to rest earlier?
It's rather late, and I don't want to continue disturbing you..."
Lady Acker hurriedly said, "It's okay! I am not tired at all. Over the years, the biggest worry that I have had is the fact that I could not find my grandson. I was afraid that I would never have the opportunity to see him again in this life, but half of my worry is gone now that you have come over here today. I'm more than happy to see you..." novelbin
Quinn nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry, Grandma. I will definitely come over to see you and Grandpa more often if I have time!"
right now and take a nap on the way back.
As she said that, she continued embarrassedly, "Grandma, it's really late now, and I have to do a final rehearsal for my performance early in the morning tomorrow. I have to fly back to New York
It will be almost dawn when I arrive."
