The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

The private jet that was modified from a Boeing 748 took off from JFK Airport at 9:00 PM local time in New York and headed to Aurous Hill, Oskia, which was ten thousand kilometers away.

After a twelve-hour flight, the Ackers' plane landed smoothly at Aurous Airport at 9:00 PM local time.

The staff who had arrived in Aurous Hill in advance arranged a convoy to pick the elderly couple, Christian, Merlin, and the others back to Willow Manor.

It was already late at night when the convoy arrived at Willow Manor. Willow Manor was particularly peaceful and comfortable, and the Ackers' butler took the four of them directly to the villa in the center.

The four of them were somewhat exhausted after travelling for more than ten hours. Therefore, they went back to their rooms to rest after the rooms were assigned.

The villas in Willow Manor were very large in size with three levels above ground and a basement with a usable area of at least eight to nine hundred square meters. As the area was large enough, each room was designed to have its own independent bathroom. The elderly couple took the largest room on the third floor, Christian took the room next to theirs, and Merlin temporarily occupied the room across from Christian.noveldrama

After returning to the room, Merlin did not rest immediately. Instead, he sent a text message to Charlie first to inform him that he had arrived at Willow Manor.

Charlie was lying next to Claire while waiting for Merlin's report. Claire had already fallen asleep next to Charlie, and he suddenly felt very emotional when he received the news from Merlin.

His grandparents' arrival was not what really touched him. What caused him to feel extremely emotional for a long time was that his grandparents' arrival inevitably caused him to think back to the year and day when his parents were killed.

All Charlie could think of from the moment his grandparents' plane took off was the moments when the incident happened back then.

Charlie was still attending classes at school when his parents met with the accident. It was already mid-to-late June, and the summer vacation was about to begin. The weather in Aurous Hill that day was extremely sultry, and dark clouds lingered in the sky for most of the day, which caused people to feel particularly depressed and uncomfortable. There was then a sudden thunderstorm in the afternoon, which was followed by a heavy downpour.

The rain came so violently that it took only ten minutes for the entire school playground to be completely covered with rainwater. Charlie still remembered that many children in the class were shivering out of fear because of the fierce sound of the thunder and rain.

At that moment, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open. Stephen, who was already soaked from top to bottom because of the rain, rushed into the classroom regardless of the teacher's obstruction. He picked Charlie up from his seat and rushed out of the classroom.

Charlie still remembered that there were more than a dozen middle-aged men dressed in black in the rain. Their faces were wet from the rain, and their clothes clung to their bodies because they were soaked in the rain, making all of them look particularly embarrassed.

What surprised Charlie even more was that each of them were holding a boy who was similar to his age, build, and were even dressed in the same clothing as him. Stephen then gave the order, and the dozen men and children quickly dispersed in all directions. Stephen hugged Charlie and ran out fast in the rain.

Charlie was then sent to the orphanage where he grew up. Before Stephen left, he told Charlie the news that his parents had been killed, and he told Charlie never to reveal his true identity to anyone in this life.

Stephen disappeared from the orphanage before Charlie, who was confused, had time to feel sad. Charlie lived in the orphanage as an orphan for ten years from that day on.

He lived a life that was completely isolated from the outside world in the first few years.

They received their primary education in the orphanage at the time, and the orphanage never organized any outings, visits, or performances for them. These children stayed in the orphanage every day. Aside from studying, they would also help the maids in the orphanage with some housework and maintain the vegetable plots in the orphanage.

Charlie always thought that this might be because the orphanage lacked funds, so it was already difficult to ensure that they could receive education and have enough to eat.

It was not until he reunited with Quinn that he asked Stephen about the truth and found out that Stephen was the one who made these arrangements long ago. The reason why the orphanage was isolated was just to protect and ensure his safety.

It was these years of isolation that helped him avoid everyone who was looking for him.

Whether it was Charlie's relatives, friends of his parents, or even enemies who wanted Charlie's life, all set their targets out of Aurous Hill after several years of fruitless searches.
