The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

The sudden death of Adrienne caught everyone off guard. Her sixteen-year-old daughter nearly collapsed on the spot from sheer shock. She hugged her mother's body and shook the latter desperately, crying," Mom...? What's wrong...? Don't scare me...!" Jaxson, too, was on the verge of collapse. He wanted to step forward to investigate, but his second brother Kaeden stopped him.

Jaxson looked back at Kaeden with a shocked look. Instantly, he growled," Kaeden, why are you stopping me? Something's happened to Adrienne!"

Kaeden roared with a dark face, "Look at how she died! Do you remember how that assailant's leader committed suicide by taking poison?! "Suicide..." Jaxson was horrified. He blurted out in a tone of shock, "Y-You... Are you saying that Adrienne committed suicide by taking poison?"

Kaeden pointed to the corpse and demanded coldly, "Is there any other possibilities other than suicide?!"

Jarvis immediately rushed forward and picked up Charlie's third aunt. He said to everyone, "Everyone, don't move!"

Then, he turned to his men and instructed, "Keep an eye on them!"

Afterward, he ran out of the room with the body in his arms and headed straight for Charlie's location.

Charlie's brow furrowed when he saw Jarvis carrying a middle-aged woman with no signs of life out of the room.

Dorothy had met Charlie's third aunt before. She did not speak to her, but she was still alive minutes ago. When Jarvis carried her out, the woman was already dead. Dorothy retreated a few steps back and covered her eyes in fright. Charlie was about to ask a question, but it was Jarvis who spoke first.

He said in a tone of great shame, "Mr. Wade, I'm so sorry. Earlier during the search, all of my attention was on everyone's hands. I was afraid d they'd make any strange movements, but I didn't expect this woman to suddenly die fromnoveldrama

poisoning

He continued regretfully, "I don't even know how she took the poison... I looked at everyone's hands, and I made sure her hands didn't move!"

Charlie replied with a grave look, "You don't have to blame yourself, Mr. Yant. It isn't your fault."

Then, he opened the deceased middle-aged woman's mouth. In there, he found a broken denture and a space with missing teeth at the top left of her gums.

Charlie immediately put a trace of Reiki into the woman's body. He quickly discovered that the poison had spread to her whole body through blood circulation, including her brain. It seemed she couldn't not be saved.

Charlie was horrified. From the

missing teeth in her mouth to the broken denture, he could confirm that she wasn't recently bribed. Shockingly enough, it appeared that she was already a member of the enemy organization and had been trained to be a soldier.

Otherwise, why did she not hesitate to bite the denture and commit suicide via poison the moment she was about to be exposed?

The revelation shook Charlie, and he grew worried. The enemy actually managed to infiltrate such a big family like the Ackers. Not only that, but they also manipulated not anyone unimportant, but a direct family member!

All three generations of the Acker family were mostly present, including Keith's three daughters-in-law. In other words, this woman was likely one of his uncle's wives, or his aunt Lulu.

Charlie only remembered seeing his

first aunt and second aunt. However, he had never met his third aunt. He hadn't seen his youngest aunt for many years either, so he couldn't confirm the identity of this already deceased woman.
