The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Everyone was stunned by Keith's sudden anger, and looked at each other in dismay.

They knew Keith could never get over it. He couldn't understand why Curtis insisted on returning to Eastcliff. The Acker family was powerful enough to keep him and were sincere towards him, yet Curtis staunchly refused to stay. Even so, everyone knew how egoistical Keith could get. When dealing with Curtis, he was always arrogant and unyielding.

He was akin to a superior eager to poach a good talent. He was willing to pay ten million or more for a talent who could only make one million in another company.

In his view, the other party had no reason to reject him.

He never imagined that Curtis would be unwilling to accept his offer and ended up rejecting him. The thought frustrated and infuriated Keith to no end.

Initially, Keith admired Curtis very much. Curtis's family might be less significant than the Acker family, but Curtis had potential in him. He could be better than Keith's three sons combined. Keith recognized Curtis's ability, and so he really wanted Curtis to join the Acker family.

Keith knew that his eldest daughter was the most outstanding among his children. Curtis was on par with his daughter and complimented her, so the two were a match made in heaven.

If both of them stayed in the Acker family, they could lead the family to a brighter future. They might even surpass the Saudi Royal family and Rothschild family over time, and stand on top of the world.

Unfortunately, Curtis was stubborn and refused Keith's proposal. He had his pride and ambition.

He refused to stay in the Acker family and enjoy a life of luxury and convenience. He hoped to return to his homeland to develop on his own. Whether his family might stay insignificant or grow stronger, it didn't matter to him. He preferred to grow in his country, where he was born in..

One insisted on keeping him, but the other insisted on leaving. For a long time, this infuriated Keith.

Alas, his daughter was determined to leave with Curtis, which further roused his fury. It was simply unacceptable!noveldrama

He wanted to keep Curtis and Ashley

to have the best of both worlds. As a result, things went in a completely different direction and beyond his expectations. How could he ever accept it?

Thus, Keith had never been kind to Curtis. Since then, their relationship turned sour and they treated one another like enemies. Ashley and Curtis married in Eastcliff.

Whenever Keith heard someone mention Curtis's name, his temper would explode. This continued for the rest of his life.

Seeing that Keith was getting worked up again, Holly quickly comforted him. "Okay, Keith. Curtis has been gone for many years. You shouldn't say these things anymore."

Keith frowned angrily and barked,

"He's the one who ignored my kindness and dragged Ashley into trouble! My daughter died because of him. Can't I rebuke him?" Holly tried to reassure him once more." Ashley chose the path herself. Her decision has nothing to do with anyone else."

Keith wasn't about to be dissuaded. "That's a stupid logic! You're just deceiving yourself! Ashley may have chosen the path, but Curtis should've protected her properly. He's her husband! He should think of her and take care of her! Ashley died because of him. Isn't he responsible for that?"

Holly's eyes went red. With an aching heart, she said, "But Curtis is dead too! How do you know he didn't protect Ashley?

Things were beyond his ability, and he was forced to pay with his life. What else can he do?"

Keith became emotional, his tone bitter. "I know he's dead, but can't I hate him?" Then, Keith looked around and turned to his children and questioned, "Tell me.

Curtis may be dead, but can't I hate him?!'

Keith's children exchanged dismayed glances, at loss for words.
