New York JFK Airport.
Two private jets took off twenty minutes apart.
Charlie's uncle Christian was on the first plane that took off first. Quinn, who had a Healing Pill with her, was on the plane that took off later.
Christian was also in a state of confusion at this time.
He felt extremely nervous and distressed for his father. He had never thought about waiting for his father's death, just so that they could divide the Acker family's property.
He also knew very well that his father was the core of the Acker family. The Acker family would be severely damaged if the man died at this time.
Therefore, he really didn't want his father to suffer such hardships.
Compared to other families, the Acker family was relatively united. There was little to almost no conflict between the siblings.
The main reason the Acker family could be so united was because of Ashley's unexpected death.
Ashley's death didn't only cause the Acker family to be in great sadness, but the Acker family had been blaming themselves for many years.
Everyone knew that if the Acker family supported Ashley's choice and her decision in marrying into the Wade family, then Ashley wouldn't have taken Charlie with her and gone to Aurous Hill together with Curtis after Curtis had a fall out with the Wade family.
Going to Aurous Hill was a choice that the family of three didn't have.
If the Acker family had given Ashley a strong support at that time, Ashley and her husband would've taken Charlie back from Eastcliff to her natal home and settle down there at first opportunity.
If that was the case, the tragedy later might not have happened.
