Chapter 826: 412_2 Removing the Firewood
Butler Rinto replied, “A sailor who has been missing for many days was found dead in the cabin today. The police have sealed off the cargo ship. If the cargo cannot set sail tomorrow as scheduled, a heavy penalty for breach of contract must be paid. The loss to the company would be disastrous.”
A life lost is a severe issue that is difficult to settle.
Silvia Hayes looked at Linden Sky, “What should we do now?”
Linden Sky took a sip of tea, seemingly untroubled.
The phone rang again at that moment. Everyone tensed, fearing more bad news.
Butler Rinto glanced at Linden Sky before going to answer the phone.
The call turned out to be from the gatekeeper, a man named Yapiter wanted to see the current manager of the Rinto’s household.
Butler Rinto moved the phone aside, turned around and told Linden Sky, “Yapiter is Master Woods’ assistant.”
Linden Sky nodded, “Bring him in.”
Two minutes later, Yapiter entered the hall. Butler Rinto introduced him to Linden Sky.

“He is, for now, the acting head of the Rinto household.”
Yapiter kept his gaze steady, bowing respectfully: “Master Wood had already expected this disaster. He said it’s better to take the bull by the horns rather than suffer passively.”
He handed over a sealed file.
Butler Rinto took it and gave it to Linden Sky.
Linden Sky opened it and rapidly skimmed through it. He did not hide it from Silvia Hayes; she could see what was inside. At first, it was bewildering – there were photos and some documents. But after she finished reading it, she snapped back to reality, her heart chilling.
She remembered Yapiter’s words from earlier about Ricky Wood anticipating this disaster. His strategy to take the bull by the horns was ruthless and brutal.
Silvia’s mother who once thought of competing with them, probably wouldn’t even know when she was played.
As it turns out, it was not that her cousin was indifferent, but rather, he just couldn’t care less.
After Linden Sky finished looking through the documents, he closed it, “Gonzales Rinto.”
Gonzales Rinto, upon hearing his name, stood up obediently, his heart trembling a tad.
“You have connections with many unsavory characters. You should handle this. Do a good job, and your previous debts will be forgiven.”
Gonzales Rinto thought, ‘What debts do I have?’ But after meeting the opposite party’s gaze, he felt a chill and immediately bowed his head.
Silvia Hayes spoke up, “He doesn’t know how to behave. I will go with him.”
Linden Sky glanced at her, and Silvia glanced back determinedly, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
Linden Sky nodded, “Go.”
Silvia Hayes took the file, turned around and quickly left.
Gonzales Rinto jogged up to follow her. As they exited the hall and breathed in the cold fresh air, Gonzales Rinto finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Silvía, what are we going to do?”
Silvia Hayes glanced at him, “Do what you’re best at.”
Gonzales Rinto smirked, “Is it sleeping…?” his face filled with suggestion.
“Slap” Silvia Hayes slapped him, “You filthy creature! Dare to be presumptuous in front of me; do you not value your life?”
Gonzales Rinto held his face, suppressing his frustration, “Silvía, I chose my words poorly, don’t take it to heart.”
Silvia Hayes waved her hand dismissively, “Your mouth will be your ruin one day.”
She tossed him a photo, “Do you recognize him?”
Gonzales Rinto took a closer look, “Is this not Liliana Haskel?”
He was an infamous playboy in Pethkids, exploiting his brother-in-law’s power for his own benefit. Although he messed up male and female relationships, he was still quite loyal.
Gonzales Rinto, who used to always mix in such circles, had indeed asked the right person.
“Do you know who his brother-in-law is?”
Gonzales Rinto scratched his head, “To be honest, I don’t know. He seems to be from Lostswa. He must come from an influential background. Last time, he almost crippled Wen clan’s young son without any consequence. Since then, no one has dared to mess with him.”
Silvia Hayes tossed him another photo.
In the photo, there is a dignified, square-faced man wearing formal attire, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
The more Gonzales Rinto looked at it, the more familiar it looked, “Allen…Allen something?”
Gonzales Rinto took out his phone and opened the search page, “Allen Lewis, that’s him! I absolutely remember him now.”
As realization dawned on him, Gonzales Rinto said in disbelief: “Could it be that he is Liliana Haskel’s brother-in-law? No wonder that brat is so arrogant.”
Silvia Hayes got into the car, and just as Gonzales Rinto was about to get in, she gave him a cold look.
Gonzales Rinto touched his nose and obediently made his way to the passenger seat.
Silvia Hayes stated the plan, which gave Gonzales Rinto quite the scare: “This…this won’t work. Allen Lewis could easily crush us. Isn’t this like plucking the whiskers off a tiger?”
Silvia Hayes raised her chin confidently, “He wouldn’t dare.”
Either Ricky Wood was truly a genius wasted on the business world, or he had installed surveillance inside people’s houses. The level of this intelligence was simply terrifying.
