Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0068

I called Silas. After a few rings, he picked up. His voice was hoarse and muffled like he had been up all night and had just fallen asleep.

I realized I might be disturbing his rest, so after thanking him I prepared to hang up. However, he gave me a hint before I could.

"I found out Marcelo has a wife and a daughter. They divorced three months ago because of his poverty, but he still lingers around the areas where they might appear. It shows he still worries about them. You might find a breakthrough with them." He spoke ambiguously, and I could sense he was carefully tending to my pride.

There was no such thing as a free lunch. Silas' care for me made me feel uneasy, despite Pete's presence. After what happened with Nicholas, I always approached people with caution. "Mr. Harmon, can you tell me why you're helping me so much?"

Nicholas had to have some tricks up his sleeve. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the CEO of Hawk Corporation at a young age. I was afraid he would target Silas because of me.

Silas wasn't born into a wealthy family like Pete. Despite his current status and reputation, Silas had started from scratch.

In the end, I couldn't help but ask the question that had been on my mind. Silas was sensitive and skilled at reading people.

Hoarsely, he said, "My mentor mentioned a remarkable young woman named Ariana in the department years ago. He always said he would introduce her to me, thinking she could help me expand my law firm.

"But then, he said she married someone and left the profession. That's why I started this law firm with someone else."
