Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2733

"It sounds like Sylvester is sure that Silas has gone abroad. If Silas really were still in Hatton, then he really distrusts Sylvester too much." Theo chuckled, as if sarcastically.

"Yes. Who would’ve thought that the grandson was dissatisfied with his grandfather while at the same time, the grandfather distrusts his grandson,” I chimed in.

They had lived together for more than twenty years after all but still, there did not seem to be a shred of family affection between them.

I shook my head helplessly, a taste of bitterness in my heart. If my mother were still around she would probably be unhappy.

"By the way, Sylvester is sorting out the Yard Group’s files from the past twenty years. Is there any point to this?”

My mind had been locked on this, I wanted to know the answer.

"Historical archives?" Theo touched his chin with a thoughtful look.

I looked at him, my gaze serious. "Yes, you’re the clearest about these things. What do you say is the point of sorting these out?"

"On the one hand, he might want to learn about projects. On the other hand, he might want to destroy them,” Theo said.

Destroy them?

I did not understand this. "Why would he want to destroy Silas’s files when he was in charge?”

"I’m not sure what Sylvester's purpose is but it stands to reason that these files must have been kept for easy reference." Theo also looked confused.

Leaning on the edge of the table with my chin propped, I contemplated. "It would be too much of an exaggeration for him to destroy all the files from the past twenty years. Could he just want to eliminate a part of them?”

Theo agreed with what I said. “It’s also possible.”

What a headache.

I waved my hand. "Forget it, this has nothing to do with us so let’s not think about it. Let’s focus on Silas now. We need to confirm if Silas has gone abroad and where Gareth is now. If we can find him, I wouldn’t need to sneak into Yard Mansion either.”

"Yes. I’ve already assigned people to that but we probably won’t hear anything too soon.”
