The moment Reina heard that voice, she stiffened.
When she turned her head to the side, she saw a plump middle-aged man in his fifties with a homicidal look on his face.
“Mr. Arnaldo, what brings you here?” Silas asked, straightening up.
The man was none other than Arnaldo Wilson of Terrandya.
There were three powerhouses in Terrandya—Silas Doyle, Arnaldo Wilson, and Holton Danvers.
Reina looked at Arnaldo in disbelief, for that man was her biological father.
Her mother had passed away early on, and as far as Reina remembered, Arnaldo was a douchebag who always stayed away from home. He had never once bothered caring for his wife and daughter.
The worst impression she had of him was formed when Reina had just started her business. Arnaldo had come to her office and transferred a million away from her bank account. Reina had been devastated.
However, she never thought that Arnaldo was powerful enough to speak directly to Silas.
Why would someone powerful like him stab me in the back and take a million away from me?
“What's the matter? Are you in charge now that your father-in-law is dead?” Silas mocked.
He looked down on Arnaldo as the latter had not risen up the social ranks with his own hard work—he had relied on his wife and father-in-law. Once his father-in-law retired, he had relinquished his position to Arnaldo.
“Do you know who she is?” Arnaldo pointed at Reina.
Silas froze. He then smiled and shook his head. “What's wrong? Are you interested in her as well?”
“She's my daughter,” Arnaldo said.
Silas froze again before he burst out laughing. “This is hilarious! I never thought that the rumors were real. They all said that you abandoned your wife and child and married into the Zastrow family. Does your fierce wife know about this? Does your son, Ludwik Zastrow, know about this?”
Arnaldo smiled. “You can get the hell out of here now.”
Silas shook his head and smiled as well. “Very well. I wish you the best. I'll convey this information to the Zastrow family.”
With that said, Silas gave Arnaldo a look before leaving the office.
