The Heiress's Return: From Zen to Zenith

Chapter 823: After 411 action_2

Silvia Hayes went to the pantry, taking over the housemaid’s task, “I’ll do it, you go down.”

The maid looked at her, obediently withdrew.

Silvia skillfully prepared the tea and brought it out, personally delivering it to Linden Sky.

Guele Rinto watched this scene with increasing frustration.

Everyone was watching Linden Sky’s expression, waiting to see his next move.

The young man sniffed the scent of the tea, raised an eyebrow: “Sencha Tea, Master Iver’s favorite tea.”

“Yes, it’s Grandpa’s favorite tea. We’ve purchased an entire mountain for the best Sencha Tea. Only our family, the Rintos, have this.” Silvia’s face showed a trace of smugness.

The young man picked up the teacup, sniffed it at the tip of his nose, and before everyone, he poured the cup of tea onto the ground.

“What a pity, it’s a bit under brewed.”

Silvia’s face was immediately pulled down, she quickly concealed her emotion, “The help is clumsy, can’t even brew a cup of tea properly.”

The maid in the corner pouted in grievance.

Gonzales Rinto, encouraged by a glance from Guele Rinto, forced himself to speak: “Linden Sky…”

Just as he uttered this name, the young man glanced at him lightly. Gonzales hastened to amend his address out of fear: “Master…”

He was genuinely afraid that the other party would break his arm.

“I am not the master.” The young man said indifferently, absently playing with the ivory.

“Yes yes, you are not the master.” Gonzales wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: “With Master McKay currently incarcerated and Master Wood also being taken away for investigation, we the Rintos are hoping that you, young Master Linden, could guide us through these trying times.”

“Wait.” @@novelbin@@

“Wait?” What type of solution is that?

“Observe quietly, plan carefully, and then act.” The young man cast a glance at Guele Rinto, causing a chill to run down her spine.

“If we keep waiting, even the dishes would be cold.” Gonzales couldn’t help but retort.

“The only evidence is the testimony of Hans Parker. However, the death of Ms. Aubree and the attack last night are not directly related. On this ground alone, it can’t implicate Master McKay. We can only start from other aspects.”

This was spoken by Desta Rinto, his tone was very calm, unlike the Desta Gonzales knew, so Gonzales couldn’t resist stealing a few more glances.

Linden Sky raised an eyebrow at him: “Go on.”

Desta looked somewhat embarrassed and tightly clasped his hands together: “This matter is nothing more than a fuse set to target Master McKay. Once it sets off, all of the Rintos, including you and me, cannot escape it. This is the calculation of the person behind this, starting with Master McKay, killing the chicken to scare the monkey, and then Master Wood, Pandawa Rinto, and Jayden Moore, step by step from the inside out. I think both Lady Guele and Mr. Gonzales will be next.”

Guele was startled. She had never thought it through this thoroughly. Upon hearing Desta’s analysis, she felt a sense of crisis approaching.

“Now we shouldn’t fight amongst ourselves, but stand united and overcome difficulties. I believe young Master Linden is here to protect the Rintos, and is not here to kick us when we’re down, right?” Desta asked the crucial question in a sentence.

Everyone turned their attention to Linden Sky.

The young man lounged lazily on the sofa, casually crossing his long legs, exuding an indescribable style and elegance that was captivating.

“That’s a good analysis. Just so happens one mouse poop ruined a whole pot of soup, though this soup was never good to begin with, at least it’s edible.”

Guele, who felt the attack was targeted at her, instantly turned pale. Okay, so they dared to mock her, implying that she was the mouse poop.

At this moment, the living room phone suddenly rang urgently, breaking the silence of the living room.

Butler Rinto walked over to answer the phone.

Who knew what the person on the phone said, but Butler Rinto’s face immediately sank.

After hanging up the phone, he turned around and said in a deep voice: “Starlyn Aria was just seized.”

“What?” Guele was the first to stand up.

Starlyn Aria was the biggest backing of the Rinto family. To win this gambling card back then, Pindo Rinto did not spare any effort. If the card was recouped by the official, the Rinto family was headed for a rapid decline.

When it rains, it pours.

Guele Rinto asked in a deep voice, “How long does the gambling license have left?”

Guele Rinto had long coveted Starlyn Aria. However, as the core industry of the Rinto family, it had always been firmly controlled by the head of the family. Guele Rinto had tried to interfere with Starlyn Aria several times, but was gently rejected by Agave Rinto.

Desta Rinto, working under Agave Rinto in Divine Art Hall, had handled most of the affairs of Starlyn Aria. He replied: “The term is fifteen years. The term ends in October of next year. At that time, the official will recoup the gambling card and re-auction it.”

This gambling license of the Rinto family was coveted by countless people around the world. When it comes to re-auctioning, after the Rinto family has suffered a heavy loss, it is feared that they do not have the confidence to compete with several of the world’s large financial tycoons.
