“But we have no leads at all.” Silas looked at him helplessly.

At this, Shane lowered his eyes and then plunged into deep thought as he deliberated where his grandfather could have kept the will.

However, after racking his brains for a long while, he was still left with no inkling.

“Have some tea.” At this time, Natalie came out of the kitchen with tea.

Jolting out of his thoughts, Shane lifted his eyes and ordered, “Go back first. I’ll try my best to think of a lead.”

“Okay.” Silas nodded.

“It’s okay, Ms. Smith. I’ve still got something to do, so I’ll get on with it first instead of intruding on you and Mr. Shane.” After saying that, Silas flashed her a meaningful smile before he spun around and left.

“Of course. In that case, are you…”
