The rest of the family cringed internally.
Silas? Just Silas?
Back when it was Zachary, Kenneth had never dared to be so casual. He had always practically groveled, respectfully calling him "Mr. Lowell."
But as the husband of Yvaine's aunt, technically Kenneth was Silas's uncle-in-law too, so using his first name wasn't entirely out of bounds.
Silas looked calmly at Kenneth. "I'm from Docksy," he replied with polite refinement. "I just relocated to Brenok recently."
The room collectively blinked.
From Docksy? Why did Yvaine suddenly marry a guy from Docksy?
They took another look at his striking features and impeccable aura. He definitely didn't look like an ordinary guy.
"What kind of business is your family in?" Kenneth asked, his tone suddenly adopting a hint of caution.
The relatives started connecting the dots in their heads.
Docksy...
The Sheridan family...
Just moved to the mainland...
Wait. Brenok's city officials had recently secured a massive, highly publicized investment deal from the ultra-wealthy Sheridan family of Docksy. Could it be... that Sheridan family?
"We're in business," Silas said smoothly.
Kenneth hesitated before asking the million-dollar question. "Are you part of the Sheridan family from Docksy?"
Silas nodded.
The entire room practically stopped breathing.
He really was. This... changed everything.
