He didn’t really mind if that author responded or not, but he couldn’t help wondering. Had Lightless Planet sent her a message?

If he had, did she reply to him?

Was the author ignoring everyone? Or just him?

There was no way to know. After a while, he didn’t bother overthinking it.

Cassia had been lying on her bed with her eyes closed for a while when her phone buzzed again.

She thought Sterling had finished his shower. But when she picked up the phone, she saw a line of encrypted gibberish from Jake.

“Boss! You’re finally on vacation! I can finally join you again!”

Jake only contacted her when something important came up.

A little work didn’t matter. Lately, her life had been nothing but a straight line between school and home.

She was free now.

Cassia’s fingers flew as she typed a coded reply that only her trained team could read. “What is it? Get to the point.”

“Nothing slips past you!” Jake replied instantly, then quickly followed up.

“Someone wants to buy The Lennox.”

The moment his message went through, Cassia replied, “Do you need to report this? You and Nicole can handle it.”

Jake had expected that answer. Everything she said carried weight.

But the buyer wasn’t ordinary.

“Boss, it’s the Millers.”

Cassia raised an eyebrow.

The Millers, based in Vrastin, were a global powerhouse on the same level as the Grey Group. Their businesses stretched all over the world, covering almost every industry–food, real estate, movies, and more. It felt like they had their hands in everything.

They controlled huge parts of the market. She could even see traces of them in buying something as simple as a toothbrush.

In business circles, people didn’t just talk about the Grey Group’s deep pockets. The Millers had their own scary reputation.

There was a story about a famous veteran actor who refused to sign with them and ended up completely blacklisted.

Overnight, he disappeared. Every movie, show, and variety program he was in got pulled, and there was no news about him anywhere.

Fans slowly left, and it was like he vanished from the world, with no chance of a comeback.

That alone showed how cold and ruthless the Millers could be.

Once they targeted someone, the result was always the same–total takeover.

In short, they were extremely difficult to deal with.

Most people couldn’t handle them at all.

Cassia suddenly remembered that The Lennox and Atelier Zrario were close to a hotel owned by the Millers.

She also understood why they wanted The Lennox.

It was simple. Their hotel in Zrario had been open for over ten years, and business had never been great.

After The Lennox and Atelier Zrario opened on the next street, things got even worse for them.

She’d heard that at a high–level business dinner she attended under another identity. The person managing the Millers‘ hotel in Zrario admitted they were barely breaking even. The only way to fix things was to buy a hotel that was always full.

They probably didn’t dare mess with the Grey Group, so they chose The Lennox instead—a rival with “no background.”

“When’s the negotiation?” Cassia asked.

“Tomorrow afternoon.” The other side clearly picked a time meant to catch them off guard.

There wasn’t much time. Jake had no choice but to tell her.
