Ryder was so furious that he felt like he might spit blood.

Finally, the usually quiet Daren spoke up. “The Lennox in Zrario is a key asset. We have to secure it.”

Why did they need a hotel in a small town? Wyatt and his sons were confused. To them, it barely mattered.

“Lots of local powers in Zrario are watching it,” Daren said flatly. “If we don’t act, someone else will.”

That explained it.

The Lennox was growing fast, and everyone wanted a piece. Rather than letting another family benefit, it was better to swallow it themselves.

Before assigning his grandson to pursue the acquisition, Daren had already conducted a private investigation. He discovered that The Lennox was far more complicated than it appeared.

It had to be crushed before it fully matured.

That was one reason. Another reason was simple–acquiring The Lennox would disgrace Grey Group.

Everyone coveted The Lennox. Grey Group’s hotel was right next door. They wouldn’t ignore such a money–making chance.

Yet Grey Group made no move. That meant they’d failed as well.

If the Millers pulled it off where Grey Group couldn’t, their spot on the world stage would finally be solid.

The Millers had just entered the global top ten days ago, and Grey Group was already keeping an eye on them–especially that mysterious Grey heir.

Draven’s grandfather and father had been retired for years. Grey Group had been held up by Draven alone. Not only had he preserved everything his predecessors built, but he had also expanded it far beyond its original reach.

Meanwhile, the Millers needed Daren, his son, and two grandsons just to barely keep up.

The difference in capability was obvious.

If Grey Group grabbed The Lennox, the Millers would fall behind once again.

“Grandpa, you’re right.” Colt didn’t think as far ahead as Daren. If Daren and Wyatt agreed, he just went along.

“You’re right” was Colt’s favorite phrase, and it always pleased Daren.

Seeing his grandfather pleased, Colt added, “It’s prime property. As long as the price fits our budget, we can just buy it.”

Ryder snorted inwardly. Yeah, easy to say.

“I’ll handle this,” Colt said confidently.

He wasn’t bluffing. He could authorize way more money than Ryder had.

Money made everything possible. Colt was sure that if he offered a big enough amount, the owner of The Lennox would give in.

“Good. I’ll leave it to you,” Daren said, clearly satisfied.

Seeing Daren pleased, Wyatt relaxed and gestured for everyone to gather around the table.

“Alright, let’s eat. The food is getting cold.”

“That’s right. Eating comes first. Everything else can wait.”

“Grandpa is right.”

Only after Daren gave his approval did everyone finally start eating.

The next morning, at Wood Manor in Zrario.

After being harshly scolded by Vance, both Brie and Danica had locked themselves in their rooms all day yesterday.

Today was no different.

Walking past their doors, Geneva felt a twinge of sympathy.

“Vance went way overboard…”

Victoria glanced at both doors. “It’s their first time getting scolded like that, so they can’t handle it. Take them out later. Kids forget things easily once they’re having fun.”

“Alright. I’ll ask Cassia to come along.”

At the mention of Cassia, Victoria’s expression tightened a bit, her shoulders twitching slightly.

“Whatever.”
