Another two days passed.

Daren personally showed up at The Lennox.

The moment he reached the entrance, he saw a crush of people lined up outside the hotel.

Inside, the place was buzzing, packed, and loud; thinking of how the Miller family’s own hotel was practically deserted by comparison, Daren felt a surge of irritation burn through him.

“Why is this place always so crowded?!” Daren fumed, jabbing his cane at the floor in a fit of

temper.

Jake pushed the door open from inside.

Jake Madron?

When Daren saw Jake, the wrinkles on his weathered face twitched ever so slightly.

It was normal that the younger generation didn’t recognize Jake, but back in his own hustling days, Daren had seen men like him on the black market.

Only later had he accidentally learned that Jake was actually the head of an underground syndicate.

And now Jake was working as the owner’s assistant at The Lennox?!

Jake glanced at Daren and said bluntly, “Mr. Miller, we paid for this flooring. If you crack it with that cane, you’re footing the bill.”

Daren’s expression had already been sour; at Jake’s words, his beard practically bristled.

“Why is it so crowded?”

Right then, Cassia walked past behind Daren.

“Because the food here is actually good,” Cassia said coolly.

Chapter 249 Five Times the Market Value

Wait… isn’t that the eldest daughter of the Woods in ario?

Daren stared in surprise at Cassia’s back, remembering how Ryder had once shown him this girl’s photo.

The girl belonged to the Woods in Zrario; strictly speaking, a minor family like the Woods should never have crossed paths with a giant like the Millers–Cassia had only caught their attention because Ryder had attended a business gala in Zrario.

At that gala, all the major power families in Zrano had gathered under one roof.

Thanks to Wood Group’s partnership with Seer Group, the company had not only turned itself around but was now booming, finally earning a ticket into that kind of elite event and a chance to see how the real heavyweights moved.

The head of the Woods, Vance, had even tried to cozy up to his grandson, Ryder, hoping to marry off his eldest daughter to the boy as a secondary wife.

Ryder had been taken with Cassia’s looks and very openly liked the idea, so at a recent family dinner, he’d shown Daren her photo.

When Daren first saw that photo, he was really stunned by how striking she was.

He was pushing 70 and had seen more than his fair share of beauties in all styles, but a face like Cassia’s was rare.

No wonder his grandson was interested–if he were younger, he’d probably want to keep a girl like that for himself, too.

But from what people in Zrario said, the girl’s manners and character were notoriously terrible.

She was pretty, sure. But so what?

Come to think of it, what is she doing here?

Oh, right–he was getting senile. What else would Cassia be doing here if not grabbing dinner?

Still, in person, she was even more breathtaking han in the photo,

What a waste.

Daren watched Cassia with a lecherous squint, his mind involuntarily conjuring up filthy

little scenes.

Cassia turned her head and caught the dirty look on the old man’s face.

She frowned, then said, “You’re here to buy out The Lennox, right? I suggest you drop that idea–because The Lennox is planning to buy out the Millers‘ hotel instead.”

At that, Daren’s cloudy eyes flew wide and round his leer disappearing in an instant.

It took him a long moment to grind his thoughts into gear.

His first reaction was that the girl was every bit as shameless and ungrateful as the rumors. claimed.

“Who do you think you are? You think The Lennox can just buy our hotel because you say so?”

“That’s right. We do intend to acquire the Miller hotel,” Jake said as he and Nicole walked over to stand beside Cassia.

Daren’s jaw dropped enough to swallow an egg, so wide his chin nearly fell off.

His grandson had only mentioned that Jake was the owner’s assistant at The Lennox–but the woman beside him was Nicole, the CEO of the international Seer Group.

So, Nicole was the owner behind The Lennox?

Jake and Nicole!

No wonder–no wonder his son and grandson had thrown everything they had at The Lennox and still hadn’t made it budge.

Still, he wasn’t about to back down.

“Hmph! You think you can acquire a Miller asset You’re just the owner of some little boutique hotel–who gave you the-”

That tirade was aimed at Nicole, but before she ould say a word, the girl standing between her and Jake cut in.

“Five times the market price,” Cassia said.

“That’s right. We’re offering five times the marke value to acquire the Millers‘ hotel,” Jake

echoed her.

Daren’s watery eyes flicked back and forth between Cassia, Nicole, and Jake.

He refused to believe Cassia was the owner of The Lennox.

Just thinking about it, it was impossible–how old could she even be? He’d been nearly 40 before he’d carved out his own success.

Cassia, running a hotel at 18–and running it this well? Completely absurd.

“That has nothing to do with you. We’re offering five times the going rate–are you selling or not?” Cassia asked, voice flat.

Under any other circumstances, with a price five times above market, Daren wouldn’t even have needed to think–he would’ve said yes on the spot.
