Just imagining it made Daren furious. Every day when he came home, he would see a long line outside the Lennox, so long it would block the entrance to his hotel.

The thought alone was more than he could stand. If that really happened, he would probably be so angry he would lose half his life over it.

After thinking it over again and again and struggling for a long time, Daren had no choice but to sell his hotel in Zrario to the Lennox.

He had planned to buy them out. Instead, he was the one who got bought out.

Ryder came back to the villa carrying a bag of fruit.

“Is Grandpa feeling any better?” he asked.

The maid shook her head. “Mr. Daren is still in bed. He refuses to eat.”

“I’ll go check on him,” Ryder said, heading upstairs to Daren’s room.

“Grandpa, are you still angry?” Ryder asked as he sat down beside the bed.

“Sigh!” Daren sighed and slowly sat up. “I’ve lived this long, and this is the most humiliating thing that’s ever happened to me!”

“Don’t worry about it, Grandpa,” Ryder said quickly. “Once Cassia marries into our family, I’ll have her talk to Nicole and Jake. I’ll ask them to return to the hotel.” With Miller Hotel gone, Ryder had lost all his leverage too. He was hurting just as much.

“Sigh,” Daren frowned and sighed again. “That’s the only way left. But that girl has vanished into thin air. We’ve used all the power and connection, but we still can’t find her.”

“Just because we can’t find her now doesn’t mean we never will,” Ryder said coldly. “Cassia can’t hide forever!”

Before he could finish speaking–Bang!

The door was kicked open.

The loud noise made both Daren and Ryder jump in shock.

“What is going on?!” Ryder shouted. “Don’t you know Grandpa is sick? You want to lose your job?”

He thought it was an ignorant servant. Angry, he stormed toward the door, ready to explode.

But the moment he saw who was standing there all the anger drained from his face.

“M–M–Mr. Grey?!”

Daren, lying on the bed, broke out in sweat when he saw the man with the icy expression.

The heir of Grey Group–Draven.

Why would he barge into his villa without any notice?

Draven walked in with his hands in his pockets.

The room went so quiet you could hear a pin drop. No one dared to make a noise as they watched him step inside.

As expected of the heir of Grey Group, his presence was overwhelming. The pressure he gave off felt natural and terrifying, like a demon from hell.

For the first time, Daren and Ryder felt a suffocating fear, as if they were standing on the edge of death.

Wait! They hadn’t offended him, had they?

Then why was Draven so angry? No–this wasn’t just anger. It was rage.

“What brings you here, Mr. Grey?” Ryder asked, forcing a smile as he walked toward him.

Draven stopped beside the bed and looked down at Daren.

“You want to make a move on Cassia?”

Cassia?

What did it matter to Draven if they wanted Cassia to marry into their family?

Daren was completely shaken by Draven’s presence,

After living so many years, being scared by someone from the younger generation felt humiliating beyond words.

“Mr. Grey, how is that possible?” Ryder said with smile. “Cassia will be my wife one day. A rare beauty like her–how could I ever hurt her? I’d cherish her.”

When Draven heard them call her Cassia in such a casual tone, his eyes slowly narrowed.

Daren and Ryder both felt it at once. Danger.

“Listen carefully,” Draven said, his voice cold and firm. “She is mine. If you dare to lay a finger on her, you are challenging me.”

Cassia belonged to him? Wasn’t Cassia a Wood?

Daren and Ryder froze, either stunned by Draven’s presence or too shocked to think clearly.

Draven continued, every word sharp and powerful.

“She’s going to marry me one day and become the mistress of the Grey Group.”

What?

Mistress of the Grey Group!

“Mr. Grey,” Ryder said nervously, “you must be joking, right?”

No matter how beautiful Cassia was, how could she possibly catch the eye of Draven? And wasn’t Draven rumored to have no interest in women at all?

“Don’t believe me?”

Draven gave a cold laugh.

He had planned to give them one last chance.

Good. They had played their final card.
