“Tonight, my dad is hosting a barbecue at our villa and inviting the whole town,” Rosalie suggested. “You guys should all come over and join us!”

“Sure!”

The real reason Richard was hosting the gathering was to lure Nathan out.

Cassia would need to be there to help with that plan.

“Sounds great!”

“I’m in!”

They decided to wait until Cassia finished her IV drip before heading to the Scott Villa together.

Meartwhile, in Zrario, at Wood Group.

Inside the office, Aspen packed up his things, tucked his briefcase under his arm, and left the company, heading straight for the Lennox Hotel.

Now that he had finally finished dealing with company matters, he needed to personally ask the hotel’s second boss about his relationship with his sister Cassia to see whether it was really as their grandmother and Brie had claimed… that they were in a romantic relationship.

Normally, meeting a company executive required an appointment. But when Aspen had called the Lennox Hotel front desk, the moment he gave his surname–Wood–the receptionist had immediately hung up.

When he called again, they didn’t even pick up. They just rejected the call outright.

f it weren’t for Cassia, he would’ve already lost his temper.

With no other choice, Aspen headed there in person.

But as soon as he arrived, he was stopped by security at the entrance.

“You’re Aspen Wood, right? Sorry, we don’t accept guests from the Wood family.”

The guard’s tone was firm and unfriendly, as if the moment Aspen tried to force his way in, he’d be thrown out.

Danica had mentioned before that the Lennox Hotel refused all guests with the surname Wood, yet treated Cassia like an honored

guest.

Didn’t that already say something about her relationship with the second boss?

But without confirmation, he didn’t dare jump to conclusions.

“I’m here to see your second boss. It’s about my sister, Cassia.”

“I don’t care what it’s about. If the boss says no Woods allowed, then you’re not getting in!”

Chapter 544 Juggling Multiple Men

The guard remained unmoved despite Aspen’s urgency.

At that moment, a black SUV pulled up in front of the hotel, and Buck stepped out.

“What’s going on here? This guy is…”

Since Aspen rarely appeared in public, Buck didn’t recognize him.

“Ah, I’m here to see Mr. Madron,” Aspen quickly said.

Seeing the guards greet Buck respectfully, he guessed this man must be someone close to Jake.

“You’re looking for Jake? He’s not here right now. And you are…?”

“I’m…” Aspen hesitated. Why was this man addressing the boss so casually?

But that wasn’t important. What mattered was getting an answer.

If he revealed he was from the Wood family, they definitely wouldn’t treat him kindly.

“I’m a friend of Cassia’s.”

A friend of the boss?

Buck sized him up from head to toe.

f he were really Cassia’s friend, he couldn’t afford to be rude.

‘Oh! Nice to meet you. What do you need with Jake? I can pass the message along.”

‘It’s nothing serious. It’s just that there have been rumors lately saying Cassia and Mr. Madron are in a relationship. I came to ask it t’s true.”

‘What? Where did you hear that?” Buck looked genuinely shocked.

Aspen’s eyes widened, his briefcase nearly slipping from his hand.

‘So it is true?”

Buck burst out laughing, hands on his hips. “Haha! No way! That’s impossible. They’re definitely not a couple! They’re boss and subordinate.”

“Huh?”

He understood the first part, but the second left him completely confused.

“It’s good they’re not dating, but what did you just say? Boss and subordinate?”

Cassia was just a recent high school graduate, so how could she possibly have that kind of relationship with the hotel’s second

boss?

Aspen was utterly baffled.

Seeing his confusion, Buck thought to himself, And you call yourself the boss’s friend? You don’t even know who she really is.

If her identity were revealed, it might scare you to death.

Just as Buck was about to explain, Victoria approached.

That evening, after dinner, Victoria had been on her way to meet her friends for some dancing. Passing by the Lennox Hotel, she happened to spot Aspen talking to one of Cassia’s “boyfriends.”

She immediately told the driver to stop and hurried over.

“Aspen! Didn’t you always think your sister was decent?” she snapped. “Let me show you today how she’s juggling multiple men!”

With that, Victoria marched up the hotel steps, pointed at Buck, and said, “There! That’s one of your dear sister Cassia’s boyfriends -Buck Guzman! And there’s another…”

Before she could finish, Aspen rushed forward, pulling her down the steps and cutting her off in a low, urgent voice, “Grandma, you’ve got it wrong! He’s not the second boss of the Lennox Hotel!”
