No matter whether they were good or bad people, they absolutely could not let someone like that get close to Jessica.

The international and domestic trending topics exploded, marking the start of a new day.

Uncle Mason immediately suspected that it was Collin’s doing.

If such a thing happened in their own hotel, it was surprising the hotel could even stay open.

Collin hadn’t yet started working at Hurricane Media recently; he mostly stayed in the family study.

In a few days, he and Jaden were going to move back to Golden Mansion.

With a bang, the study door was pushed open.

Collin’s sharp gaze instinctively lifted as he saw the butler and Uncle Mason entangled at the doorway.

The butler quickly turned and said to Collin, “Sorry, sir, I couldn’t stop him.”

Collin waved his hand. “It’s alright.”

Hearing that, the butler finally released Mason.

Mason took just a few steps and stood firmly in front of Collin’s desk, planting both hands heavily on the table, looking down at Collin with a domineering gaze.

Collin’s confidence sharply contrasted with Mason’s fury.

“What happened, Uncle Mason? Why are you so angry at noon?”

Mason gritted his teeth. “Was it you who caused this mess?”

Collin crossed his hands and rested his chin on them, “You mean that matter?”

Not only was it about the Lumen Hotel, but also many other things–ever since Collin took charge of the Phillips family, he had been the one who kept causing Mason and the others trouble.

He openly presented himself in front of Mason. He wanted to ask him what authority or status did he have to question him? By what right did he have to challenge him?

Originally, all of this should have been his.

It was those parasites in the Phillips family who had taken them all away because of their greed. This caused him to go through so much hardship before he finally returned to what rightfully belonged to him.

“Collin, do you have to go this far?”

“Uncle Mason.” Collin’s tone was slow and deliberate, his eyes hiding a smile mixed with sharpness. “You’re the one who started it. I’m only returning the favor. There’s no need to be so angry.”

Mason clenched his fists tightly on the table, staring at Collin as if his eyes were knives stabbing him repeatedly.

In the end, Mason admitted defeat.

“What do you want?”

“That’s more like it. You now sound like you’re ready to negotiate.” Collin leaned back and gestured for Mason to take a seat.

“You know the Lumen Hotel was originally founded by my father. I’m a filial person–I don’t want the company my parents started to fall into others‘ hands, so I want the Lumen Hotel.”

“That’s not happening!” Mason jumped up abruptly right after sitting down.

“You already have Hurricane Media, what’s the Lumen Hotel compared to that? What’s the point of snatching it back?”

Collin’s expression turned cold.

“Even if I snatch it back today and tear it down tomorrow, the Lumen Hotel will still be in my hands! Everything my parents left me is mine!”

Seeing Mason biting his teeth fiercely, Collin slightly softened and said,

“I’m not that heartless. Doesn’t Uncle Mason also have that parts company on the brink of collapse? I’ll give you some money to push that company into the top five in the country. How about that?”

Since Jessica saw the report on Elfa, she had felt unsettled.

Shannon knocked on the door for a long time with no response and thought Jessica might have fallen asleep.

She pushed the door open gently, only to see her sitting in the chair, lost in thought.

Putting lunch quietly on the table, Shannon called out, “Ms. Wilder, Mr. Green sent someone to bring lunch for you.”

The words “Mr. Green” brought Jessica back to her senses.
