"You came to buy this hotel?" Eleanor laughed, her eyes filled with contempt. "Do you even have enough to pay for my shoes?"
Lucas smiled calmly. "Actually, I already wired the money."
He turned to the stunned hotel manager."Check your account. Steele Global just bought you out."
The manager's hands trembled as he opened his tablet.
"$120 million… received just now, sir!"
Gasps filled the room. Phones started recording.
Eleanor paled. Her father clutched his chest.
Lucas adjusted his cufflinks. "Next time you throw champagne on someone… make sure he's not the new owner."
He turned and walked away, leaving behind silence and shame.
