"And you're not interested?" asked Orin. "She's only three... 'ish years younger than you."
"She's selfish and self-centered to a degree I find unhealthy," replied Jack. "And by that I mean unhealthy for anyone that chooses to enter a relationship with her. At the yacht party, she latched onto Darrel's arm just to spite my lack of interest and despite the creep vibes the man was exuding."
"Ah. And the hotel? Does that not interest you? It's probably worth at least one and a half billion credits."
"How much do you want to bet that whoever marries Lily will find that they either cannot sell the hotel, or if they did, the vast majority of the profit would flow to a trust in Lily's name?"
"That's a sucker's bet," chuckled Orin.
"I'm not interested in running a hotel, or watching Lily fritter away the profits. So, it's a bad deal as far as I'm concerned."
"If you're not interested in running a hotel. Why buy rental properties near NSU?"
