All Chapters of Sweet Revenge of The Rejected Daughter : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Alice’s POVI nodded, my lips lifting into a smile. The camera went crazy when Klaus wrapped his hand around my waist, drawing me closer. A wave of whispers erupted. “Isn’t that Alice? Damn! She looks absolutely gorgeous.”“I thought it was fake.”“They actually look good together.”My cheeks burned. Klaus was completely unaffected by the comments. If anything, he looked amused.He held me like something fragile. Something he couldn’t afford to break. Slowly, he guided me deeper into the restaurant. The entire place was breathtaking. Crystal chandeliers that hung from the ceiling. Soft music. It was perfect. A waiter immediately rushed forward. “Mr Gambino. Your private table is ready.”Of course he had a private table. I couldn’t expect less from Klaus Gambino. We followed the waiter upstairs to a secluded balcony. I could see the city lights. The view stole my breath away. “It’s…beautiful,” I whispered, still staring.“Not as beautiful as you.” I nearly choked. It felt un

Victoria’s POV “Someone that can help you destroy Alice.” I stared at my phone speechlessly. “When you’re ready to work with me, you know what to do.” Who was this? My fingers flew across my screen, but then I stopped. What if it’s a trap? No. I don’t need anyone's help. Especially to take down Alice. Another notification popped on my screen. Klaus Gambino spotted with former heiress Alice Sterling during a luxury dinner date. My grip on the phone tightened. I scrolled. The images made my eyes widen. Klaus was beside Alice in a very intimate way. His hand wrapped around her waist, looking at her like she was the most beautiful thing in the room. Isn’t Klaus meant to detest Alice? This no longer looked fake, but real. The more I stared at the photos, the more they looked like a real couple. For a second, I thought they actually looked…good together. I shook my head. What was I even thinking? I’m sure it’s just an act. A performance to make every

Alice’s POVI stared at Klaus for while, trying to see if I could see something, anything. But his face remained blank, completely unreadable.Klaus turned his grey eyes fixed on me. “While I was gone, did Matthew say something to you?” My heart skipped. Klaus was just too smart. “N-no,” I said quickly. “So you mean you guys didn’t say anything at all?”My heart hammered against my ribs. Was it possible he knew?“We only exchanged pleasantries,” I replied. “That’s all.”With narrowed eyes, he looked at me, obviously not satisfied with my answer. “Get ready,” he blurted out. “We have somewhere to go in the evening.”My brows rose. “Where?”“A charity gala.”“No. No,” I shook my head. “I don’t think I’d like to be there. It’s going to be too crowded.”“Doesn’t matter. You’re going,” he said. “Anywhere I go, you follow.”“And if I disagree?”“I’ll drag you there myself.”I sighed. This man was impossible. Why was I even arguing? He always wins no matter what. “Be ready at 5.”I r

Alice’s POVThe sound of a glass shattering against the floor echoed in the hall. Lifting my head, I saw Victoria. She looked dizzy, confused. She fell backwards with the chair in a very embarrassing manner. Gasps erupted, followed by laughter. Victoria’s face was flushed, avoiding eye contacts.With shaky legs, she grabbed one of the waiters. Then, she wrapped her hands around his waist intimately.Why was she acting this way?She looked…drunk.I frowned.Why was she feeling the same way as me but just worse?Then I remembered. The drinks. Klaus had switched them. If he hadn’t, then…that would have been me. I would have been the one clinging to strangers. I would have been the one everyone was laughing at. I would have been tonight’s joke. The realization made a shiver go down my spine. I shifted my gaze to Klaus. He looked calm. Too calm. An amusing smirk played on his lips, looking entertained as if he was watching his favorite tv series.This man had saved me once again. The wh

Alice’s POV The moment her gaze landed on Klaus, she smiled brightly as if she had just won a lottery. “Good morning Mr Gambino,” she said sweetly, her gaze lingering for too long. Klaus didn’t even glance at her. Instead, he turned to one of the employees. “Adjourn the 10 am meeting to 11. I have other matters to attend to.”“Yes Sir.”The smile on her face froze. She cleared her throat, flinging her black wavy hair. “Mr Gambino, I’ve prepared the account reports you requested for.”Still nothing. Klaus didn’t even bother to look at her direction. “Good,” he said flatly. She blinked, her fingers tightening around the document she was holding.“Alice, come,” Klaus whispered softly, as he guided me forward with his hand on my back.Her face flushed with embarrassment. For a moment, I almost felt bad for her. Then, she glared at me. “I didn’t know Mr Gambino was bringing guests today.”Silence. My brows rose. Before I could say a word, Klaus finally looked at her.
