All Chapters of Claimed By The Billioniare I Once Rejected: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

“Mom, Stop,” Adrian said slowly but with a heavy voice. “You, Dad, and Russell Lynn were present during the deal. Why are you shifting the blame to Elena now? I’m the one who exposed the crap that Gregg did to all his ex-girlfriends. I’m more responsible than her.”When the name Russell Lynn was brought up, Vienna’s expression changed.That was the richest man in the world, after all.“Hmph, you’re shifting the blame onto yourself?” Iva hissed. “Fine. Then own up to your mistakes. Make the Huefner family pay.”“I will, but I don’t think just the Huefner family is behind it,” Adrian said. “The Paine family also…”Iva sucked in a deep breath and shook her head. “This is not going to end well for us. I can also smell it. The betrayals and the secret handshakes. These are more than enough to push our brand value back without us knowing why.”“I will handle it, Mom,” Adrian said.“You should,” Iva said and then looked at her husband. “If the Huefner family can mess with our companies, then

“You’re missing the point, my little sister,” Vienna said. “You can either give love or receive love. If Adrian wasn’t in love with Elena, then our love for him might work, but with the way it is now, he will not reciprocate our love with love. It will only infuriate him.”“If I love him more than Elena, won’t he automatically choose me over her?” Risa said. “I look better than her. I’m his cousin. We’re family. He’ll choose me over Elena.”“But do you love him?” Vienna asked.“Are you really asking me that? I didn’t even date anybody.”“That’s because your standards are so freaking high.”“No. It’s because I have Adrian in my heart.”Vienna smiled. “Yeah, sure. He’s already gotten before, and you say that you kept him in your heart? Keep deluding yourself like that.”She went and crashed on the bed.“Can I take it that you gave up on Adrian?” Risa asked.“I lost the motivation to go after him,” Vienna said. After she didn’t receive any attention from Adrian, she did not feel like cha

That morning.Adrian did not come down to have breakfast.He had the items brought to his room.Iva blamed Milo for this and told him to go and apologize to Adrian.Milo just saw this as another opportunity to turn Adrian into his son-in-law.He grabbed a bottle of whiskey and went into Adrian’s room.Adrian just ignored him and kept eating.Milo sat down next to him. “I was drunk last night. So, don’t let what I said bother you. Let’s drink some whiskey together after you finish your meal. After a few shots, we can open up and speak honestly.”“There’s nothing to discuss between us,” Adrian replied in a neutral tone. “And put that bottle away. I can’t be drinking now when I’m supposed to receive an award a few hours later. Are you doing this on purpose so that I’ll look foolish in front of the public?”Milo was shocked. “No, no. That wasn’t my intention at all.”“You expect me to believe that just because you said so?” Adrian retorted.Milo realized that Adrian wasn’t even calling hi

Adrian got down from the stage.His father was the first person to go and give his son a hug, then he said in Adrian’s ear, “Saying and doing are not the same thing.”Adrian smiled. “I’m confident that we can pull it off together.”Iva shook his and also gave him a hug. She said, “Do you really need to do this while we’re facing issues from the Huefner family?”“We have four best entrepreneurs in the family,” Adrian said. “If we can’t pull off something like this, then we should give those medals back.”Iva laughed in response and patted his head once. She genuinely like his response. It ignited her spirit a bit.Clashing with giants was nothing new for the Claimer family. Being the owner of hundreds of big brands, they were constantly competing with big rival brands and were expected to come out on top.Next, it was Milo’s turn.Milo tried to give a hug, but Adrian made him settle for a simple handshake.“I’m proud of you, Adrian,” Milo said. “After your speech, all of our companies’

James Mccoy was a name Elena had not heard of before.But he was a billionaire known for selling luxury products like chandeliers, couches, mirrors, clothes, footwear and skincare products.“Mr. James has a special relationship with Mer,” Brad told her. “His dad was one of the founders of that company. He had to sell those shares away for investing in another business. But he still values that company a lot. He would always tell me that his father regretted selling the shares of Mer. For someone who was selling luxury items, a branded magazine was more important than anything else. He regretted selling that magazine’s shares.”“Can’t he just buy the company or the majority shares now?” Elena asked.“He’s trying, I’m sure, but the recent incidents haven’t made things any easier for him.”“Mm.”A few minutes later.James arrived there in a hurry. He was wearing reading glasses and a loose suit. A traditional, old look. He looked to be in his early thirties.“It’s an honor to meet Ms. El
