All Chapters of Claimed By The Billioniare I Once Rejected: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Elena’s POV:Minutes after my dad left the room, I locked the door and started packing my luggage in a bag.“I should get the photo album, too,” I thought.Knock knock.My heart skipped a beat.“Who is it?” I asked, masking my nervousness with loudness.There was no response.I quickly hid the bag under the bed, keeping it out of view.And then I opened the door.Cassandra was outside, smiling like nothing happened. “Can I come inside?”“For what?” I asked in a cold tone. “Are you going to force me to put the ring on? Will you also force me to sleep with your brother?”“I would never do such a thing to a woman, much less to my daughter,” Cassandra replied.“I’m not your daughter.”“You are. As per the law. As per the world. As per your father. As per me. You’re the only one who’s denying it, and your word alone isn’t enough to establish feelings as facts.”“Did you come here just to argue about this?” I asked impatiently, my eyes looking around for Gregg.He wasn’t anywhere to be seen

3P POV:Aldridge Group contained many billionaire dollar companies in it. From beer and alcohol to clothing and real estate companies were part of it.Altogether, Aldridge Group was worth over 800 billion dollars.On the other hand, the Huefner Group was not as well known as Aldridge Group because they owned electricity generation and coal mining companies and stayed mostly in the background. But their wealth was also worth over half a trillion dollars.Cassandra owned more shares than her brother because their parents believed that she was smarter and more capable.Still, Cassandra loved her brother very much, which was why she had been trying to change him and help him improve his image.Nevertheless, it wasn’t proving easy for her to change his old habits.When Gregg got home in the afternoon that day, Cassandra was waiting for him in the hall.“Wait,” she told him to stop. She walked over to him and sniffed him.She could smell alcohol and drugs on him.“Did you go to a strip club

Elena’s POV:I was sitting next to Gregg in the rear side of the Audi.Atlas was driving the car.“I keep receiving positive messages from everybody,” Gregg looked at me, smiling while chewing bubblegum. “This isn’t possible unless they believe that I hit the jackpot. Even though you disappeared for a year, your image is still rock-solid.”I didn’t say anything, knowing that Gregg was just trying to soften me up with praise.“You finally did it, Young Master Gregg,” Atlas said. “You conquered Young Lady Elena’s heart.”“Atlas, shut your mouth and do your job,” I retorted.Atlas quietened.“He didn’t say anything wrong,” Gregg put his hand on my hand. “I’ve longed to be loved by you.”I pulled my hand away. “You’re just a stalker.”“Oh, c’mon. I’m NOT a stalker,” Gregg forced out a smile. “I’m not a stalker.” He repeated himself. “I’ve been observing you since you were a teen. I was quite jealous when you spent time with that fat boy Adrian all the time. If anyone could be called a sta

Adrian took out his mobile and said with cold confidence, “Tell me the number of this mall’s owner.”Kim was confused for a second but then snickered. “Huh! Why do you need the owner’s number? You think you’re some shit?”Adrian didn’t ask again. I could see him typing on his mobile, probably sending a text message.“Why are you acting like you’re some big shot?” Kim raised his voice. “Even if you’re someone important, this lady here is the new owner of this mall. Since she doesn’t want you here, you should get out… while I’m asking nicely.”“Why are you asking him nicely?” Vivian slapped the manager on the back of his head. “Call the staff and push him out by the neck. Oh, and kick that cut out, too.” She arrogantly glared at me.My heart started racing. It would be utterly humiliating to get pushed out of the mall when so many people were watching.The manager sent a text message to the staff members. “I just called every guard to gather here.” He snickered at us.Just then, the man

I coughed so hard I thought my uvula was going to fall off.Gregg poured water in a glass, but the waiter picked up the glass and gave it to me.I took a couple of sips, and then the coughing sensation quieted down.“Were the fries too spicy?” Gregg asked.“Y-Yeah,” I tried not to look at the waiter. “They are a bit too spicy for my taste.”“Take these fries away,” Gregg ordered the waiter. “Bring a fresh pack with less spice.”“Sure, sir,” Adrian took the fries box and walked away. He briefly glanced over his shoulder and winked at me.My heart thumped against the ribcage from both fear and excitement.How did he even manage to follow our car and then dress up as a waiter?“Mm?” I noticed a bit late that Gregg was staring at me a bit too much. “Is something on my face?”“No, you look like an angel in this white and blue dress,” he smiled passionately. The praise seemed a bit genuine. “I like your taste.”“If I said I don’t like you, would you still like my taste?” I asked back.His e
