Claimed By The Billioniare I Once Rejected のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Cassandra returned home and told Leonard what had happened.“Is this a joke?” Leonard was upset. “We’ve already distributed the wedding cards to so many people. What would they think if we were to change the bride? Elena will become a laughing stock.”“Uh, I know, but… Elena doesn’t like this wedding, so we can use this opportunity to look good,” Cassandra said.Leonard’s expression changed. He touched his chin. “You’re not wrong. But… Do you really think Kyra Lynn will like your brother?’“What’s wrong with my brother? He’s handsome, rich, and successful,” Cassandra said with confidence. “If anything, he’s experienced with women, and most women like that.”“I met Kyra Lynn,” Leonard said. “She’s quite focused on her job. I don’t think she and Gregg will be a match.”“We’ve already arranged a blind date for them, without their knowledge.”“When?’“Tonight. They think it’s a business meeting, but they’ll realize it once they get there.”“Ah, huh. It might backfire.”“Or, it might click

Kyra lay down on bed that night and browsed online, checking information about Adrian.“He used to be fat when he was a kid, huh. Then he got fit, almost at the same time when he started doing business. Instead of working in his father’s company, he started making investments in other companies and even built a start up company with his own money.“Though he failed with that company, he succeeded in the investment business and earned billions in a matter of a few years. A self made man… Interesting… He’s completely different from Gregg Huefner. I wonder how he’ll be in person.”The next day.Adrian’s bodyguard, Jericho, stopped the car at a five-star restaurant named Eco Waves.“How long are you going to stay here, Boss?” Jericho asked him.“No idea. My mom told me to meet someone important,” Adrian said, adjusting his watch. “The meeting could end in five minutes or last fifty minutes. It all depends on the other person. Why?”“My wife always wanted to eat at this restaurant,” Jerich

The limousine stopped on the rear side of Cream Cafe.I kept glancing at my mobile, hoping it’d vibrate.But it didn’t.Atlas opened the door to my left, but I went to the right side and opened that door by myself and stepped out.Atlas smiled like nothing happened, but I could tell that I more than pinched his ego.Some of my relatives and friends were waiting outside for me.A couple of them escorted me into the cafe from the back door. The surroundings were clean, but it felt strange.Gregg’s parents were inside, but they didn’t look like they were waiting.“Gregg will be here soon,” Britney Huefner said, giving me a bunch of flowers to hold, but I turned my head and looked away. “Look at this girl’s attitude.”“We want you to smile and appear friendly when you walk out of this cafe,” Paul Huefner said. “If you cause any nuisance, then you will regret it.”I could understand their words.Their only son was getting married when he was nearing forty.They wanted this wedding to be gr

3P POV:“I need to go to the washroom,” Elena quickly said and rushed away.“She’s not planning on running away, is she?” Cassandra whispered to her husband.“There’s no escape route from the washroom,” Leonard told her.“You already checked?”“Yeah. I’ve marked all the possible spots through which her boyfriend could take her away,” Leonard said.“Good. It’s better to be safe than feel sorry later.”A couple of minutes later.Elena came out of the washroom with a bottle of water in one hand.Nobody questioned her about the bottle because they subconsciously thought that she had gone in with the bottle.Cassandra put a green diamond necklace around Elena’s neck.Leonard locked his arm with his daughter’s arms and walked out of the cafe with the family members coming behind them.Hundreds of tables were arranged outside. The road itself was blocked off in both directions. Flowers climbed the street poles like obedient vows.It looked like a grand photoshoot with people capturing videos

Adrian’s smile filled Elena’s world after she said yes.She forgot about everything happening around her.“I will not accept this!” Leonard’s voice cut through the air like a gavel slammed too hard. Fury burst past his restraint, and he grabbed Elena’s hand and pulled her away. “Move aside!”“D-Dad!” Elena had a worried and nervous look as Adrian placed himself in front of her.Leonard’s eyes locked onto him. “You have some nerve,” he said coldly. “Walking into my daughter’s wedding after what your father did to me.”Murmurs surged. The guests leaned in. Most of them knew the story. The failed joint venture. The losses. The whispers that Adrian’s dad had walked away clean while Leonard paid the price.Gregg laughed sharply, covering all the pain behind his smile. “This is also a business play.” He did his best to keep smiling and not let any darkness surface on his face. “Steal the bride and also humiliate both the Aldridge and the Huefner families in front of everyone.”He stepped to
