All Chapters of Trapped by the Ruthless Billionaire: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Her words hurt him deeply. He didn't care when other people called him heartless and he already knew that she was afraid of him but hearing it from her lips made him feel horrible. He didn’t want her to be afraid of him. He rather wanted her to be comfortable around him. He wanted her to be his only female friend. "Why are you afraid of me? I've never hurt you and never will." His voice broke, as strange emotions surged through him. He still didn’t understand what he felt for her. He only knew that he liked having her close to him and didn’t want any other man close to her.Jenna’s head was lowered but when she raised it, all she saw was indifference. At that, she felt that perhaps he didn’t care. At that thought, she didn’t feel vile to tell him her reason. "You are always so cold and intimidating." Casper sighed internally, relief washing him. He thought he must have done something to hurt her but It didn’t seem so. "You should get used to it by now. You know me better than anyone

Casper knew that Grandpa had pride. Calling him broke was his way of making the old man regret taking the money and to return it. He also expected Grandpa to invite him to his villa for speaking to him in such a manner but when Grandpa didn’t do as expected, his suspicions grew. As for the offense committed, he had to handle it tactically, since Grandpa’s job wasn't completed until Casper was married. He could still use that to meddle in his life and just as expected, he did."Have you lost your manners because of power? Don't forget that I still have the right to interfere in your life for as long as you aren't married. You haven't made a move to acquaint yourself with the Wreaths, have you?" Grandpa hid his embarrassment and the fury boiling inside of him, while he straightened himself and walked towards the balcony. Caesar was upset. He knew it was Casper again. He was the only trouble his father had and if he had his way, he would take him out of the way.Casper clutched the phone

“Jenna, why are you so busy, it's time for lunch.” Peggy had finished admiring Jenna's office and finally said. Jenna lifted her head, rubbing her temple tiredly. She really needed a break. “Casper said he'll take me out for lunch later.” Peggy's eyes narrowed at the remembrance of the rumours. She had even realized that Jenna, as a manager, was on the same floor as the CEO. No matter how she tried, she was tempted to believe that something wasn't right. “Are you talking about Mr Blade? Why do you address him so casually?” Peggy asked with an air of novelty.Jenna forced a smile. She couldn't tell Peggy everything like Kate since they hadn't been in touch for long. It was better to be cautious than to cry later in regret. “We were friends before I started working here,” she pressed her lips and said.She wasn't lying even though it wasn't the main reason. She met Casper before she knew he was her boss so she was still telling the truth. Peggy nodded her head thoughtfully.“No wonder

Drake's shoulders hunched in anxiety, as he awaited her response. "I am not in the position to tell you the reason, I'm sorry." His countenance fell, as his fears began to surge through him. However, he had to feign some confidence to get the answers he craved. He straightened up, his voice laced with confidence. "But you can't do that. As a citizen, I have the right to know." The person at the receiving end didn't sound shaken. She seemed to know what she was saying. "The reason will be made known to you but not by me. I might as well inform you that the same rule applies to all ticketing offices." Drake could feel a blanket of hot waves covering him at the moment, he began to sweat profusely. "Wait, you...." The beeping sound was a clear indication that the person on the other side had hung up the phone. Drake ruffled his hair and went to wake Eve. They were in this together and as much as he now hated her, he needed her help. "You can't be sleeping. Wake up," he tapped Eve on

Grandpa seemed to be in a good mood in contrast to Casper. He delivered the news as if it was a business deal worth billions of dollars. "The Wreaths have made a move. They want to see their son-in-law-to-be and become acquaintances." Casper felt a sharp pain, close to that of a terrible headache at what grandpa had said. He always assured himself that he had enough time but the Wreaths seemed to be in a hurry. He closed his eyes in frustration and opened it. An unfamiliar air of superiority circulated the dimly lit office when he looked at the sleeping figure on the sofa. He wouldn’t do anything to harm her."Why should they be the ones to make the move? They are paid by the Blades so they should lie low till we give the go-ahead,” Casper said insipidly.Over time, tradition never forbade the Wreaths from making the first move but Casper was using his authority to suppress the meeting between both parties. If Jenna found out that preparations were being made toward his marriage, he
