Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 34:

sputtered with indignation.

“What the hell did you just say? Aren’t I her biological father? I’m the one who brought her into this world. Without my care and sacrifices, she wouldn’t have made it this far. Even if we’ve severed ties, shouldn’t she be the one to mend them? All she’s ever been to me is a bitter disappointment!”

Lillian was left utterly speechless. How could someone like him even dare to call himself a father? He was always playing the martyr, hiding behind a mask of fake righteousness.

“Ms. Harper is unavailable at the moment as she’s in a meeting. Would you like me to relay a message for you?” Lillian responded smoothly, her voice calm and professional, embodying poise under pressure. After all, he was Daniela’s father, and showing basic courtesy was the least she could do.

Caiden’s voice turned icy, slicing through the air with increased sharpness.

“Make sure Daniela calls me back within the hour. And she owns Luxor Tower, correct? I want the 18th to 20th floors.”

Lillian blinked, taken aback.

“I’m sorry, could you repeat that?”

“Don’t act like you didn’t hear me!” Caiden growled, his tone sharp and impatient.

“The building’s being renovated, isn’t it? Ensure those three floors are included. I’ll forward my own blueprints later, and you will adhere to those designs. Understood?”

Caiden ended the call abruptly, slamming the phone down with a triumphant expression, his smugness practically dripping off him.

Almost fifty minutes later, Daniela strode out of the conference room. The moment she appeared, Lillian promptly delivered Caiden’s directives.

“Your father mentioned he would send someone with the blueprints for the renovation. Also, he insists you return his call within the hour.”

Daniela took her time signing the pile of documents resting on her desk. Still focused on her paperwork, she casually asked, “Has an hour passed already?”

Lillian quickly checked her watch and replied, “Just a minute past the hour.”

Daniela gave a small nod.

“Perfect. No reason to call back now.” Lillian paused, momentarily startled by Daniela’s easy dismissal. After a second, she hesitated before asking, “And the blueprints?”

Daniela shot her a look, and Lillian quickly nodded, understanding the unspoken message.

“Understood.”

When the blueprints finally arrived, curiosity got the better of Lillian, and she couldn’t resist peeking at them. Her jaw nearly dropped.

Unbelievable.

Seriously, how shameless could someone be?

The design looked as though it belonged in a royal palace—over-the-top and dripping with extravagance.

“Easy to splurge when it’s not your own money, huh?” Lillian muttered under her breath.

She passed the blueprints over to Daniela, who took one quick look and tossed them into the trash can without a second thought.

Meanwhile, Caiden had been sitting around for over two hours, growing increasingly restless. He kept his eyes glued to the phone, staring so hard it made them ache, but Daniela never returned his call.

His expression turned stormy and intense.
