The person walked through the crowd towards the podium.
Silence filled the room, seeing an unknown entity leading towards the couple. Clara's eyes widened due to surprise. She was about to get up when her hand was suddenly clenched into a firm hold, making Clara sit in her place. She turned towards the person holding her down.
Mr. Sheldon released his hold on his daughter, looking straight towards the young lady.
The girl's dress was simple, but yet she looks divine. Eve was wearing an A-line dress with a bottleneck neckline, intensifying the beauty of her neck. Her dress had long sleeves with a cathedral train.
Her gown was of pastel peach color, intensifying the girl's milky white skin. The train of her dress has embroidered in silk, including small crystals of scarlet, coral pink, rose pink color, giving it a shimmery look.
"Eve," Clara whispered. Even though she was not that loud, Alexander still heard it. He narrowed his eyes at her words.
Alexander started observing the girl more. The girl looked stunning, maybe more beautiful than the bride herself. Her makeup was minimal, giving her a fresh look.
Her hair was flowing down her back. Her black hair, dancing with the wind as she walked. Even though she was not exposing her skin, it did not affect her glam.
It was a general understanding that no one should dress up in a high profile manner at someone else's wedding or reception. But it seems like this Eve is hell bent on breaking norms.
"No one moves," Mr. Sheldon whispered, "Let her finish" it was not a request but a command for both of them.
Clara was stunned. She felt that her father knew Eve. She wanted to ask more but was interrupted by a melodious voice.
"Hello everyone," Eve began her speech facing the crowd.
"Why are you..." Olivia wanted to interrupt the dazzling girl. She never thought that this girl would have the nerve to come.
"Now that everyone is congratulating the couple, I should say a few words." her eyes were bright and clear, looked at everyone without acting shy, making all enchanted by her confidence.
In the midst of this, no one saw the pale face of Dave.
"I have known Dave through a common friend, five years back." Eve met Dave's eye with an innocent smile. "But we lost touch over the years."
"It's just a few days back that we happened to meet again" Her smiling face turned away from him, "Our common friend wanted to attain today as well, but... Never mind."
At the mention of this friend, Dave's body shook with anger. His hand curled into a fist to suppress his emotions. He was not sure who invited Eve, but he hoped that she would be done soon without causing any problems.
"I would like to congratulate the loving couple for finally getting married," Eve's tone suddenly turned sharp. It did not look like a young girl congratulating her friend, but more like blaming him.
"Four years of a strong relationship is really something. I know I won't be able to handle it." She chuckled, making Alexander's mind calm. Everyone started to connect these two together.
"Afterall, Mr. Dave is a very handsome man." Eve faced Dave and gave him a wink. Olivia's face turned frosty. She tried very hard to suppress her emotions. She was trying hard not to pull Eve's eyes out.
"Fun fact, I actually met Miss Olivia, oops it's Mrs. Black now, sorry I will need some time to get used to that" It was a reminder that there is only the change in the title, not the emotions. "So I met Mrs. Black just after her wedding, it was an interesting and unplanned meetup."
"I was told to attain this occasion. After all, I would never be able to experience this again" Olivia remembered her talk with this girl. She wanted to flaunt her status, but now she regretted it.
Who would have known, Eve would not only attain looking like an enchantress but also talk in this manner.
"I could not bring any gift," there was sorrow in Eve's speech, "But I will sure give something unforgettable."
"On this special occasion, I would like to announce that, starting from this moment onwards, IL will remove all its investments from BH industries" Eve's voice was not loud, but its effect was tremendous.
"All the land deals are henceforth null" there was an authority in her voice, making it hard for everyone to ignore.
"Who are you to give such statements?" Olivia giggled.
IL has enormous investments in many sectors. It was not a power to be taken lightly. Not anyone could make such statements out in the open.
"Oh. A few people know me, while some have heard about me, and if you have not yet. Remember it. It's 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙮𝙣 𝘿𝙖𝙮." Stillness filled the room until there was an uproar in the venue.
