Chapter 9 - Fascinating Reactions

'𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙮𝙣 𝘿𝙖𝙮'

A name is known to several. She was the one who no one saw, the one who started her own financial consultancy at the age of 18. The one who does not stay in the country even though her business dealings are deeply rooted here.

The girl was so young and charming that no one knew she was one of the ruthless devils of the business world.

Everyone had diverse reactions. Some were shocked, some fearful, some doubtful. Only a few were calm, and a handful were happy.

Layla was beyond shocked. IL was supposed to invest in Kyle's business, but now...

Was it Clara's doing? It can't be. She would never have the heart to do that.

Many questions revolved around her mind. She subconsciously looked towards Kyle but saw him staring at Evelyn. His face was calm, but his eyes contained thrill.

"Fascinating reactions." Evelyn's lips rose into a beautiful curve. Her eyes lingered through the crowd before they firmly set upon the power couple of the day.

"I wanted to stay a little longer, but I am very busy. Afterall, I have to earn my own money."

Olivia was mum. Her eyes glowed with hatred. It was just a few days back when she believed that this girl was struggling to earn her living.

'I even offered her money to buy her favorite dress.'

Today's situation was a slap on Olivia's face. Even though others did not know her behavior, but her close friends know how she used to ridicule Evelyn.

Olivia's sight shifted towards her friends who were already in shock.things are hard to handle now, mostly because of her behavior.

Evelyn made her way out without much of a thought. She has already made her point clear. The road for revenge has just started.

The party could not be dismissed. There were many important figures. It's true that due to this sudden bow, the share price would go down. Rapid measures were required.

Dave did not waste any time and left his bride and brother to entertain the guest while he rushed to do damage control with his teams.

News spread soon, even though there were no reporters, yet the news spread like wildfire.

It was massive news and might leave a considerable influence on the business world.

"We should leave now." Mr. Sheldon got up from his seat without turning back.

There was no need to give a face to the Black family now. As the situation has amplified and dragged, his only wish was not getting his daughter to get entangled in it.

Things never go as you want them to. Mr. Sheldon sighed and made his way out without much of a thought.

"Clara, you.." Seeing Sheldon's family leaving, Layla hastened towards them.

She had so many questions, but for now, keeping people at the party was necessary.

"Miss Sparks, please call me Miss. Sheldon." Clara's voice was sharp, deprived of emotions. Even if Layla wanted to talk further, her voice was lost.

Clara waited for a second, but Layla did not say anything. Rolling her eyes, she walked out along with her family.

Alexander's eyes watched Sheldon's. He was as baffled as everyone else.

The girl that was just a year older than Clara was one of the biggest shareholders not only in his company but also at Black and Sheldon's too.

Why has no one recognized her was simple, she was never in the country, and no one knew how she looked. Mr. Day made sure there was not a single picture of her unless she herself wanted to.

All the meetings were either attended by Mr. Day or by his Assistant as a representative. Numerous people almost forgot that IL was owned by Evelyn and not her father.

"We should move too." Mr. Knight helped his wife and walked out behind Sheldon's.

Layla could not even utter a word. She could just see her former friends leaving her behind.
