Villain: The Play of Destiny-Chapter 71

"Thank you for coming to our wedding, Mrs Grayson!" Keith politely bowed to the middle-aged lady, who stood between her two children.

"It's our pleasure, Heir Demiliore!" She replied with a polite smile. "And we are really glad that we were invited. It was a beautiful event!" She said and then stepped forward to hug Amelia. "Always be happy, Miss Amelia!"

"Thank you!" His bride lightly smiled and graciously accepted the blessing.

"You are beautiful!" Rebecca Grayson, who was looking ravishing herself, felt completely outshined in Amelia's presence, but still sincerely spoke those words.

"Thank you, Miss Grayson." Amelia nodded to her with a smile and watched her husband hug his classmate.

"I am glad you are here." Keith chuckled and said.

"Me too. And many many congratulations on getting married!" Julian happily smiled. "And to you too, Mrs Demiliore!" He politely bowed to Amelia.

"Thank you!" Amelia politely smiled at him and then turned to look at Rebecca. "Would you like to accompany me to greet some guests?"

Rebecca did not show her surpise on her face and simply nodded her head before leaving together with Amelia, and the two of them were soon joined by Qingyue as they greeted some guests.

"My husband is really impressed by what you have achieved in business in such a short time, Heir Demiliore." Mrs Grayson suddenly said. "He asked me to especially wish you the best of luck for future endeavours."

"I am grateful for such thoughts, Mrs Grayson. And I wish you and your family best of luck on the Graymart Project. It is bound to be a success and a boon to your family!" He lightly smiled when he saw the shock in her eyes at his words.

Graymart Project was a tightly kept secret of the Grayson Family as they were soon going to enter the E-commerce market by establishing their own platform. It was a project that she created and would be put under the command of her daughter Rebecca in the future. And other than the key members of the Grayson Group of Industries, no one should be aware of it. Not even Julian.

"Well, Thank you, Heir Demiliore." She stiffly said when she saw the light smile on his lips.

If the Demiliore were already aware of it then it was possible that they were going to suffer a lot if they too decided to enter the same industry.

"Rest assured, Mrs Grayson. Your project is in no danger." He saw through her and gently said. "And I do have a few suggestions about the business if you would like to hear them."

"That is generous of you. Please!" She felt a sinking feeling in her stomach but still kept a smile on her face.

Keith then proceeded to tell how a new E-commerce platform should tackle the market and make room for itself. He took some inspirations from knowledge he had gained from his dream, as well as the knowledge of the future approach of the Platform under the command of Rebecca. It helped that his own business acumen was quite sharp as well. And needless to say, he hooked her in the discussion.

The more Mrs Grayson and Julian listened to his words, the more shocked they both felt. It was especially the case with the former as she had been working on her project for over three years now, and Keith simply provided solutions for all the challenges that they were currently facing with the project. And he even gave them a few suggestions that could help them tremendously in the future.

"You do know that you could make your own platform with all that knowledge?" She felt uneasy in her heart and asked.

"We don't have to always compete with each other in the same industry, Madame." He chuckled. "I have my hands full, and it won't matter much to me or my family if we don't enter the E-commerce market. Our focus is on something different now. More than anything, I want to make some new friends to keep the waters steady, and for future benefits and profits." He glanced at Julian and then back at the lady.

He bared his intentions before her, and she could not help but feel relieved in her heart.

"You have helped me immensely, Heir Demiliore. Your favor will be remembered." She promised him.

"You can return the favor by making the best E-commerce Platform in Netheria." He chuckled and sipped on some wine. "Maybe we can think of some cooperation in the future when that happens."

"Of course!" She smiled and nodded, more relieved in her heart that Keith wanted something in return.

There was no free lunch in the world. And if offered for free, it was bound to be laced in poison.

It was clear from Keith's words that he was only helping them out in hope that they can work together on something in the future, which would benefit both the families.

"Susana!" A bright voice called out, and the beautiful lady approched them.

"Venessa!" Mrs Grayson smiled and hugged the Lady of the Demiliore Family. "I was just talking to your son about something, and let me say it, he takes after you in his mind for business."

"Well, Thank You!" Venessa was obviously happy at hearing such words and then she engaged the woman whom she had known for quite some time in a polite conversation.

Seeing the two ladies chatting happily, Keith excused himself and Julian kept him company as they greeted some more guests before they joined their group of classmates and other people of their generation who were present in the Banquet Hall.

"You finally remembered us!" The plump James complained but stepped forward to hug Keith. "Many many congratulations on getting married, my friend!"

"Thanks!" He smiled and then accepted the well-wishes of everyone else as well. "So, what were you guys talking about?"

"Of course, you! And your recent activities!" Eric, the lanky boy with the goatee, spoke. "We are quite hopeful that you will throw us a lavish party at the Meladona Prime, Keith."

"Wait for my birthday." He chuckled and nodded his head, making them all happily cheer at his words.

"And we never thought you were going to do some exciting projects like The Element when you told us that you would be operating in the Real Estate Market!" James beamed at him and said. "Tell us, is there is ever going to be an Element Prime. And what amenities it would have?"

"Are you asking for yourself or do you plan on selling out this information as a news?" Keith scoffed and said, which prompted all the guys around them to laugh at the plump boy.

"Of course, I would sell the news! You shouldn't be too stingy. I need to prepare funds for a new sports car!" James discontentedly said.

"Alright, alright. And yes, there will be Element Prime, and as for some new amenities, there will be a Casino."

"Oh my god! Really?!" James excitedly asked.

"Yes!" He nodded his head and watched the plump boy jump up excitedly.

"Keith!" A sweet voice called out, and soon a little boy happily rushed towards him, followed by an older girl, who was happily smiling at him.

"Hey, Ben!" He picked up the little boy in his arms and pecked a kiss on his cheek. "You are not getting bored, are you?" He asked.

"No! This is fun!" The little boy happily said. "You and Amelia look just like a prince and a princess! And I loved your wedding ceremony!"

"Well, thank you!" He laughed lightly and then opened his arm to allow Kiara to hug him. "Everyone, this is Benjamin Angelini, my cousin. And this beautiful lady is Kiara Angelini, his older sister." He introduced them to the group, who looked quite awkward and surprised at the same time.

Most of them knew what had happened between the Angelini and the Demiliore, and even if they had questions on their minds, they refrained from approaching him to ask those questions.

"You are a beautiful lady, Miss Angelini!" James was the first to politely bow to Kiara, and then everyone else greeted the Angelini siblings quite cordially.

By this time, Amelia, Qingyue, and Rebecca arrived to join them too, and a new round of greetings began with most conveying their well wishes to Amelia and praising her on her beauty and elegance.

Rebecca seemed to have a lot of interest in Kiara, and she chatted with her in hopes of gathering some information about the relationship between the Demiliore and Angelini.

It was quite similar to how Qingyue had behaved yesterday when she met Kiara, but their reasons for gathering such information was quite different.

"Want another news to help you with your funds?" Keith suddenly asked James when he found Rebecca trying to get something out of Kiara.

"What?!" James excitedly asked.

"Kiara, come here." He smiled in the direction of his little sister, who excused herself away from Rebecca and Qingyue, and arrived by his side, hugging his arm. "I think I should introduce her again." He meaningfully glanced at Rebecca. "Meet the future lady of the Demiliore Family, Kiara Angelini."

"What?!" James loudly yelled out, attracting a lot of attention in their direction.

"She's my Fiancée." He smiled and said again, laying it out clearly to them, and Kiara laughed when she saw their dumbfounded faces.

"It's nice to meet you too, everyone!" She mischievously said before excusing herself and going back to join the group of girls, where Qingyue and she giggled at how everyone around them was reacting to the news.
