Mr. Billionaire's Wife

chapter34

Back at the banquet, the people were stunned at the scene that had unfolded before them. They were shocked at the hidden entrance of Veer who seemed to have a relationship with Kavya.

Moreover, they were surprised that Armaan Kashyap was the type of man to raise his hand against woman not once, but twice. Sure, Kavya might've deserved it in the past, but this time it seemed she really bumped into Malika by mistake.

Did he have to go as far as to bruise her arm and pour wine over her head? She seemed really pitiful too.....

But the banquet didn't remain quiet and awkward for long. When they realized their free entertainment was over, everyone quickly mingled with each other in hopes of stirring up the lively atmosphere again.

Amidst the smiles, laughter and lively chatter the people couldn't help but grow curious about Kavya's relationship with Veer. Like his younger brother, he never attended banquets with a woman in his arms.

The last time he walked into a public event with a woman on his arm was when he escorted Aisha down the red carpet. It made headlines on numerous sources that questioned their romantic relationship. But everything was quickly debunked when the people realized it was just an older brother looking out for his younger sister.

Akhila turned towards her husband, nearly losing her patience.

She couldn't believe that brat had another man as her backing! The first time it was Armaan Kashyap and now it is Veer Singh Oberoi?!

Why was her oldest daughter so well acquainted with wealthy men, whereas her youngest and most beautiful daughter struggled to have powerfull friends(kyu humari baadi beti ke sath hi asa hota hai bade aamir ladka paat jaata hai or upar se humari itni sundar se choti bachi Jhel rahi hai aamir logo se dosti ke liye)?

"Dear, did you just see that(aapne dekha nah woh sab)-"

"Shush, I'm thinking right now(shushh, roka jara mai kuch soch raha hu)." Kavya's father, Vikram Rana placed a handup to silence his wife. He was lost in thought, trying to piece together Kavya's connection to Veer Oberoi.

Seeing how protective and doting he was of her, does that mean they are couple?

He thought about the endless benefits that Veer could bring to the table if she brought him home and introduced him as a lover.

For once, his useless and bad-tempered eldest daughter could finally be of use! Vikram Rana used to care for Kavya up to the point of where she stopped playing the piano.

It had been a few years since Kavya told him she would quit the piano, but the frustration and disappointed were still there. He poured a lot of money to invest in Kavya's skills and even went as far as reserving the best concert halls for her to play in.

All of his boasting and hard work went down the drain when she suddenly told him she would be quitting the piano.

He was frustrated im her but kept his patience because she was Armaan Kashyap's fiance. His patience reached its thinnest straw when she lost the spot beside Armaan Kashyap.

When she was blacklisted from the upper society, Vikram Rana was the first to abandon his eldest daughter. In front of many people, he doomed to bring bad luck inti his family..

As a very old-fashion man, Vikram Rana believed women shouldn't work in outside world that they were previously dominated by men. Daughters or girl child were supposed to learn cooking, stitching, dances, music arts and not the trade of business.

While Kavya had lost her father's grace, Kashti had basked in it. Earning rewards in every piano competition that she has ever competed in, she lived up to her father's expectations.

A graceful flower carefully bloomed under the care, love and supervision of her parents, Kashti was everything a parent could ask for. Sweet kind-hearted, and well talented in skills suitable for a woman, she was the ideal daughter.

Vikram Rana's gaze traveled to his daughter who was the center of attention. Decorated in a lovely Indo-western dress that added an angelic glow to her, Kashti was happily chatting and laughing with a group of influential people that seemed awestruck by her. The young men, in particular, was very drawn to her smile and bright laughter.

He nodded. Good, that was how a woman should act. She should be party-pleaser, unlike that Kavya who does nothing but stir up trouble!

Seeing her husband quietly observing their youngest daughter, Akhila bit her tongue and held back any complaints she had in mind. She knew it was not the best time to chat here, with so many people watching her and the family.

Deciding it would be better to talk to Vikram alone, Akhila placed her thoughts and opinions aside.

Looping her slender hand through Vikram's arm, the two walked around the room greeting guests and offering their warmest welcomes. The entire time, they kept polite and respectful smiles on their faces as if they hadn't just witnessed their daughter dragged through the mud for a simple accident and misunderstanding.

Knowing it was unwise to comment badly about Kavya in front of couple, many people decided to hold their tongue back and continue to enjoy the night.

And while her parents walked around the room, there was a hidden expression on Kashti's face. Every few minute, she would quickly glance at the hallway leading to the bathroom, as if expecting someone to walk out it.
