Chapter 198 Bitchy Grandma
In contrast to the more understated beauty of Keith and Keyara, this older woman exuded a captivating, universally-recognized feminine charm. It was clear that she possessed a different kind of allure that set her apart from the others in the room.
Sitting gracefully in a chair, her ample bosom and curvaceous hips emphasized, the woman exuded an undeniable allure. Her slender, elegant hand held a champagne glass, her facial features soft yet marked by a subtle sharpness that accentuated her beauty.
Kevin couldn't help but inquire, "Is she the one you were talking about?"
Keith, with a slightly embarrassed expression, nodded and admitted, "Well, she certainly is beautiful."
Kari, who stood nearby, was perplexed by their conversation and inquired, "What are you two talking about?"
Keith replied, "Nothing," and then turned to Kevin, saying, "Let me introduce you to her."
Kevin nodded and took a closer look at the woman. As he walked toward her, he noticed her silver dress, backless and low-cut, revealing her smooth, curvaceous back and a generous, ivory bosom that was seemingly the same size as Maria's, implying it was quite substantial. Her sharp, mischievous golden eyes exuded an unusual vibrancy for a woman of her age as she conversed with her friends.
They walked towards the woman who seemed to be of the same age as Keith, or at least appeared to be. As they strolled through the crowd, Kevin glanced around and asked out of curiosity, "By the way, who are all these people? Wasn't it just the nine of you going to Chernobog's Den? Why invite such a large crowd?"
The hall was bustling with at least 60 to 70 people, with additional service staff, making it nearly 100 in total. Even if the families of all nine people had come, there shouldn't have been more than 30 attendees.
Kari responded with a touch of disdain in her voice as she cast an appraising glance at the assembly of guests, "These individuals are high-ranking members of our organization. They're here to send us off."
Kevin took a moment to assess the crowd surrounding him. He quickly noticed that every person in the room was a cultivator, boasting at least a cultivation level of 100 Meridiana Links. Some among them had even reached the advanced Qi Consolidation stage. However, their power seemed to pale in comparison to Keyara and her grandmother, who sat regally at the head of the room, the older woman wearing a serene smile as her eyes fixed on Keith. In the midst of this, Keith had inexplicably left Kevin's side, and stood bit distance from him.
"My granddaughter, you're here, and who is this young man supposed to be?" Viana inquired, her gaze scrutinizing Kevin from head to toe, lingering a bit too long at his crotch, seemingly inspecting it. Her friends, although curious, didn't examine him quite as shameless as she did.
Kevin extended his hand toward her, prompting her to shift her attention to his smiling face. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Demtia. This humble one is called Kevin."
Viana extended her hand to Kevin, saying, "Oh, I've heard about you..."
Kevin smiled and replied, "I hope it's all good," leaning forward to kiss her hand.
"You are the one she had been sleeping with, right?" Viana asked, leaving Kevin momentarily speechless, his surprise evident in his wide-eyed gaze as he looked at her smiling face.
Of course, she asked this question about Keith, and Keith's face had become quite flushed, hearing it. And what's more Her friends sitting with her couldn't help but chuckle, and an embarrassed-looking Keith glared at her grandma, saying, "How can you say that, Grandma?"
Meanwhile, Kari, standing with them, looked at Keith with a shocked and betrayed expression, saying in a dismayed tone, "Aunty... don't tell me it's true..."
Keith turned to her dismayed niece and tried to explain by saying, "Kari, it's not like... this... we..."
But before she could explain, Kari said, "It's true..." Her eyes welled up with tears as she ran away from them.
"Kari, don't..." Keith tried to stop her, but she had already run away. Glancing at her grandmother, who appeared as if she had done nothing wrong and was simply taking a sip from her drink, Keith muttered, "Look what you did... bitch." The last word she said under her breath, but everyone heard it, saying this she went after her angry niece.
"See how disrespectful she is to her own grandmother, calling me a bitch?" Viana said with a hint of anger.
'But you are one.' Kevin thought to himself.
"But you are," and a voice echoed his thoughts. Kevin looked in shock and found a gray-haired woman staring at Viana with a touch of annoyance.
"Aren't you, Viana?" Her face wore a smile, but her words left Viana briefly silent, their gazes locked.
The tension was clear in their eyes, but one of their friends spoke and disrupted their face-off. "Hey, you two, shut it. We have company, can't you see? You're making me look embarrassed in front of this fine young man," the woman said, smiling at Kevin.
She continued, "Come here, sit, young man. Ignore these old hags," and pulled him to sit next to her.
"Aren't you also one of them?" Kevin asked, amused, as he took the seat and looked into her black pupils, seemingly trying to devour him, although he knew it was just an illusion.
"Kevin, right?" the woman asked.
Kevin nodded, and the black-haired woman continued, "I am Tara Montero."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Montero," Kevin said, his gaze inspecting her tanned face,
"Pleasure is all mine, but I am still Miss, not Mrs.," Tara said with a smile.
"Apologies, I didn't know," Kevin apologized and continued with a smile. "The pleasure is all mine. I must say, it's not often that I find myself in the company of such accomplished individuals."
Tara acknowledged the compliment with a gracious nod. "We do have quite an interesting group here," she remarked, her dark eyes sparkling with a mix of mystery and confidence.
"let me introduce them to you..." she said with smile and started to introduce everyone one by one.
