“Blanca? Blanca?”
“Huh? You called me?” At the dinner table, Blanca suddenly heard a voice and saw Matthew looking at herself from across the table, she squeezed out a smile and added some food to Matthew, “You must be exhausted from the company today, eat more.”
“What’s wrong with you? You seem to be distracted all the time today.” Matthew’s eyebrows twitched and he put down his chopsticks.
He came home from work today, but since Matthew entered, it was obvious that Blanca was not in her element.
“It’s nothing. Probably a little nervous about joining the company soon, you know Alan that is a big company.” Blanca squeezed out a smile and looked at the white porcelain bowl of millet porridge, “That, I’m full, I’ll go back and take a shower first, you take your time.”
Watching Blanca go upstairs lost, so slim back fell in Matthew’s dark eyes.
He asked Mrs. Brown.
Mrs. Brown told him the truth.
The first time Blanca went upstairs, she received a call from Peter, who said he had received a video surveillance from Matthew’s assistant, which clearly captured Louise and Salome behind the scenes.
Peter originally wanted to publish the video directly, but thought that the recent storm has almost stopped, if you want to take out to publish I’m afraid it will cause a furore again.
The reason why Matthew did not publish, but forwarded the video to Peter, is probably also due to this point of consideration.
Once the video was spread, then Louise… represented The Grant family, and the status and stock reputation would be affected.
“Is it that serious?”
Blanca sat on the edge of the bed and listened to Peter’s analysis of the pros and cons.
Peter’s voice was clear and inexplicably gave a sense of security, calming Blanca’s heart.
Yes, Louise is The Grant family after all, and this matter is considered … family scandal. After all, the headline “sister-in-law knocked out her sister-in-law and sent her to a strange man’s bed” will, I’m afraid, put Blanca, Peter and The Grant family on another level of the limelight.
So, Peter hesitated too.
“The power of public opinion should not be underestimated, I can only say that this matter depends on you, Blanca, at least publish it will make you clear.”
Peter actually is nothing, the key is Blanca is not only a woman, but also a married woman, so this matter has a great impact on her.
“Then let’s leave it.” Blanca pink like cherry lips moved, finally as relieved smile, “anyway, we know in our hearts we are innocent is enough.”
“Then …”
“That’s all for now, Peter thank you.” Blanca smiled bitterly.
After hanging up the phone, Blanca sat by herself on the edge of the bed in silence, she hadn’t gone out all afternoon, Dr. Karen said she had better have a full examination, but where was Blanca’s courage? She was just a girl, why should she suffer the pain of losing her son and then have to endure this?
The smile on Blanca’s lips became more and more bitter.
Her fingers slowly rested on her belly, and her eyes were gray.
In the evening, Matthew took a bath and got into bed, taking Blanca into his arms, “What are you thinking about?”
“Nothing …”
Matthew’s hand had lifted the thin nightgown on Blanca’s body, but was held down by Blanca, “Don’t, Matthew, let’s sleep.”
