Blanca Roach frowned, glanced at the clock hanging above the living room, and sounded puzzled.
“The party just started a short time ago, won’t you sit down for a while?”
“It’s good that the thought has arrived.” Charles White helped Selina down from the stool and lowered his voice, “And Selina, she’s inconvenient.”
The comment made Blanca Roach even more puzzled, and by the time she responded the two men had already left.
Matthew Grant reached out and waved his hand in front of her, his thin lips parted lightly.
“People are gone, don’t look.”
“What do you think the two of them are really about?”
Blanca Roach stared blankly in the direction they had left and looked back at Matthew Grant with a face full of incomprehension.
“Don’t think so much about it.” Matthew Grant hooked his lips and smiled lightly as he got his glass in his hand and scanned the room, “I’m going to go socialize first or some people are going to break their necks later.”
“Well, you go ahead.”
Blanca Roach seemed to feel that “hot” gaze, squeezed Matthew Grant’s fingers, and watched him leave.
Most of the people who had come to the party had come to get in touch with The Grant family.
She sat down where she was and saw Paddy walking towards her, hooked the corner of her mouth and spoke in a gentle tone.
“Brother Paddy, I didn’t expect you to really come over.”
“Since President Grant invited me, I am sure I will come, just so I can meet a few more people.”
Paddy hid the layer of loss under his eyes, shaking his wine glass and smiling lightly.
Perhaps he had really underestimated Blanca Roach’s status in The Grant family and Matthew Grant, but that was also the reason why Matthew Grant had invited him to the 100th birthday party.
But it was because he wanted him to know how important Blanca Roach was to him.
Blanca Roach was about to speak again, but somehow a group of rich wives and ladies came and laughed harshly.
She swallowed back what she was going to say, and Paddy and her silently agreed not to speak again, and the two of them listened quietly for a while.
“Hey, don’t you think Blanca Roach made a big splash today?”
“That’s not true. She came down here with Alan Grant in her arms, and you can’t find anyone else in the whole of S-town.”
“If you ask me, Blanca Roach is only a few days away, the baby is born, how can a man not find another woman, not to mention Matthew Grant, the whole of S City women for him, is not just a matter of hooking hands.”
“You’re right, that’s all she’s got, and she’s got a girl.”
…
Blanca Roach’s face became more and more gloomy, the hand on the table clenched up tightly, eyes containing anger.
What to say to find a woman also forget, but also to talk about her Alice, this let her how to tolerate?
The corners of her mouth raised a suitable arc, turned around with her orange juice, and spoke lightly.
“What is everyone talking about? The conversation is so lively.”
“Who is it! Which one of them is so rude!”
A group of people were chatting enthusiastically, suddenly interrupted by others more or less defeated, plus their identity, someone frowned and turned around to scold.
But after she saw the person who interrupted behind her, she was first shocked and changed her face at any moment, with a heartfelt tone.
“Mrs. Grant, you are so here?”
“Me? I’ve been here a long time, and listened to a little of what you were saying by the way.”
The group’s faces all changed and they all lowered their heads, not knowing what to say.
Speaking of which, there is no family or company in S City that can be compared to The Grant family, and no matter who is present, no one dares to mess with them easily.
Now that bad words are being said on the spot, no one dares to act rashly.
