Blanca Roach stood up and looked at Shelly from top to bottom, frowning in question.
“Miss Shelly, I kindly helped you, how can you open your mouth and make false accusations, weren’t you the one who insisted on standing in front of me just now?”
More and more people were standing around watching the fun, and there were even media holding cameras and squeezing in.
Shelly’s face turned red, not knowing how to end the situation.
The James family’s daughter, who came back from studying abroad, couldn’t just be made a joke of.
When she was still torn, a voice suddenly interjected.
“Sorry sister-in-law, I didn’t watch Shelly and gave you trouble.”
Jim Grant walked out of the arena and pulled Shelly up from the ground with an icy and unemotional smile.
“We’re going in first.”
Blanca Roach nodded and didn’t say anything else.
This was the first time Jim Grant had ever properly called her “sister-in-law,” but she didn’t feel happy about it.
She wanted to stay away from people like Jim Grant, and now that he and Shelly were on the same page, she should stay away.
Isabel, who had witnessed the whole thing from the sidelines, walked up to Blanca Roach and complained.
“What’s with Shelly and coming here to get you in trouble when you’re with Jim Grant?”
“That’s okay.” Blanca Roach smiled and patted Isabel’s hand, “The most important thing now is to get the launch done and not have anything go wrong.”
“Mmm.”
Isabel nodded and returned to her original position, guiding the people who were blocking the entrance earlier inside.
When the doorway was slightly clearer, Blanca Roach saw the person coming towards her and her heart thumped.
It was Paddy!
She had promised Matthew Grant just the other day to keep her distance from him, so she must not give him the wrong impression this time.
Paddy was dressed in a white suit and stood out among a bunch of businessmen with big bellies, attracting the attention of the media cameras.
He smiled lightly and walked straight up to Blanca Roach, looking down at her.
“Congratulations, the new product launch is finally open.”
“Yeah, it was so hard.”
Blanca Roach squeezed out a small smile, kept her distance, and reached out to indicate the door.
“Brother Paddy, why don’t you go in first and I’ll have the waiter show you to your spot.”
“No panic, I have something to give you.”
Paddy could see that Blanca Roach was keeping her distance from him, hooked a gentle smile, and graciously took out his gift and handed it to her.
“This is a gift for you, wishing you success with your new launch.”
This made Blanca Roach feel a little embarrassed, if she didn’t accept it, on the contrary, it was to look like she was petty.
And she was the one who kept her distance from the beginning to the end, and Paddy never said anything.
She nodded and took the gift.
“Brother Paddy, thank you, and specially prepare a gift for me.”
“You should.” Paddy waved his hand and gestured to the gift box, “Don’t you want to open it and take a look?”
“This … is fine.”
Blanca Roach originally did not want to open it in public, but after saying so, she had to open the box.
Inside the box lay a diamond necklace, not to mention the number of diamonds on it, just by looking at the design of the necklace you know it is worth a lot of money.
Although she had designed and seen a lot of jewelry, but she could not just accept this necklace from Paddy for nothing.
“Brother Paddy, I can’t accept this.”
Paddy smiled lightly, not caring.
“Since I said it’s for you, I can’t take it back.”
