Blanca Roach walked into the hall with her head held slightly high, reminding herself that she had to maintain the decency and dignity of the Empire Group even if she was here alone today.
People outside may not be overly concerned about why Matthew Grant is not with her today, but that doesn’t mean people in the hall won’t be too.
Adelina approached her husband, Allison Jacques, on her arm and said with a pretense of affection.
“Blanca, did you come alone? I told you to come with me so you wouldn’t be alone and lose face.”
Blanca Roach maintained a decent smile on her face and glanced at the man standing next to her without moving.
Allison Jacques, the famous cross-dresser of The Jacques family in S-Town, was married to the Adelina family, which was a perfect match.
Blanca Roach noticed that the man had been looking at himself with a strange look since Adelina had come over with him on her arm.
Blanca Roach didn’t like this look, it made her feel uncomfortable.
Adelina also apparently noticed her husband looking at Blanca Roach and even got a little out of it.
She had just mocked Blanca Roach for being a loner, but her husband was staring at her.
This was a public slap in her face!
With Adelina’s old personality, she would have left Allison Jacques, but she couldn’t. She didn’t want to lose face in front of Blanca Roach.
Blanca Roach was not even bothered to retort, she just gave her a sympathetic look and walked past her to the inside.
Adelina squeezed Allison Jacques’ sleeve.
“You better behave yourself out there.”
Allison Jacques’ eyes almost followed Blanca Roach, and he snorted at the words.
“Who do you think you are to get your turn to lecture me?”
“You …”
“You what you, see dislike you today why still follow me over to find uncomfortable, I did not want to bring you at first.”
Adelina almost tore her face off with him, he did not want to bring her here, but he did not want to come alone.
Don’t think she didn’t know that he had found an escort outside and was so enamored by the little bitch that he wanted to bring her to the party.
If she hadn’t found out early, The Yulissa family would have lost all their face to him.
Not yet, she needed to endure, she was still relying on the background of The Jacques family, otherwise how could she compete with Blanca Roach.
Adelina held back her anger, tonight, she wanted Blanca Roach and Allison Jacques, the bastard, to lose their reputation.
Blanca Roach picked up a glass of champagne and sipped it while she was thinking about something.
What Adelina can think of, how can others not think of, maybe everyone here is wondering why Matthew Grant is not present.
People’s hearts are the most unpredictable, today she attended the banquet alone, tomorrow it can be rumored that they do not get along as a couple, but it does not matter, there is still room for redemption.
The dinner went on until 10:00. After Matthew’s business was finished, he would naturally come over, even if it was just to wrap up, it would be enough to prove their feelings for each other.
Thinking of this, Blanca Roach decided it was better to find a few potential clients to promote the studio first.
She already had someone in mind, and among the people coming tonight, Cecelia was the most influential.
Cecelia was laughing with Laurel and Blanca Roach was about to walk towards her.
A woman suddenly bumped into her, spilling cold red wine on her valuable evening gown instantly.
“Ah, sorry Mrs. Grant, I didn’t mean to!”
