Mr Grant, Please Be Gentle

Blanca seemed to be concentrated on learning how to make rice dumplings in the living room, but her heart was already feeling unsettled.

She didn’t even dare to look up at Matthew just now, but now she felt relieved after Matthew had followed Wilbert into the study.

“Blanca, what are you thinking about? I’ve been calling you a few times. You’ve been absent-minded.”

When Blanca looked up, she saw Carrie’s smiling face. She didn’t know why Carrie would suddenly show her a welcoming manner. But Blanca smiled politely, “No, there was nothing.”

“My dear sister-in-law, what is that on your neck? Did my brother do that? It seems that my brother really adores you!”

Suddenly, Louise squeezed in the conversation sourly. In fact, she wanted to say it a long time ago, but her father and brother were there just now. She didn’t dare to attack Blanca in front of Matthew, but now she could speak up her mind without worries, “You know, Blanca, you really amazed me. Before marrying you, Matthew never had time for any woman. I don’t know what you did to make Matthew fall for you. Perhaps it was because that you cast a seductive spell on him?”

Louise’s words were full of ridicule, of course, Blanca knew what she was really trying to say.

Louise was implying that Blanca was a whore.

“Well, maybe it’s because of my natural beauty and charm. After all, my hubby is a gentleman and he definitely doesn’t appreciate women who voluntarily throw themselves at him. So… I don’t think some women will have the chance.”

Blanca didn’t plan on fighting with Louise. She wasn’t going to bear with Louise’s sarcasm so she did the same back to Louise.

Louise felt dumb now and went completely speechless.

“Ahem…” Carrie hurriedly pulled on Louise when she saw this, not wanting her to continue to offend Blanca. It wasn’t like that they didn’t know how much Blanca weighed in Matthew’s heart right now. They didn’t want to and didn’t have to mess their relationship with her at all.

“Louise sweetie, didn’t you tell me last time that you wanted to apologize to your sister-in-law in person? Why don’t you do so now?” Carrie actually just wanted to learn about Blanca’s persona better thru this. It would help her get around with Blanca after all. Even though Louise felt reluctant, she had embarrassed herself in front of journalists and didn’t want to do it again, “I’m sorry.”

Louise said that with a low voice.

Blanca raised her eyebrows when she heard this. She was a person who always aimed to get what she wanted. Since Louise took the initiative to give Blanca the chance to “bully” herself, Blanca would just take it.

Last time Blanca was almost scared the heck out of her…

“What did you say? I didn’t hear you there.” Blanca knew Carrie didn’t invite her here only for a simple family gathering or rice dumpling-making. They must be onto something – It was just that she didn’t know what that was at the moment.

“You! Don’t shame your face!” Louise immediately pointed to Blanca’s nose and cursed.

But just after she finished speaking, she was grabbed by Carrie. Carrie gave Louise a signal. Louise bit her lip before saying anything, “Blanca, my sister-in-law, I’m sorry!”

“Oh… Sorry for what?”

“Sorry, that…” Louise didn’t expect Blanca would act so aggressively. But considering the pressure from Carrie and what they were up to, Louise went ahead and said softly, “Blanca, I didn’t send Clark White. I did hold a press conference and cleared that up already per Matthew’s request. Can you believe me on that? I mean it.”

Funny!

The sun would come out from the west if Louise really meant her apologies. Blanca waved her hand, she was about to move on from that. But Louise suddenly rushed over to hold Blanca’s arm tightly, tears overflowed from the corner of her eyes, and she cried hoarsely, “Sister-in-law, you can hit me or scold me anyway, but please save my cousin Jim, please? After all, Jim is the son of our second uncle, the younger brother of Matthew – blood is thicker than water. You provoke them like this, would you not get afraid of bad retribution? Ah…”

As Louise was saying, suddenly the whole person of herself fell towards the corner of the table, only hearing a loud sound of falling, her forehead knocked on the corner of the table, and the blood started dripping.

Blanca’s heart trembled, staring blankly at her hand released by Louise.
