Thinking of Blanca’s pretty face and the way Matthew looked at her, Louise wanted to pour a bottle of sulfuric acid on her.
Carrie thought about it for a while and shook her head. “No, this only causes unnecessary troubles. If someone finds out what happens, we’re done.”
“But they got married already. What should I do?” yelled Louise.
“They can get divorced. How do you think I got rid of that woman and got into the Grant family? I’ll talk to your dad. Don’t rush anything, remember?”
Carrie patted her shoulders and walked across the hallway. She followed Matthew and Blanca and headed to the backyard.
Matthew’s father, Wilbert, was in the backyard reading the company's quarterly report.
Matthew grabbed Blanca’s hands and came to his father, “Father, this is Blanca.”
Wilbert put aside the laptop and looked at her.
Even though he was in his fifties, he still looked young with a pair of sharp eyes. Blanca could tell where Matthew’s pride and coldness came from.
Facing such a gloomy father-in-law, Blanca felt a little uneasy. She felt like he could see right through her soul.
He seemed to know what she was thinking about.
“Nice to see you, Sir.”
They made an agreement that she wouldn’t call him father until the wedding ceremony. They wanted his parents to get used to it.
After all, they had never met this daughter-in-law who came up out of nowhere.
Wilbert nodded, “Matthew got married with you recklessly because of the pressure from the media. But the Grant family won’t be so rash. Rest assured, Miss Roach, there will be a big ceremony.”
Blanca answered politely, “It’s okay. I’ll put myself at your disposal.”
Wilbert seemed to be quite satisfied with her attitude. He smiled at her and then put his poker face back on. He said to Matthew, “Have you checked the Empire Group's ranking in Asia?”
