Chapter 1170


    Old Master Miller''s words were like a smack on Alvina''s head. It woke her up immediately. She


    suddenly felt cold. If her grandfather did not remind her, she would not have known that her


    situation was this dangerous.


    Those shares were the living expenses that her father had left her and her mother with. Although


    she did not directly manage thepany, the monthly share of the profits that came to her ount


    was not a small amount. That was why she was able to enjoy spending so much in these years.


    Grandpa loved her, and even ned for her. But she herself was self-righteous. She was still


    pursuing freedom. Alvina suddenly felt that she was very unfilial. She was abashed at being


    unaware of her grandfather''s effort to help her.


    Alvina let out a light breath. The fucking happiness and free love were actually still very far from her.


    The first thing she had to do was save her life.


    If she were to marry Joseph, her uncle wouldn''t dare to take away her shares. She had her reliance


    and money, so she could live a decent life.


    "So it''s just a deal, and I''m still acting as if I’m morally better than other people. To think him as a


    demon and guard against him, what am I?" Alvinaughed at herself. After understanding all of this,


    she decided to apologize to Joseph. She may have hurt him because of her fierce words just now


    Alvina took a deep breath, walked to the door and opened it. Suddenly, she saw Joseph outside the


    door with his hand raised, about to knock, both of them stunned.


    "You want to go out?" Joseph put down his hand that was frozen in midair, and asked with a smile.


    "Do you have any business with me?" Alvina''s voice also became a lot calmer as a pair of beautiful


    eyes lifted up to look at him and ask.


    "Lunch is ready, I want to inform you to go down and eat!" Joseph said in a low voice.


    "Oh, then let''s go!" Alvina''s expression was a little unnatural. Maybe for her heart had changed,


    causing her looking up to Joseph was pleasing to her eyes. When she thought about the future that


    she needed his help with, she could not be rude to him anymore.


    Joseph squinted, seeing that this woman didn''t have that domineering temperament just now, he


    became depressed as well.

    "You''re not angry with me?" Joseph couldn''t help but be curious.


    Alvina bit her lower lip and nodded: "I''ve thought this through clearly, there''s no use getting angry at


    you. Since this is the result of the situation, I might as well get along with you."


    "Did your grandfather tell you something?" Joseph was clever. He knew that her anger would not


    disappear so easily, there must be someone who said something to her.


    Alvina''s face swelled up to the point that it was a little red. Joseph''s eyes were truly sinister and he


    was actually able to see through even this.


    "Yes, I called my grandpa. He said something to me that made me think it through!" Alvina nodded,


    she did not want to hide it from him.


    "What did he tell you?" The two of them walked down the stairs side by side.


    Alvina''s brows furrowed, and asked suspiciously: "Joseph, do you know that I will definitely marry


    you?"


    "I don''t think so!" Joseph replied lightly.


    "But you know my situation, don''t you?" Alvina stopped in her tracks, raised her head and looked at


    him. Her gaze filled withplex emotions.


    Joseph was startled, but after that, he nodded: "I guess you can say that I know something, but it


    doesn''t prove anything. If you really don''t want to marry me, I can''t force you!"


    "If... If I say that I will consider it, would you think that I am very snobbish?" Alvina lowered her eyes


    in shame, not daring to look into the man''s sincere eyes. She felt that her actions before were too


    unruly, and did not pay attention to the big picture at all.


    "No, everyone has their own interests that they have to protect. Aren''t I the same as you? If you can


    think this through, we''ll each take what we need and maybe have a better time." Joseph smiled


    faintly.


    Alvina just so happened to raise her head, and was slightly stunned the moment she saw the corner


    of his mouth raise. Only then did she realize that the way he smiled, was actually also so


    enchanting and beautiful.


    "If you don''t mind my being too snobbish, I''ll try my best to get along with you." Alvina thought about


    her mother who had no power and influence in Miller Family. If she did not rely on her grandfather''s


    love, she would have long been kicked out of Miller Family with her mother.


    "You are aware of the situation. You are truly the daughter of the Miller Family!" Joseph knew about


    the situation in the Miller Family, and had really worried about her before. Now, it seemed that this


    woman was very clever, and knew what the situation was like.


    "I was born in the Miller Family, and I have seen many things. I don''t care about it because I don''t


    like it, but that doesn''t mean I really don''t care about it. I have to ensure my mother''s and my life."


    Alvina sighed, and started to mock herself.


    "To know the wisdom of the world but not sophisticated, your cultivation is not bad!" Joseph rarely


    gave her praise and affirmation. "Don’t tease me. In front of you, I''m afraid I can''t hide my true


    feelings. You''re the one with the best eyes." Alvina didn''t dare show off in front of Joseph.


    "Alright, why do you make me seem to be so scary?" Joseph did not dare topliment her.


    Alvina lowered her head andughed embarrassedly: "I only realized that you''re not scary at all


    after interacting with you."


    "Don''t be so naive. Even if I be your husband in the future, we will still be trading partners. It''s


    better for you to guard against me, lest you cry." Joseph joked.


    Hearing the word "husband", Alvina suddenly blushed.


    Perhaps this unfamiliar word would be so much more familiar from now on.


    The two of them went downstairs and found a table with a delicious lunch on it. They sat across


    from each other.


    Alvina lowered her head and continued to eat, with her heart bing a lot calmer.


    Joseph also ate slowly, elegantly. His every movement and gesture was noble.


    "We still have another tough battle to fight." Joseph suddenly said.


    "What kind of battle?" Alvina looked surprised.


    "Do you think your two uncles will let you marry me so victoriously?" Joseph taunted lightly.


    Alvina''s body froze, a cold chill came from her back, she then asked in confusion: "But, I''ve been


    out for so many days, and they haven''t done anything to me."


    "That''s because you''re running away from the marriage. They felt that you weren''t willing to marry


    me, so of course they were happy to see it happen. But now, when they know that you''re already


    with me, do you think they can still sit?" Joseph''s eyes shed, he felt that he had sessfully


    erected two more enemies. Moreover, all of this was because of this woman in front of him.


    "Then... What will they do to me?" Alvina immediately tensed up and took a sip of water.


    "They will kill you and take over your shares, or ... interfere with our emotional development!"


    Joseph said casually.
