Chapter 1223


    Amanda Addison''s pretty face changed, and her expression became serious. Looking at her father,


    she frowned and said: "Father, do you betray my grandfather? When you married my mother, didn''t


    you say that you would always be on the same team as my grandfather?"


    "Who tell you that?" A hint of unease shed across Gabriel Addison''s face.


    "My mom tells me!" Amanda Addison sat down on a chair to the side, and looked at her father. In


    her eyes, her father was in high spirits and was capable of anything before, but now, he had


    suddenly be old, and also old. She was sad about it.


    Gabriel Addison was instantly angered and reprimanded her with a heavy tone: "Whatever your


    mother says is right. You and your brother just listen to your mother. Do I have the right of speech in


    our family?"


    Amanda Addison signed: Of course not. Dad, I know you are not happy at all in this family, Mom is


    too powerful, and you have been the deputy mayor for so many years, so mom probably has too


    high expectations for you, your rtionship has been growing cold over the past few years, I and


    my brother are very worried about you!"


    "I shouldn''t have ..." Gabriel Addison said something but he suddenly turned quiet.


    How could he say that he didn''t want to get married in front of his daughter?


    Amanda Addison''s beautiful face turned white, she angrily stood up: "Then you marry Belle Ann,


    and recognize your bastard!"


    "Amanda!" Gabriel Addison was so frightened that his expression froze, he wanted to call out for his


    daughter, but Amanda Addison mmed the door hard.


    Gabriel Addison sat on the chair in defeat, supporting himself with his hands, he looked dejected


    and lost.


    Yes, if he had not coveted for glory and fame, then perhaps he would not live such a miserable and


    miserable life today. Belle Ann was a good woman, strong and independent, and also loyal to her


    friends. It should have been worth for him to cherish her. Unfortunately, it was toote to go back to


    the time when they knew each other and loved each other.


    The noon sun was shining in the quiet garden. There was an elegant balcony with a few tables and


    chairs on it. Thezy afternoon always gave people a rxed attitude.

    At this moment, there were three iparably elegant men sitting under the umbre. They were


    having lunch together as they discussed countermeasures.


    Today''s gathering was initiated by Edwards. Next to him was the Vice-President, Joseph Grant, and


    opposite to him was the manager of William Group, Leo William.


    Because William Group was suppressed before, and he was rmended by Edwards, Leo


    William officially stood with Joseph Grant''s team, so, for the sake of their future development, the


    three of them were friendly and cherished.


    "Gabriel Addison has been spying on the position of the mayor and hase to ask me for help.


    However, due to personal grudges, I really do not wish for him to be the mayor." Leo William picked


    up his coffee and took a sip. After the official business was finished, he mentioned about his private


    matters.


    Edwardsughed lightly: "Gabriel Addison''s talent is mediocre; he doesn''t have the ability to sit in


    this position. Moreover, his father-in -w is also a representative of the presidential party, I believe


    that if Vice -President have the chance to choose someone, he would definitely not take Gabriel into


    consideration."


    Joseph Grant nodded and said "I would not take the people who belongs to other party into


    consideration. Don''t worry, Mr. William. As long as you are not willing to allow him to ascend to the


    position, I will do my best to deal with him! "


    "Then I''ll have to trouble Mr. Grant!" Leo William was revenging for his own woman. It was why he


    blocked Gabriel Addison''s future. Gabriel''s abandonment of that year caused Belle Ann and her


    daughter to be ridiculed in every way possible and made his beloved woman feel inferior and


    frightened since she was a child. It was just the personal resentment. Let alone hinder his career,


    even if it took half his life, Leo William would not hesitate to do so.


    The atmosphere during the lunch was very good. After it ended, because Joseph Grant was busy


    with work, he left first, Edwards and Leo William chatted casually.


    The reason why Joseph Grant left in such a hurry was not because he needed to rush back to take


    care of his official affairs, but because of a person.


    It was the first day that Alvina Miller worked. Joseph Grant didn''t know how she was adapting to the


    situation, but for some reason, he started to worry about her.


    As a new person, Alvina Miller had topensate all of the new persons for any sudden incidents


    that might happen on the first day of work. For example, she was flustered, her brain could not keep


    up with her legs, she was in a hurry, and her works were in a mess.


    Every day, foreign guests woulde to do business. Alvina Miller always thought that the


    reception work at the front desk should be very leisurely, but when it was really done, she found that


    everything should be done carefully.


    "Alvina Miller, you go clean up in Conference Room 5. A guest ising over for a meeting!" Her


    immediate superior was a beauty with a beautiful temperament. She hurriedly walked over and


    gave the order to Alvina Miller, who was about to raise her cup and drink water.


    Alvina Miller quickly put down the cup of water and rushed to Conference Room 5. However, she


    couldn''t find Conference Room 5 right away. She was really a road nut.


    Alvina Miller perplexedly bit her lower lip, and had to look backward and ask a staff member who


    was walking past, and then found Conference Room 5. There were just some guests in the room for


    leisure. The tea cups and water bottles left in the conference room need to be cleaned up quickly.


    Alvina Miller''s movements was nimble, she picked up the tray quickly, and when she was about to


    leave, she suddenly bumped into someone.


    The remaining coffee and tea in the cup sttered onto the other party''s proper suit.


    "Sorry, sorry ..." Alvina Miller''s subconscious action was to apologize before bending over to pick up


    the cup.


    "Mr. Vice-President!"


    Just as Alvina Miller''s hand touched the cup, arge hand picked up the cup before her.


    Immediately, a hurried and terrified voice came out of the side of Alvina Miller''s ears.


    It was her boss, a woman named Carl ck. She looked pale from fright, and quickly ran over to


    help.


    "Alvina Miller, how are you walking? It is you who make Vice-President''s suit dirty. You are clumsy! "


    When Carl ck came over, she immediately berated Alvina Miller for being rash. After that, she


    quickly turned her head and nervously lowered her head to apologize to Joseph Grant: "Mr. Vice-


    President, I am inexperienced enough to allow my subordinates to dirty your clothes!"


    "I''m fine!" When Joseph Grant saw Alvina Miller getting scolded, Alvina''s face slightly flushed, and


    her head was even lowered, not even daring to look at him. For some unknown reason, his heart


    ached a little, Joseph really didn''t know whether it was right or wrong to arrange her to work here. If


    he had known this situation, he should have asked her stay at home, drink tea and go online.


    "Mr. Vice-President, I''m sorry. I will definitely work properly next time!" Alvina Miller received the


    threat in Carl ck''s eyes and quickly apologized.


    "Since she''s new, it''s understandable for her to be in a hurry. There''s no need to scold her anymore,


    just train properly!" Of course, Joseph Grant couldn''t be amiable to Alvina Miller or protect her in


    this situation. Therefore, his voice didn''t sound warm either, making people''s hearts beat faster


    when they heard it.


    "Yes, your clothes are dirty, do you want to ..."


    "It''s fine, I''ll take care of it myself!" After Joseph Grant said that, he turned around and was about to


    leave, just at this time, his aide-de — camp hurried over: "Sir, there are still three minutes until the


    meeting, let’s go this way!"


    When Alvina Miller and Carl ck heard this, their expressions changed greatly. Joseph Grant


    couldn''t be nning to wear a dirty suit to a meeting, right?


    It was over. Something huge had happened.


    Carl ck was a woman who pursued perfection. She was even more meticulous in her work and


    did not allow even the slightest of mistakes to ur. But now, because of this newbie, Vice -


    President made such a mistake, which she was even more unforgivable.


    "Alvina Miller, if anything happens this time, the higher ups will give you a hard time. Leave


    immediately!" Since there were no outsiders present, Carl ck taught the servants a lesson hardly.


    "Yes!" Alvina Miller replied, but she thought that as long as she didn''t want to go, no one should be


    able to get rid of her. Although with Joseph''s support behind her, she was a little proud. But when


    she thought that he was wearing a dirty suit to attend an important meeting because of her mistake,


    she was still very upset. If Joseph lost his face, she felt extremely sorry.


    "I hope everything is fine!" Alvina Miller prayed silently in her heart.
