Chapter 1400
Tonight was a big day for the Grant and Miller families. The Grant family''s parents officially came to
the Miller Family to discuss the engagement. This could also be considered as a meeting between
the two families.
The Old Master Miller had already mentioned this to Alvina, so of course Alvina did not dare forget
about it. So, after the shift, she drove the car and went straight to the Miller Family.
Returning to the Miller Family, she found her grandfather sitting in the living room drinking tea. Her
two uncles were there too, and not only that, her two younger cousins were also there.
"Let''s go upstairs and change into a better set of clothes. Don''t wear this work attire, it''s a bit
undignified!" Old Master Miller said to Alvina seriously. She was too simple and elegant in her work
clothes, it did not match her identity as the young miss of Miller Family.
Alvina replied and headed upstairs.
"Victoria, Amy, you two go up and check for your elder cousin as well. You must make her dress up
well; you can''t embarrass our Miller Family." The second son of Miller Family, Nathan, said with a
face full of good intentions.
With these words from his father, Victoria immediately pulled Amy''s hand: "Come, let''s go upstairs
and take a look!"
Old Master Miller did not say anything, although on the surface, the family was friendly, but behind
their backs, there were always fights over jealousy and such, and was sure that he could handle
such small matters.
Alvina opened the wardrobe and found that the beautiful clothes were basically all moved away to
Joseph''s home.
Alvina pouted her lips. On the rows of clothes racks, she still chose a demure looking long dress to
wear, but sadly, the beige long dress was too in, without any ornaments, and just as she was
worrying, Alvina heard footsteps behind her, following that, Victoria and Amy stood behind her.

"Cousin, this dress of yours looks like it was wornst year. Will it be out of date now?" Victoria only
had the qualifications to mock Alvina''s clothes, which were not fashionable enough.
"You were right to remind me. Looks like I''ll have to ask grandpa for pocket money again. Look at
my wardrobe, it''s too shabby." Alvina tidied her long hair and revealed a bored expression.
When these words came out, the two younger cousins stared straight at Alvina. They had always
felt that Alvina was a prodigal, and would only ask their grandfather for money every day. Every
time, her grandfather would always give her a lot of money.
"I''m not saying that your clothes are ugly. Actually, if you look carefully, your clothes are pretty good
too. They look very gentle and dignified." Victoria immediately changed his expression and praised
her with a smile, then even prodded Amy with her hand.
Amy also quickly followed in praise, "That''s right; it''s very obvious of your figure, and also looks very
nice on your skin."
Alvina knew that they hade to fawn on her, so he was afraid that she would ask her grandfather
for the money.
"Originally, this set of clothes was adorned with a pendant, but now, who knows where it has fallen
to." As Alvina said this, her beautiful eyes turned towards Victoria as he said this: "Victoria, the
pendant that you''re wearing on your chest seems to have been borrowed from me as well. Return it
to me now; I''m going to use it!"
On Victoria''s chest hung a crystal swan iid with a diamond, it was extremely beautiful and
dazzling. Victoria especially liked it, which was why she wore it today.
But she seemed to have forgotten something, to its origin owner.
"I still have a lot of pendants. I can take them and give them to you to choose from. Just give me
this pendant." Victoria immediately smiled, wanting to beg her to not take it away.
"That won''t do. I only like the things that I choose myself. This pendant of yours, back then, I also
picked it up a long time before I bought it." Alvina said, and immediately went to grab it, but Victoria
did not dare to make a sound.
"Cousin, don''t be so stingy, what can you do about it? It''s not expensive anyway!" Amy immediately
cried out for Victoria.
Looking at the mirror, Alvina fixed the cor of her dress. When the diamond swan was put on, it
really did add a touch of elegance to her dress.
"I''m sorry, I usually don''t lend out things I like unless it''s something I don''t want." Alvina answered
self—consciously. Towards his two younger cousins, she was very stingy.
"Alvina, are you deliberately targeting me? Isn''t it just a pendant? What''s so great about it? Do you
think I can''t afford it? " Victoria felt wronged, her eyes werepletely red, the reason she was so
well—matched today was because Joseph woulde overter, and now that Alvina had
snatched the pendant away, she felt like he had failed.
Alvina rolled his eyes at her: "I didn''t say that you can''t afford it. I''m just wondering, since I''m
engaged tonight, and you''re all my cousins, shouldn''t you to be ornament apany me?"
"What right do we have to be ornament? It''s not certain who Joseph would like." Victoria
immediately snorted angrily.
Alvina was in the midst of putting on earrings when she heard her words. She suddenly turned her
head and stared intently at Victoria: "What did you say?"
Victoria was just a little angry, that''s why she said such an unreasonable thing. By the side, Amy
was already tugging at her clothes fiercely, using her eyes to signal her not to speak nonsense in
front of Alvina.
"Nothing, you''re right. Tonight, you are the main character, and you are the most beautiful. We are
all secondary!" Victoria was smart, she knew that she could not show off, and could not speak
carelessly, if not, her grandfather would definitely be angry.
Alvina continued to put on the earrings, lowered his head, packed up his makeup, and smiled
coldly: "Even if I don''t want my things, I won''t give them to anyone else. Men are the same, I know
what you guys are scheming, and it''s all because you can''t stand watching me marry Joseph right?
But you must think this through clearly. He is your future brother—inw, if there is any scandal,
our Miller Family''s reputation will be ruined. "
"You don''t love him, why would you marry him? Are you a masochist?" Victoria immediately frowned
and mocked her.
Alvina answered her unhurriedly: "Even if it''s a torture, it''s my own problem. You don''t have to
worry!"
“I think you are mentally ill. I can tell, you must have your eyes on Joseph''s potential, once he
bes the President, you will be the legitimate First Lady. When that happens, how glorious it will
be, you won''t even be someone who loves him, you will only have his power.” Victoria''s belly full of
anger was nowhere to vent it. At the moment, she could not hold it in and started to curse loudly.
Alvina turned his head and stared at her,ughing coldly: "Do you only now understand what kind of
person I am? It''s toote. That''s right, even if I don''t like him, I still have my eyes on his power. I''ll
find a people who have great power to take advantage of. Everyone understands this logic. "
"If Joseph knew what you were thinking, do you think he would marry you?" Victoria immediately
mocked, even maliciously wanting to record down all of what Alvina had said, so that Joseph could
personally hear why he had to marry her.
"It''s just the three of us today. If he finds out, it''s either you or Amy who said so." Alvina was not
afraid of her threats at all. She was already fully dressed, and walked towards the Walk Outside,
step by step: "Miller Family''s reputation is one; you think you can get over me if you destroy me?"
"You … What are you being arrogant for?" Victoria was so angry that she almost rushed over to hit
Alvina.
Amy held her in her arms and pulled her firmly backwards. At the same time, she advised her
anxiously: "Sis, calm down. Today is an important day, so you can''t tear it up with her."
"Don''t stop me, I''m going to rip her mouth apart. I want to see how she can continue being so
arrogant." Victoria said angrily.
"Let her be arrogant. When she criester, a woman will marry a man that doesn''t love her. This is
the same as losing her life. She definitely won''t live a good life." Amy advised Victoria with good
intentions.
"Haven''t you heard of her? She can choose not to love Joseph, but she can obtain the power she
wants, don''t you understand? You are really silly, out of all the treasures that the Miller Family will
have in the future, she will definitely hold the heaviest of them all!" When Victoria said till the end,
she lowered her voice and gritted her teeth.
"Ah, it''s not that serious!" Amy''s heart was already pounding, but she pretended to be ignorant.
"It''s very serious. Let me tell you, if Alvina were to seed in marrying Joseph, who could control
her? " Victoria said angrily.
