Chapter 1416
A strong heart?
Alvina could not help butugh bitterly. She already thought that she was very strong in her heart,
but a few people''s shamelessness would still change her view of things.
Victoria had brazenly run over to her to fight for Joseph. Alvina did not feel threatened at all. After
all, she knew clearly about what Joseph was thinking.
However, even though she knew that she wouldn''t seed, she was disgusted by her shameless
behavior.
When Victoria first arrived at the information system, she immediately attracted everyone''s
attention. This was because she had directly introduced herself as Alvina''s cousin, and Mr. Vice—
President was her future brother—inw. Of course, she wouldn''t be able to curry favor with her.
Victoria was much more mboyant than Alvina, she felt that if it was rted, she should make use
of it.
During lunch time, Alvina could see from afar that Victoria was surrounded by a group of people.
She seemed to have quickly blended in with her colleagues in the office.
Victoria also looked at her from afar, and the corner of her mouth hooked up into a mocking smile.
She had to prove that she was more outstanding than Alvina, no matter if it was in terms of work or
networking.
The future First Lady would definitely be a very sociable woman, Victoria had to reveal her skills in
socializing with others. At that time, if Joseph saw her, she would also like her specialty.
As Victoria eagerly waited, she could not help but ask the female colleague at her side: "Isn''t Mr.
Vice—Presidenting to the cafeteria to eat?"
"Of course they won''te. Mr. Vice—President has such a prestigious identity, so he naturally has
a specialized cafeteria on the third floor. That is a restricted area, so ordinary employees cannot go
there." A female colleague quickly exined to her.
"So that''s how it is!" Victoria was inexplicably disappointed. She had always heard of the personality
of the Mr. Vice—President''s loved ones, and thought that she would be able to see him in the
canteen.

"Victoria, I heard that your cousin is too close with the Mr. Vice—President. Is that true?" Someone
on the side immediately began gossiping.
Victoria lightly snorted, "Do you all still need to ask me? Anyone with eyes can see that my cousin
has some kind luck. She ran into such an outstanding man! "
"Victoria, you don''t seem to like your cousin very much. Is your rtionship not good?" Another
colleague became curious.
"It''s not that I don''t have a good rtionship with her, but that she was too narrow—minded. Relying
on my grandfather''s favor, she looked down on others and didn''t even put me, her little sister, in her
eyes." Victoriaughed coldly again, and when she told Alvina the worst, she suddenly felt wronged
and helpless.
Everyone understood some of Alvina''s personality''s ws from Victoria''s mouth as they cast cold
and mocking nces at her.
Alvina gazed at Victoria from time to time, and when she opened her mouth and spoke nonstop, she
was truly worried that she would say something bad about herself.
The office was neither big nor small. If there was to be gossip about someone, it would be like a
gust of wind blowing past. Within a day, it would be able to reach every corner of every department.
It was truly terrifying.
However, with the mouth on someone else, it was impossible for Alvina to defend herself against
her. She also did not expect Victoria to say something good and only hoped that she did not say it
too harshly, or else, she would really tear her mouth apart.
During the lunch break, Alvina received a call from his grandfather.
"Alvina, I heard from your second uncle that Alvina was also hired to work in the office. Have you
seen her?" Old Master Miller gently asked her.
"She came to see me!" Alvina''s heart was in a mess, she really wanted to exin Victoria''s
shameful thoughts to her grandfather, and let her grandfather speak up for her. But she didn''t dare
say, her grandfather''s health was not good, if he really angered her to the point of breaking her
body, then that would be her fault.
Victoria would let her do it if she wanted to, just treat her as a clown, and ignore her.
In her heart, her grandfather was the most important person. She didn''t want her grandfather to
suffer the anger of these shameless viins.
"You''re not as calm as me. Since you work at the same ce, as your sister, if there''s anything you
need to take care of at work, you can let her." The Old Master Miller advised her gently.
"Yes, Grandpa, don''t worry." Alvina replied softly.
"Regarding your rtionship with Joseph, you guys can take control of yourselves. Grandpa can''t
decide on your decision anymore." Old Master Miller said with a smile.
"Grandpa …" Alvina pouted, a little embarrassed.
"Alright, grandpa won''t tease you guys anymore. I''m hanging up!" Seeing her granddaughter was
embarrassed, Old Master Miller did not say anymore and hung up.
Penelope suddenly walked out of the office, and anxiously said to Alvina: "Get ready, we need to go
to the doorter."
"Sister Penelope, where are you going?" Alvina hurriedly asked.
"The higher—ups have decided on the spur of the moment that the Mr. Vice—President will lead the
team and invite the foreign leaders and several foreign guests to the martyr''s garden to pay their
respects." As Penelope said till here, her gaze couldn''t help but pause on Alvina''s face for a
moment: "If you don''t want to go, then I''ll call someone to follow me."
"No, I want to go!" Alvina hurriedly stood up and replied her in a hurry.
"Aren''t you embarrassed?" Penelope asked with a smile.
"I won''t, I won''t make things difficult for you!" Alvina hurriedly shook her head.
Penelope signed, "If you want to avoid the strong, then forget it, let''s make ourselves feel better!"
"That''s great!" Alvina couldn''t help butugh. If she had the chance to see Joseph again, she would
definitely not miss it. Not even once.
Penelope nodded his head: "Then let''s hurry up and prepare. In ten minutes, we will wait at the
entrance of the hall."
"Alright!" Alvina hurriedly packed his necessary tools and walked outside quickly after following
Penelope.
Actually, Alvina was still rather busy, all day long; it was either this or that. Moreover, everything was
very important, there couldn''t be any mistakes.
It was just that she did not have many opportunities to meet Joseph at work. Although she had
asked for an important job from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Joseph''s job was far beyond what
she could imagine.
Alvina followed behind Penelope and waited at the entrance of the hall for a few minutes. Then,
they saw a group of people walking over from the elevator.
Joseph was dressed in formal attire; his demeanor was clean and noble with a gentle smile on his
face. Even though he was a modest gentleman, he had a powerful aura that could not be ignored,
and his existence could not be ignored.
The moment Alvina saw him, her heart was filled with indescribable emotions; happiness,
excitement, warmth, and attachment.
All sorts of emotions mixed together, causing her eyes to feel slightly hot.
Joseph''s gaze seemed to casually look towards Alvina''s direction, but when he saw her obediently
standing there with his head lowered, an unspeakable pain arose in his heart.
With someone following her, Joseph''s gaze could not unduly fall on her body.
Alvina did not dare to look straight into his eyes because her eyes had turned red. She was afraid of
letting Joseph discover the sorrow in his heart.
"What''s wrong?" Penelope was very close to her, and the moment he turned around, she saw her
desperately suppressing the tears in her eyes, she immediately asked her in astonishment.
"No …. It''s nothing, the sand is blowing into my eyes!" Alvina could not help but be vexed at herself.
She was clearly a heartless person in the past, why did she feel so wronged and weak at the sight
of him?
Had her state of mind really changed? With the people she cared about, she became weak.
Penelope did not believe her words, where did the sande from?
The so called sand was just Joseph.
As Alvina sat on the carriage, her gaze never left the carriage because the man whom she liked
was right on top of that carriage.
When this foreign leader arrived at her destination, she found out that there was a huge political
reason why she wanted toe and pay respects. Alvina was only a small part of the group; she
could only do her job well.
Alvina saw Joseph and the foreign leader were walking while chatting with each other, the
atmosphere around them had be more sorrowful. Penelope was also chatting with the foreign
guests about the story of the Martyr''s Garden.
