Chapter 1472
Alvina''s mother left just like that, Norman''s days were instantly greeted with a nightmare. He
gloomily ran in front of a man and dejectedly admitted his ipetence, "That woman is about to
die. She packed her luggage and went out to travel abroad to rx. I can''t contact her. Can you
help me find her? I promise, I will fix her again. She is a lonely olddy. A few sweet words will
work, so please give me another chance. I can control her this time, at that time, Alvina will be
enemies with Joseph …"
"Forget it!" The man sitting on the sofa shook the cigar in his hand, took another drag of the cigar,
exhaled a mouthful of smoke, and coldly looked at Norman with his eyes: "You may not know
Mister''s temper, but I do. He never gives others a second chance.. You''re too arrogant and can''t
even grasp a woman''s heart, and you still want a second chance. Do you think this is a market?
There is no room for negotiation. Back then, you were able to snatch property from that rich old
woman because you were young and strong. Now, you are no longer young and still want to use
your body as a capital! "
He was scared. His legs went limp and directly knelt in front of the other party. With a trembling
voice, he said: "Please give me one more chance. I underestimated that woman, it was my mistake.
I overestimated my charm, this time, I promise …"
"There''s no need for your guarantee. Sir likes people who are strict with their work. You have
already alerted her. What if Alvina''s mother discovers your intentions, wouldn''t that implicate me?"
The man directly put out his half—eaten cigar on the table, sneering coldly, " I am still holding your
evidences in my hands. You killed someone, so you should be punished. You can judge for
yourself!"

"I beg of you, please forgive me. I will give you all the money I have. Please let me go. I will
immediately disappear. I definitely will not implicate you!" Norman''s heart almost stopped beating
from the fright. He felt that his death was imminent. He did not want any money. He only wanted to
keep his life.
"Your money is nothing to me. Besides, how many times have you failed to invest all these years? I
don''t need to say how much money you have left. Norman, a person''s luck will notst forever. Your
luck has already ended, ept the truth! " The man snorted coldly and walked in front of him.
"If you don''t give me a chance to live, I will tell everyone about how you took my bribes back then.
Don''t even think about it!" Norman immediately jumped over the wall in a rush, jumping down and
pointing at his back as he cursed.
"Based on what you said alone? Norman, you have wasted all these years. The evidences in my
hands is enough for you to be immediately shot! " The man smiled viciously.
Norman''s entire body went limp. He once again lost his bnce and fell to the ground. Looking at
the man''s unrestrained expression, he felt like he was dead.
"Killing you is as simple as crushing an ant." That person looked at him angrily. "Trash, if you didn''t
still have any value to use, based on the money you gave me back then, I wouldn''t have let you live
this long!"
Norman was extremely terrified, he did not expect the other party to turn hostile so easily, and kill
him just like that.
In the past, Norman didn''t believe he would be punished, and he felt that his fate could be reversed.
But now, he realized that fate was not something that could be held in his hands.
Norman did not expect the date of his death to be on the second day. A group of people brought
him to court, and immediately afterward, the evidence of the car ident that year was extremely
clear, adding that the wealthydy''s children saw him as a thorn in their side. Norman immediately
imprisoned and brought him to trial, and did not even have the chance to meet with his family
anymore.
Joseph saw all of this scene, and the result of his plot was almost the same.
Norman was just a small fry. In the eyes of the person wielding the power, he was just a chess
piece. When he was useful, he would be valuable. When he was useless, he would be like trash, an
eyesore to people, making them want to immediately clean him up.
It rained continuously for a day and a night. The drizzling rain was like a needle, lingering and
making people''s mood gloomy.
Alvina had always been worried about her mother, but when she heard that she was safe, she
calmed down. When she got off work in the afternoon, an unexpected event made it impossible for
Alvina to get off work in time, so she followed Penelope out for social meetups.
And it was also at this time that Alvina saw a short message sound out, containing only a few
simple words. I''ll prepare dinner for you ande back early! "
These normal words made Alvina feel really good. Seems like Joseph was going to be home every
other day, this was something that she had always dreamed of, and it had finallye true.
Unfortunately, she couldn''te back early today. She still had work to do.
"I''m not going back for dinner. I have to apany the guests for dinner!" Alvina moved her fingers
and sent a message over.
She was still thinking that the man would reply to her, but when she arrived in the dining area, there
was no sign of her phone. She thought that her phone was broken, so she took it out and checked it
again and again.
What was going on?
She was baffled.
This time, it was a private meeting between the diplomats from both countries. Penelope brought
her to get to know them, and she would be benefited from them in the future. Penelope would not
bring ordinary people over. Alvina was too pitiful, so she took care of her.
At the table, Alvina was rather generous and decent. She still got a few toasts from others. She
couldn''t refuse them. Moreover, Penelope told her not to refuse, drinking some wine would give her
better mood.
Her boss had even advised her to drink it, how could Alvina not drink it.
Thus, Alvina was a little dazed from drinking because she had an average capacity for alcohol.
On the way back, Penelope''s assistant was driving. Alvina leaned back in the back seat, feeling
dizzy and drunk. Penelope had drunk a lot, but she had a good alcohol tolerance. She was not
drunk, but thought back to the past, her face full of sadness.
"I regret that I didn''t have a child before the divorce. If I had a child, who would dare to persuade me
to marry again? Since I have a child, why should I get married? It''s a pity that right now, I''m alone
and can''t find a ce to borrow a child for myself. Alvina, you''re still better than me. There''s still
plenty of opportunities for you to be young!" Penelope patted Alvina''s arm and advised her.
Although Alvina was drunk, her mind was still clear. Listening to her superior''s words, she felt
indescribably sad for her.
"Sister Penelope, there are still good men in this world. It''s just that we haven''t met yet!" Alvina said
softly.
"Do you still believe in good men? A woman who is too smart is not happy at all. She has seen
through everything and it is hard for her to pretend to be stupid. Even if you can think like this, it
shows that you are simple. The simpler you are, the better your ability to perceive happiness.
Perhaps, I am wrong. Good men still exist, for example, my father… My dad is great. Unfortunately,
I can''t meet someone who loves me as much as he does!" Penelope suddenly covered her mouth
and started crying.
Alvina was at a loss on what to do, she wanted to advise but she didn''t know how to do so.
"Let her cry. Every time she''s drunk, she cries for once. Once she''s done, she''ll be fine!" The female
assistant sighed and said.
Alvina sat at the side in a daze, not knowing what to say. In this world, everyone had their troubles,
who could understand others'' annoyance? Therefore, no one could easily persuade others because
they couldn''t empathize with each other. Alvina got the assistantdy to stop the car in front of the
sentry pavilion hundreds of meters away from the vi. She got off the car and walked inside.
The Assistant Miss saw that she was walking forward alone and that her shadow was dragging
under the street light. She couldn''t help but sympathize her. Even if the man she was going to marry
was a noble Mr. Vice—President, so what?
In the middle of the night, when no one loved or cared for them, it was better to be amoner.
Even if they had no rights or money, at least a room full of people gathered together to make
themselves warm.
Not long after the assistant''s car disappeared, a ck car blocked Alvina''s path forcefully.
