Chapter 1494


    Hearing that Joseph Grant was angry, Alvina just stood there in a daze. Her beautiful face tensed


    up and revealed signs of unease.


    Victoria stood at the side with her arms crossed in front of her chest, looking like she was watching


    a good show. When Joseph Grant got angry, Alvina was afraid that she would not get anything


    good.


    "Since I am here, of course, I have to meet him. But … How angry is he? " Alvina intentionally


    swallowed her saliva and nervously asked his aide—de—de—camp.


    The aide—de—camp smiled politely and replied to her: "He smashed the cup beside his hand. He


    must be very angry, Miss Miller, take care!"


    "Pfft!" Hearing his reply, Victoria couldn''t help butugh out loud. She looked at Alvina with her


    peach blossom eyes, as if she had foreseen her miserable state.


    "What a waste, the resources here are scarce, he broke the cup." Alvina muttered in a low voice.


    Taking two steps forward, she fiercely turned her head around and stared fixedly at Victoria.


    Victoria was unable to retract the smile on her face in time, she was caught by Alvina, causing her


    smile to freeze on the spot.


    "It''s you … You intentionally called me here? " Alvina was so angry that she took a step forward.


    "I didn''t use a knife to hold you by your neck. You can stay at home. But now, you''re ming me


    instead. Howughable." Victoria scoffed. Her tone filled with ridicule.


    Alvina was furious, and said angrily: "It''s you, Victoria, you are too disgusting!"


    She did not dare to refute a single word after being scolded by Alvina. That was right, she had done


    it with malicious intentions, to see Alvina be a joke.


    " Miss, do you need me to apany you in?" Rain did not know anything, so he was more


    worried. If these two misses were to fight, he would not hesitate to throw Victoria out.


    Alvina was naturally putting on an act for Victoria and the others to see, but she had confidence in


    herself. Even if Joseph Grant wanted to scold her, she would have to bear it. She came here


    without his permission, so she had to take the punishment.


    "Rain, wait for me here. I''ll be right back!" Of course, Alvina didn''t want Rain to follow her, so she


    couldmunicate with him.


    The assistant led her to a house by the side, where Joseph Grant was currently staying. There was


    a circle of guards surrounding and guarding outside. When Alvina walked in, she just happened to


    meet Zoey and a few people in chargeing out.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    She went forward and grabbed her hand, and said happily: "Alvina, I never expected that you would


    come as well."


    "I didn''t expect it either!" Alvina was embarrassed.


    "Let''s go in!" Zoey secretly blinked her eyes at her.


    Alvina''s face turned even more red, as though she had discovered some secret.


    Alvina walked in and found that inside was an office that had been temporarily cleaned up. It was


    very simple and crude, there was no air—conditioning inside, only a pot of charcoal was lit, and it


    was the only thing that warmed up. Joseph Grant was sitting on the sofa beside him, holding a cup


    of fresh coffee in his hand, using it to refresh his spirit.


    He held the cup as he stared unblinkingly at the girl who walked in. His expression seemed to be


    saying, "Who asked you toe?"


    Alvina was already extremely guilty. When she saw the man''s unfathomable and deep gaze, she


    immediately lowered her head, wishing that she could bury her face in her voluminous down jacket.


    Joseph Grant originally wanted to scold her a few times. Seeing that she was shrinking her head,


    he couldn''t think of anything to say. He threw the cup in his hands onto the table, stood up and


    walked towards her.


    "Joseph Grant, I''m sorry!" Seeing him walk over, Alvina finally dared to raise her head and look into


    his eyes. She realized that there was a depressing look around his eyes because he did not have a


    good rest, causing her to be heartbroken.


    Joseph Grant did not say a word. His first move as he walked over was to ruthlessly pull her into his


    embrace, then wrap his sturdy arms around her shoulders and buried his head into her neck.


    Alvina was still waiting for him to reprimand her, but he didn''t expect to receive such a warm hug


    from him.


    "Joseph Grant..."


    "Don''t say anything, let me lean on you!" The man''s voice was still angry, but he was reluctant to


    refuse. He must be too tired, so he wanted to borrow her shoulder to lean on. Alvina did not dare to


    say anything else and stood there without moving. After a long while, Joseph Grant finally let go of


    her hand and let go of her. Then, he reached out to grab her small hand and discovered that it was


    ice—cold.


    "Come and roast the fire! Warm—up!" Joseph Grant said softly.


    Alvina really could not reject the temptation of the fire. She was simply too cold and wanted to


    quickly sit by the side.


    Just as Alvina sat down, the man turned around and poured her a cup of hot water. "Drink some


    water!"


    Without saying a word, Alvina raised her head and drank it up.


    "Why?" The man sat down in the chair beside her, his eyes full of reproach.


    Alvina knew that he had to ask, and she felt wronged, so she decided to tell him the truth.


    "I only decided toe over because I received Victoria''s call. She said that if I didn''te over,


    she would find a way to seduce you. I was afraid that she would do such a shameless thing, so I


    rushed over to stop her. I''m afraid that it might affect your reputation." Alvina said angrily.


    Joseph Grant''s handsome eyes were slightly startled. After a long time, he sneered: "Where did her


    confidencee from, to dare to speak such arrogant words? Everyone here is busy dealing with


    disasters, she''s rather bored, and she still wants to seduce me? And she even provoked you over


    here. I''ll get someone to throw her into the mountains and let her fend for himself! "


    "Really?" Alvina immediately turned her head to look at him, and was pleasantly surprised: "You


    want to throw her into the mountain?"


    "She pissed me off this time. Even if I don''t kill her, it doesn''t mean I can''t punish her severely." He


    was also extremely angry. It was already unforgivable for Victoria to trick his beloved woman into


    coming here. If anything happened to Alvina here, she would be sentenced to death.


    "I also feel that she''s despicable. However, her goal is to lure me here so that I can be ruthlessly


    punished by you." When Alvina heard that someone was trying to avenge her, she was naturally


    overjoyed.


    "After rescuing the victims, I will have someone throw her into the mountains to feed the wolves!"


    Joseph Grant said as he gnashed his teeth.


    "You don''t have to let her feed the wolf. You can let her help. I believe she will work very hard to


    please you." Even though Alvina hated her, she couldn''t take her life. After all, they were from the


    same family. If she died, her grandfather would be sad, and her uncle wouldn''t let her off. They


    should take a different way to punish her.


    "You still want me to contact her?" Joseph Grant frowned. His handsome face filled with


    dissatisfaction.


    "I didn''t say I would let youe into contact with her. She will do her best if you''re here!" Alvina


    snorted lightly.


    "Alvina, I''ll let Zoey apany you back to the city. You don''t need to stay here, it''s very dangerous


    here!" Joseph Grant''s expression turned dark. He looked at her quietly and saw that her beautiful


    face was red from the cold, and he felt his heartache for her.


    "I''m not leaving. I''m going to stay and do my best. I''ve learned how to take care of people in school,


    I can help bandage their wounds and stuff!" Since Alvina came and saw him, he wouldn''t let her


    leave ever again.


    "There are enough people here … I don''t need your help! " After Joseph Grant said that, he paused


    for a moment. It was clear that he was lying, he did not have enough helpers.


    "Are you worried that our rtionship will be exposed? Don''t worry, my acting has already


    improved, I won''t let you see through it." Alvina thought that she was worried about this.


    However, the man suddenly reached over and took her hand. He said in a low voice, "I''m worried


    that you won''t be able to endure this kind of punishment."


    "If you can do it, why can''t I? Joseph Grant, I am not as delicate as you think, I want to stay! "


    Alvina''s other hand grasped over, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared unwaveringly into the man''s


    gaze. The depths of her eyes shone like stars, dazzling and bright.


    Joseph Grant looked at her absentmindedly. After a while, his thin lips raised into a slight smile:


    "Alright, if you want to stay, then stay here. I also don''t seem to be willing to let you go!"


    "Why?" Alvina blushed. She could still look into his eyes just now, but now, she did not dare to do so


    anymore. She lowered her head and allowed her long hair to cover her expression.


    "There''s no reason. I just don''t want you to leave. I want to see you more!" Joseph Grant''s feelings


    right now were also veryplicated. When he was going through death, apart from his family, she


    was the only one he had thought of the most. Everyone else thought that he was not afraid.


    However, he kept that fear in the depths of his heart. He was afraid that he would lose his life and


    not see the important person.


    "Mr. Vice—President talking about love affairs is killing me." Alvina flustered to make fun of him.


    However, Joseph Grant looked at her seriously. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief, tightened the


    grip on herrge hand, and loosened it, "I told Zoey to follow you if you want to help, go help out.


    You need to take care of yourself and prevent the cold. "


    "I brought so many thick clothes. Don''t worry, I''ll be fine. Then…Then I''m going out, I won''t disturb


    your work anymore!" Alvina mischievously smiled at him. Her small hand struggled for a bit, and


    then pulled away from his big palm.


    Joseph Grant stood up and looked at her petite figure wrapped in a thick down jacket, and for some


    reason felt her be cute and pure.


    When Alvina was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something and came back. She quickly


    dipped her finger in the water from the cup and slid it across her face twice, as if she was crying.


    "Don''tugh!" Alvina turned around and mischievously warned the man, then quickly walked


    outside.


    "Ah…Alvina! " Joseph Grant suddenly thought of something. He wanted to remind her, but it was


    toote.


    The moment Alvina walked out of the door, she instantly felt the droplets of water on her face freeze


    into ice.


    However, even if the water on Alvina''s face turned into ice, it wouldn''t stop Victoria from seeing the


    tear.


    Did she cry? Did she cry from being scolded?
