Chapter 1497


    After Alvina left, Victoria also quietly followed her to the door of Joseph Grant''s temporary office.


    However, she did not dare go near, and could only peek from afar.


    If she guessed correctly, they would not be together for a long time. Alvina would be chased out.


    Victoria''s fingers clenched tightly, and her fingertips felt as though they were about to pierce into


    flesh. She was both angry and anxious. She wished she had a pair of prating eyes to see what


    was going on inside. She wanted to see how Joseph scolding her.


    However, it was clear that she could not do it, so her heart was at a loss.


    Even if Alvina stayed inside for one more second, it would be torturous to her as though it was on


    fire. Needless to say, she had already been inside for more than ten minutes.


    However, Victoria soon heaved a sigh of relief because she saw Joseph Grante out from afar.


    Just as she expected, Joseph Grant would not stay with Alvina. He might have already started to


    dislike her.


    Victoria was too overbearing. Even though she was not kicked out, she had forced Joseph Grant


    out and even took over his office. It couldn''t be that she nned to stay inside to rest beforeing


    out, right?


    Joseph Grant went to the temporary conference room next door to have a meeting, allowing people


    to keep the door tightly shut, not allowing anyone to casuallye in or out.


    Victoria was so angry that she almost exploded. She felt that Alvina was an unreasonable and evil


    woman, and a man with such cultivation was naturally not going to lower himself to her level.


    However, she upied his office.


    After more than two hours, Alvina was woken up by the rm clock she set earlier. She stretched


    lazily. Rest for a short while relieved her fatigue. She quickly poured a cup of water and washed her


    mouth, then prepared to go out to do some work.


    Just that, when she came out, she immediately met a pair of eyes filled with hatred. Victoria slept for


    a while, but she continued to have nightmares.


    She dreamt that Alvina took the initiative to jump into Joseph Grant''s embrace. She extended her


    hand out to untie the man''s abstinent cor, and even touched his muscr and mature body. Her


    dream made Victoria feel that it was even scarier than anything. Thus, she woke up to see Alvina


    wearing gloves and walking towards outside with a face mask on. She red at her resentfully.


    Alvina ignored her and walked past her, but Victoria angrily grabbed her arm: "Alvina, Why are you


    so shameless"


    Alvina felt that Victoria was a little sick, did she not understand the situation? Even if Joseph Grant


    and he did not love each other, the news of their engagement had already been spread out. Why


    she could not enter his office?


    "Victoria, I don''t want to argue with you!" Alvina flung her hand away and said to her with a cold


    face.


    "Don''t want to argue? Heh, your face is probably as thick as the city walls. You chased him out and


    took over his office?" Just thinking about it, Victoria felt that she was extremely disgusting.


    "What does it have to do with you? He''s my fiancé, what''s wrong with me lending him my office to


    rest? He''s a man, of course, he''d have to give in to me! " Alvina had more than enough excuses.


    "You …"


    "Second Miss, what are you doing?" Just as Victoria was about to p her furiously, the hand she


    raised was grabbed by a man. If she wanted to hit her, she wouldn''t even have the strength to do


    so.


    "Rain, you''re back!" Seeing that Rain had arrived in time, Alvina instantly revealed a happy smile.


    "Eldest Miss, are you alright?" Rain asked her in concern.


    "I''m fine, let her go!" Alvina saw that Victoria''s face was green from anger, and quickly replied.


    Victoria red at Rain with a face full of anger: "Since young, you''ve only helped her speak up and


    do things for her. Do you even have eyes for me, the second young miss? In the end, you''re just a


    dog by my grandpa''s side... What qualifications do you have to stop me from doing anything? "

    "Victoria, if you continue to speak such nonsense, I will make you regret it!" Alvina did not expect


    Victoria''s words to be so unpleasant to hear. She was instantly enraged and fiercely warned her.


    "What is it? Am I wrong? He''s only loyal to you and grandpa. To me, he''s no different from a dog …"


    Victoria said with a look of despise on his face. Her gaze was still sweeping across Rain''s face with


    contempt, and she was truly disgusted as if she was looking at a dog.


    "Victoria, I want you to apologize to Rain!" Alvina angrily grabbed her arm and forcefully pulled,


    causing her to almost lose her bnce.


    "I won''t!" Victoria stubbornly raised her chin with an unyielding expression.


    However, Rain was expressionless. Seeing that Alvina was going to help him, he could only say:


    "Eldest Miss, forget about it!"


    "No, I won''t allow her to mock you like this!" Alvina''s attitude was also excited. She stared at Victoria


    angrily, and asked sternly: "Apologies!"


    Victoria had never seen Alvina this angry before, her eyes were as cold as a cold knife that could


    cut through her heart. She felt an indescribable chill, and unexpectedly felt a tinge of fear.


    "I''m not wrong, I won''t apologize!" Victoria was still stubborn as always. She had long since disliked


    Rain. She heard her father call him a watchdog every day.


    "Alright, don''t regret it!" Alvina flung her fiercely and let out a coldugh.


    She was very much in favor of Joseph Grant throwing her into the mountains to feed the dogs.


    Rain still did not have any special emotions. Seeing Alvina''s pained face, he could only smile.


    "Rain, let''s go!" Alvina endured the pain in her heart and whispered to Rain.


    Rain nodded and followed her.


    Alvina''s tears rolled in her eyes, but she endured it and said apologetically: "I''m sorry, Victoria is too


    excessive, don''t mind."


    "Don''t worry, Eldest Miss. I don''t take it to heart!" Rain was grateful for her help.


    Alvina exhaled deeply, and said while looking at him with sorrow: "I know that it must be because


    my uncle taught her so. She''s disrespectful to you!"


    "I don''t care. What kind of father she has, what kind of daughter she will be!" Rain''s smile was


    forced. He would be lying if he said that he didn''t care, but if he cared, it would make him


    ufortable.


    "Rain, you followed the group into the mountain to help them. You must be tired, right? I''ll give you


    something to eat, go sit over there and rest!" "Alvina was quite grateful to Rain because he


    rmended himself to help them. With his strength, it will be of help to many people. Alvina truly


    felt that he was a cold—faced and warm—hearted person. Just that, at almost forty years of age, he


    did not even have a family, and did not have any children, making her unavoidably sad. "Young


    miss, no need to trouble yourself. I''ll go eat by myself. Don''t worry about me. " Rain said with a


    smile.


    "Alright, take care of yourself then!" Alvina knew that Rain had a stubborn personality and he


    treated her as mistress, so he didn''t want to ept her help.


    Zoey sat beside Warren Hilton, nning to personally change the medicine for him. When the blood


    —stained gauze was opened, Zoey closed her eyes tightly, she did not dare look at it. She was


    afraid that her tears would fall.


    "It doesn''t hurt!" Warren Hilton thought that he was a thick—skinned man. Seeing that the girl


    beside him did not even close her eyes, he smiled foolishly andforted her.


    "It would be weird if it doesn''t hurt!" Only then did Zoey open her eyes, and unhappily red at him:


    "Endure it, I''ll be as gentle as possible! ""It''s alright. Come at me as you please!" Warren Hilton''s


    ability to endure pain was also first—rate.


    Zoey''s movements were still as gentle and gentle as ever. Seeing her tense face, he couldn''t help


    but grab onto Zoey''s hand. He said in a low voice: "Thank you, Zoey!"


    Zoey did not expect him to suddenly say such warm and polite words to her. Her entire body froze,


    her beautiful eyes quickly drooped down, covering the deep emotions in her eyes, and she feigned


    a nd expression: "Why are you thanking me!"


    "Thank you foring here to apany me through all of this. To me, this is a memory more


    precious than a treasure." This was the first time Warren Hilton said such sweet words for love.


    Before this, he felt that he would never say such words in his entire life. However, he could not help


    but say that because of love.


    Zoey was extremely bashful as she rolled her eyes at him while smiling shyly, "Then don''t forget


    about every single detail. In seven years or even twenty years, I will test you. If you said something


    wrong, I will punish you! "


    "Huh?" Warren Hilton, a dignified man, was so frightened that his face drained of color.


    Is this a woman? You''re being unreasonable? Forcing logic?


    Of course, Zoey was joking with him. She did not expect him to turn pale. When she was changing


    the medicine, his expression was normal, but now, he looked like he was truly scared.


    "Alright, look at how scared you are!" Zoey''s mood was unspeakably good. He should be this


    scared because he cared about her.


    "Zoey, I... I''m afraid that my memory is not good enough to remember so many details. When the


    timees, you''d have to show mercy. " Warren Hilton had already thought of a way out for


    himself.


    "Don''t worry, once we get married, I''ll have your sry card with me. I''ll show mercy to you at all


    costs!" Zoey winked at him again, that mischievous look made Warren Hilton shiver again.


    "I still have to help my sister study. When she graduates, I''ll give you my sry card!" Warren Hilton


    was shocked again. Zoey burst outughing. To think that scaring him was such an interesting thing


    to do, then she seemed to have found the joy of getting married in the future.


    Warren Hilton was helpless at the same time. Seeing her smile like a happy angel, he could only


    laugh dumbly.


    Zoey suddenly took the chance when he was not looking and bent down to quickly kiss his face.


    Warren Hilton''s smile froze. Zoey had already turned around and fled. He couldn''t help but reach


    out to touch the face that she had kissed before. He felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction from


    the bottom of his heart.
