Chapter 1536
Just as Alvina finished speaking, he heard a gunshoting from outside the door, frightened and
hurriedly covered her ears. Unfortunately, this door was reinforced and it had been specially treated
so that the bullet couldn''t prate it. The man seemed to have gone crazy. He grabbed a chair
and threw it towards the door. However, the moment he raised the chair up, a bodyguard rushed in
and shot him in the back.
"Put the chair down." He took another shot in the arm with the gun, and the bodyguard scolded him
in a cold voice.
"Hoh, the damn woman isn''t dead, but I can''t live. Whatever, I''m going to die anyway." Saying that,
the man took his gun and shot himself in the head.
Blood spurted out and his body fell to the ground.
At this time, urgent footsteps came from the corridor leading to the Walk Outside. Not longter,
Joseph Grant led a group of people and stood at the door.
"Alvina!" He shouted in panic.
At that moment, the door to the lounge was opened. A petite figure rushed out.
"Alvina." The man passed through the crowd and hugged her tightly. His lips pressed tightly against
her forehead for a long time before his heartbeat finally calmed down.
Warren Hilton had already ordered someone to protect the scene. He squatted down to inspect the
ce, then exchanged a nce with Joseph Grant.
"Clean this ce up." The murderer had alreadymitted suicide on the spot, so even if Joseph
Grant wanted to investigate, it was impossible for him to get anything out of a dead person''s mouth.
And since he came with the determination to die, then he definitely wouldn''t reveal any ws.
The human heart was sinister, but the human nature was fragile. When someone held onto the very
life of one''s loved ones and used their life to exchange for their safety, that was the most helpless
and helpless choice. Joseph Grant hugged Alvina, and used hisrge body to cover that ice—cold
corpse, not wanting to let her take another look at it.
"Alvina, how did you escape in there?" Joseph Grant''s voice was low and trembling.
Alvina said angrily: "I suspected him when he was outside the door just now, but when I wanted to
speak, he came in. I was so scared that I was half dead."
"How did you suspect him?" Joseph Grant praised her as he asked with a look of pleasant surprise.
Alvina pursed her lips: "He said that you asked him to send me a cup of coffee, but you know that I
don''t drink it. I am allergic to coffee, and I also can''t stand the bitter taste, thest time you gave me
a cup of tea, I didn''t even drink it, how could you let him give this to me? "
"Alvina, it''s a good habit for you to observe subtlety, and also be able to save your life at critical
moments. In the future, you must also carry this skeptical attitude toward strangers, do you
understand?" When Joseph Grant heard her cry for help, his heart practically stopped in his tracks.
Fortunately, the conference room he was in wasn''t too far away from here, so he was able to make
it here in time.
"To be honest, I''m really scared." Alvina''s body was still trembling, the gunshot from before scared
her to the point of squatting in a corner and shivering.
"It''s okay, don''t be afraid." Joseph Grant kissed her forehead, consoling her with a soft voice.
It was only then that Alvina realized the terror of war. He could also understand why Joseph Grant
didn''t want to have an open rtionship with her back then, because there were too many people
who wanted to obtain Joseph Grant''s weakness.
"Joseph Grant, did I disturb you? Has the meeting ended yet?" Alvina was ming herself, and it
was hard for her to bear. She didn''t expect that someone would barge in to kill her, and even kill
himself without killing her. This kind of person who was even so heartless, was really too terrifying.
"It''s alright. Your safety is the most important thing, and the meeting is almost over. I''ll have
someone else speak up for me." Joseph Grant stroked her long hair and said, "Let''s go back."
"Yes." Alvina still reached out to hug him, burying her face deep in his embrace as she coveted the
sense of security in his body.
Joseph Grant looked at her frightened expression and felt his heart ache.

On the car back, Alvina didn''t speak, and just hugged onto one of his arms in a daze.
Joseph Grant didn''t know what to say tofort her, so he could only ce his head closer to her.
"The staff members beside you have also been bribed by them. You should be more careful in the
future." When they were almost home, Alvina warned him in a low voice.
"I know, to be honest, I wasn''t surprised that this person would betray me. At first, I felt that he was
a bit untrustworthy, so I didn''t let him participate in the core work for a while, but I didn''t expect that
he would be bribed." Joseph Grant''s words contained helplessness and a bitter smile.
"If he''s dead, no matter how many benefits we get, I''m afraid we won''t be able to spend our lives on
him. What''s the point of that?" Alvina was unable to understand this person''s intention.
"Alvina, how terrifying is the human heart? You can''t predict that. Do you think it''s a pity that the
person has died? But he might have to die for a reason. Let''s stop guessing, shall we? Think of
today as a nightmare. If you wake up from the dream, you should forget about it. " Joseph Grant
didn''t want to exin it to her so clearly. Because, those things were too cruel.
"OK, I will forget about it. Moreover, I will temper my heart even more so. In the future, I will not
panic in the face of anything. I will not let you worry about me." Alvina smiled and nodded.
"I don''t know if anything will happen at our engagement party tomorrow, but I''ve done my best to do
security work." Joseph Grant frowned. He was still a bit uneasy about tomorrow''s unknown.
"The people we invited were all friends and family. No one that we didn''t know was invited toe
in. It should be... "No problem." However, Alvina naively thought so.
Since it was an engagement banquet, the number of people invited was not many, only ten tables.
The two families and friends each had five tables, and moreover, they were the closest kind, so their
friends were also the strongest. Although Joseph Grant was a Vice—President, he maintained a low
profile, and the location of the banquet was extremely secretive, so it would not be disturbed by
outsiders.
Other than the issue of safety, there was no need to intentionally expose the rest.
"I hope so. Hopefully, the people we invited are all sincere in their blessings to us." Joseph Grant
smiled and nodded. He did not want to add any more pressure to her heart.
"Oh right, was the matter regarding Victoria''s resignation handled by you?" Alvina asked curiously.
"It wasn''t me. I haven''t notified the personnel yet. Has she quit?" When Joseph Grant mentioned
this woman, his expression turned ugly.
"My little cousin helped her. She also said that Victoria is getting married. " Alvina said softly.
