Alvina was frightened stiff by Joseph's words. A pair of beautiful eyes flashed with fear: "Is it that serious? They are my own uncles!"

"If two tigers fight each other, there will be casualties. If they want to hold the power of the Miller Family, they can only get 20% of the equity from you. Whoever gets it first will have the right to speak. This is such a cruel thing. I heard that your grandfather has spoiled you since you were young, you really are a flower that grew up in a greenhouse, and you don't know the dangers of human nature." Joseph's gaze stopped on the girl's panicked and beautiful face. He didn't know why, but he actually felt some pity for her.

Alvina's eyes reddened, she suddenly remembered that she was raised under the protection of her grandfather. She felt that it was unfilial for her to escape the marriage this time. Her grandfather would definitely be disappointed in her.

"Eat something. If you want to win, you have to be strong." Joseph reached out and picked up a piece of beef, placing it into her bowl.

"Thank you!" Alvina looked at him, and then quickly lowered her gaze after seeing his light expression.

She felt that in front of Joseph, she was like a silly child. He could see through everything with a glance, but she herself was blind, unable to see the present, unable to see the future. Even in the past, she had always lived in a world of her own.

At this moment, she suddenly needed Joseph's help very much. She was like a person drowning in the ocean who thirsted for a piece of floating wood.

"Joseph, would you despise my stupidity?" Alvina suddenly asked.

Joseph paused in his actions, and looked at her strangely: "Why do you ask?"

"I'm just curious. A smart person like you would definitely like smart people, but obviously, I'm not a smart person. I can't even see through my own situation. I still take myself seriously all day, and do anything recklessly or wildly, and I've been treating myself like a normal person all day. Don't you think I'm annoying?" Alvina fixed her beautiful eyes on the man, waiting for his reply.

If he despised her, what would she do?

It was very easy to annoy someone, but it was really difficult to make someone fall in love with someone.

Joseph's handsome face froze, following that, his lips rose, and laughed: "If there isn't a stupid person by my side, how can I show off my intelligence, I don't mind you standing by my side!" "Huh?" Alvina's expression froze.

Joseph reached out and gave her some more dishes, then rapped his fingers on the table twice: "When you're eating, don't think about it too much, eat seriously."

Alvina suddenly felt a lump in her throat. It couldn't go up, it couldn't go down.

She admitted that she was very stupid, and Joseph seemed to agree with her thoughts. Did that mean she was really stupid?

Alvina didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After finishing the meal, Joseph raised his hand and looked at his watch: "The plane is three thirty in the afternoon. Pack up and leave with me."

"Then will I follow you to the news? We...don't have a formal relationship yet. Is it proper?" Alvina knew that every time Joseph went to visit someone in the outside world, it would always be reported on the domestic news. If she goes with him, maybe she will be photographed.

Joseph frowned his eyebrows, and said lightly: "Just follow my staff, we will not get caught, but, even if we do, it doesn't matter, since our families agree to our marriage, and if the elders see it, they will be able to relax. And it is able to anger your enemy to death, what's wrong with that?"

Alvina's beautiful eyes froze again. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that what he said made quite a bit of sense.

"Alright, I'll go upstairs and clean up!"

"There's no hurry. It's still early. You can take a rest!" Joseph said in a low voice.

Alvina nodded, turned and walked up the stairs. When she first came here, his heart was a mess and he had been here for a few days, yet she was already feeling so calm and secure. She did not quarrel with Joseph, nor did she mess with him, in any case she trusted him wholeheartedly.

The news of Joshua and Cathy living together had also spread out one morning when the Old Lady Wayne had called for someone to help spread. They were well-matched, and everyone was very happy. There were more and more people who supported and were optimistic about the marriage between the two great families. There were even many people online asking about the exact marriage date, and they wanted to send their blessings.

Cathy sat on the sofa with an iPad in her hands, bored out of her mind browsing the pages of news.

May and Elizabeth were seated at the side eating fruits, the atmosphere was very good. Fiona went out to shop. Christina also had a show.

Fortunately, the villa was big enough and there were a lot of rooms. With such a large group of people living here, it actually didn't feel crowded. Instead, it was quite lively.

"Eliza, read less of the news online. It's not good for the baby if you get too excited." After Cathy finished reading, she quickly reminded Elizabeth. She did not want her to see it.

Elizabeth laughed softly. "I saw a little of it, but I'm not affected by it. Furthermore, I've been quite sleepy lately, and I've wanted to sleep on my bed all day. I really don't have time to bother with anything else." "Pregnancy is like this. The book says that after enduring it for three months, you will be fine." May immediately consoled her.

"There are only twenty more days left, and three months are almost up. I really hope that the time can go by a bit faster. It's too much to mess around with people. Right now, I can't eat anymore. I even have to vomit after drinking." Elizabeth was finally able to experience the hardships of being a mother. She suddenly missed her mother a lot, although the things she did were hateful, but they were mostly pitiful. "Cathy, can I beg of you for a favor?" Elizabeth suddenly said.

"What is it? Tell me!" Cathy was a straightforward person to begin with. She was loyal, and since she considered Elizabeth a friend, she would naturally help.

"My mom is in prison. I don't know how she's doing right now. I want to go see her. Can you take me there?" Elizabeth had already been backing home for quite a few days. Although she had not stepped out of the door once, she still wanted to meet her pitiful mother, even if she can only say a few words with her mother.

"Joshua roughly told me about you. I really sympathize with you. If you want to go, then of course I can bring you there. It's just that, I need to ask Joshua, if he agrees, then I can bring you out!" Cathy did not dare to make the decision on her own.

"Alright, I'll give him a call and ask!" After Elizabeth finished speaking, she took out her phone and came over. When the call connected, Joshua's gentle voice came out: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere else?" "No, I want to go see my mother, okay?" Elizabeth asked softly.

"No, Bart's people are frantically looking for you, you cannot go out!" Hearing that, Joshua became tensed.
