The words caused Alvina to widen her eyes in shock, and then, she angrily turned around.

It was only then that Joseph realized that the joke was too big, his huge body flashed, blocking her way.

Alvina stared at him angrily, bit her lips and said: "If you want to replace a woman to warm your bed, you can go out to look. Aren't you rich? If you spend money, you can replace whomever you want, but I'm not going to do it."

Joseph saw that she was truly angry, and immediately apologized for what he had said: "Alvina, I'm joking with you, are you serious?"

"How can you joke like this?" In fact, Alvina could tell that he was playing with her, which was why she was even angrier. She was in such a sincere to beg him, yet he treated her like a monkey again and again "I take back my rude words just now. Actually, if you want to move in, I have no objections. After all, staying by my side is of no harm to you!" Joseph was actually afraid that she would reject him. Alvina lowered her head, thinking something, and did not reply to his words.

Anxiety flashed across Joseph's handsome face, and his tone turned a little more sincere. "I promise you, I definitely won't act recklessly!"

Alvina slowly raised her head, her eyes glittering as she looked at him: "In the future, stop joking with me like that!"

Joseph nodded, and self-deprecatingly said: "Actually, I just wanted to tease you!"

"So, Mr. Vice-President likes to tease people too. I thought you were just like how you are on TV, solemn and boring." Alvina had finally seen Joseph's other side, and felt that he was more human. Joseph was startled. Indeed, why did he feel that his attitude became so young when he was with this woman?

Elizabeth was hospitalized, but after being frightened, she actually lost a bit of blood, which frightened Joshua and the others, even she was frightened, and thought that her child was about to die.

However, the doctor gave her another examination. The child was fine, but she might need to stay in the hospital to see how things went.

Elizabeth could only stay, it was 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Edwards and Larry came over with a lot of gifts. Larry met with May outside again, both of them were filled with anger.

Edwards glanced at Larry, who was beside him, and saw rarely that his mood had changed so much. As a boss, naturally, he cared a lot about his subordinate, so he asked: "Larry, what's wrong? Do you know that girl?"

"I bumped into her this afternoon. She stepped on my glasses." Larry said angrily.

Edwards laughed: "I rarely see you acting this way towards girls, why not have a good chat with her later, there might be further decelopment."

"Mr. Wayne, you're actually teasing me?" Larry looked innocent and wronged.

Edwards stopped and patted his shoulder, "Youngster, do you believe in fate? Perhaps, your fate with her has already been arranged."

"Mr. Wayne, if you say it like that again, I won't help you with this gift!" Larry was rarely angry.

Edwards could only shrug his shoulders: "Alright, I was just joking. If you really want a girlfriend, I'll definitely introduce you to one." "Right now, I just want to help you with the work and remove the obstacles. I don't want anything else!" Larry had an expression of loyalty.

Edwards sighed softly, "It's really my fortune to have such a capable subordinate like you!"

"Mr. Wayne, don't say that. I will be touched!" Larry smiled as he raised his eyebrows.

The two of them went out of the sickroom and knocked on the door. Joshua walked out.

"Brother, why are you here?" Joshua was naturally happy to see his brother.

"I worried about you. How is she? Is the baby okay?" Edwards was still worried. When he heard that a woman could not be shocked while she was pregnant, after what happened today, Elizabeth got shot in the arm. This was already a big enough shock.

"The doctor asked to stay in the hospital for observation. He said he needed to keep an eye on her!" On Joshua's handsome face, there was a hint of worry.

"It's good that the baby is fine. Just listen to the doctor and take good care of her." Seeing his little brother's worried expression, Edwards inexplicably consoled himself. His little brother had finally learned the word "responsibility", and he was not ashamed of having been entrusted with this task by his father and grandfather.

"Brother, how is Bart? Did that man confess? I hope for him to be captured as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will definitely come again to harm Eliza." When Joshua thought about that cold-blooded and merciless scumbag, the roots of his teeth started to itch. If anything were to happen to his woman and baby today, he would definitely let him exchange his live for it.

"Bart has already been suspended for further investigation, don't worry. My people are also staring at him intently. The people up there have their suspicions towards his character and are requesting an investigation into his surrogate pregnancy. Maybe April Jones will testify about it." Edwards had been taking care of this matter this afternoon. He wanted Joseph to take action as soon as possible. Joseph had done it. Bart's power had been taken away, the public opinion had affected him greatly, Bart had probably become the abandoned son of the old President.

Then I will have to trouble you to continue watching him. I must not let him hurt Eliza! The gaze that Joshua used to look at his big brother was full of trust and gratitude. It would definitely be tiring for him to distract about this even while he was busy.

"As long as we make Bart lose his value, Old President will not let him get away easily. He has many secrets in his hands, just wait, let's see which side makes the first move!" Edwards sneered, with regards to the analysis of politics, he had good eyes. He felt that Bart could no longer be considered a threat.

Just as Edwards had guessed, after Bart received a secret phone call, he felt cold from head to toe, to the point that his heart was in panic and his hands and feet were trembling.

He suddenly thought of his young son, the only son that he had spent a great deal of effort to help his family survive. Either he died, or his son died.

He looked desolately at the lights outside the window, which were flickering out, and his eyes began to grow blurry.

The road in front of him had already been cut off, which reminded him of that night more than twenty years ago, when he had been waiting at the entrance to the hospital, rubbing his hands and smoking a cigarette, staring at the delivery room on the third floor, which was brightly lit, as if it had been filled with endless hope.

"It's a daughter!" When a woman's voice told him the news on the phone, he threw the unfinished cigarette heavily on the ground, stepped on it, and walked away.

If he had been even a little bit responsible at that time, he would not have ended up in such despair.

Bart walked towards the window step by step, desperate for a son. Yes, he had a son. But the daughter that he had ruthlessly abandoned also had found him.

"Pa..." Bart took out a chair and smashed it against the window. He took one last look at the light outside the window and the place where he had worked for so many years, before jumping down.
