Super Sweetheart of the CEO Daddy
Chapter 1536

Just as Alvina finished speaking, he heard a gunshot coming 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 penetrate 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 long later, 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 place, then exchanged a glance with Joseph Grant.

"Clean this place up." The murderer had already committed 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 flaws.

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 his large 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, the last 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 relationship 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 blaming 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 to comfort her, so he could only place 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 explain 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 to come 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.
