Alvina was threatened and scared, Joseph would definitely not let it go at that. Benson's confession, to him, was extremely useful; Barry was like a poison tumor, making him want to quickly remove it. This time, the incident happened to become a blade in Joseph's hand, which could directly stab into Barry's chest, allowing Old President to learn this lesson.
However, once this matter was brought out to stab the Old President, the news of Alvina's engagement with him would naturally spread like wildfire. Thus, this was what Joseph had to consider at the moment.
The two elders sat on the main seat, and Joseph, as the junior, personally boiled water for a cup of tea. He revealed the etiquette of a junior without a doubt in order to gain the approval of the Old Master Miller. Although he was close to seventy years old, under his control, his two sons still did not take over the authority he had over the Miller Family. He was still the loudest speaker, and that was the main reason why Alvina was able to do whatever he wanted in the Miller Family.
If the Old Master Miller retreated one day, Alvina's situation would be very disadvantageous. The Old Master Miller had previously considered not leaving his own property rights to his little granddaughter and did not want her to get involved in the family's mess. However, if a woman did not have sufficient wealth in her hands, she might not be able to live a happy life.
This was why the Old Master decided to book a tough family for Alvina so that she could have someone to protect her in this storm.
"Grandpa Miller, please have some tea!" Joseph said softly as he placed the teacup in front of Old Master Miller.
Old Master Miller took a sip of the tea and praised: "Not bad, the tea smells good!"
Mr. Grant also chuckled happily when he saw his grandson being praised.
"You two grandfathers called me over for tea. Is it because of my granddaughter Alvina?" The old tutor was being shrewd as he asked directly.
Joseph looked at his grandfather, who indicated for him to say it out loud, thus, Joseph told the news that he was going to publicize the engagement of two people to Old Master Miller.
The mouthful of tea that Old Master Miller had just brought to his lips almost sprayed out as he forcefully swallowed it down. However, he coughed to the point that his old face was flushed red, as he forcefully placed the teacup on the table: "What nonsense is this, that old bastard actually wanted to harm my granddaughter?"
"Grandfather Miller, the situation is so grim that I won't dare to hide it from you. I'll do my best to protect Alvina, but this lowly person is hard to defend, and I'm also very worried. If the news of my engagement with Alvina were to be made public, I'm afraid dangers from all sides would rush over. If I don't make the news public, Alvina had to endure all the grievances and shock she had suffered." Joseph analyzed with a calm voice.
"Is there no other way to solve this? I didn't introduce my granddaughter to you to share the danger with you, but you should know that my damned son only left Alvina with mw. Although Alvina is not some smart girl, andit's precisely because of her silly that I'm worried even more. " Old Master Miller was truly frightened and angry.
Hearing the word "silly", Joseph couldn't hold it in, he choked on his tea, and coughed again.
"Joseph has some sense of propriety!" Mr. Grant looked at his grandson with a serious expression. If he lost his composure like this, he was afraid that Old Master Miller would cancel the marriage in a fit of rage. Then, wouldn't his heart, which was stolen by the girl, be shattered into pieces?
Joseph used a lot of strength before he managed to hold back his coughing.
If Alvina were to hear his grandfather use the word to describe her, he didn't know how rich her expression would be.
“Mr. Miller Alvina has really very good personality. Her heart is clearly like a crystal. It must because of your protection. You're unwilling to even let her endure these hardships. When I marry her in the future, I'll naturally protect her even more carefully, take care of her, and prevent her from being frightened. However, in the face of such a situation, it's indeed rather worrisome.”
