Victoria was so happy. She had been upset for many days, but now she had someone help her. She knew she was lucky. Sister May was Joseph's aunt, and she was good friend with his mother. With her help, Victoria thought she could succeed and obtain happiness.
However, Sister May said that she wanted to hear proof that Alvina personally admitted that she did not like Joseph. It was still somewhat difficult. Alvina didn't talk to her anymore since they fought with each other last time. Even she wanted to cause trouble, it would be difficult.
However, where there is a will, there is a way. Victoria firmly believed that there was still a chance to obtain the proof that Alvina did not like Joseph. She had to do it as soon as possible, so she could only think of away.
Alvina had been working at work for a while. Suddenly, Warren Hilton walked into her office and passed her a red packet. She looked at it in confusion, using her eyes to ask Warren Hilton what was the meaning of this.
Warren Hilton purposely said loudly to her: "This is the New Year's red packet from Madam. She would like to invite Miss Miller over to the Joseph's family for a visit tonight."
Alvina's expression became blank. Her clever brain immediately understood what was going on. Warren Hilton deliberately talked to her like this to show Joseph's heartless to her. However, it was not something worth being happy about though.
It was true that an ugly daughter—in—law would have to see her parents—in—law, but his family was unfamiliar to Alvina. The relationship between Alvina and Joseph was bad apparently. However, they were a family actually. They had to be careful. If she did something wrong tonight, she would make the elders unhappy.
"Could it be that you do not want to go over?" Warren Hilton finally managed to force a smile.
"No …Of course I will go!" Alvina was stunned for a while, then immediately nodded: "I'll have to trouble you to tell her, I will be there a bit later!"
"Mister said that he would pick you up after work. You haven't been to his family yet, so he is afraid you're not familiar with the road!" Warren Hilton continued to speak with his official tone.
"Oh, that... Then I haven't prepared anything yet, at least I have to prepare some gifts or something!" Alvina said anxiously.
"Sir said that you don't need to prepare anything, it's just a normal meal!" Warren Hilton immediately said.
"Alright, alright then!" Alvina nodded.
Warren Hilton turned and left. Her colleague immediately shot her an expression of either sympathy or joy.
Alvina looked at the big red packet in her hand and couldn't help but laugh in her heart. Could it be that Joseph had given this to her? Otherwise, how could his mother do that?
Alvina was almost certain that it was Joseph. She secretly opened it and saw that it was filled with money.
Although this amount of cash was not much to Alvina, it was still a man's gift. She only needed to accept it.
Penelope walked out of the office. She crossed her arms over her chest and looked at her with sympathy.
"What kind of marriage is this? His mother wants to see the future daughter—in—law, but she lets someone else pass this information. She is too insincere. Are you sure you want to go?" Penelope's words were straightforward, but she was extremely sincere. She had truly given her all for this young subordinate.
Alvina was so frightened that she quickly stuffed the red packet back into her pocket. She stood up with an embarrassed look on her face: "Sister Penelope, I don't care. It's a must—to—do!"
"Do you think marriage is so simple?" Penelope looked at her in surprise, as if she was a rare species of creature.
"Of course not!" Alvina laughed dryly: "Sister Penelope, don't worry about me. I will accept this reality anyway."
"You can't go there with empty—handed, right? I'll give you an afternoon off. Go out and buy some things so that others won't underestimate you!" Penelope said gently.
Hearing that, Alvina's beautiful eyes lit up. She looked at Penelope with tears of gratitude and said: "Thank you, Sister Penelope, I think so. I should buy something. "
"Yes. You've already been treated with such disdain by that guy. If you go to his home empty—handed, your future will be difficult." Penelope thought that she was the loser of the marriage, which was why she had to remind her.
After Alvina left with her bag, everyone in the office started to discuss softly.
