Alvina and Joseph Grant stood at the side, they did not dare disturb them, and waited for the lawyers to settle everything. Old Master Miller raise his head and wave to the two people beside him: "Come and sign your name."
Joseph Grant and Alvina looked at each other, expressing their helplessness.
The few lawyers who were present looked at Joseph Grant with reverence. Lowering their heads, they greeted him.
In the eyes of an outsider, Joseph Grant was still a very intimidating person. Unfortunately, right now, the entire room was filled with people that he did not dare to offend. He did not dare put on any airs and let them sign on the spot. He did everything that old Miller wanted him to do. He was obedient. If his seniors did not ask, and he did not dare speak carelessly.
Alvina was the same.
Finally, the matter of the dowry and betrothal gift had been settled. They had to take one each, in duplicate.
"Would you like to take a look, young people?" Joseph's father asked with a smile.
Alvina immediately waved his hand, "Uncle, I won't look at it anymore. Everything will be decided by Grandfather."
Old Master Miller nodded his head: "It's fine, she's young and I don't understand even after seeing her. I have already made my decision."
Joseph Grant could understand it, but he didn't need to since he had discussed it with his family before. When Alvina married him, the betrothal gift would be hers, and his dowry would still be hers.
Of course, Alvina did not know about this matter at the moment. She felt that the betrothal gift was for Grandfather and the dowry was for the Grant family.
Just as everyone was preparing to eat dinner, Miller family's uncle, aunt, and cousins came as well.
Although Nathan Miller and Paul Miller were not happy in their hearts, they still helped to put on a show.
They were unhappy because they had always felt that the Old Master Miller would leave them a fortune. In the end, it had turned into Alvina's dowry and was going to be sent to the Grant family.
However, they went to ask the old man before, but the old man was angry on the spot, and they didn't dare to bring it up again. If the old man was displeased and the put the company left Alvina to Alvina, they would have to go drink with the wind in the future.
On the table, Victoria was absent—minded as she looked at Joseph Grant with sorrow. Alvina was arranged to sit beside him. The scene of them sitting together was beautiful to the point that it stung her eyes.
She wanted to say something, but she could only be mute and couldn't say a single word. Her father's warning made Victoria have no choice but to suppress the feelings in her heart and not dare to confess.
However, after dinner, Victoria immediately said to Alvina: "I have a friend from the past at my place, do you want to come over to take a seat? "
Alvina did not expect Victoria to invite her to her house. Although it was just a wall and a small path, Alvina had not been to the other two houses for a long time.
Joseph Grant was standing not far behind her. Hearing her words, his expression sunk slightly.
"What friend? I don't have time to see you right now." Alvina curled her lips in disapproval.
"Do you not want to see it, or do you not dare to? Alvina, you're going to get married. He is so sad, and he comes over to see you for the last time. You can't be so cruel, right? " Victoria purposely lowered her voice, because she only wanted Alvina and Joseph Grant to hear it. She did not want the elders who were sitting on the sofa far away to hear it.
"What are you talking about?" Alvina's expression immediately changed, as she stared at her in anger.
She knew that Victoria had not given up on Joseph Grant. When she heard her say such misleading words, she felt disgusted.
"Heh, Alvina, if you don't dare to meet him, that's fine too. " After Victoria finished speaking, she turned around and left. Before she left, she gave Alvina a mocking gaze, telling her to experience it for herself. Alvina was so angry, who else would she not dare meet?
Joseph Grant had been paying attention to Alvina from the start, but now that he heard Victoria's words, his face instantly tensed up.
"Who does she want you to meet?" Even though Joseph Grant was a man, he was still very sensitive towards women that he loved. He immediately walked over to ask her.
"How would I know? She must have had some plan." Alvina curled her lips, disagreeing. "Let's go, I'll accompany you to meet them." Joseph Grant suddenly grabbed her arm and forcefully brought her to walk outside.
