Alvina and Joseph Grant returned to the living room of the Old Master Miller and coincidentally met Nathan Miller and Paul Miller walking out. When the two of them saw Joseph Grant, a trace of fear flashed past their eyes, but very quickly, they came over to greet him with smiles.
"Alvina, congratulations. Uncle will prepare a generous gift to properly send you out." Nathan Miller smiled and said the words of blessings, his face looked fake.
Alvina said lightly: "Uncle, no need to be so polite."
Paul Miller also laughed at his side: "Alvina. You are very compatible with Mr. Vice—President, you will be very lucky, I wish you two the best."
Alvina was a little polite to her Third Uncle because, in her impression, what Third Uncle loved to do the most was to mix well with mud and mud, and never show off his abilities. Originally, Alvina did not like people like him either, but with Second Uncle's support, she felt that it would be much easier to get along with him.
"Thank you, Third Uncle." Alvina smiled at him.
Joseph Grant stood at the side and looked at the two men who had fake smiles on their faces with his sharp eyes, not saying a single word.
The Old President had already pulled them into his group, so Joseph Grant naturally would not be too polite with them.
"Mr. Vice—President... I don't know what to call you anymore. " Nathan Miller then smiled and greeted Joseph Grant.
"Uncle, there's no need to be polite. Since you think of me as a family member, just call me by my name." Joseph Grant said indifferently.
"That's fine. You and her are getting engaged. Sooner or later, we'll be family. In the future, I'll call you Joseph." Nathan Miller immediately nodded and replied.
Miller family's two uncles also felt a little awkward, they did not say much and quickly left.
Alvina snorted angrily, "What family, what they said sounded good. They have such a bad daughter. If it wasn't for Grandfather, I really would have treated them as strangers."
"Alvina, don't be angry. People like them aren't worth it. The only thing you need to do now is to accompany your grandfather. He will truly help you with this family." Seeing the anger on her face, Joseph Grant quickly comforted her gently.
"Yeah, it's not worth getting angry over such a person. Let's go in." Alvina nodded.
When the two of them stepped into the living room, they saw Old Master Miller sitting on the sofa with a dark expression. The Grant family members also had solemn expressions, and only Wendy Grant was wearing her earphones to watch the movie.
"Grandfather, aunt, what happened?" Alvina immediately felt that something was amiss and asked.
The Old Master Miller said angrily: "I'm afraid your two uncles have already gone to the Old President."
"Huh?" Alvina had a surprised expression on her face. She looked at the man beside her: "You couldn't have known this a long time ago, right?"
Joseph Grant's handsome face slightly changed, he was silent for two seconds, then nodded and replied: "Yes, I already knew."
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Alvina frowned, somewhat dissatisfied.
Joseph Grant laughed lightly, then said helplessly: "I don't want to tell you guys, but I just don't want to make things difficult for you guys. After all, the essence of the election requires a company to compete in, your uncle has his ideas, we cannot moral kidnap him, of course, the promise that Mr. President gave them, I am not certain I can give them, they chose benefits, this is also a business choice, they are right."
"But …" Alvina felt a little uncomfortable.
Joseph's father nodded his head, agreeing with his son's considerations, "Joseph is right. We will not interfere with the positions of others. Politics should not be mixed with relationships. "
Old Master Miller, however, said with hatred: "These two unfilial sons, they came to anger me on purpose."
"Grandfather, don't be angry." Alvina quickly walked to her grandfather's side and reached out her hand to help him vent his anger: "It's their choice who Uncle wants to support, that's their problem. Grandfather, don't be angry, your body is more important."
"Joseph, I'm sorry. I never expected that they would throw themselves at your enemy at such a time." Back then, when he had promised Alvina, he had wanted to help him but now, it seemed that he was too old to make a decision. The company was completely taken over by his son, and even if he wanted to help, he would not be able to do so.
