Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 511

Frank drove his SUV in the direction of the airport.

On the way, he had been thinking about his brother-in-law’s sudden farewell. Was he not a little interested in that

tomboy, Christina? Why did he run away?

According to Joseph’s personality, he should have created the opportunities to meet Christina and get along with

her. The fact that Joseph had left was an illogical behaviour.

Ethan, who was sitting in the back seat, was also confused. Did he not say that he would go back on the seventh

day of Christmas when they were climbing the mountain? It was only the third day today. Had he already lost track

of time?

The car arrived at Athana Airport.

Frank dutifully became his brother-in-law and helped Joseph carry his luggage onto the plane. “Let’s go. Give me a

call when you land.”

Joseph nodded. “Okay.”

The two of them did not say anything else. Ethan followed them onto the plane. Soon, the plane took off and soared

into the sky, disappearing from Frank’s view.

Instead of leaving, Frank leaned against the car door with his foot against the tire. After he lit a cigarette and put it

in his mouth, he took out his phone and called Chris, “Are you suffering from Alzheimer’s? Is it so difficult to answer

the phone?”

Chris had just finished his work. It had only been two minutes since he came out of the operating theater and he

was about to go home from work. “You fucking placed surveillance cameras in my consultation room, right?”

Frank snorted. “You’re not at home?”

Chris sighed. “Do you think I’m as free as you are?”

Frank took a puff of his cigarette. “That’s true. Singles can’t understand how busy we are.”

Chris could not be bothered with Frank. “If that’s the reason for your call, congratulations, Frank. You’ve achieved

your goal. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up. I still have to go home for dinner.”

Frank chuckled. “Go home and see if your tomboy is home.”

“Why are you asking about my sister for no reason? My sister was set by my mother to go to the company on the

eighth day of Christmas. During this period, she has to be brainwashed at home every day until she successfully

falls in love. By the way, didn’t you say that you were coming to my house? When are you coming?”

Frank replied, “Does your mother want me to come to your house? I’m telling you clearly that I can’t come. I’m

hanging up.”

Chris cursed after hanging up the phone. “Fuck, are you crazy? You didn’t even talk about anything serious on the

phone and just chatted without any reason. Is your phone bill free of charge?”

However, his mother’s intention was indeed not on Frank, but on his future brother-in-law.

She packed her things and prepared to go home.

Half an hour later, Chris stepped into the Yamin family’s living room. Only Charlie was sitting in the living room. He

frowned as if he was worried about something.

Chris’s hungry stomach growled. He said to the servant, “Make me a bowl of pasta.”

“Yes, Mr. Chris.”

“Charlie, what’s wrong?” Chris sat down beside Charlie and asked with concern.

Charlie let out a long sigh. “Your sister went overseas to inspect the equipment. It’s all my fault. Why did I mention

the equipment?”

“What? My sister went overseas? When?” At this moment, Chris’s expression could no longer be described as

surprised. What did he say to Frank half an hour ago?

In an instant, Chris thought of Frank’s call. Did this guy already know?

Most importantly, how did he know? Chris subconsciously looked up at the ceiling. He really suspected that Frank

had installed surveillance cameras in the Yamin family.

Charlie roughly explained the situation, but he did not mention that his daughter was hiding from his urging her to

get married. “Have you eaten?”

Suddenly, a sleepy voice interrupted the father and son’s conversation.

Stella was wearing pajamas and lying half-dead on the armrest. She happened to see the servant call Chris to eat.

“Mr. Chris, the pasta is ready.”

The reincarnation of a hungry ghost, Stella, quickly said, “Give me a bowl too. I’m starving.”

The father and son’s expressions were indescribable. It was even more so for Charlie. He finally understood why

Christina was always worried. Stella’s eating habits were indeed worrying. “Stella, you only eat two meals a day.

Can your stomach take it? If you really want to sleep, you can go back to sleep after breakfast.”

Stella leaned on the armrest and waited for the pasta to be served. At the same time, she woke up out of hunger.

“Charlie, I ́only eat breakfast and lunch during the holidays. I’m very professional when I go to work. When have I

ever been late?”

These words were true. She was indeed dedicated to her job as the receptionist of the Wilson Group. She was never

late, making Charlie wonder why the Wilson Group was so special to her.

After a while, Stella’s pasta was done. By that time, Chris had already finished eating and was about to go upstairs.

“Where’s Christina? Why don’t I see her?”

Upstairs, their mother, Angie, had just woken up and was yawning. Her afternoon nap was not long and was at most

an hour and a half. If her afternoon nap was too long, she would suffer from insomnia at night.

Seeing her mother come downstairs, Stella thought that her mother knew where her sister had gone. She took a

bite of pasta and asked, “Angie, where’s Christina?”

Angie replied, “Where else can your sister go? She must be upstairs with her computer. The man who is about to

become your brother-in-law is not free today, so your sister can only stay at home.”

Angie found it a pity that the man was not yet Stella’s brother-in-law.

The father and son coughed awkwardly. This kind of thing could not be hidden for long. After all, Christina would not

come back to sleep at night. Sooner or later, she would be exposed, and they could not pretend to be Christina

either. With a

Christina just had an emergency…”

strong desire to live, Charlie said truthfully, “Angie C

“Cough, cough, cough…” Stella was about to take a bite of pasta, but before she could slurp it into her mouth, she

looked at Charlie in surprise. It was only the third day of Christmas today

Chris lowered his head to reduce his presence. It had nothing to do with him. He only came back to eat a bowl of

pasta and had just found out about it. He lowered his head and rubbed his nose.

As expected, Angie immediately became irritable. “Wait a moment. What big matter did you discuss after I fell

asleep? Why did

you make Christina leave?”

“Angie, what do you mean? It’s just that the company is going to use equipment, so Christina wants to inspect it

personally. Besides, hasn’t she been doing this all along? She just started work early this year…” Charlie spoke with

less and less confidence. His voice was clearly lower.

After listening to everything, Angie was certain that her daughter had left long ago and was definitely on a plane

now. Usually, when she wanted to see Christina, it was as if she was trying to schedule a meeting with a leader.

Christina was either overseas or flying overseas. Now, even Christmas could not keep her here.

Angie felt that she had woken up from a nap only to find out that Christina had left. No wonder Christina kept asking

her to take an afternoon nap. It turned out that she had such ulterior motives. “I think Christina is deliberately trying

to anger me to death.”

Chris tilted his head and glared at his sister, who was still eating pasta heartlessly. Why did she have to ask this

question at this moment? It was not too late to ask this question after he had gone to the hospital. At that time, he

would not be implicated!

Sure enough, the next second, the blame was put on Chris. Angie pointed at Chris. “You only know how to stay in

the hospital all day long. Forget it, forget it. I won’t talk about you anymore. It’s useless even if I scold you. Go do

what you need to do. You’ll be the death of me.”

Angie’s head hurt. Seeing that her plan to make Frank bring Joseph to her house was probably going to fail, she sat

on the sofa angrily. The speed at which Stella ate pasta subconsciously decreased. She was just short of eating the

pasta one strand by strand. She did not dare chew loudly, afraid that she would be implicated if she made a sound.

Chris turned on the precision system and took out his phone to call Frank. He felt that if this matter was not

resolved today, the atmosphere at home would not be good until Christina returned.

If Angie was unhappy, the entire family would suddenly change from a lively atmosphere to a gloomy one. He did

not know when the thunderstorm would start.

It was not easy for Angie to have some hope, but Christina had caught Angie off guard by going on a business trip.

Angie’s plan had been ruined, so it would be strange if she was not angry.

The call was picked up very quickly. Chris said directly, “Hello, how did you know my sister wasn’t at home?”

On the other end, Frank chuckled. His laugh was puzzling, and it made Chris’s hair stand on end. He only said half-

jokingly, “It was just a random guess.”

Chris groaned. “What do you mean?”

From Chris’s tone, Frank could tell that Christina had probably angered Angle again, and the family was looking to

expel

her anger. Angie was smart, but she was too easily angry. “Tell Angie that Joseph is also on a business trip.”

To Angie, Frank did not dare use too ambiguous words, afraid that she would misunderstand. It would be over if

Angie was even more angered.

Now, Chris seemed to understand. After hanging up, Chris said to the angry Angie on the sofa, “Angie, Christina

should be on a business trip with your favorite son-in-law. I just called Frank. He said so.”

This was not the first time that Christina had gone on a business trip without Angie’s knowledge to avoid the

problem of urging her to get married. Every time she did it, she angered Angie, who had a bad temper.

Hearing this, Angie asked again, doubtfully, “Really? You’re not lying to me? All of you are very capable of lying.”

Stella ate quietly in the dining room and muttered, “Who’s as capable as you? You’re the best at fishing for

information.”

Chris showed her the call log on his phone to confirm that it was true. He said boldly, “It’s true. Why would I lie to

you? Angie, actually, you’re just pushing Christina too hard. If you didn’t keep an eye on her, she wouldn’t always

want to run.”

Angie glared at her son. “If I don’t keep an eye on her, she’ll be able to hide from all the people chasing her in

Athana. In the end, she’ll be alone.”

Alright, Chris was powerless to refute this. It was indeed something that Christina could do.

A few hours later, at Sapphire Airport, a woman in a red coat, white pants, and a pair of dark purple sunglasses

strode. towards the exit with a black suitcase.

The 3 inches heels clicked on the clean floor, crisp and rhythmic. Pushing her suitcase with one hand, she called a

taxi according to the guide she had made on the plane and reported her destination.

In the taxi, Christina sat in the back seat and asked the driver in Arillion, “Hello, can I ask a question?”

The driver said as he drove, “Sure, go ahead, Miss.”

Christina thanked him politely. “Thank you. I want to ask which company is the largest medical equipment company

in Sapphire City? I’m a salesperson. Our boss asked me to go out and do a research. She hopes that I can give her

a detailed report after Christmas.”

The driver expressed his sympathy. “You’re an ambitious young lady. The largest company in Sapphire City is

Xaynum. This is the largest company in our country, and it’s also the most famous brand. Our hospital basically

uses this company’s equipment. Moreover, this company donates the most charitable donations every year.”

The driver was very enthusiastic. He probably heard that Christina was oppressed by the boss and felt sympathy for

her. He told her everything he knew. If he knew the boss’s gossip, he would probably tell Christina everything.

From the driver’s information, Christina understood how long the company had been running for. She did not

expect that the company her father forcefully told her would have a good reputation. It seemed that she had to

understand it more.
