Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 505

Meeting her brother’s death-like gaze, Rose shivered timidly and sat down on the couch. Edward sat down beside

her.

“You don’t have to look at me like that. I’ll go back after dinner.” Her mother-in-law and the others went to a

relative’s placé and would eat before returning home..

Sherri and Hackett were out visiting friends for Christmas too. Hackett would bring the two children out with them

so he would recoup some losses. Especially since he would be bringing gifts over as well.

Only at Trevon’s and Frank’s, would Hackett often be at a disadvantage. Perhaps Hackett was willing to suffer the

loss. Thus, having been so calculative, if Sherri and Hackett didn’t get rich, who would? They were too smart.

William said, “Rose, it’s fine for you to spend the night here, right? Edward?”

He immediately understood what his father-in-law meant. “William, I have no objections. Rose would like it too.”

Edward didn’t dare to have any objections. The entire family was afraid that Rose would be tired and unhappy.

However, Rose was very sensible and would take him into account too. She would stand in his shoes and consider

the issues. Sometimes, it felt like they had switched roles as she acted like a big sister who always said that she

would protect him. William nodded in satisfaction and dragged Daniel away to play chess while Joseph ran upstairs

alone..

Emma’s gaze

followed him for a while before looking away. Grace patted Emma’s hand. “Don’t worry.”,

Rose said, “My mother-in-law went visiting. She was afraid that I would be too tired from running back and forth, so

she didn’t let me go. However, I still plan to go back tonight.” Otherwise, Edward’s parents would be alone at night.

It would be too lonely for Christmas. There were quite a lot of people now at the Roberts family. It was very lively. It

would be fine if Rose was not here.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you to see my work.” Ava held Rose and prepared to bring her upstairs to see her recent

earnings. The platform was getting better and better, especially since she had help from Frank and Joseph.

“What do you do?” Rose asked curiously as she followed behind!

Frank invited Edward to drink coffee. “Let’s go. We can go somewhere else and have a cup of coffee.”

At the same time, Christina had returned home to the Yamin family’s residence.

As soon as she walked into the villa, she saw her sister lying on the couch with her limbs spread out. She kept

wailing in that ridiculous pose.

When Stella saw her sister come in, she quickly sat up and started complaining, “Christina, why didn’t you ask me to

come along with you when you ran away? I thought it was cold today, so I wore an extra thick down jacket.”

As she spoke, she took off her coat, leaving her only wearing her white sweater. She continued, “Let me tell you,

our mother didn’t go out to a Christmas party. It was entirely a blind date. You know, Great-aunt’s house is filled

with men and women. I did a count. There were eight men and eight women. Why don’t they just match them up?

“It’s like a huge wedding celebration. They even sat in rows. I was so depressed. What do you think our Great-aunt

is thinking? When Mom saw that scene, she was stunned. I think Mom definitely didn’t know about it beforehand.”

Stella was afraid that her sister would not be able to imagine that sight, so she painted a very vivid picture.

Christina was not stupid. Every year, she could not escape from the urging of their family to get married. This year

was definitely the same. However, she did not expect it to be so spectacular. It was unexpected even for her.

Fortunately, she did not go. However, even though she escaped from the blind date set up by her relative, she did

not escape unscathed today.

“Chris, did you see anyone you like?” Christina sat down beside her brother.

Chris rolled his eyes at his sister. “What do you think?” The moment he saw what was happening, he fled the scene

alone.

Christina did not answer. She was in a good mood. She picked up a magazine on the table and flipped through it.

She crossed her legs leisurely. Stella, who was sitting opposite her, asked, “Christina, how are you and that future

brother-in-law of mine progressing? Let me tell you, if you still have no progress after Christmas, our mother can

give you ten more choices. You’ll be done for.”

Angie could really do such a thing. Actually, Angie’s actions were understandable. She was anxious. After all, there

were three children at home, but none of them had anything in the way of a relationship.

Angie was afraid that they would drag it out for so long that she would be dead. If that happened, Angie just might

claw her way out of her coffin just to matchmake them. She had said this many times and was a little terrified.

Joseph’s face flashed through Christina’s mind in the next second. He was really handsome and seductive, but he

seemed to

have said that he was not a proponent of marriage.

“Don’t ask. After Christmas, you’ll be working at the Yamin Group. Why are you staying at the Wilson Group every

day? Are you planning to retire at the front desk? Give the young university students a chance. Don’t occupy the

position.”

“Then, can I still be a receptionist when I go to the company?” Stella carefully looked at her sister’s expression. At

this moment, her sister looked very serious and did not show the slightest hint of joking. Chris was afraid that he

would be next, so he diminished his presence and lowered his head.

Seeing that Christina was silent, Stella continued, “But I just like being at the front desk. I don’t like the infighting

that goes on in the company. The Yamin Group has you, right? Can I continue to be the front desk at the Wilson

Group?”

Since she was young, she didn’t have to worry about food or clothes. She didn’t go through any pressure in her life

at all. In addition, she was the youngest in the family. Charlie doted on her very much.

Christina nodded, as if she was listening to her subordinates report their work experience in the company. “Yes,

that’s fine. If you are so obsessed with the position of receptionist, it’s not impossible to fulfill them. Tell me when

you find the elixir of immortality so that I can make it a possibility.”

In Athana, big companies had a limit on the age at which the receptionists could be recruited. And yet this girl still

wanted to be a receptionist forever.

Stella said, “But I can still do this job now. I’ll leave when I’m old. I don’t plan to continue doing this when I get

older.”

Christina asked, “Then, how long do you intend to do it for?”

“We’ll talk about that later. I want to do it as long as I can. Anyway, I think working at the front desk is pretty good.

It is free and easy. No pressure. My work hours are fixed.”

Christina was a little tired of her sister’s easygoing attitude. In fact, Christina really wanted to tell her sister that

women needed to have their own careers. After all, the receptionist was the job of young people. How old could

they do it till? She rubbed her temples. “Even if you were to go to a fresh market, you have to bargain for prices.

And you think you can retire at your job and do until however old you want?”

“Pfft…” Chris could not help but laugh at his sister. Receiving a sharp gaze from Stella, he held it in and diminished

his presence again. He wanted to escape, so he stood up from the couch. “I’ll go to the study to take a look at the

medical records. You guys can continue.”

Christina ordered, “Sit down. From today onwards, you will learn business management from me and various

business matters.”

When Chris heard his sister, he was instantly petrified. He replied in disbelief, “Christina, are you joking? Am I taking

over the company? Don’t joke around. My career is in medicine.”

Christina thought to herself, “Indeed, I overestimated him a little, but he still has to learn. What if I don’t want to

watch over the company one day?”

There was always a chance.

“There’s no room for discussion. Start doing as I said tomorrow. And you, go back to the company after Christmas.

You can start by being my secretary.”

After hearing her arrangements, Stella and Chris looked like they had nothing to live for.

When Christina looked up, she saw Angie getting out of the car from the corner of her eye. She quickly threw down

the magazine, changed into slippers, and sneaked upstairs as if there was a tiger chasing after her.

The two people on the couch were initially in a good mood today. Now, they wanted to disappear because of their

sister. Christina wanted Chris to learn company management and Stella to return to the company to learn from

their sister. Dear God. Did she think it was easy to keep up with her progress?

Christina was always flying here and there. She might as well live in the skies. Good heavens. Who could save them

from her?

The siblings sighed in unison.

Chris blamed Stella. “Why did you mention the prospective brother-in-law for no reason? You caused all of this.”

“What’s wrong with mentioning my future brother-in-law? Mum told her to find one. Didn’t you see the fanfare

today? It was all prepared for Christina and you.”

Stella did not feel that she was in the wrong and pouted.

Chris felt like he had nothing to live for. He had a headache. If Christina quit, he would have to take over. “Hurry up

and learn from Christina after Christmas. Don’t mess around in the Wilson Group.
