Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 298

The night view of Sapphire City was different from that of Athana. Athana was filled with high-rise

buildings. The higher the buildings, the more famous the owner of the buildings was.

On the other hand, Sapphire City was different. There were not many ridiculously tall buildings here.

They were all small unique villas with individually designed floors. When night fell, it was like a colorful

signal. The lights of the entire city shone brightly all at the same time.

Colorful lights shot into the sky as though they were dancing with the moon and stars above the

beautiful city.

After returning from the Turner Manor, Rose Roberts arrived at the presidential suite according to the

message Frank Roberts had sent her.

When she returned to Sapphire City again, she was somewhat emotional. However, when she stood on

the top floor and looked down at the night view of Sapphire City, she was no longer in the same state of

mind. There was no longer a knot in her heart that she wanted to avoid, and there was no longer that

sense of loneliness.

It felt really good not to have a heavy stone pressing down on her chest. She felt genuinely relaxed

from head to toe.

She stood at the door of the suite and pressed the doorbell. After two minutes of dead silence, she

pressed the doorbell again and the door opened. Rose stared at Frank’s face curiously as she asked,

“What are you doing? Are you constipated? Why did you take that long?”

After Frank opened the door, he turned around and walked back into his room. He answered. “Tll go

out for a while later so don’t run around alone. You can go and play with Miss Landor instead.”

Rose was very curious about where he was going in the middle of the night. Besides, he was not as

familiar with Sapphire City as she was so she suggested kindly, “Where are you going? Why don’t I

take you around? I’m familiar with Sapphire City. I’ll take you around if you pay.”

Frank was loosely wrapped in only a white towel. Without a doubt, he had just taken a shower. He was

grabbing a white short-sleeved shirt and black jeans from his suitcase. He turned around and said to

Rose, “I’m taking off my bathrobe and changing so get out.”

Rose looked at Frank in disdain and then swept her gaze across his body. “You’re talking as though I

haven’t seen your body when we were kids. I don’t care so you can just change. Do you really not want

me to take around?”

“The night view of Sapphire City is not bad so don’t spoil the mood.”

Rose tried to entice him with her offer again.

Frank replied mercilessly, “No, I’m not as free as you.”

you

“What are you busy with? What are you doing then? Are you going on a date? Cranky Franky, do you

really have someone you like? Do you really not like Ava?”

Rose was puzzled. Why was he so busy? The things he did were extremely contradictory.

“You know, Ava didn’t seem to be in a good mood today. She probably hasn’t recovered from you

hurting her. Forget it, I’ll introduce a boyfriend to her tomorrow. I know enough decent guys in Sapphire

City.”

Rose muttered to herself about the disappointment Ava had felt during dinner just now.

As she spoke, Rose’s sharp eyes noticed a tattoo on Frank’s chest. She widened her eyes and took a

closer look.

She thought, “That can’t be right. That spot was where he got injured when he helped to block Grace’s

stab for me. I remembered that it was a long scar. How could it be a tattoo? Could it have been

tattooed in the past few years?”

Rose was especially curious about what Frank would tattoo on his body.

“Hey, let me see what’s that on your chest.”

Curiosity kills the cat, but satisfaction saved it. As she spoke, she reached out to pull Frank’s bathrobe.

However, in the end, Frank dodged it quickly and even smacked the back of her hand. Her hand

instantly turned red, and she frowned from the pain.

Frank reprimanded, “Can you act more like a girl?”

Rose was now bursting with curiosity. She raised her hand to blow at the spot where she had been hit

and continued to ask, “Did you get a tattoo? Let me take a look. It won’t hurt for me to take a look.

Come on, don’t be so petty.”

“Did

you tattoo some girl’s name? You must have. Frank Roberts, if you don’t show it to me, you must be

guilty of it.”

Rose was trying to goad him.

She hoped that after being provoked, he would immediately pull open his bathrobe and let her look at

it.

In the end, things did not turn out as she had expected. Not only did Frank not feel any agitation, but he

also avoided her like the plague.

Rose was so frustrated that she stomped her feet. She tried acting cute and even pretended to be

pitiful but Frank did not react to her at all.

Frank, who had a heart of stone, refused to show it to her no matter what. Therefore, Rose was very

certain that something fishy must be going on.

Frank took a few steps back and stayed far away from her. He was afraid that his sister would go crazy

and start pulling his bathrobe so he grabbed the sides of the bathrobe tightly and said sternly. “I’ll give

you one second to get out.“

Rose’s index and middle fingers were slightly bent as she poked towards Frank’s eyes. “Whatever. I

don’t want to see it anymore. Just don’t forget to bring me something delicious when you come back.

Look up some of Sapphire City’s special supper foods online”

Frank ignored her. After she left the room, he heaved a sigh of relief and changed hus clothes.

In a cafe in Sapphire City.

Two men sat side by side on a bench, and a man sat at the head of the table. The atmosphere was

very quiet, and they were each holding a blue and white porcelain cup.

He carefully examined the blue and white porcelain in his hand. It was of high quality and the color was

well-proportioned and distinct. It was bright, and the blue and white colors were flowery. Through the

crystal clear glaze, he could see the exquisite patterns.

It was clear and elegant.

It matched the temperament of the man sitting at the head of the table.

The man at the head of the table was very good at making coffee. His movements were practiced and

gentle. His slender and fair fingers were like a woman’s as he slowly made the coffee. He was stable

and was neither anxious nor impatient.

He picked up a cup and sniffed it. His lips curled into a faint smile as he introduced, “This is the best

coffee in Sapphire City. You guys should savor the taste carefully

Frank wasn’t someone who would savor coffee carefully and finishing one cup was already his limit. He

placed one hand flat on the table and tapped the index finger of his other hand, again and again. “Mr.

Turner, you should know why I’m here to

see you.

Trevon Wilson was only there to accompany him today. His main role was to ease the awkward

atmosphere. Now, he could somewhat be considered a part of the Turner family so he quietly drank

coffee and did what he was supposed to do. Hearing this, Joseph Turner remained calm and silent. He

continued to drink the coffee. He was immersed in the fragrance of the coffee and seemed to have no

intention of replying.

Frank was not in a hurry. He played with the high-quality blue and white porcelain cup. After a while, he

found it boring so he picked up a document at the corner of the table and handed it to Joseph.

This time, Joseph had no choice but to take it. Since he had to be polite and cultured, he took the

document first before asking. “What is this?”

The file was sealed so Joseph really couldn’t guess what Frank had brought him.

Frank picked up a glass of coffee and drank it in one go. It was as though he was drinking wine. He

replied, “You’ll know after you take a look at it, Mr. Turner.”

Joseph put down the cup of coffee and opened the file slowly. When he saw the map inside, his calm

expression cracked. He, who usually did not reveal his thoughts, broke down. He immediately asked

Frank. “What do you mean by this, Mr. Roberts?”

Frank’s eyes met Joseph’s gaze directly and did not retreat at all. “Please give me a chance.”

The Turner family also had many spies in Sapphire City and they also had such maps. Previously, he

had guessed that the Roberts family also had their own faction. However, he did not know how deep it

was. From the map, he could see that the Roberts family had people at every important point, which

were the so-called spies.

This was half of Athana’s map showing all the connections the Roberts family had. Doing this was like

putting his life in the Turner family’s hands. Although it was only half of it, once someone with ulterior

motives found out about the details of the map, the Roberts family would suffer heavy losses.

It might even happen in an instant.

Even Joseph did not expect Frank to come to him just to ask for a chance. That meant that he wanted

to rely on himself. On the day he sent him off, Joseph had already discovered that Frank had feelings

for Ava. However, Frank tried to hold himself back, hide his feelings, and even pretended not to care

about Ava. Although he hid his emotions very well, Joseph still found out about it.

Joseph shook his head in shock. He admired Frank’s actions. It was very fierce and direct. “I thought

you wanted me to Ava to you directly, but it seems like you still want to win her over yourself.”

Frank shrugged and admitted generously, “Some things can’t be left to others. It’s better to take what

you want yourself so

that it would last forever.”

He was so clear and straightforward in his words.

No wonder he had no scandals back in Athana. He knew too well what he wanted and didn’t want. He

had already secretly made a plan for the things he wanted.

Trevon, who was sitting at the side, agreed with Frank. He had chased Natalie back with all his heart.

As long as one was sincere enough, he could win anyone with his heart. Edward Landor did not

understand this and he was so afraid of failure that he chose to silently protected her. In the end, he

failed to win her over.

Joseph agreed to Frank’s request. He silently put away the map and made a decision. “Alright, since

you’re so sincere about this, I’ll keep this map for the time being. If you ever hurt my sister while you’re

here in Sapphire City, the Turner family will get back at you.”

Frank raised his eyebrows and smiled. “That won’t happen.”

After the matter was settled, the three of them stopped holding back and started chatting openly.

They talked a lot about the research base in Athana and other new projects. They also discussed the

projects that could be relocated from Sapphire City to Athana. Frank said that he could help them if

they need more power and influence.

The three men chatted until midnight.

It was already 2 AM when Frank returned to Sapphire Hotel. Rose was already fast asleep and Frank

did not buy supper either. Since she had diarrhea just now, he would not give her anything to eat at

night.

He walked into the bathroom and took a shower. Out of habit, he turned on his computer to check his

messages. His eyes stared at the chat history on the computer screen and he was momentarily dazed.

Everything was ready now so it was time.
