Chapter 408
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Chapter 408 For the rest of the time, Edward went to pick up Rose for lunch every afternoon. No matter what, Rose temporarily left the organization.
Only Sherri and Natalie were left in the hospital.
Soon, it was May 27th.
On this day. Rose returned from her meal as usual. However, she did not look for Sherri and the others. Instead, she went straight to the HR department to apply for leave.
When she came out after applying for leave, she bumped into Natalie coming out of the washroom. She glanced at the leave slip in her hand and asked, âAre you applying for leave?â
Rose glanced at the note in her hand and replied, âYes, Iâll tell you what to do. You canât tell Ava. Isnât tomorrow Avaâs birthday? My brother is preparing to propose to Ava and then settle the marriage first.â
When Natalie heard this, she felt that Frank must have planned this for a long time. However, the two of them had been dating for a few months. Both families knew about it. Whether it was Ava or Frank, they were all devoted people who wanted to get married.
âYour pediatrics department has been quite busy recently. What excuse did you use to apply for leave? Will the HR department let you go?â
Natalie asked curiously.
Rose smiled and handed the note to Natalie. She said softly, âThis stays between us. Donât tell your Old Trevon.â
This made Natalie even more curious. At the same time, she felt that the reason was definitely not simple. She took the note and looked at it. She looked up at Rose suspiciously. âAre you sure this is good?â
Rose took back the leave slip and stuffed it into her pocket. âI canât think of a way either. Besides, itâs not easy to apply for leave now. Iâve used up all the reasons I could think of last time. I used this reason to be coherent.â
The reason said on the note was imprinted in Natalieâs mind. âMy brother is going to be removed from the family tree tomorrow and officially become a live-in son-in-law. The entire family is sad. Iâm afraid that my parents will do something stupid. I hope the leader will allow me to look after my parents. Thank youâ
She finally knew why Trevon Wilson couldnât find out. This reason was probably the only reason in the world that Rose could think of. Even Sherri wasnât at such a high realm.
In the end, Natalie silently gave Rose a thumbs up. âYouâre really awesome. You might have been left behind by aliens in Athana for fun.â
âItâs a secretâ After saying that, Rose made a clicking gesture, indicating that she wanted to silence her.
Natalie changed the topic. âIâve already sent the gift over. A few days ago, I was still planning to apply for leave, but Aunt and the others didnât agree, so I sent the gift over. It should be about today. When he proposes, remember to help Ava take photos and record beautiful memories. As her elder sister, I might not be able to go. Iâll leave this mission to you.â
Natalie felt a little regretful and apologetic.
Rose comforted her warmly. She knew that Ava was very important to Natalie. He hugged Natalieâs shoulder and said, âHey, arenât you pregnant? If you werenât pregnant, you would have died long ago. Ava can understand. Iâll broadcast it live for you guys.â
âOkay, thank you.â
âItâs not a big deal. Taking photos is my hobby. Iâm very skilled.â
Natalie admitted that Roseâs post was better at taking photos of living things or herself.
In the evening, the Roberts family boarded the plane.
On the plane, Rose sent a message to her brother. âWeâre ready to set off. Youâve been in Sapphire City for a week. Are you done?â
âYes.
âI really donât know how Ava can stand your stinginess for words. I wonât ask you for money even if I say another word.â This time, Frank replied with four words. âIt depends on people.â
âCrap.â
After the plane took off, Rose started sleeping. She might need to help her brother see if he had missed anything at night. She would probably have to stay up late. If she slept for a while now, she could still sleep for a few hours.
William was a little excited. Back when he was working hard, he had never thought that he would have a son who would
propose marriage one day.
At that time, he was prepared to be hacked to death at any time. He did not expect to live so long and have a son and a daughter. He also had a beautiful and cold wife. He sighed. âGracie, are you excited?â
William rarely used this name. It was only when he was aroused, or when he made a mistake, or when he wanted to express his emotions.
Grace glanced at him. âWhat are you trying to say?â
âI want to say that weâre very happy. Our son is about to be engaged. I never thought that I, William Roberts, would have such a day.â
Grace understood what he meant. She reached out and interlocked her fingers with his. âDidnât you say that your life would get better and better with you? Now that youâve done it, youâre even lamenting.â
âGracie, youâre my lucky star.â
Graceâs eyes flashed, and she held his hand even tighter. The warmth of their palms allowed them to feel each otherâs feelings. Even without saying a word, she knew what this action meant.
A few hours later.
The plane landed at the airport of Sapphire City. Frank was already waiting at the airport. Seeing them come out, he stepped forward to get the suitcase.
After Williamâs luggage was taken away by his son, he held Graceâs hand. Grace did not refuse. Being held by him was an invisible indulgence.
Rose took three steps forward and pushed her suitcase to her brother. She naturally held her brotherâs wrist. âTm so tired. At least you have a conscience to pick us up.â
Frank glanced at her in disdain, but he did not shake her hand off. He pulled the two suitcases with one hand and said. angrily. âIâm here to pick up Grace, William. You can do whatever you want.â
Rose pouted and leaned against Frank. âYouâve forgotten about your sister after getting a wife. Forget it, I wonât argue with you on account that an old leftover man like you has finally caught someoneâs eye.â
Frank took the Roberts couple and Rose to the Sapphire Hotel and put their luggage in the presidential suite that they had booked in advance.
Rose shared a suite with Grace and William The night was dark and the moon was shining brightly.
An office in the Sapphire Hotel. It was wide. Seven people were sitting in the coffee room with a stack of documents on the table.
A woman was wearing a simple and elegant gown, with flowers blooming in summer. Her hair was tied up with a bright white jade hairpin. She was dignified, elegant, and gentle. She also had the charm of a lady.
As for the other woman, it formed a contrast. She was wearing black wide-legged trousers and a casual shirt. Her collarbone hair was casually tied behind. Her entire face was cold, making it impossible to tell her age, but she had a strong aura.
On the other hand, the men were dressed much simpler. One was wearing a formal gray suit, and the other was wearing a white suit.
On such an occasion, Rose needed to reduce her presence. When she entered, she had already politely called out to someone. She lowered her head and sat beside her brother, pursing her lips without saying a word. She was here today to be a witness and appear for free.
Daniel Turner, who was wearing a gray suit, spoke first. He was approachable and did not have the airs of a rich man. âItâs been hard on you to come all the way here. If you have anything youâre not satisfied with staying in the hotel, feel free to mention it.â
William politely greeted, âTheyâre all quite good. I heard from Frank that this hotel is yours. This is many times better than Frankâs hotel.â
âMr. Roberts, youâre too kind. Your son is very capable. Grand Manor is not inferior to my Sapphire Hotel.â
Grace didnât like such formalities. She liked to be direct, but todayâs occasion was different. She didnât plan to continue the small talk. She glanced at Emma Turner, who had been sitting upright and dignified. Her red lips moved slightly. âI hope you can forgive me for coming so suddenly today. I believe Mr. Turner and Mrs. Turner know our family. My name is Grace Roberts, and Iâm Frankâs mother. Weâre here today mainly to propose on behalf of our son. I wonder if Mr. Turner and Mrs. Turner have any thoughts.
Today, youâre the first and weâre the second. Donât be polite just because weâre guests.â
William chimed in, âThatâs right, Mr. Turner. If you have any thoughts, feel free to ask. Weâll think of a way to satisfy you if we can. Itâs all for the sake of the child.â
Joseph couldnât help but look up at the woman who spoke directly. He had investigated Frankâs mother. It could be said that there was no need to investigate. He would know after asking.
She was very famous. When she was ruthless, she was even more ruthless than Frankâs father. She did things cleanly. Frank directly inherited his motherâs genes. Without any nonsense, he went straight to the point.
An hour ago, Frank called Joseph and directly said that he wanted to propose to Ava. He also told Joseph his plans for tomorrow and hoped to give the phone to Avaâs father, Daniel Turner.
When Daniel picked up the phone, Frank was polite and direct. He told him his thoughts and even made a guarantee.
In the end, the three of them agreed to come to the Sapphire Hotel because Frank was going to surprise Ava tomorrow.
Upon hearing this. Emma smiled gently and elegantly picked up the coffee cup, and took a sip. She gently put it down and continued to pursed her lips without saying anything.
With his parents around, Frank chose not to make a sound. He knew that his mother could handle things well. Rose lowered her head and paced around the few of them.
Daniel agreed with Williamâs words. A rich family like theirs just wanted to see every child happy. âMr. Roberts is right. Itâs for the child. We quite like Frank Ava also likes him. Otherwise, our requests are secondary. We only have one request. Ava can be happy. At home, she is pampered by us like a princess. As a father, I definitely hope that there will be someone who can replace us and pamper her for the rest of my life.
âAlthough Ava is not old and has lived at the top of the pyramid since she was young, she is not arrogant and domineering. I believe that you can feel this after being together for so long. She is different from other princesses. She does not have princess syndrome.â
Frank nodded and responded politely. He reached out to refill Mr. Turnerâs glass and refilled his parentsâ glass. âI know. I like Ava, not for her family.
Just as Ava said, she likes me as a person. Iâm the same for no other reason.â
Daniel thought, âIs this kid telling us that Ava only likes him? Is this a pointer?â
Joseph curled his lips in a way that no one could see. He picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. His gaze landed on Frank. Frank smiled and reached out to refill his cup.
William placed a stack of documents in front of the Turner family and explained, âThis is the sincerity we brought. Mr. Turner can ask for it again. Iâm not very cultured. I wonât say beautiful words.â
Grace noticed that Daniel did not take it. Instead, Emma glanced at it. Grace had always been observant. She could also tell that although the person speaking for the Turner family was a man, the most useful person to talk to was still this gentle and silent woman.
âMrs. Turner, why donât you take a loqk?â
Emma picked up the information and looked at it. Daniel naturally did not object. He mainly did not know what his wife was thinking and did not dare to agree rashly.
The betrothal gifts were made into a concise list of gifts. There were 50% shares of the Roberts Group and a jewelry company. All the shares under the name of Frank in Lithern Club, Grand Manor were written as betrothal gifts. There were 88 miscellaneous shares. The meaning was quite good.
Putting down the list of gifts, Emma handed the documents to her husband beside her. She sat upright with her hands on her lap and replied in a soft voice, âI agree to this marriage. But the gifts are too expensive. Just as my husband said, we only want Ava to be happy. Frank, can you do that and cherish Ava forever?â
âI promise.â Then, Frank took out all the defensive maps of the Roberts family and placed them on the table. âMy life is in your hands.â
When the Turner family saw these things, they were all shocked, including Joseph. They understood how eager Frank wanted to marry Ava. Not only the defensive map of Athana but all of them.
Without using anything else, the importance of the last piece of information to the Roberts family was self-evident. In the end, Emma did not take it and took a piece of Athanaâs. âIf we donât take it at all, it will show that weâre not qualified as Avaâs parents. Weâll take the piece of Athana as a reminder to you to always remember your promise in the future. How about that Frank promised again, âThank you, Madam. I wonât go back on my word.â
Emma smiled and nodded.
In the end, Daniel said after his wife finished speaking. âFrank, we agree now, but if Ava doesnât agree to your proposal tomorrow, our agreement wonât count. You still have to work hard.â
âI know, Mister.â
Even so, the Turner family knew that it was impossible for Ava to refuse. They could tell how much this girl liked Frank.
In the end, regarding the betrothal gift, the Turner family did not ask for the Roberts familyâs shares, nor did they intend to let Frank leave with nothing from the koberts family. They knew the impact of the change in Roberts Group shares in Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

The Turner family repeatedly refused to accept 10% at most, no more. Just like when Trevon Wilson proposed marriage. Ava was going to be happy, and they were not selling their daughter, The only requirement was for Ava to be happy. They would treat Ava well in the future.
