Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

The leader was tempted. There were a few times when Ruby went to the construction site to look for Hackett, but the man in front of her saw her a few times and kept asking around. Recently, when he found out that Ruby had opened a studio, he couldn't help but bring his two sidekicks over.

Seeing this, the other sidekick became weak. He guessed that the person in front of him was not simple and shut his mouth. The other sidekick kept screaming and could not say a word.

It was noisy enough.

Jasper casually lowered his head and played with his fingers. He rubbed his fingertips and his deep eyes were filled with frost.

There was no warmth at all as he asked, "What was it again, what Larsen?" The person in the lead smiled. His face was stiff from smiling. He had just taken a step when he turned back. It seemed like he had a bad start today. He had heard that the Wilson family and the Blackwell family had the intention to get married, but the news he had heard confirmed that the two of them were not a couple. They did not usually go out together.

"Sam, Sam Larsen. These two words are quite easy to remember. You don't have to remember a small fry like me, Jasper.” Jasper sneered. "I'm very free. Or is your family too big? Do you think that you've earned too much from the Blackwell family? Do you think that the Larsen family is the only sand quarry in Athana?" His tone was calm, but it was filled with coldness. His eyes were filled with disdain.

The assistant was a little dumbfounded. Why didn't Ruby's friend help out just now? She was so nervous. She did have some trifling skills, but she couldn't defeat three men.

As soon as Jasper said this, Sam was even more afraid. If his father found out, he would definitely beat Sam to death. The first time Sam asked his father, Mason, about Ruby, he was scolded and warned. This time, he came secretly.

Sam apologized sincerely, "| was wrong, Miss Blackwell, | was wrong. Please make Jasper let me go, | promise | won't come again." He kept apologizing, but deep down, he was not convinced. He felt that Jasper was being nosy. Jasper did not go up and stop him, but a wise man did not fight when the odds were against him. He retreated when he should and waited for Ruby to speak.

After a while, Ruby spoke up. She did not want to spend the entire morning on such a trivial matter, nor did she want to see these people. She glanced at Jasper and said gently, "Let them go. Don't come into my studio again.” She didn't welcome him. They even called Jasper a dumbass just now. It didn't sound good.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jasper remained silent. The three of them waited while Ruby carefully tugged at the corner of Jasper's shirt.

Jasper turned around and stared at Ruby for a while. When he saw that the three of them did not move, he looked up and glanced at them coldly. "Why, do you want me to go with you to relocate your chin?" "No need, no need. We'll do it ourselves. Goodbye, Jasper. Goodbye, Miss Blackwell.” No one paid attention to these people. They stared coldly at the backs of the few flies as they left.

At the door, another lackey was unconvinced and asked angrily. They were used to being domineering and had some money on them. This was the first time they had suffered a loss. They were unconvinced. "Sam, we're too cowardly. Let's not just let it go." Sam spat out a mouthful of saliva. "This person's surname is Wilson. How can | fucking go against him? Ah, it's just that he has a family a little better than me. If Trevon Wilson wasn't his father, he, Jasper, would be nothing. Pfft, I'l go back and plan. I've never suffered such cowardice before. Let's go." As he spoke, he turned around and glanced at the name of the studio. Only RB. He couldn't pronounce it, and without a high education, he couldn't guess the meaning of this name.

He spat on the ground again. His behavior was a strong contrast to his clothes. He called his two lackeys to leave.

After the toads left, the studio fell silent. However, Jasper had no intention of leaving. He jumped down from the table and leaned against a pillar with his hands in his pockets. Ruby was about to thank him politely when her assistant walked over. "Ruby, is this your boyfriend?" Jasper suddenly looked up at Ruby, who was already working with her head lowered. A strand of hair fell from her forehead and covered the corners of her beautiful eyes.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the innocent and harmless Ruby. There was a smile on her face. He exhaled. "How much?" He curled his lips slightly and took out his phone, preparing to transfer the money. He asked, "Google Pay, I'll transfer it to you." Ruby could not help but smile. She bit her lower lip to suppress her smile. "The price of kinship is 20 thousand
