Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 139

In a room in Lithern Club, Frank Roberts was sleeping. The club stayed open late last night, and he only went to bed in the early morning. Now he was abruptly awakened by a phone call.

Stretching his smooth arm, he groped around randomly but found nothing. Irritated, he opened his eyes and realized that his phone was at the bedside instead of under his pillow. No wonder he could not find it by feeling around.

Glancing at the caller displayed on the screen, he really did not feel like answering. But out of a sense of brotherhood, he reluctantly picked up the call on speakerphone and placed it on the pillow. With a closed-eyed and impatient tone, he said, ‘Speak

Hackett Blackwell did not feel like joking around today and got straight to the point. “Help me find out who did it.”

Frank sensed the seriousness in Hackett’s tone but could not resist expressing his annoyance at being awakened. “Don’t you know how to speak the language politely? Not even calling my name when you are asking me for help.”

As soon as Hackert heard the reply, he knew that Frank was still sleeping, he sighed. “Mia got hamstrung, and I want to know who did it to give my mom an explanation. My uncle just passed away, and now people are blaming Mr. Wilson for it. They’re adamant about it, waiting to turn the tables and seek revenge.”

On the other end, Frank laughed upon hearing this. He yawned, opened his eyes, and propped himself up with one side of his body. “Mia has changed her last name back. Aren’t you afraid of people saying that you guys are cold and heartless?”

“Is this the main point of our conversation now? When did you become so gossipy?”

Frank ignored his words and said directly, “It can’t be Mr. Wilson. He always leaves a name behind in his actions. This kind of sneaky thing is not his style. I will help you check on Edward Landor”

Hackett was a little puzzled. What does Edward have to do with the situation with Mia? They have nothing to do with each other. “Are you not awake or what? Why are you checking on him? You should investigate the wife of that sugar daddy.”

Frank wanted to criticize Hackett for his lack of using his brain. “If Mia did not fucking drug Sherri Landor, would you have been able to sleep with her?”

Hackett suddenly realized. “Why didn’t I think of that? So Edward knows about me and his sister.”

A mocking tone came through the phone. “How would I know? Am I your mom? I have to get all the answers prepared when
