Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 227

The colorful and glittering lights shone brightly on the stage, and the music was at the maximum volume. It did no noisy amidst the rowdiness. Instead, it appeared to be a refreshing change in the environment.

One could listen attentively as the body and mind moved with the rhythm of the music. All the frustrations of the day. longing, entanglements, and emotions were cast away in this place. The bar hail always been a place where many people sought transient joy.

The temporary numbness of unpleasant emotions was, in fact, an illusion. Many people understood, but they chose to indulge in self-deception

They were only seeking a brief moment of release and a chance to let go and unwind.

The VIP seats on the second floor attracted the attention of the people on the first floor. Many of them looked up to admire VIPS. Many wished they had a pair of wings and could fly straight to them.

The four women sat in pairs. Not only were they dressed beautifully, but they also possessed enviable looks, figures, and charm.

However, not everyone was allowed to go up to the second floor. The second-generation heirs on the first floor were eager to reach out to them, but alas, they seemed unattainable.

The table was full of fruit wine, non-alcoholic beverages, yogurt, fruits, nuts, and potato chips. The food seemed a little out of place in the bar

The area did not seem to belong to a bar. Instead, it looked like a movie theater.

Natalie, dressed in a pair of jeans and a simple shirt, was seated comfortably on the couch. She was supporting her head with one hand. She warned Ava. “You can only drink non-alcoholic beverages or yogurt.”

After much cajoling. Joseph finally allowed Ava to go to the bar. Although she was surrounded by Joseph’s men, she was still delighted that she could come out that night. Tim not going to drink any alcohol. If I drink any wine, Joseph won’t allow me to come out in the future”

The playful Ava was already planning for future nights out. Seeing how disciplined Ava was, Natalie did not say any further.

Sherri had not been to a bar for a long time. She scammed the people on the dance floor on the first floor and asked Ava. “There is only one bar worth going to, and that is Lathern Club”

Rose took a sip of the fruit wine and shrugged. “It Cranky Franky can’t even earn money from his businesses, he should just disappear from the face of the earth.”

Sherri was stunned to hear Frank’s nickname. Although she found the nickname to be very apt for him, it still sounded strange. “Cranky Franky?”

“Rose, can I ask you a question? Are you sure he’s your blood brother?”

Rose said disdainfully. “It can’t be more real than this. I hate to admit this, but he is truly my brother.”

Sherri sighed. “Hey, why do you change so much after you’ve grown up? I remember that we were sitting together in class, you are very lat Look at your figure now”

After Sherri finished speaking, she gestured around Rose’s body to illustrate the significant difference between now and

then

Rose leaned against the couch lazily and crossed her legs, eating a cherry tomato. “I need to make the class teacher do some work. Otherwise, he’ll be too bored.”

Sherri was speechless, thinking. “How did Rose come out with such strange logic?”

Natalie was very curious as to why Rose despised Frank so much. She was under the impression that elder brothers would usually dote on their younger sisters. Both Ava and Sherri had very doting brothers. Natalie wondered if she had a misconception about how siblings should behave.

She wondered if there was any bad blood between Frank and Rose.

However, it did not seem like there was any grudge between them. Natalie only thought about this for a few seconds. She is not a nosy person by nature. She thought, perhaps, everyone had their way of getting along.

Thinking so, Natalie decided not to probe further.

On the other hand, Ava felt differently. She felt an urge to clarify what she wanted to know “Rose, why do you dislike your brother so much? Are you not on good terms with him?”

Rose leaned against the back of the couch and scoffed. How could they possibly be on good terms? “Do you know why I call hum Cranky Franky? No doubt he is good-looking, but he has a foul mouth. What a pity*
