Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 330

At the Deepwater Bay villa, the phone in the living room kept ringing. After ringing for a long time, the phone awoke the people upstairs.

Frank’s home landline was specially designed. The phone downstairs was linked to the one upstairs. If the number of calls downstairs exceeded 10, the extension upstairs would ring.

The tireless phone rang in the quiet morning, annoying the occupant. One would want to hang up immediately.

Ava opened her sleepy eyes and squinted. She propped herself up to look for the source of the sound and finally saw the culprit on a table on her right.

The back of her hand rubbed her eyes which had yet to open. She leaned to the right and picked up the phone that was ringing. She said softly, “Hello”

There was silence on the other end of the phone. After waiting a long time. Ava did not hear the other party’s voice on the other end of the phone. She frowned and looked at the phone in her hand.

“Did that person dial the wrong number?” she wondered.

Just as she was about to put it down to go back to sleep, a questioning voice sounded, “Are you staying with him?”

Ava was confused.

Most of her fatigue disappeared after hearing the female voice.

Ava said in a hoarse voice. “Are you looking for Frank?”

Ava phrased her question carefully, thinking the other party might have been Frank’s female friend. She always liked to think positively.

“Did you sleep together last night?” the other party asked again.

That sobered Ava, and she was wide awake by then. She gazed into the distance at the green hat on the suitcase and said, “You’re the woman from last night.”

Ava was sure of it.

The other party did not answer her. Instead, she asked again as if she was a legitimate wife questioning a mistress. “You were the one who asked him to fire me. You’re not worthy of him. What he needs is a woman who can help him share his burden. You’re a gullible woman who only knows how to throw tantrums. He can do nothing but to coax you. Sooner or later, he’ll get tired of you.”

She dared to say that Ava only knew how to throw a tantrum! She wasn’t a prima donna, okay? She was a graduate student in school and had a degree. She retorted. “Auntie, my name is Ava. It’s rude to accuse others. Don’t use your subjective consciousness to define my personality and the kind of person I am. We don’t seem to know each other at all. You’re not my mother. You don’t know me. Secondly, you’re not Frank’s mother. You don’t have the right to be a matchmaker. Only Frank. would know if I’m suitable. Besides, even if I throw a tantrum, he’s the one who’s willing to coax me. What does it have to do with you? You can ask him if he’s willing to coax me.”

For the first time in her life, Ava was angered. After saying this, she heaved a sigh of relief, but her chest was still heavy. Her mood that morning was completely ruined.

The person on the other end was speechless by the young lady’s words. Firstly, she had no status. Her mood had fallen to rock bottom because she had been notified of her dismissal in the morning. She could not care less and only wanted to clarify. After all, she had a crush on him for many years.

Unexpectedly, the woman on the other end of the phone said. “You guys won’t last long. He won’t always like a young lady like you
