Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 525

Frank motioned to Chris, signaling him to step outside for a conversation. When Chris caught Frank’s gaze, he promptly rose from his seat. Such formal occasions were not to his liking.

The crux of the matter was that it was nearly impossible for him to get a word in. The primary objective was to make up the numbers.

During Sherri’s wedding, Stella and Ava had the honor of being bridesmaids together. They made a great pair, both talkative and cheerful, effortlessly striking up a conversation with just a few words.

Seeing her brother had departed, Stella wanted to quietly exit, but she needed a pretext. She put her hopes on Ava. “Mom, I’ll take Ava upstairs to play. You all continue your chat.”

Angie wasn’t mainly focused on her youngest daughter; she wanted to be undisturbed. She dismissed her with a casual wave. “Sure, go on, enjoy yourselves.”

With the green light from her mother, Stella waved to Ava and gestured for her to join her upstairs for some fun. Ava turned to Emma beside her and said, “Mom, I’m going to play with Stella.”

Emma smiled and replied gently, “Go ahead, just don’t cause any trouble.”

“Got it.”

Angie observed the interaction between the mother and daughter and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. She was genuinely impressed by their refined and genteel demeanor. In contrast, Angie couldn’t help but feel she belonged on the list of male companions.

However, it was probably challenging for her to get upset with such a woman. She wasn’t concerned about the prospect of Christina marrying into her future mother-in-law’s family because her future mother-in-law was exceptionally gentle.

As the children left, leaving only the elders, Grace asked directly, “Did Christina say Joseph is a professor?”

Angie nodded. “Yes, Christina mentioned that. She said he’s a professor. Is that not true?”

They were all puzzled about how this misunderstanding had arisen. Perhaps only the people involved knew. Daniel smiled and explained, “Mr. and Mrs. Yamin, Joseph works for the company’s CEO. We have our own company in Sapphire City, and he currently manages it. He probably doesn’t have the time to be a professor at a university. There must be a misunderstanding.”

Charlie was speechless upon hearing this. The difference between a professor and a CEO was substantial.

Angie, too, was taken aback. She wondered why Christina insisted that her boyfriend was a professor when he wasn’t. Angie began to consider various possibilities, including the idea that her daughter might be concealing the existence of another boyfriend.

But that didn’t seem likely. Christina wasn’t the type to be fickle. There must be a misunderstanding they weren’t aware of.

Daniel nodded in unison. Their expressions were very certain. Joseph had impressive educational qualifications, but he was not a professor.
