Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 657

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, "I was wrong, Miss Blackwell, I was wrong. Please make Jasper let me go, I promise I 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 I 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'll 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.

Hearing this, Ruby stopped what she was doing with the tape measure. She smiled and said a little loudly, "He's my brother, right, brother?"

The two of them looked at each other from afar. A strange atmosphere surrounded them. Neither of them spoke and just looked at each other. The assistant felt that the way the two of them interacted was a little strange. It was sometimes far and sometimes close. She couldn't find an adjective to describe their relationship.

It was just strange, and she did not intend to continue asking. The assistant felt that Jasper's cold expression just now was quite scary. His entire body was emitting cold air, like a cold air cooler.

Now that he was silent, he did not look easy to get along with. The assistant retreated timidly and held her breath. She did not want to be implicated in the battle between the two of them. She secretly hid in a corner and tidied up the fabric, trying not to make any sound. Her breathing frequency had been adjusted.

Time passed minute by minute. No one looked away. In the end, it was Jasper who looked away first. He coughed dryly and said, "You don't need compensation for helping you chase away the business?"

Ruby lowered her head and was silent for a while. She seemed to be thinking. She tucked her hair behind her ear and hung the tape measure around her neck, hanging it naturally in front of her chest.

After a while, Ruby smiled and said, "If you want to compensate me, I won't reject it. How do you plan to compensate me? I'm fine with Google Pay or credit cards. It's up to you."

As she spoke, Ruby deliberately took the money-sweeping code from the bar counter and the card machine. She held it in her hand and asked, "Brother, which way do you want to pay?"

Brother?

For some reason, Jasper felt a lump in his throat. 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 dollars."

Hearing this, Jasper fell silent and smiled. He handed the card to Ruby for her to swipe. Google Pay was not convenient to transfer so much money.

Ruby took the bank card in a good mood and operated it skillfully. A few seconds later, Jasper received a payment message on his phone.

He smiled again at the numbers on his phone's text message and slipped the phone back into his pocket.

Ruby's phone rang as well. It was probably a message from her bank account. Ruby did not look at it. She knew that it was from her bank account. "I'll measure your size for you. Come here."

Seeing that Jasper was still standing there looking at her, Ruby urged, "Are you going to be measured? If you won't, I will do my business."

The assistant was speechless. What kind of interaction was this? Weren't they talking about compensation just now? Why were they measuring the clothes now?

A few seconds later, Jasper walked up to Ruby as if he was afraid that she would not take his measurements. His tall figure completely covered her body. The assistant could only see Jasper's back and could no longer see Ruby.

The assistant glanced from time to time.

Jasper lowered his eyes to look at the girl who was shorter than him. Her slightly curly brown hair was casually tied up with a rubber band, and her bangs were beautiful. The curly hair on both sides of her face fell on both sides and curled up slightly. The fragrance of the ends of her hair invaded his nose and was very pleasant.
