Chapter 560
After ending the conversation, Trevon did not put down his phone. Instead, he played with it. He spun the black phone around in his palm. He was extremely familiar with doing this. He raised his brows.
A moment later, he stopped spinning his phone and called Frank. The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.
From the sound of it, Frank was busy. He was unhappy that Trevon had disturbed him. Frank said in an unfriendly tone, “Hello.”
With just one word, Trevon could hear the displeasure in Frank’s voice. Instead of getting straight to the point, he changed and teased him first. “Are you dissatisfied after Ava left?”
“Get lost. If you have something to say, say it. I’m busy,” Frank said bluntly.
“Yup, looks like you’re definitely sexually unsatisfied. Since you’re so lonely, why don’t I bring you to Sapphire City tomorrow?”
Trevon’s offer was kind, but there was no kindness in his tone. Instead, there was mockery.
How could Frank not hear it? He could imagine Trevon’s expression through the screen and guessed, “The tomboy just gave birth?”
“Yes. Are you going or not? We’re leaving tomorrow.”
The man on the other end of the line was silent for half a minute. Then his deep voice came from the phone again. “You guys go first. I’ll go in a few days.”
“Alright. I’ll hang up if there’s nothing else.” Trevon hung up before Frank could say anything.
After hanging up the phone, he smiled. Jim, who was organizing
documents next to him, did not understand what was going on. He found his employer’s smile was a little meaningful and sinister.
Jim did not know if it was an illusion.
Trevon rolled up his sleeves and picked up his pen again. Just as he was about to sign the next document, he looked up at Jim coldly and asked, “Do you believe that Frank will go in a few days?”
“Erm, I don’t know,” Jim said. He thought, “How would I know? Mr. Roberts does things without rules. Who knows what he is thinking?”

Trevon was just looking for amusement. “Make a guess. If you’re right,
your bonus will be doubled next month. If you’re wrong, half of it will be deducted.”
The sudden question stunned Jim. It was akin to being caught in a sudden downpour on a sunny afternoon. Whether Frank went or not should have nothing to do with his bonus.
Jim wanted to cry but had no tears. He braced himself and said, “Mr. Wilson, what do you think?”
Trevon threw the pen into the pen holder. His aim was extremely accurate. “You’re quite smart. If I say it, then there’s no need for you to guess. Hurry up.”
Trevon’s interest was piqued now. He urged Jim.
Jim felt that Trevon’s brain was not right. Trevon was simply bored and entertaining himself. Jim took a deep breath. Just as he was exhaling, Trevon said, “Why don’t you just randomly pick one? My son is quite accurate each time when he does that.”
“There’s no need. I might not have the same luck as Mr. Jasper. I think Mr. Roberts will make a surprise move.”
After listening to Jim’s answer, Trevon crossed his arms and looked at Jim with interest. It made Jim’s hair stand on end.
Trevon looked at him directly for a moment without saying anything. He just kept tapping on the desk. Finally, he said indifferently, “Alright. Then, we’ll reveal the answer tomorrow and see what your fate is next month.” Jim was silent. “Please bless me, Mr. Roberts,” he thought inwardly.
If Frank heard Jim, he would have said, “I’m still fucking alive and not dead yet.”
Ava’s voice came from the courtyard of the manor. Before she entered the living room, she began shouting Stella’s name from the outside.
“Stella… I’m back.” She skipped in and looked around the house. “Mom, where’s Stella?”
Emma saw that her daughter was anxious to see Stella and rebuked, “Greet the guests properly first.”
Ava turned around and saw that her sister-in-law’s parents and her brother were in the living room. She politely called out to everyone before running off. Emma, who was standing in the living room, reminded her again, “Slow down.”

“Got it, Mom. I’m going to see my nephew.”
There would be a new baby calling her Auntie Ava. She was still incredibly excited about it.
Angie smiled and praised, “Ava is really motivated. If only our Stella is like this.” Speaking of her youngest daughter, she was quite exasperated.
Joseph sat in the armchair and said calmly, “Angie, Ms. March said that Stella has been doing quite well recently and has improved a lot.”
Daniel nodded. “It’s good that there is improvement. Ava also has to stay up late to study at night. Stella has to stay up late to work overtime. It’s all the same. They’re all slowly improving.”
Seeing that everyone was explaining for Stella, Angie could not criticize her anymore. Charlie also felt that his daughter had improved a lot. Although her improvement was slower than Christina’s, it was still considered an improvement.
It wasn’t that Stella wasn’t smart. It was just that her heart wasn’t on her work. Stella looked forward to getting off work and resting every day. Her attitude was the problem.
On the other hand, Christina was different. She took the initiative to study up. When she was free, she would work overtime. She felt that it was a waste of time to be idle. One took the initiative to study, and the other was pushed to study. The effect would definitely be greatly reduced for the latter.
Upstairs, Ava was very polite. Even if she wanted to go in to see the child, she would knock on the door. She was not sure if her sister-in-law did. not like to be watched when she fed the child. Thus, Ava thought it was more appropriate to knock on the door first. She knocked very softly. “Christina, can I come in?”
Christina’s voice came from inside the room. “Ava, come in.”
The door was opened by Stella. As soon as it was opened, the two of them hugged each other. After hugging for a while, they walked into the room hand in hand. “I thought you would only arrive at night.”
Stella began to criticize, “Why are you on the same side as my sister? You didn’t even tell me anything. We thought that we were here to accompany the delivery, but in the end, Joseph said that she had already given birth. At that time, I was completely dumbfounded. For a second there I didn’t even know what was going on and who I was.
Stella recounted the moment very vividly, with a lot of gestures. It was as

if she could not fully express the shock she had experienced if she did not express it that way.
Christina glared at her sister who was making faces and called out to Ava, “Ava, sit down. Talk properly, Stella. You came from Athana.”
“Christina, do you still know how to carry on a conversation? I really don’t know how Joseph usually chats with you.”
Stella pursed her lips and made faces at Ava.
