Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 356

Ava had learned quite a bit in just half an hour. Excited, she turned to look at Frank, and her lips

brushed against his. At this moment, she couldn’t look away from his burning gaze.

Once again, Frank passionately kissed her while slowly turning her around. After a while, he gently laid

her on the bed. Out of habit, Ava locked Frank’s neck with her arms. She liked that feeling which gave

her a sense of security and belonging

Frank hugged Ava’s waist, feeling the nice silky material Suppressing the desire to explore everything

that was under the silk. Frank pulled away from the kiss and placed his hands on Ava’s waist, towering

over her. His eyes were slightly red as he said. “Sleep.

Then, he lay down on the side and quickly pulled the blanket over Ava. Instantly, the blanket

suppressed his burning emotions. Reluctant, he rubbed her delicate lips. Stop fooling around. Go to

bed.”

Ava’s hands were tightly clasped together under the blanket. “Frank-”

Frank seemed to know what Ava wanted to say. He smiled and shook his head, interrupting her by

pinching her blush

cheeks

However, tears soon well up in Ava’s eyes. She thought, “How deeply does a man love a woman to

control his desires because he couldn’t bear to hurt her” Touched, she hid in his arms under the blanket

and hugged him tightly. “Can you wait until I fall asleep before you leave?”

“Okay Sleep” A light kiss landed on Ava’s forehead.

It was late at night, and the world was asleep. Ava was sleeping very quietly, but Frank could not fall

asleep. Instead, he stared at her sleeping face under the dim light.

Ava was quiet and cute. like a pure white lower that could not be tainted, and he wished to always

protect her.

Her hair was pushed to the sides of her face, and Frank slowly imprinted Ava’s exquisite features into

his mind. After a while. he pulled her into his arms with mixed feelings.

Ten minutes later, he stood up and left. He gently closed the door and opened Rose’s room.

Rose thought that Frank would not enter her room and had already fallen asleep on the bed.

The next morning. Natalie and Trevon woke up early. They dressed up and went downstairs to find

Mary in the living room.

Natalie greeted politely, “Mary?”

Mary replied happily. “Mrs. Wilson, Mr. Wilson said you need someone to care for you! That’s why I

came over. Don’t worry! I can take good care of you and Jasper.”

Natalie thanked her politely She believed in Mary’s meticulousness. “Thank you, Mary

Mary wiped her hands on her apron. “It’s my pleasure! I’m honored that such an important task is

handed to me.”

After breakfast, Natalie and Trevon went to the Wilson’s residence to deal with some matters. Before

departing. Trevon wanted to give Frank a call, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. Trevon

guessed that Ava should have slept in Deepwater Bay last night.

Instead, he called Jim. “Go to the Roberts family and bring the person to the Wilson’s residence.”

After that, he hung up and drove to the Wilson’s residence.

Carlos had arrived early at the Wilson’s residence and had been waiting for Trevon. Unaware of the

situation, Peggy thought that Natalie, her new daughter-in-law, would greet them. Little did Peggy know

that Theo, who doted on Natalie, had exempted her from this segment.

Seeing them enter, Carlos, who was already dissatisfied, became even more gloomy. He criticized,

Trevon, you should. teach Natalie the rules of our household. Our elders have already arrived, but as

the newest member of the family, why hasn’t she arrived yet? How could she make us wait for half an

hour? Isn’t she putting on airs?”

Trevon acted as if he did not hear Carlos speaking and sat down on the sofa on the other side. Theo

seemed to have blocked Carlos’ question and asked with concern. “Did you eat breakfast?”

Natalie answered, “Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I ate before coming over.”

She did not greet Carlos and his family and her attitude made Carlos even angrier. He snorted. “Look

at how disrespectful

she is!”

Then, Rachel took the initiative to sit down, saying, “Jasper is still sleeping. We had too much fun last

night and stayed up a

little late.”

“Thank you for taking care of him, Mom”

Rachel gave a slight response.

It seemed that giving a short response was a strong trait in this family.

Trevon held Natalie’s hand and leaned back on the sofa. Then, he looked at Carlos and his family

casually.

Max, Ted, Peggy, and Carlos were present except for Emily

Max looked a little silly, not sure if it was because he was crippled, so he had dark circles under his

eyes. His complexion. wasn’t great as well. Perhaps he had some psychological problems.

Looking at his unfocused gaze, Natalie’s first thought was that he had gone crazy from taking too much

medicine. She heard from the servant that Max had been taking medicine for treatment recently.

Trevon did not want to ask and pretended not to see him. Instead, he turned his sharp gaze to Carlos.

“Carlos, have you been thinking of being vegan for a while? If you do, I have some good

recommendations.”

His tone was no longer respectful.

Carlos was stunned by Trevon’s sharp gaze but quickly adjusted his emotion. “What do you mean by

that? Why are you being so sarcastic early in the morning?”

Peggy added, “That’s right. My father was just asking you to teach Natalie some house rules.”

Trevon retorted, “I don’t think there’s a problem with my wife’s rules. Her rules are my rules. At the very

least, my wife won’t do anything fratricidal or think about murder at will. What do you think, Carlos? Is

that the truth?”

After that, he quickly added. “What can be more unruly than murder and arson? There shouldn’t be

any, right? What do guys think?”

Ted replied faintly, “Yes.”

you

Peggy didn’t know what was going on. Why was Trevon talking about murder and arson? Then, she

urged, “It’s getting late. We still have to go to the hospital later. Max is undergoing treatment now.

Natalie, hurry up if you want to pay your respect.

Rachel looked at Peggy as if she was looking at a fool. Then, she frowned slightly. “Do we have to go

through this ritual?”

Peggy widened her eyes in shock. “You want to skip such an important ritual?”

Rachel’s face was cold. “Yes.”

Peggy argued, “You should’ve told us earlier. You’re wasting our time! Besides, who wouldn’t go

through this ritual as a new family member?”

Peggy rambled on, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Ted was speechless.

Carlos’s expression darkened as he could guess the true meaning of Trevon’s words. He felt vaguely

uneasy but he couldn’t get through to any of his bodyguards

Rachel asked, “Did I notify you that I want to perform the ritual? Didn’t you come uninvited?”

Peggy was speechless. You…”

Theo could not be bothered to watch them argue. Feeling uncomfortable, he said to Trevon, who was

watching the show. “Bring the person over. Let thein leave after settling the matter.”

Jim received the message and dragged the person in. The person’s face was brutally beaten up, and it

was obvious that Grace’s men showed no mercy.

When the people in the living room saw the person whose face and clothes were covered in blood, they

couldn’t help but gasp.

Carlos definitely knew who this person was. Yet, he pretended to say, “What’s the meaning of this?

You’re not going to perform the ritual and you’re even bringing such an unlucky person into our home?”

Trevon teased. “Unlucky? Isn’t this your personal bodyguard? The one working in the dark. Don’t tell

me I caught the wrong person?”

Carlos’ back stiffened and he refused to admit it. “I don’t know who he is. Don’t slander me

However, Trevon didn’t want to waste any more time. It seemed they had to take desperate measures

so he gave Jim a look. Immediately. Jim took out a recording pen from his pocket and pressed the

button “You have to kill Caleb Wilson today! Remember to destroy the evidence. If you don’t do it

properly. I will make sure you’re dead!”

The bodyguard said, “Mr. Wilson, I’m sorry. It was my negligence.”

Carlos replied, “Useless fool! How could you fail at such an easy task? You can’t even kill someone by

crashing them with car. Tell me! What’s the point of hiring you?”

The voice message was played one by one, and there were many more shameful incident. The last

recording by the bodyguards was Jasper’s car accident.

Carlos said, “Ive received news that Natalie Foster’s child is Trevon’s biological son. Find a way to

track her down and kill the child when the chance prevails. Max’s child must be born first. As long as

the eldest son doesn’t have a child, the second son will inherit the Wilson family.”

The bodyguard replied, “Mr. Wilson, the maid used her life to protect that child. 1-*

The sound of Carlos smashing his phone could be heard in the recording. It was obvious that he was

furious.

After the recording ended, the living room was silent. Ted turned to look at hus father. “Dad, did you

really do all these?” Seeing that the evidence was irrefutable, Carlos admitted it. He did not expect this

traitor to record every mission that was given to him. In the end, he said. “Yes. I did it. I want to break

the Wilson family’s stupid rules. Why is the eldest son only eligible to inherit the family business? How

am I inferior to you? I’m restricted because of the family rules!”

The bodyguard said. “Mr. Carlos Wilson also ordered me to think of a way to kidnap Jasper in

exchange for the Wilson family’s position during Trevon’s wedding. However, for some reason, the

wedding schedule was changed. I couldn’t find Jasper at all, so the mission failed”

After a pause, the body guard confessed everything he knew in order to make a contribution.

“However, Mr. Wilson had a backup plan and even hired a lot of assassins to ambush at the wedding. If

my plan fails, someone will kill Mr. Wilson at the wedding”

The wedding schedule was suddenly changed because Natalie was pregnant. Trevon communicated

with the host overnight, so not many people knew about it. Besides, why did they have to inform so

many people about the wedding schedule? However, Carlos did not feel that he was in the wrong at all.

Instead, he voiced out his doubts to Trevon. “Why did you change the wedding schedule? Have you

always been guarding against me?”

At this moment. Trevon’s eyes were filled with malice Tm afraid you think too highly of yourself. If I say

that I care more about my wife, won’t it be a bigger blow to you?”

Caleb, who had been silent, suddenly sighed. “Carlos, when I woke up from the accident, my father

had talked to me. Then. you used your broken leg to prove your innocence, and we were willing to

believe you. No one had wanted to pursue the matter. My father knew what you’ve been doing in secret

all these years. It’s just that you didn’t do anything outrageous, so he turned a blind eye to it. He was

just following Grandpa’s instructions.

“You really shouldn’t target the child and Trevon again. I never thought that this matter had anything to

do with you. We stopped pursuing the matter because we still had some expectations for you. I didn’t

expect you to be so ruthless, and we really couldnt find out anything. You even made the driver of the

car accident commit suicide. How many lives did you sacrifice? Can you even sleep peacefully at

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

night?”

Then, Caleb wiped his tears. “How old is Jasper? If Natalie’s maid didn’t get in your way, you’d take

their lives. You’ve committed sins, and all the sins you’ve committed will be your future generations’

responsibility to bear. Why do you think your grandson is crippled Don’t you understand! There’s no

one in this world who wouldn’t fight back after being beaten.”

Joseph was ruthless, but he had always been protective. When he took action, he destroyed Carlos’

bloodline so they wouldn’t have any more hope.

Looking at how agitated her husband was. Rachel patted his back. “Bring Dad up. Trevon and I will

handle this.”

Caleb and Theo were done with this situation, so Caleb helped Theo up the stairs. When Theo saw his

younger brother break his leg. he had shown mercy. Now that evidence was before him, he felt hollow.

Also, he felt guilty toward Caleb. At this point, his gaze was blurry, and his footsteps were no longer

firm.

Natalie turned around and glanced at them. Her heart ached as she retracted her gaze. Being kind to

someone without a conscience was like feeding a stray animal. Even a stray animal knew good and

bad.

Then, Jim projected a video on his phone to the television in the living room. It was Jasper playing

alone in the living room. Peggy secretly went to the living room and hit Jasper several times. However.

Jasper glanced at her coldly without any fear.

Jasper’s reaction angered Peggy, so she hit him again. Then, Jasper turned around and glared at her

angrily. After a while. Rachel came out of the kitchen with strawberries. The entire process only took a

few minutes. When Rachel returned, Peggy even glared at the maids in the living room, implying that

they should keep their mouths shut.

After seeing the video, Rachel had already stood up before Natalie could do anything. A loud slap

sounded in the living room, followed by two more slaps. “We’re even now. You hit my grandson three

times, and I’ll return it to you three times. From now on, your family is not allowed to take a step into the

Wilson’s residence. Otherwise. I will be the first to beat you up.

“Can you remember that Ted Wilson? You can see who is right and wrong today, right? From now on,

let’s never contact each other again! Trevon, send out the order.”

“Yes”

This was the first time Natalie had seen how furious and intimidating her mother-in-law could be.

However, she was not afraid. Instead, she felt that Rachel was very cool.

A few minutes later, the police arrived and took Carlos away with an arrest warrant. At the same time,

Peggy was taken away because Trevon reported her for child abuse.

But Peggy was not willing to leave. “I won’t go. I will never go to jail. Let me go. I was wrong. I’m sorry. I

was just jealous.”

No one paid attention to her hysteria.

Ted walked out of the Wilson’s residence with his bent back. He kept sighing and apologized to Rachel

before leaving with

Max.

Actually, Frank had been investigating the matter. The camera in the living room was installed the night

Trevon after he returned from Frank’s place. He was afraid that someone would harm his son.

The matter had been investigated for a long time, but the people they investigated were all dead, and

no one had expected Carlos to be so ruthless and unscrupulous just to achieve his goal. In the end,

Carlos sent himself to prison at an old age.

Trevon did not show Emily’s evidence as a means of thanking her. Otherwise. Max might have killed

her when he returned. It was because Emily installed the listening device in the study that Carlos’ plans

were recorded.

After being abused daily. Emily retaliated and secretly installed a listening device. In the end, she really

discovered something about him.

Finally, the matter had come to an end. When Carlos was around, Ted had no right to speak.

Everything was decided by Carlos, but now Carlos and Peggy were arrested, so Ted should be able to

agree to Max’s divorce.
