Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 266 On the stage. two men of equal height but uneven strength were sparring No, it was a one side completely beating the other.

Two large suitcases were still placed under the ring. A man in a suit was standing at the side guarding the suitcases and smoking. Every time a man on the stage was beaten up, he would subconsciously frown.

It was so miserable, but he could already tell that something was wrong. Although it looked quite miserable, if one looked carefully, they would realize that none of the blows were lethal. They just looked painful After applying some ointment and safflower oil at night, the bruises would be more or less fine tomorrow.

Perhaps this was a ritual of letting go.

With a bang, one of the men on the stage swung his fist and attacked. The other man was already lying flat on the ground, barely dodging the punch. He begged for mercy. “Edawrd, can you spare my life? Can you really bear to see Ruby without a father?” If he didn’t stop Edward now, he was afraid that Shern would have to send him off tomorrow.

Hearing this, the man’s eyes darkened. He slowly took off his boxing gloves and smashed them on the man lying on the ground.

The boxing gloves accurately bounced on his face and fell to the ground.

The man tugged at his pants and sat down on the spot. His tone was filled with disdain and a hint of helplessness. “If it weren't for Ruby, | would have beaten you up long ago. You wouldn't have survived until now.” “Fuck, | gotta thank your whole family thought Hackett.

Hackett covered his mouth and sat up with great effort. The corner of his mouth was ruptured, and traces of blood seeped out. It was a huge pain, a heart-wrenching pain. He felt Edward was really fucking ruthless. Why didn’t he beat him to death? Two hours ago, he was on his way home happily. He thought that he could go home and tell Joy that he could propose marriage, but Edward called him to the boring club.

After being beaten up, he felt extremely depressed.

Although he was mentally prepared to be beaten up, thinking about it was one thing. It was completely different from being actually beaten up For example, dreaming was completely different from reality Alter the pain subsided after a while, he then said angrily. “Can’t you show some mercy for crying out loud?” Edward's tone was gentle, but it was filled with dissatisfaction. “I've never seen you show mercy to my sister.” “Fuck.” Hackett steeled himself and said bluntly, “I want to marry Sherri.” Edward smiled meaningfully “You've already taken advantage of my sister, and you still want to be irresponsible? I'd like to see you try to not marry Sherri. If Sherri doesn't like you, then | can ignore your existence. If Sherri likes you, you have to marry her and treat her well.” Did he have to be so domineering? It turned out that Hackett was the only one who was unimportant, He had never realized that this fellow was so domineering before. “Alright, alright, whatever you say” Edward lay on the ground weakly with his hands crossed behind his head. He said calmly. “If you weren't a virgin, you wouldn't have the chance to marry my sister.” Hackett pressed his tongue against the corner of his mouth that was hurting and hissed to avoid the pain. He opened his mouth slightly and said, “It's as if you're not an old virgin. This is called staying clean in a world full of temptations.” Edward's eyes were a little lost, empty, and disappointed. He also suppressed his emotions. “Go to my house tomorrow to propose. Think about how to marry my sister. Sherri deserves everything” Hackett panicked. He hadn't proposed yet. Wasn't this a little too fast? It wasn't that he was afraid of marriage. He was afraid that he would be scolded by Sherri if he proposed without proposing “So fast?” Edward thought that he was unwilling, so he turned around and warned him with a cold gaze. “You've been with Sherri for a while. Are you still going to let Ruby to remain a part of the Wilson family?” “Fuck, I'm so lost in love recently that | forgot about the matter of the title.” Hackett quickly admitted his mistake. “I'll go tomorrow.” Seeing that Hackett agreed, Edward's expression softened a little. “I only have one... biological sister. Treat her well. If she comes back crying. Hackett, | want your life,” Hackett expressed his loyalty. “Edward, | treat your sister as a treasure. Why would | upset her?” Edward's indifferent voice sounded. “Sherri is a little willful, but she’s a stubborn person. Once she’s set her mind on something, she'll do it without hesitation. If you don't like her, she'll secretly hide her emotions and leave silently. At most, she’ll hide under the blanket and cry. Don’t think that she’s usually carefree She's very sensible, loyal, and kind. You'll realize after you spend more time with her.” “Do you know why she likes the obstetrics and gynecology department?” Without waiting for Hackett to answer, Edward continued, “Il remember that she was only in junior high back then. When she came back from school on Friday, my mother was cooking in the kitchen and forgot to turn off the she was watching. It seemed to be a obstetrician gynecologist . There was a scene of a character delivering a child and a pregnant woman bleeding profusely. Sherri, not only laughed easily, but could also cry easily. She was also very touched. When my mother came out of the kitchen, Sherri was sitting on the sofa with tears all over her face. There were tissues all over the table. She cried and said that she wanted to be obstetrician-gynecologist when she grew up. After that, this decision became the dream she had always pursued, and she really achieved her goal.

“She is really easily moved. As long as you give a little, she will treat you well wholeheartedly and think of you all the time. She treats Natalie like this.” After saying that, Edward's eyes dimmed even more. There was no light in them, as if he could not see the future.

Hackett felt that Edward’s mood was a little strange, but he couldn't find anything strange about it. He couldn't tell what it was, so he could only reply. “I'll treat her well, | won't give you a chance to commit a crime. Sherri doesn’t want you to go to jail either” He did not know when he had really fallen in love with Sherri. In the beginning, it was because he had made a bet with her. He wanted her to lose to him and hurt her once. In the end, he slowly fell for her and realized that she was not as carefree as usual When Little Princess of the Turner family came to visit Athana, she could take leave and accompany her wholeheartedly. Every day, she would be happy like a pistachio, and she would treat her work differently. She was very serious and did not slack off.

She was originally a rich young lady, but she still shone brightly in her own field of work. This was the highlight of her.

When the three of them slept on the same bed, he wanted never to have such a short moment. Humans were greedy. Once they had something, they wanted more. The same went for relationships.

Under the illumination of the street lamps, the lush greenery became even greener and more lively. Even one’s mood improved a lot.

Hackett parked the car at the entrance of the Tranquil Lux villa and got out of the car. He took out his suitcase from the trunk and pushed it towards the house.

The night was very quiet, with only the crisp sound of birds chirping, which was especially loud. The sound of the luggage being dragged on the ground added to the noise.

The villa was brightly lit inside. Before Hackett entered, he could vaguely hear the conversation between the characters in the television Wearing a mask, he pushed open the door with one hand and a suitcase with the other.

The two people who were watching TV and drinking coffee looked at the door in surprise. Joy asked curiously, “Why are you back?” As soon as she finished speaking, Joy threw away the melon seeds in her hand, stood up, patted her clothes, and strode towards Hackett. Then, she glanced out of the door.

Hackett knew what she was looking for and interrupted, “Stop looking. They're not here.” Joy patted him unceremoniously. When she looked up, she saw her son wearing a black face mask in the middle of the night.

She then said in disdain, “Why are you wearing a mask in the middle of the night? A celebrity is making an appearance? Didn't | tell you that you don’t have to come back if you don’t bring Sherri back?” Hackett had just stepped in and had yet to change his shoes. He raised his hand and massaged his temples. His family status was completely gone. He looked at his father, who was reading documents on the sofa. Nathan looked away guiltily and pretended that it had nothing to do with him. He continued to read the documents with a serious expression.

“I came back to discuss something with you.” Joy was nervous. Her mind was searching for any possible problem, such as Sherri did not like him. Or did he like someone else? Joy finally grasped a question that he thought was possible ‘Did Sherri despise you for messing around outside?” “What the hell? Mom, can’t you watch s which are closer to real life?” wondered Hackett.

Helpless, he pushed Joy towards the sofa. He did not even bring his luggage up. He gestured for the maid to bring it upstairs.

Then, he pressed Joy onto the sofa and took off his mask.

Actually, Hackett did not have any injuries on his face. It was just that his body hurt a lot. The only thing on his face was that bruise at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Joy was speechless. “It's just a bruise. Why did you waste money on a face mask?” “It's not like this mask costs a fortune,” thought Hackett.

He took a deep breath, then went straight to the point. “Dad” Nathan was nervous and thought that his son was going to expose what happened last time. He quickly said. “What's the matter? Watch your words.” It was a clear threat.

Hackett felt a headache when faced with a clear threat. “Don’t worry, I'm just telling you not to go to the company tomorrow moming. Go with my mother to the Landor family to propose a marriage and give an engagement gift.” Marriage proposal and engagement gifts. Both Joy and Nathan knew what it meant.

Joy stood up excitedly and paced around the living room. Her hands were trembling so much that it made her look like she had Parkinson's Disease. “So... you two are together? You've wooed Shern. Is Sherri willing to marry into our family?” Hackett nodded his head repeatedly as if he was afraid that Joy would not believe him.

Nathan looked up at his wife, who was wandering around aimlessly. He massaged his temples and said. “Sit down. Let's discuss what to give.” Joy’s pacing around the room made him feel dizzy.

Joy thought about it and sat down. She held her hands and was still very excited. She finally gave her son a gratified look. “The most promising thing in your life was giving birth to a cute granddaughter for me and finding Sherri,” Hackett scratched his head. The days ahead could be imagined. Ruby, Sherri, his mother, his father, and he would be the last on his list.

Hackett felt that last place wasn’t that bad either.

In school, every time everyone stood in front of the bulletin board and looked at the rankings, they would pay attention to the first and last place. Often, those who were famous would be the first and last place.

Nathan suggested that they should be sincere when proposing marriage. “I think they were unwilling to give us half of the shares last time. Why don’t we give 90% this time and save 10% for our retirement? What do you think?” “The Blackwell family is about to have a new owner,” thought Hackett.

“Wait, if Sherri gets 90%, does that mean | get nothing? “Shouldn't | be their son?” At this moment, Hackett had no choice but to doubt his DNA. The couple had left 10% for their pension and had never planned for him.

Joy definitely agreed. As long as her granddaughter and daughter-in-law could come over, she would even consider 100%.

These things would have to be given to Hackett and the others sooner or later. It was the same if she gave them in advance. She did not have any big goals. She only wanted her family to be harmonious and happy, and her children to be healthy and happy.

“Sure, sure. Why don’t you buy some gold bars, diamonds, calligraphy, and antiques? Our family can give you any house you want. You don't have to consider that...” Joy listed what she felt she needed to add.

Nathan nodded in agreement the Landor family was a big family. They could not be sloppy about this kind of thing, nor could they let their future daughter-in-law suffer. “If we go to propose tomorrow, the time will be a little tight. We can make a list of the engagement gifts and send them over. Be it gold or diamonds, we can make up for it together.” This way, the Landor family wouldn't feel petty anymore. They still had to show their sincerity. After all, the other family had raised Sherri for so many years. It was normal for the father to make requests. It was understandable that he had to be serious.

Joy felt that this method was excellent. She ignored Hackett’s thoughts the entire time and did not even ask a single question. It was as if he was invisible.

After the couple finished discussing, they went upstairs happily. When they reached the stairs, they stopped and turned to say to their son, who was still sitting on the sofa in a daze. “Send a message to Sherri to tell her what happened so that she won't be frightened tomorrow.” Hackett said angrily. “She's going to work tomorrow. Dont worry.” Hackett felt abandoned as he looked at his parents, who were still talking and laughing arm in arm.

He sat alone on the sofa, accompanied by the dark night.
