Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 287 After Edward left, Trevon did not leave immediately. He leaned lazily on the couch and drank coffee. He stretched out his well- defined hand and spread his fingers. Trevon raised his hand and held it before his eyes, squinting at the ring on his finger.

The more Trevon looked at the ring, the more beautiful it became. It was dazzling and radiant.

Natalie was his wife.

After looking at it for a while, Trevon pulled out his phone and edited the name of an unknown number to ‘Landor the Assassin’ Trevon eyed the name and decided that it was the perfect description for Edward.

Trevon smiled and called Frank. The call was quickly picked up.

Strangely, it was unusually quiet on Frank's side. Trevon guessed and asked, “You're not at the Lithern Club?” The crisp sound of a keyboard came through the receiver. Frank replied plainly, “What's the matter?” Both of them asked questions, but neither of them answered the other’s question.

Trevon could tell from Frank's voice that Frank was very busy and did not want to talk. Frank even wanted to hang up quickly.

Frank urged, “If you have something to say, say it. I'm busy.” Trevon smiled playfully and teased, “You're indeed quite busy as a teacher.” Afraid that Frank’s temper would make him hang up the phone, Trevon did not waste any time and explained his purpose.

“Edward wants to discuss a collaboration with you. You can quote your price.” Hearing this, Frank snorted. “You're trying to use me as a tool. You don’t want to put yourself out there because you're afraid your darling wife will fall out with you. Can you be any more cowardly? Why don’t you change your name? Just call yourself Coward Wilson.” Trevon said, “Get lost.” Frank summoned a bit more patience, but the tapping of the keyboard continued. “What is the project that Edward wants to talk about?” Trevon elaborated, “Edward wants to open the furniture market in Athana. ‘Open’ is not a good term. | think he wants to monopolize the market.” Edward might appear nice, but he actually had his own strategy for doing things and had a plan for everything. All in all, Edward was decent.

If Edward could find Trevon, it meant that Edward had thought it through carefully.

As for the exact reason, only Edward himself knew.

Frank stopped tapping and said with a hint of roguishness, “That's quite ambitious. Did Edward want to collaborate with you because he wants to work with your wife?” Trevon said affirmatively, “Edward doesn’t have the capability.” It wasn't that Trevon didn’t think Edward was incapable. It was just that after talking to Edward, Trevon felt that Edward was too cautious. While he had a good personality, Edward would think twice before making any decision just because he was the oldest son of the Landor family.

Frank said, “Don’t show off to me. The more you brag about your romance, the faster it will die.” Before Trevon hung up, Trevon retorted, “Be careful not to get tendon sheath inflammation.” Rose knocked on Frank's door with a glass of milk and a bag of snacks. Rose smiled brightly. “Frank, can | come in?” There was no response from within for a long time. Rose knocked again and finally got an answer. “Get in here.” Rose quickly opened the door and fawned over Frank enthusiastically. “Come, come, come. Frank, I've prepared something delicious for you. What are you doing?” Frank glanced at the milk in Rose’s hand and the snacks Rose had placed on the bed. Frank looked at his sister inquisitively.

“Tell me why you are here tonight. I'm afraid you'll poison me to death.” Frank had seen through Rose. Rose coughed to hide her embarrassment. “I just wanted to feed you. Why can’t | be nice to you? Are you acting coy?” Frank said, “You're being overtic. | don’t have any awards for you. Save your acting skills and try honesty instead.” Rose pouted and sat down on Frank's bed. Frank was wearing gray silk pajamas, which looked very comfortable. This was the first time Rose had seen her brother in pajamas. Frank appeared quite amiable in the pajamas if one didn’t look at the deadpan expression on his face.

Rose reached out to touch the material on Frank's chest. It was very comfortable. Rose was afraid that she would be beaten up, so Rose quickly retracted her hand. “Where did you buy these pajamas? This material is not bad. Give me one too. We can wear matching clothes.” Frank gave Rose a look of utter disdain. “I'm not in love with you.” Rose clicked her tongue for a while and looked at him in derision as well. “Do you know how to chat? It's so difficult to continue a conversation with you. In this situation, if your future girlfriend asks you, you should say, ‘Okay, what color do you like?’ I'll arrange it for you.” “Still acting?” Rose looked resentful and sighed. “I'm teaching you how to date. You're treating my kindness as ill intentions.” “Tell me when you've got yourself figured out. Grace bought the pajamas. If you want them, you can tell her. Grace would be very happy. Maybe you can get ten sets tonight.” Frank closed the computer and placed it on the pillow where it would be far from Rose.

Hearing this explanation, Rose was stunned. Perhaps Grace was afraid that Rose wouldn't like the things Grace bought.

Frank reminded Rose to focus and urged Rose again, “I'll give you one minute to state what you want. This is your last chance.” Rose sat down and straightened her back. Rose smiled at Frank and tried to cajole him, “Frank, can you help me investigate Edward?” Rose gazed at Frank pleadingly with a pitiful expression. If Frank didn’t know about Rose's acting skills, Frank would have believed Rose.

Frank's aura was actually somewhat similar to Grace's. “Reason?” Rose sighed again and told Frank about what had happened in Mosuland. It was very emotionally gripping. Rose was able to tize it very well, especially with elaborate body movements.

Frank crossed his arms in front of his chest and bent one leg as he watched Rose’s performance. However, Frank still frowned when he heard the thrilling bit. After the show and tell ended, Frank asked, “So you plan to marry yourself off to Edward as payment for his help?” Rose schooled her emotions and glared at Frank. “Why must you think so much? Was that what | said? | only wanted to thank him.” Frank placed his hand on the back of his head and leaned against the headboard of the bed. Frank analyzed lazily, “Natalie, Edward did a good deed and didn’t leave his name behind. Yet you insisted on finding him. and looking him up. What's wrong with you?” Rose retorted, “Yes, | am crazy. That's why | am here. If | were sane, | wouldn't be sitting here asking you to investigate him.” Rose bit off without thinking.

Realizing that she had yet to achieve her goal, Rose smiled apologetically. Her facial transformation could be said to be magical.

“Help me, brother. Look at how handsome you are. You definitely can't bear to help. Look at me again. Aren't | very beautiful and kind? How can you bear not to help? “If you don't help, you'll have a heart of stone.” Frank was silent for a moment. “What if the person who saved you isn't Edward?” Rose said, “We'll talk about it if that's the case.” Frank reminded Rose, “Don’t provoke him.” “What are you thinking? | only want to thank Edward. Why are you making me look like I'm in heat? It's not like | jump anyone | see. I'm not stupid. Edward likes Natalie.” After saying that, Rose even gestured her eyes with her hands, stating that she had seen it.

Frank chuckled. “Looks like you're not stupid. Go back to sleep and take your food with you.” When Rose reached the door, she turned around worriedly and reminded Frank, who was leaning against the headboard, “Hurry up, okay?” Rose quickly carried the snacks in her arms and went out.

However, Rose returned within a second. Rose asked in confusion. “Did you use my phone to send Ava messages? You deliberately shut me up during dinner tonight.” Frank replied without changing his expression, “You're overthinking it. Is there a record on your phone? Hurry up and go to sleep.” Why was Rose so unconvinced? “Honestly, my intuition tells me you're lying.

“Also, Ava must have a record.” Frank glared at his sister. “Where would | know a computer expert?” Frank threatened, “Do you still want me to investigate Edward?” Frank successfully changed the topic. For her own purposes, Rose could not expose Frank. Still, there would not be smoke without fire. Ava wouldn't have said anything if that was the case. Besides, Frank was the one who had borrowed the phone that day. Frank was such a big bad wolf. Ava said, “Investigate, yes. Well, have fun. I'm leaving. Bye.” Watching Rose leave, Frank's eyes darkened. Frank turned on the computer on the pillow and continued working.

In the living room of the Landor family, Sherri originally planned to move in with Hackett today, but they were summoned back by Richard. Now, Richard and Juana were sitting on the couch in the living room with Sherri and Hackett. Ruby was being carried by Juana.

The little fellow was going to go live with the Blackwell family soon. Juana had always been by Ruby’s side, so it was inevitable that Juana would be reluctant to part with Ruby. Now, Juana wanted to hold Ruby for as long as she could.

There were two documents on the table. It was the equity transfer agreement.

Richard pushed the two documents on the coffee table forward and said, “Now that you're husband and wife, there are some things | still have to say, Hackett ” Hackett hurriedly replied, “Yes, what is it?” Richard continued, “We've felt your parents’ sincerity for Sherri and are very touched. | know that Sherri won't be ill-treated if she marries you, but it doesn’t need to be reinforced with money and shares. The Blackwell family has a very stable standing in Athana. Honestly, I'm shocked that you are willing to give shares to Sherri.” Hackett listened carefully, like a good student listening to a teacher’s lecture.

“But after careful consideration, we can’t accept these shares for Sherri.” Hackett wanted to interrupt, but Richard raised his hand to stop Hackett.

“Let me finish. Even if we were to accept, this is simply too much. This will affect the Blackwell family’s standing in Athana. Sherri doesn’t know anything about running a company. Otherwise, Sherri wouldn't have studied medicine and would have entered the Landor Group. Since you've already registered your marriage, we're family. It's the same no matter who holds the shares.

Hackett, this is the share transfer agreement | drafted. This will transfer eighty percent of the shares under Sherri’'s name to you, and leave Sherri with ten percent. This way, your parents won't overthink. It'll be easier for you to explain when you go back.” Hackett was a little at a loss. Hackett looked at the documents on the table and scratched the back of his head. Hackett said, “Dad, this is what Sherri deserves. My mother transferred all her shares to Sherri to prevent me from treating her badly.” Of course, Richard knew the in-laws’ intentions. Richard smiled and asked, “Will you treat Sherri badly?” Hackett hurriedly said, “No.” Richard nodded in satisfaction and said, “Then that's good. It doesn’t matter who has the shares. the Blackwell family’s standing will be even more stable in your hands. I'm also thinking of Sherri. The more stable your Blackwell family’s standing is, the more reassured I'll be. Don’t worry and sign it. I'll explain it to your father.” Sherri urged, “Go on, just sign it. Listen to my father. If you don’t want to sign it, it means you're planning to abandon me.” Hackett was exasperated. “Honey, don’t be ridiculous. Why would | do such a thing? I'll sign it.” At most, Hackett would be beaten up. Hackett still had to listen to his father-in-law.

After Hackett signed his name, Richard took two more agreements from behind the couch and placed them on the table. “This is ten percent of the Landor Group shares. Consider it to be Sherri’s dowry. After you accept this, you must be absolutely loyal to Sherri.” Sherri’s eyes reddened. Richard did not tell her in advance that there was such a thing. Richard only said that he would return the shares to Hackett. If Sherri had taken the shares, it would affect the Blackwell family’s standing in Athana. If someone with ulterior motives published it online, there might be some fallout.

Richard went on, “Sherri is the treasure in my hands. We are not selling our daughter. As Sherri’s father, this is what | am doing for Sherri. Sign it.” Hackett held the pen and paused for a moment. His eyes were red, and his hand trembled as Hackett signed the agreement again.

Although he had become rich overnight, Hackett was not happy. Instead, Hackett's heart felt very heavy. Hackett stood up and expressed his stance to Richard. “Dad, since I've accepted these, | promise | won't go back on my word. If | fail to do so, you can whip me to death. | swear that I'll treat your treasure like my own. You're welcome to supervise me at all times.” Richard nodded. Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes as Richard nodded. Juana took a tissue and turned her head. Sherri's tears had already filled her eyes.

Richard took a deep breath to ease his emotions. Richard said to Hackett, “Sit down. | believe you, and | wish the best life for both of you in the future. Sherri is sometimes more willful. You're the man, so bear with her.” Hackett promised at once. “Dad, I'll remember.” After sitting down, Hackett took out a tissue to wipe Sherri’s tears. “Don’t cry. Isn't this something to be happy about? You're making my heart ache.” Richard sat down and looked at them in relief. Richard's eyes were filled with fondness. Deep down, he was reluctant to part with his daughter.

Sherri had grown up from a little girl in a blink of an eye and was now married.
