Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 57

The banquet finally ended.

Natalie realized something was amiss when she felt weird. Waves of uncontrollable heat surged in her

body; even her breath was hot. She could feel the cells crawling in her body.

As a doctor, she knew it was not because of the warm room temperature in the villa. She was a victim

of some wicked deed.

Once again, the Foster family opened Natalie’s eyes. They used the banquet to set her up, including

the elderly guests and children at her table. They had literally spiked everyone’s drink!

Tonight’s guests were from wealthy, prominent families of immeasurable status. The Foster farnily

could not afford to offend any of them.

Harry Foster was freaking crazy! He must have determined to squander away his late father’s Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

inheritance before he called it quits.

Natalie turned around and saw Sherri holding onto the table for support; the latter’s face was even

redder. Natalie realized what had happened. Then she saw Max’s lustful stare..

Without a doubt, the son-of-a-gun was doped as well.

Natalie blamed herself for letting down her guard and underestimating the Foster family.

She pushed Sherri to call for help. “Call Edward now, Hurry! We have been doped!” She could feel the

hot breath she exhaled.

Sherri shook her head to keep herself awake. Then she took out her cell phone and saw double on the

screen. Sherri shook her head again and narrowed her eyes to look for the number. Before she could

see it clearly, she dialed a voice call. She stumbled to a corner and said weakly. “Brother, come get me

immediately. Someone doped Natalie and me at the Foster family’s banquet. Sherri muttered, unable to

control her tongue to speak clearly. However, the person on the other end could only comprehend her

vaguely.

“The Foster family” and “Natalie was doped” were the few keywords that registered clearly.

Hmm, Natalie. Could it be Trevon’s secret wife, Natalie? She was Sherri Landor’s best friend.

OMG! They were finished!

Hackett Blackwell contemplated briefly after hanging up the voice call. He glanced at Frank Roberts

without a word before quickly dialing for Trevon Wilson. “Hurry up and go to the Foster family this

minute! Natalie has been doped!”

Frank spring from his seat when he heard that and picked up his jacket immediately. He was prepared

to leave with Hackett.

Meanwhile, Natalie feared Sherri would be in danger if she stayed on. She decided to give up her

mother’s belongings and left with Sherri while she was still clear-headed.

She could not put Sherri in harm’s way. The latter was determined to come along because she feared

Natalie would be bullied at the banquet.

Natalie would not allow anything terrible to happen to her best friend.

When Natalie was about to leave with the confused Sherri, Emily tried to persuade her to stay on.

“Where are you going. Natalie? Are you in a hurry to leave? Stay a little longer. I haven’t seen you for a

long time; let’s catch up, shall we? Your mother’s belongings are still with us. Why are you in such a

hurry? I’ll bring them to you later.”

“Get lost! You know damn well what you’ve done! Your family has no moral bottom line. All of you have

opened my eyes!” Natalie pulled Sherri along and wanted to leave immediately.

The front door slammed shut suddenly.

Natalie became even more irritable. Her consciousness was also gradually weakening. She used her

nails to stab her palm hard, trying to stay awake. It looked like Emily would not let her leave so easily.

Natalie took off her overcoat and covered Sherri to keep her warm. The latter fainted before she could

do anything- Natalie gently lay Sherri on a sofa in the living room. Then she turned around and stared

at Herry Foster hatefully. She said with faint anticipation, “Are you not going to let her go? Think about

it carefully. This is the daughter of the Landor family. If anything happens to her in your home tonight,

the Foster Group’s stock will probably go south tomorrow.” Natalie hoped Harry could still take the

Landor family into account for his own sake. Although she was afraid, she wanted to test his

conscience.

Harry’s brows twitched uncontrollably. If something happened to Sherri, Richard Landor would bankrupt

him for sure. He mistrusted Elena and did not expect Emily to dope the entire table. Harry was a little

disconcerted by the outcome. He had painstakingly invited the prestigious guests to tonight’s banquet

in the hope that they might be helpful in his future endeavors. Harry would not hear the end of the

guests suffering any ailment after taking the drink. He could not risk sabotaging his future and

damaging his family’s reputation.

Just then, Harry’s cell phone rang.

His hand trembled when he saw the caller ID.

He answered the call, his voice quivered. “Hi, Mr. Simms, are you home yet?”

An angry voice came from the other end. “Harry Foster, if anything happens to my grandson tonight, I

won’t let you off.” The other party snorted and hung up.

A few seconds later, Harry’s cell phone rang again. “Hello, Mr. White,”

Another loud curse came through. “Are you fucking sick, Harry Foster? How dare you drug my wife?

Just you wait. We won’t be working together again in the future!”

Harry was flustered, and his fingers trembled. He glared at Emily while cold sweat beaded on his

forehead.

Meanwhile, every cell in Natalie’s body clamored and drilled into her tissues.

Harry gulped and wiped the sweat from his forehead. “I didn’t drug you, Natalie. I won’t use the

banquet as a bargaining chip to deal with you,” he denied. “We can send Miss Landor home, but you

can’t leave till you sign the share transfer agreement Then I can guarantee your safe transit.”

Natalie smiled, terrified and sad at the same time. This was her father. “So you were in the dark about

what your daughter and wife did. How laughable! Oh, by the way. I’m married. My assets belong to my

husband and me now. Even if I die here today, you won’t be able to get a single cent.”

The veins on Harry’s forehead bulged, and his face turned pale from anger.

Meanwhile, Max almost lost his mind when he saw Natalie tonight. His mouth went dry, and he drank

lots of alcohol and drinks. Therefore, he was now the drunkest and most doped person in the room.

While the father-daughter standoff continued, Max had other things on his mind.

He rushed over to hug Natalie, but the latter fly kicked him to the ground.

He turned to look at Sherri, who was still quietly unconscious. He shook his head and pinched his arm.

Natalie’s kick landed him hard on the floor; his body was weak now, and he felt a faint spell

approaching

Emily did not expect the person she hired would spike so many people’s drinks. This matter had gone

out of hand, and her heart pounded like a drum.

Under the circumstance, Emily had no choice but to soldier on failure was not an option. She leaned

close to her mother and whispered. She pleaded and wanted to pull her mother away.

Elena nodded and sent the servants away. It was furile to take Natalie into a room at this point. The

next best thing was to leave the living room for Max to complete his task.

Elena walked to Harry’s side and persuaded him. “I’ll think of a way to deal with our clients. Look at

what happened today. If you let her go unharmed, she won’t sign the agreement. Why don’t we take a

video and leave some evidence instead?”

Harry looked hesitant. He locked eyes with Natalie, who stared back with hatred despite being doped.

He made and went along with his wife’s suggestion.

up his mind

They planned to push the blame onto Max Wilson later. The Wilson family was wealthy and powerful;

Harry Foster was no match for them. Harry would claim that Max took a fancy to Natalie and

threatened him for his daughter. Harry had no choice but to give in to his request. No matter what, the

Wilson family would not banish Max. At most, they would beat him. up.

Suddenly, a 12-year-old child rushed out and stood in front of Natalie. “Dad, Mom, what are you trying

to do? Are you trying to bully Sister?”

Elena quickly pulled her son away. “Silly boy, your sister is drunk. Let her sober up in the living room.

We’ll go upstairs. first.”

Harry told Elena to take the boy upstairs immediately.

Her son, Tucker, refused to leave. He had taken leave from school to attend his mother’s birthday

banquet today. However, he did not like such occasions and hid upstairs by himself. “I’m not going.

Send her to the hospital. You can’t bully her!” he yelled.

Emily looked at Max anxiously and turned to scold her younger brother. “Hurry up and go upstairs to

study. Don’t get involved in adult matters. What do you know? You’re just a kid. Do you think she will

appreciate your kindness? Dream on! I’m your sister!”

Elena did not want her son to witness such an ugly scene either; she ordered the bodyguards to drag

him upstairs.

Tucker was a young boy and was no match for the burly bodyguards. He was forcefully carried upstairs

and locked in his room. The men guarded the door and did not let him out.

However, Tucker kept banging on the door and shouting.

After the bodyguards took Tucker upstairs, Elena pulled Harry away. “Let’s go. Harry. Max is fascinated

with Natalie; we should leave them alone. Otherwise, he might find fault with our company tomorrow if

he doesn’t get what he wants.”

Harry’s eyes lit up He knew what his wife meant and walked into the study with her.

Meanwhile, Emily stayed put and hid in a corner to film everything.

She had to leave some evidence of this fateful night to destroy Natalie once and for all!

Natalie’s legs went weak. She sat helplessly by Sherri’s side to guard her and scratched her arm,

leaving behind bruises. Max rushed to Natalie’s side. “I missed you so much, Natalie. I missed you

even in my dreams. I want to kiss you now!” he said lustfully.

Natalie slowly moved away from him. Max was utterly dazed under the influence of drugs and became

foul-mouthed. His eyes were glued to Natalie’s body, lingering on her bosom. “Can 1 sleep with you,

Natalie? Just once, I promise! I will be gentle, and you’ll like it.”

her

Before he could finish talking, he pounced on Natalie like a hungry wolf. The drugs had taken effects on

Natalie by now, whole body was in pain. She cursed at Emily Foster, wondering how much drug she

had used. She gave Max a tight slap on his face with her remaining sense and yelled, “Get lost, you

bastard! Don’t come any closer unless you have a death wish!”
