Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 183

At the Lithern Club’s underground cellar. six men had been beaten up badly.

Their faces had already become swollen like leavened bread, but they did not dare to cry out in pain.

Hackett and Frank were playing cards. Both of them had cigarettes in their mouths and the cigarette

smoke was curling upward Hackett called out, “A pair of aces. Do you call or fold Otherwise, I’ll go first

Immediately after that. Frank silently threw a pair of twos and crushed Hackett. Hackett was so angry

that he felt knotted up inwardly. He cursed and swore. “Fuck! You clearly have the cards, but you still

have that constipated look. You’re bluffing

me.”

Frank disagreed and said, “Then am I supposed to show my hand? What does it have to do with my

facial expression if your brain isn’t good?”

Hackett was about to scold Frank back when he heard the sound of footsteps made by leather shoes.

The two guys knew who it was from the rhythm of the footsteps without even turning around.

Who else could it be but Trevon?

Frank did not even raise his head. He teased, “Why did you ‘cum’ so early? Do you have performance

anxiety

Hackett stopped playing when he heard that. He turned around and observed Trevon’s expression. He

did not find any signs that Trevon had been squeezed dry. He said in a forthright manner, “Mr. Wilson,

did Mrs. Wilson not allow you to get into her bed

In a sort of bumbling way, Hackett’s guess was half accurate. Trevon did get into her bed but he did not

get laid. A look as sharp as an icy blade flew toward Hackett. “You have a lot of free time.”

When the two guys saw Trevon’s expression and tone, they understood everything. It meant that he

didn’t succeed. Based on their understanding of Trevon, if he had succeeded, he would be bragging

now.

Recently, Hackett’s temper had been getting worse. This guy wanted to win over his wife, yet he

squeezed Hackett into this hole. “You can’t tell whether I have free time? Am I as free as you?”

Hackett could tell from Trevon’s expression that his desires were not fulfilled. Coincidentally, Hackett

himself didn’t have hist desires fulfilled either and he was staying in a hotel furthermore. He was feeling

downright depressed.

Trevon glanced at the six people tied up securely on the ground. He walked over and kicked Hackett’s

chair. “Are you itching for a beating?”

Hackett replied, “My entire body is itchy. Why don’t you scratch it for me?” The most itchy spot was his

heart. Who could understand him?

Frank was not interested in playing cards with this fool anymore. He threw away the cards in his hand

and looked at Hackett in disdain. Then, he raised his eyebrows at Trevon. “Why don’t the two of you go

outside and help each other settle your urges before coming back?”

An image flashed across Hackett’s mund instantly. It was the image of him helping Trevon and Trevon

helping him. It was a little dirty. Hackett shook his head non-stop and scolded Frank. “Fuck! You’re a

pervert.”

Trevon did not respond to Frank’s taunt. His expression changed as he buried the secret in his heart.

Hackett had exposed Trevon’s matter the moment Trevon arrived. Now, Frank had implied that Trevon

had resolved the matter himself in the morning. It was very embarrassing. He definitely could not let

these two fellows find out the truth.

If it weren’t for the fact that the apartment belonged to Natalie, he would have suspected that the two of

them had installed surveillance cameras at his place. Their guesses were spot on.

There was no need to mention how annoyed Trevon felt inwardly. He pulled a stool and sat down at the

long bar counter. The wine cellar of Lithern Club was very big. A collection of rare wines from various

vintages was lined up to the top of the wine rack, and there was a long bar counter in the middle of the

cellar.

Trevon took Frank’s pack of cigarettes from the table, took out a cigarette, and lit it. His slender fingers

held the cigarette butt as the thin smoke curled upward. He said softly. “What did they reveal?”

Frank casually threw the information on the table to Trevon and sand in a mocking tone, “The

mastermind is your ex-wife’s stepmother, but the person she hired has been changed. The first group

thought that the price she offered was too low, so the leader used his connections and randomly found

another group of people to take over. The middleman’s fees have been covered up”

This was the first time Trevon had heard of such a weird deal. The tip of his nose snorted in disdain

and he asked, “How much did she pay? Who did she want to hire at first?”

Frank yawned until droplets of tears appeared in his eyes. “She wanted to use 200,000 dollars to hire a

hitman to take your ex-wife’s life.”

Frank leaned languidly against the back of the chair. He blinked his eyes and yawned repeatedly. He

Hackett felt very resentful, but when he raised his head and saw Frank, he felt much better. He said

shamelessly, “Mr Roberts, do you feel envious when you is paired up with partners”

Trevon walked outside and gave Natalie a call After waiting for a few seconds, no one answered the

call. Just as he was about to terminate the call, the phone was picked up. A voice that made his heart

race rang out “Hello”

Trevon’s lips curled up “What are you doing?”

Natalie wanted to answer he was asking the obvious, but she eventually said, “What’s the matter?”

There was no change to Trevon’s expression. He said without shame, “I miss you”

Natalie was caught off guard and her heart skipped a beat. She remained silent for a long time Trevon

lowered his phone and glanced at it Natalie was still on the line. He said in a cheeky manner, “I won’t

tease you anymore. It’s true that I muss. you, but it’s also true that I have something to tell you. The

people we caught last night were hired by Elena Foster. What do you plan to do Ill follow your wishes”

Natalie tone was filled with hatred as the said firmly, “I want her to pay with her life”

Trevon said. “She didn’t bare the guy who caused the truck crash It was someone else but she hired

those people last night” Afraid that she would be anxious, he added, “Don’t worry I will investigate I will

time to settle the scores after all these years Now was a great time to settle both old and new scores

together.

A trace of a smile flashed across Trevon’s eyes. He was proud of her and filled with affer tion for her.

He liked her vengeful personality, and he loved her for it “Okay I’ll pick you up after work.”

“I just miss you. I want to see you as soon as posible. Leave the car there and let Jim drive it back

After Natalie consented, Trevon ended the phone call. She said that she was going to perform surgery

soon and couldn’t talk anymore, so Trevon did not pester her anymore. Initially, he wanted to chat for a

few more minutes, but his girlfriend was busy with her career

Girlfriend. This word was quite pleasing to him.

Chapter 183

After ending the phone call. Trevon was in a good mood. He strode into the wine cellar with a radiant,

cheery face that proclaimed to the world he was in love “Send them to the Foster family’s place after

work. Continue to investigate what happened in that matter There are bound to be clues”

Frank reminded him, “Sure You guys can leave now I don’t want to die suddenly. Let me catch up on

my sleep. Pay attention to your son’s safety”

If the other party’s goal was Trevon’s son, then if they failed this time, they would try to take the child’s

life again. It was better to be safe than sorry

Trevon murmured, “Mm-hmm”

Hackett was a little curious. No one in the outside world could have known that this child was Trevon’s

Everyone thought that Natalie had twins. If Trevon’s father had not insisted on Trevon doing a paternity

test. Trevon would have thought so too. “How did the mastermind know that the little fellow is your son?

Mrs. Wilson is not likely to be a talkative person.”

As soon as he finished speaking. Frank and Trevon turned to stare at Hackett at the same time. It

made Hackett’s hair stand on end and he cursed. ‘Fuck’ What are you guys thinking I didn’t say

anything”

All of them were actually suspecting him. Was he such a blabbermouth?

When he saw Hackett’s solemn expression. Trevon did not probe further. He put out the cigarette and

said calmly. “Tll go back to the Wilson’s residence in the afternoon. Help me hold the fort here.”

Frank was right. His son meant everything to Natalie and he was the treasure of his grandfather and

the others. Nothing must happen to the child.

Hackett suddenly thought of something else important. “Wait a minute. Have you found out anything

about that unfamiliar number?”

Regarding this, Frank speculated that they were probably in cahoots with those involved in the truck

accident. As for their purpose, he did not know “The location is in an open-air Lavatory in the slums of

Haililand. There are no surveillance cameras and no witnesses. The people living there are all older

folks. This was premeditated”

There was no doubt that the sim card was also in the cesspit. Notwithstanding whether the sim card

could be fished out, it was probably a hacked sim card even if they succeeded in fishing it out.

Hackett scratched his head angrily. Of all places, it had to be Haililand. Regardless of whether it was

Mia Sullivan or not, Hackett scolded her a hundred times again in his heart.

Trevon licked his molars. After a moment of silence, he strode to the door. Tm going”

Hackett suddenly said to Frank, “Is Trevon trying to quit smoking? It looks like he only smoked one

cigarette. Based on his previous habit. Trevon should not be stopping at one cigarette. He had to

smoke at least three.

Frank did not answer Hackett’s stupid question. He glanced at the door and then said to him, “Let’s

catch a nap”

Hackett wasn’t interested in the answer anymore, nor did he want to talk about Trevon quitting

smoking. He got up nimbly and said. “Goodbye Don’t pine for me. I have a girlfriend, you know.”

Frank swore inwardly. Everyone was showing off his girlfriend in front of him. He was the only one

without one, right Well, that was because he was not interested in getting one, and not because he

didn’t have one.

Not interested in getting one and not having one were two different concepts, okay?
