Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

In The Wilson Group.

Jasper was attending a high-level meeting hosted by his father. His father wanted him to experience more and feel the atmosphere of such a meeting. He hoped that Jasper could easily control the high-level meetings in the future.

Halfway through the meeting, Jasper's phone vibrated. Even through his pants, he could feel the phone vibrating.

His legs were numb as messages kept coming in.

Half an hour later, Jasper followed Trevon out of the conference room.

Trevon, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around. He suddenly made a decision and glanced at his son, who had his head lowered. "You'll preside over the meeting tomorrow." Seeing his son looking at him with his phone, Trevon was wearing a black suit with one hand in his pocket. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What? Can't you?" There was silence for a few seconds.

Jasper hid the phone in the pocket of his suit and looked at Trevon.

Compared to Trevon's aura, Jasper was not inferior at all. In terms of age, Jasper won. His aura was not weak, nor was he afraid. He simply replied, "Sure." If one had to compare the father and son, then Jasper's current pressure was not as strong as Trevon's. This was also why Trevon wanted to train his son.

Upon hearing this, Trevon smiled. Jim, who was beside him, gave Jasper a thumbs up as an encouragement. He thought to himself, 'They are so alike as father and son." Jasper returned to his office and sat down in his office chair. The chair was the sas Trevon.

He unlocked his phone and clicked on WhatsApp. A large group of photos filled the screen. From the photos, it could be seen that the person who took the photos had his eyes closed. The photos taken were not something that could be described in a few words.

He couldn't bear to look at it at all, and it even occupied his storage.

In one of the photos, Olivia's eyes were closed and her mouth was still open. This photo was really...

He casually swiped the screen to look for something. He scrolled twice and looked at it carefully. After a while, he typed a few words on the screen. [Olivia. Bring scranberry biscuits back.] Olivia received a reply. [OK.] At the orphanage, Olivia told everyone the message she had received from her brother. "I'll make it together. My brother said he wants to eat cranberry biscuits." Hearing this, Ruby's hand that was holding the tray paused for a few seconds. She looked at the few biscuits on the table and smiled gently. "I'll make more later. Olivia, bring more back for Lena to try. Nona, bring sback too." Stella said, "Alright, we still have the materials anyway. Alex, we'll bring sback. We can also post it." As they spoke, the few of them began to work together. Although Liam's photography skills were not very good, he did not stay idle. He kept taking photos of everyone making biscuits and sending them to the large group.

At night.

After volunteering for a day, Olivia sat on the bed and played her phone. When she cback today, Stella said that she was going to Mosuland to play on May Day. She was a little tempted.

She also wanted to go. She was looking at Mosuland's special tourist area.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Thinking it was her mother, she gripped the phone and looked up at the door. "Cin, Mom," she called. "My door isn't locked." The moment the door opened, she realized that it was her brother in dark blue pajamas. She asked suspiciously, "Jasper, why are you looking for me?" Jasper glanced at the phone in his sister's hand and said without changing his expression, "Dad said that your phone has been updated. He and Uncle added sfunctions. I'm here to take a look." "ls it?" Olivia picked up her phone and opened the phoneto see what new functions her uncle had added to her new phone. Jasper said, "You don't know computer technology. Lettake a look. I'll return it to you in five minutes." "If you want to steal Uncle's skills, you can just tell him directly." Although Olivia said that, she still generously handed her phone to her brother. "Here, put it at the head of the bed forafter you see it. I'm going to sleep. | still have class tomorrow morning. Oh, right, Stella said that she is going to Mosuland on May Day. Jasper, can you go? If you can, we can go together. | want to go too." Jasper was holding his sister's phone in his hand. He did not look very interested and replied calmly, "Let's talk about it later." Jasper, who had walked to the door, suddenly turned back. When he cin, he saw the biscuits by his sister's bed. He bent down and took them away. "Go to sleep." Seeing that his brother had taken the biscuits away, Olivia said, "I forgot." She had been so focused on studying May Day's journey that she had forgotten to give her brother the biscuits.

"Oh, these biscuits were all made by Ruby. She said that you don't like anything too sweet, so she made them alone. The biscuits | gave Mom was made byand Stella. They're sweeter and are produced in different batches." He looked down at the transparent box in his hand and could clearly see that the biscuits inside had been placed neatly. They looked delicious. He said faintly, "Yes, sleep early." With that, he turned around and left his sister's room, closing the door behind him. The three children's phone passwords were known to each other.

However, what Olivia did not know was that Jasper's phone password had long been changed.

After the door was closed, Olivia crawled into bed and really went to sleep.

Jasper, who had returned to his room, stood at the window. He opened the biscuit box and picked up a biscuit that was filled with the fragrance of cranberries. He stuffed it into his mouth and chewed. It was sweet and delicious. It was slightly sweet but not greasy. It was delicious.

Looking at a certain point in the distance, he smiled and chewed. His hand turned on his sister's phone. He did not look at the settings or the functions added to the phone. Instead, he opened the photo album immediately.

Half an hour later.

Jasper gently placed the phone on his sister's bedside. Seeing that his sister's hand was not stuffed under the blanket, he bent down and stuffed his sister's hand under the blanket to help cover her.

Olivia, who had just fallen asleep, felt that someone was covering her with a blanket in a daze. Subconsciously, she said gloomily, "Jasper, are you done?" "Yes, go to sleep. I'll send you to school tomorrow." During this period of time, Trevon did not let his daughter drive a motorcycle.

Olivia actually did not hear what her brother was saying. For someone like her who would doze off on time, she should have been sleeping at this time. She casually replied, "Okay." Seeing that she agreed, Jasper left the room.

"Is Olivia asleep?" He cout and bumped into Trevon, who was coming out of the study.

"Yeah." The man, who had one hand on the doorknob and was about to return to his room to hug his wife to sleep, paused in the act of opening the door. He looked at his son's handsfacial features and was a little proud. He praised him stingily, "The proposal submitted today is fine." It was not bad. He rarely praised people. This was already unprecedented. Jasper was not so happy for his father's praise. His expression was calm. He was still far from his goal. "Okay." The next day, Jasper sent his sister to school. After school, Trevon picked her up. This continued until the end of April.

During this period, Jasper did not go to the studio. Olivia went there several times. Before she went, Jasper would instruct her not to speak nonsense.

He also said that if Ruby asked, she should say that he was fighting.

Due to the impending holiday of May Day, the parent-teacher conference at the Athana High School was brought forward. The parent-teacher conference, originally scheduled for mid-May, was now scheduled for the end of April.

At the Roberts’ Villa.

Because of the change in the tof the parent-teacher meeting, Cyril was caught off guard.

In the room, he was as anxious as there were ants in his pants. He kept wandering around the room. His phone had been confiscated. Today, the teacher had only briefly explained it and had not informed him in the group chat. He planned to let his aunt participate. In other words, Natalie would go to school in advance. This way, when the notification came, he could tell his parents that his aunt had already gone over.

He followed the usual rules of elementary school. However, he borrowed his sister's phone and called his aunt several times, but no one answered. He called his sister Olivia, who said that she had not returned hand had been staying on campus recently.

He did not dare to make a call to his uncle. His father would probably know that he was up to no good as soon as the call ended.

Nona stood at the side with her phone in her hand. She reminded him, "Cyril, the teacher said that she will call every parent in this parent-teacher meeting." Cyril was speechless. 'Were teachers nowadays so generous with their phone bills?’ He thought.

Was it so easy to earn money? He was too profuse.

Ten minutes later, Cyril cout of his sister's room and went downstairs. He coughed dryly and sat down on the sofa. He glanced at his father, who was leaning against his mother's head and looking at his phone. He smiled so happily that Cyril was too embarrassed to look.

Grace looked up and saw his grandson looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated. Just looking at him made her feel uncomfortable. Nona sat down beside her brother.

"What's the matter?" Grace asked.

Cyril scratched his neck and moved his shoulders. "Yes, here is the thing. Well, who will go to the parent-teacher meeting the day after tomorrow?" Cyril couldn't speak clearly, and Frank didn't hear everything. After listening for a while, he straightened up and looked away from the phone. He looked at his son, who was speaking unclearly and hiding important words.

"Straighten your tongue and say it. | have time. Speak word by word." Cyril was speechless. There was no need for that.

Seeing that Nona's brother did not speak, she said, "Dad, Mom, the teacher said that there will be a parent- teacher meeting the day after tomorrow. Brother and | want to ask who will attend the meeting the day after tomorrow." "Parents' meeting? So early this year?" Frank leaned back on the sofa and took in his son's nervousness. He had a plan in his heart. Ava also looked at her son and daughter.

William recommended himself. "It's a parent-teacher meeting. Frank, you've been quite busy recently. | don't have much to do. I'll go." Grace glared at William. His thoughts were too obvious.

William rubbed his nose guiltily.

Ava saw that his son would glance at Frank and her from tto time. It was obvious that his performance in school was not very good. He was probably afraid that his father would find out about his condition and was afraid of being beaten.

If he knew that he was going to be beaten up, why couldn't he be a good student like Nona? This was something that Ava couldn't understand. When she was young, she and her brother Joseph's results were very good, so she had never experienced the need for her parents to beat her, or the need to consider who would attend the parent-teacher meeting.

When she was young, her parents attended her and her brother's parents’ meeting. No matter how busy they were, they would not be absent.

It was obvious that they could attend together. Frank might be in a bad mood if he went alone. Ava also recommended herself. "I'll go." Upon hearing Ava say that she was going, Frank clearly saw his son heave a sigh of relief. Cyril loosened his grip and Frank smiled. "No need. None of you need to go. | will participate." Cyril refused. "Dad, why don't you go next time?" He would try to do better next time. It was a little awkward to have his butt split open. It was not easy for him to recover. He did not want to experience it a second time.

Frank looked at his nervous son with a faint smile. He pretended to be calm and said, "I told Mr. Hawk a week ago that | would attend the parent-teacher meeting this semester. Your teacher already knew about it. Didn't he tell you?" "Or do you want to change me?" Everyone was speechless.

Grace predicted that his son would definitely attend this parent-teacher conference, but she did not expect that he had already communicated with the teacher. "Did you contacted Ella alone?" William thought, "Is my son so proactive now? Looks like he's serious." Just as everyone thought that Frank had contacted Ella alone, Frank smiled and said, "I won't contact other women alone except my family. Ella is Jim's wife." William was a little surprised. "Why didn't you say so earlier?" "To create an opportunity for you to destroy the school's atmosphere?" Frank asked William. This was the reason why he deliberately did not say it back then.

Cyril rolled his eyes. There was a hint of joy in his eyes, as if he had found a direction in his confusion. Frank caught this little expression and extinguished it. "You don't have to think about flattering Mr. Hawk. I've made a deal with your uncle. I'll increase his year-end bonus if your score increases. I'll deduct his bonus if your score decreases." Cyril panicked and raised his voice. "Dad, you're too evil. Teacher Ella is Teacher Ella, and Mr. Hawk is Mr. Hawk.

They have nothing to do with each other at all. How can his salary be deducted?" Frank said naturally and did not feel that it was inappropriate at all. "Husband and wife are united. Fortune and misfortune complement each other." This time, Cyril gave up. He got up angrily and went upstairs. "I'm going to do my homework." Nona also stood up. "I'll help him check his homework." After the children went upstairs, Ava turned to Frank and asked with a frown, "Frank, did you really threaten Ella and the others?" Frank replied and glanced at his parents. "Yes." Ava felt that this was wrong, but her in-laws were here, so she didn't say anything.

No one liked being threatened.

After a while, a message cin from Ava's phone. It was from Frank, who was sitting beside her. "I didn't do what | just said. | was just scaring the brat, but | told Jim to let his wife be more strict." After reading all the information, a smile appeared on Ava's face again. She smiled foolishly at Frank, and Frank could not help but reach out to squeeze her hand.

When Mr. and Mrs. Roberts saw it, they felt that it was tfor them to go upstairs. "We'll go to the study to deal with something." Frank said, "Yeah." In an instant, only Ava and Frank were left in the living room. Ava leaned on Frank's shoulder. "You scaredto death just now. | thought you threatened the teacher." Frank picked up her hand and played with it one by one. He was not tired of it at all. His voice was gentle. "No, | won't do anything you don't like." He didn't want to see her unhappy. He just wanted her to be happy.

Ava's heart was warmed by Frank's last sentence. She could not help but want to kiss Frank. She glanced at the staircase and did so. She gently kissed Frank's cheek.

She smiled and changed the topic. "Why do you think Cyril's personality has becso mischievous? He used to be mischievous when he was a kid, but there were no situations where he didn't want to learn. Cyril actually has a good memory. He can memorize ancient poems at a young age and can calculate very quickly. Why is he now at the bottom?" Ava was quite puzzled. She thought about it and analyzed it.

Looking at Ava's puzzled expression, Frank smiled and helped her clear her doubts. "I've asked around about the classmates he played with. They're all in the last five, and none of them have been in the sixth from the bottom.

Harper is the last one in his upper grade. He's last but one. There's no generation gap when they were chatting." Ava was speechless.

Ava was dumbfounded. Usually, people with good grades would not be able to understand this kind of thing.

Frank understood. He had also been the last one in a few exams, but he was not as bad as his son. When he was young, Rose did not know how to answer the questions. Her parents were busy, and the homework he did on behalf of his poor grades was wrong.

When he saw Rose being criticized by the teacher for the hwork that he helped her blindly, he suddenly went crazy and studied.

It was so that he could teach Rose questions that he did not know. However, he had never told anyone about this, including Rose.

Frank raised his hand and rubbed Ava's head, then pinched her cheeks that were squeezed together. Cyril's study were now a big problem for the family. The entire family was worried about it. He comforted, "Don't worry.

I'll make him becone of the top students in his class. | promise, he'll be Top 10 in the class." From the second last place to the ninth place? Ava looked at him in disbelief. She saw that Frank's eyes were filled with affirmation. He even nodded at her, indicating that he was certain.
