Chapter 221

Chapter 221 When the even ng to an end, a trun A pair of golden-rimmed glasses were perched on his The man strode toward the pavilion, exuding a sense of nobility and elegance There was a uniformed body guard next to hum Ava had alreach lost all interest is hattering after abrupt comment. She sat by the side and ate her cake in silence i was very observant and paid close attent to one x mannerisms and emotions. He noticed the change in Ava’s behavior. She was now very quiet looking visibly uneasy, like a child who had done somethin Trevon tightened his grip on Natalie’s hand. Thinking that he wanted to eat something. Natalie asked. “What do you want)

He lifted his chin slightly, gesturing for her to look in the direction of the door.

Seeing Joseph. Natalie was thrilled and, at the same time, apprehensive As her hand was interlocked with Trevon’s under the table, she could not go up to Joseph to greet him. She could only say, Ava Joseph is here”

Ava was eating her cake when she heard what Natalie said. Her face immediately lit up as she briske into a smile. She ran up to Joseph and took his hand, pouting in an endearing demeanor Joseph, why are you only here now The barbecue is almost over: Do you want to be the closing act of the event and take all the limelight Joseph stroked Ava’s head with the other hand and smiled affectionately “Hey, I rushed over without even changing my clothes. Can you forgive me for coming late”

Ava took a few steps back and scrutinized Joseph’s outti. “All right, I shall pardon you this time “

When Natalie saw Joseph approaching the pavilion, she broke free from Trevon’s grip and shot burn a warning look. Joseph, are you done with your busy schedule Joseph replied. “Yes, I’m free now.”

He walked over to Jasper and carried him in his arms before turning to Trevon. “Mr Wilson, have you recovered from your injuries?”

Trevon did not think much about what Joseph was insinuating He merely replied. “Thank you for your concern. Joseph. Im feeling much better now.”

Joseph was astonished to hear Trevon addressing him by his first name in front of everyone. It suggested a level of familiarity and closeness between the two men.

Joseph reciprocated with a smile. That’s good to know. Take good care of yourself. I hope you’re taking care of Natalie and not Natalie taking care of you”

Trevon nodded. “Yes. Ill bear that in mund”

Joseph, with his tall stature, held Jasper in his arms. However, his posture did not look out of place. Instead, he seemed to feel at ease carrying the boy in his arms. His gaze then shifted to Frank. He said in a cordial tone. “You must be the young heir of the Roberts family You truly embody the essence of your family name and upbringing”

Frank was lounging on the chair lazily, and his body sprawled out in a relaxed manner. He replied politely. “Thank you for your compliment. Mr. Turner Have some food’

Ava was determined to ensure that the barbecue did not devolve into a mundane gathering where men engaged in dull conversations. She asked, “Joseph, what do you want to eat? I’ll get you some food”

Joseph raised his head and gestured for Ava to take a seat. “Sit down. I’m not hungry Just get me a drink.”

Ave soon perked up and quipped, “All right. I’m at your service”

Natalie could tell that Joseph’s attitude toward Trevon had changed. She did not know what both men talked about, but she guessed Joseph must have accepted Trevon Trevon was also certain that Joseph had already accepted him. He had no eyes for anyone else at that moment. Once again, he reached out for Natalie’s hand under the table and locked hands with her.

If not for Trevon’s sweaty palm, Natalie would not have known how nervous he was. He was feeling apprehensive yet relaxed Trevon held her hand tightly. It was as if he was afraid of losing something precious. He then stroked her hand, thinking that he might have hurt her.

She understood how he felt. She was delighted to be treated so tenderly and affectionately by someone known to be indifferent and ruthless.

Undoubtedly, she was touched.

To gain Joseph’s trust. Trevon chose to hurt himself. Natalie not a hard-hearted person. She was moved by what Trevon did for her No woman liked to be alone. She was just afraid of being disappointed.

At the same time, a woman also yearned to be cherished and loved by a man. She would certainly be moved if a man did something for her Sensing his sincerity. Natalie held on to Trevon’s hand tightly, their fingers interlocked. She was reciprocating his feelings with her act 14915 At that moment. Trevon felt very regretful. Il Joseph had come to settle scores with him earlier he would not have had to wait till now for his relationship with Natalie to develop to this stage 11 was already half past seven Other than Frank, who went the evening when they returned to Grand Manor Lathern Club, everyone else arrived at Grand Manor L Jim drove Trevon back while Natalie. Ava, and Jasper were in Josephs car Hackett was in another car with his family The cars stopped at the parking lot of Grand Manor at the same time. Trevon was the first to get out of the car “You can back first. You don’t have to pick me up tomorrow. There are a lot of things to do in the company recently. Wait for my father’s instructions Trevon did not go upstairs immediately. Instead, he waited by the car door, instructing Jimi “All right then. I’ll go back first. Mr. Wilson. I’ve already changed your room. Your clothes have also been sent to the new room However, Mr. Blackwell found out that I’ve changed the rooms and he’s also left his suitcase in your new room.”

Pinching his forehead, Trevon took a deep breath Realizing that he had no other choice he gave in. “Okay, got it.”

After Jim drove off, Hackett got out of the car with his luggage. He walked toward Trevon with a smirk. “Hello, we’re going to be roommates.”

With one hand in his pocket, Trevon looked at Hackett disdainfully. He was secretly hoping to spend the night in the room with Natalie Gritting his teeth, he demanded. “Did I say you can stay in the same room as mei“

Hackett looked at him jubilantly Tve something to show you. You can decide if I can stay in your room after that.”

As he spoke, Hackett showed Trevon the WhatsApp message Frank had sent him earlier. He waved his phone in front of Trevon with a wicked smile.

Tell me now, can I stay in your room?”

Trevon glanced at the message with a glacial expression. His eyes widened as he read it Two years ago. Frank had asked Trevon about Natalie Back then, Trevon maintained that he did not like Natalie. He had stated in the message that he would never fancy such a scheming woman like Natalie Frank had actually taken a screenshot of the message.

He had been so scheming to keep the message for the last two years, intending to create trouble for Trevon now.

Trevon lamented silently that there were too many obstacles in the way of his relationship with Natalie Hackett gloated when he saw Trevon’s shocked expression. How rare it was to have a hold against Trevon. “Mr. Wilson, what do you think will happen if I show this to Natalie?”

Trevon finally caved in. He said coldly. “If you dare to spout nonsense in front of her. I won’t let you off Hurry up and get in.”

Hackett smiled gleefully. He had never felt so pleased in front of Trevon He deliberately brushed past Trevon as he sauntered toward the room. “Thank you for taking me in. I am so grateful.”

At the thought that his plan had failed, Trevon looked defeated.

Hackett walked over to Sherri “Can you carry Ruby while 1 reply to a message? Don’t worry. I’m talking to a man”

Sherri was shocked to hear what he said Harkeit then sent Frank a text message [Thank you, Mr. Roberts. I managed to stay overnight in Trevon’s room. You should see has face. It was as black as thunder I He had every reason to brag It was very to see Trevon looking so bummed out Hackett had never felt so pleased.

He was over the moon Seconds later, he received Frank’s reply. Don’t just pay me lip service. I want something in return.]

Hackett smirked as he sent Frank a voice message. [Friends shouldn’t talk about money. It’s the thought that counts]

Frank replied. [Do you think I’m a saint? I’m only human. Cut the crap. Show your sincerity with something more tangible.) Hackett was speechless.

Nevertheless, he picked up his phone and transferred two thousand dollars to Frank.

Frank sent a message with a question mark, followed by a voice message. [Do you know the definition of sincerity If you have no clue what it means, come and see me. I’ll explain it to you clearly I Following that. Frank, feeling rather playful, sent a long message to Hackett ILevel One. 20 million dollars to show your utmost sincerity Level Two, 10 million dollars if you are rather sincere. Lever 3, 6 million dollars for perfunctory sincerity. 2 mullion dollars if you re only patronizing me. Finally, two thousand dollars if you’re a freeloader Which category do you belong to1 Hackett wondered if Frank had nothing better to do unce he had no girlfriend. He could have simply told Hackett he wanted money. It was such a waste of time to type such a meaningless message.

He scoffed inwardly. “How dare he say I’m a freeloader when I paid him two thousand dollars? He did not hesitate to accept. my money over the phone.”

In the end. Hackett chose Level 3 and transferred six million dollars to Frank.

Frank replied with a message. [Here ends our partnership]

Hackett was rendered speechless, thinking that Frank was the cunning and ungrateful one When Natalie got out of the car, she saw Trevon standing by the side, looking glum. She walked over and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 220 My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise Chapter 227 Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen Chapter 340 Trevon’s expression immediately softened. “Nothing. Im just waiting for you. Let’s get in.”

Joseph walked over and took Jasper from Natalie’s arms. “Mr. Wilson, you got here pretty fast. Are you staying on the 38th floor toot Trevon smiled. Joseph, let’s go in together.”

Joseph said. “Let’s go. Do you want to have a game of chess?”

Since Trevon was not able to spend time alone with Natalie that night, he agreed. After all, he rather liked Joseph. “Sure.

Your room or mine?”

Joseph said. “You’ve given me so much good wine. We should try some in my room.”

Trevon replied readily. “Sure.”

Though worried, Natalie did not say anything. Joseph assured her, saying, “Don’t worry. I won’t make things difficult for him. It’s just a game of chess”

Ava held Natalie’s arm “Natalie, everything will be fine. Joseph is a gentleman. He won’t bully Trevon”
