Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 272

Chapter 272

When they were almost done eating. Frank put down his tableware and leaned lazily against the back

of the chair. He took off the sunglasses hanging on his chest and played with them. He glanced at the

three people who were still eating

The black sunglasses spun in his hand nimbly

William was in a good mood. His son and daughter were moving back in. He had a huge appetite that

night and ate two big servings. Eventually, he put his cutleries down and looked toward Frank. He

wiped his hands and was still chewing the last few pieces of macarons before he said. “Speak, what s

the matter?”

How could someone who had been in the underworld for many years not see through his son, who was

waiting for an opportunity to speak?

Upon hearing this Grace continued eating as if she did not hear anything. She seemed to have

expected it. Only Rose was curious about what her brother wanted to say and glanced at Frank

Frank scanned the entire table and finally stopped spinning his sunglasses. He leaned back and

supported himself with one hand on the table while rocking his chair. Half of the stool was off the

ground. Frank said bluntly. “I want all of the family’s defense map.

William was stunned and did not speak for a long time. His gaze was fixed on his son’s face, trying to

find an answer from his face and understand what he was trying to do. However. William did not see

the answer he wanted.

The father and son looked at each other without saying a word. Frank was not in a hurry. He waited

quietly and picked up the sunglasses at the corner of the table to play with them

Rose could no longer remain calm. Her mouth was agape, and her eyes were wide open. She cast a

glance at Frank and wanted to ask if he was planning to usurp the throne. He sounded as if he was

demanding the holy grail

“Why was Franking making such a big request when she came back? Is Grace going to flip the table?

This was not an ordinary small request. It was not as simple as asking for a credit card. This was the

main reason why the Roberts family remained dominant in Athana Rose thought.

Cranky Franky had gone crazy. He was alternating between being nonchalant and asking for the

moon.

Rose took a deep breath. In this quiet atmosphere, she slowly turned to look at Grace beside her, who

was calmly eating a prawn Grace wiped her mouth and gently put down cutlery before crossing her arm

and asking her son, “Reason””

Frank replied curtly. It’s useful.”

Grace was not anxious. She asked slowly with a hint of fury in her eyes. Her body language was no

longer as demure-looking as before. She said somberly. “Come to the main point.

Frank put his sunglasses back on his chest and looked straight at Grace before replying. “I’ll explain

after this matter is over.” William could already see the displeasure on his wife’s face. The importance

of the secret defense map could not be explained in just a few words. Once someone with ulterior

motives discovers it, the Roberts family would be in danger.

William poured a glass of water and handed it to Grace to ease the atmosphere. “Frank, you should

know how important the defensive system is to the Roberts family. You have to tell us the details.

Otherwise, you can’t blame Dad and Mom for not giving it to you. Can you tell us your motive?”

Before Frank could answer, Grace said firmly, “I can give you the Roberts family’s secret defense map,

but not now. When you officially take over all the affairs of the Roberts Group and get married. I’ll hand

them all to you…”

William nodded in agreement. Frank will take over the corporation sooner or later. It was a matter of

time. The secret defense system would have to be handed over sooner or later, but not now,

The atmosphere was tense for a while. Grace and the others did not agree. Frank wanted it. Rose was

afraid it would be awkward, so she smiled and placed a prawn on Frank’s plate before saying, “Frank,

why don’t you find a partner first?”

Frank glared at his sister and hissed, ‘Are you trying to be an opportunist?”

William smiled and lectured Frank. “Rank, don’t randomly find a woman to marry just to get the defense

map. You still have to find someone you like. It’s best if both of you like each other. Marriage is a

lifetime. We can’t make do with it. Just like Grace and I, we’re happy. You have to follow in our

footsteps.”

Rose was speechless. She thought, “Will, aren’t you pressuring Frank that way?”

Frank knew he would not be able to obtain this defensive map today, so he did not waste his breath.

Grace spoke again and reminded him, “I hope that headliner from your Lithern Club club isn’t the

woman you want to bring home. I believe your taste isn’t that bad. The Roberts family isn’t from a

wealthy family. We don’t have any requirements on your partner’s family background. Your father and I

won’t ask you to marry a lady from a wealthy family. You wouldn’t be able to handle a rich and

demanding heiress. We are fine with someone who is morally upright and has the right values. There’s

nothing wrong with ordinary girls. There’s nothing wrong with being ordinary”

Hearing Grace’s request for a daughter-in-law, Rose thought of Ava, “Wasn’t she Miss Natalie, the

daughter of the richest

Frank pinched the space between his eyebrows. The conver non had deviated from has original plans

With one hand on the table, he lowered his gaze and sighed. The phone rang at the right time He took

Alright, I’ll go over now”

The call ended Frank did not answer Grace. He stood up and put on has sunglasses before saying.

With that, he strode out of the dining room. Rose shouted at the top of her lungs, Frank, don’t forget

what you promised

After Frank left, the servants tidied up the dining table Williain and Grace brought Rose to see the

newly furrashed room.

The hurried an sat on the sola in Frank’s office His suit was thrown on the sofa. The buttons on his

white shirt were off. revealing his tanned skin. His bony hand was already holding a cup of freshly

ground coffee He lowered his head to take a sip and frowned slightly

The door was pushed open, and Frank strode in. He saw the man sitting calmly on the sofa while

drinking his coffee leisurely and asked, “You’re quite familiar with the way. You don’t look like you are in

a good state. Are you alright?

Trevon could not be bothered by Frank’s teasing He put down his coffee and went straight to the point.

“Give me the information”

Frank did not waste any time He went straight to the safe to get the information and the USB drive. The

file he took out was already a little moldy and yellow Even the paper in the file was yellow with spots. It

was enough to tell how long it had been

around

Frank walked towards the desk, placed the information on the table, and sat on the other end Trevon

stood up, walked over, and consciously sat on Frank’s chair

Trevon rolled up his shirt to reveal his blue watch. Trevon reached out to take the information that

Frank provided. After reading a few lines, he turned somber The room was filled with deafening silence

His other hand clenched his fist tightly. and the veins on the back of his arm popped.

Every single piece of evidence was clear and livid.

He endured every bit of his fury and finished reading all the information. The more he read, the more

he was somber In the end, there was only hostility left.

Even the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped by several degrees, Frank could feel it

“Don’t make it look like winter. I’m afraid of the cold. Let’s decide what to do after watching the video.” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Trevon was still holding the yellowed file tightly. His eyes blazed with fury. Frank kindly took the USB

drive out, stuck it into the USB socket on the side of the computer, and reminded Trevon, “Open it”

Hearing this. Trevon’s hand paused on the mouse for a few seconds before he used his index finger to

double-click the left key. He clicked on the video saved on the USB drive. There were 687 videos, with

the last being Barron’s admission.

The first videos were about Natalie’s daily life, including her annual birthday celebration, achievements,

and trivialities that Barron thought were worth recording. It was impossible to watch so many videos in

one go. He clicked on the last video to check He could take the rest back and watch them slowly.

When Barron appeared in the video and spoke his first words, Trevon’s heart started aching. He

endured the pain and watched everything. After that, he made a decision. He trembled, removed the

USB drive, and hid it in the file.

He previously wanted to take it home and slowly read it but changed his mind. He chose to hide the

secret

After leaving Latern Club, he went straight to Evergreen Gardens. However, when the car stopped by

the parking lot, he was afraid to head upstairs. He took the file in the pocket of the passenger seat

again and fell into deep thought. The atmosphere in the dark underground parking lot became more

solemn
