Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Early in the morning.

Even though the person on the bed was still in a daze, the blanket was pulled away, and cool air hit her.

The man paused. In the darkness, he looked apologetically at the woman who had turned to look at him. "Sorry, | just took a shower." Natalie pulled him down to lie with her while reaching for her phone with the other hand. Before she could get her phone, she heard the man beside her say, "Don't look at your phone. It's three in the morning.” She retracted her hand. She could hear the fatigue in his voice even though she couldn't see his eyes with the curtains drawn.

Under the covers, she wrapped her arms around his waist and snuggled into his arms out of habit. "How are things going?" Trevon hugged her and rested his chin on the top of her head. He said in a deep voice, "Sleep first. You'll know tomorrow, okay?" How could she say no when he was already so exhausted? Other than agreeing, what else could she do but hug him? "Alright, go to sleep," she said.

With that, he hugged her tightly and fell asleep.

The two of them hugged each other tightly.

Afew hours later.

The topic trended. The number of likes and comments was so crazy that it was as though they had bought bots to boost the topic further.

Every topic that was trending was related to the Larsen family. Be it tax evasion, salary deduction, beating of workers, and so on.

Every crime aroused the anger of the netizens.

The news that spread like wildfire today did not mention the fight last night. The officials only released two simple announcements. One was that Sam Larsen was involved in illegal activities. He had set up a private casino and killed a university student. The information of the university student was kept confidential, and Sam had already been arrested.

Another piece of information was that the police had assisted in the arrest of six fugitives overseas. During the arrest, the six fugitives tried to jump off the cliff to escape. Unfortunately, they fell off the cliff. When they found the six fugitives at the bottom of the cliff, they were already unconscious. Now, three of them are in a vegetative state, while the other three are paralyzed for life.

In the end, the police wrote that they hoped everyone would abide by the law and abstain from doing anything illegal.

The Larsen family's incident and the six fugitives caused quite a stir in Athana. Most of the people were scolding the Larsen family.
