Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 17

At the same time, the Foster family was not in a pleasant state

Harry had a gloomy face, emanating a hostile aura. He was on the verge of anger and expressed extreme dissatisfaction with his wife, saying. Look at what you’ve done. Now, what do you suggest we do? Not only did we fail to harm Natalie and alert her, but she must have figured out it was us. Wasn’t it supposed to be foolproof? Well. It’s far from it. His tone was filled with blame for Elena’s incompetence.

Not content with just reprimanding her, he thought for a moment and added, “You didn’t leave any evidence behind, did you? If something happens, you’ll have to deal with it yourself. If I’m out of the pie ture, you’ll all be left high and dry

Harry was incredibly disappointed with what Elena had accomplished this time. She couldn’t even successfully bump into

someone.

She seemed to spend her days playing cards, shopping, and indulging in beauty treatments.

Harry didn’t understand why he was so infatuated with her.

At this moment, Elena had her heart filled with fear. She lowered her head and glanced down, her fingers tightly clenched in her palm. She hadn’t informed Harry about the extortion. Trembling, she replied, I don’t know when Natalie learned those skills and became so capable of fighting. She never showed any signs of it before. If I had known, I definitely wouldn’t have arranged things this way” She didn’t mention that it wasn’t supposed to end in failure.

As she finished speaking. Elena slowly lifted her head and observed Harry’s expression. She noticed his brow was still furrowed, but it had eased slightly. She began to console him, saying, “But Harry, don’t worry I haven’t left any evidence behind. And I’ve already destroyed the contact phone card. It wasn’t registered under a real name. Natalie won’t know it was us. If something really happens, I won’t involve you”

Harry finally relaxed his brow. And the tension in his nerves cased.

Elena couldn’t believe that Natalie was a profesional fighter. Those two big men were no match for her. And they couldn’t even get close to her.

According to those two men, Natalie didn’t sustain any injuries. But the two men they sent were both severely injured. One had three broken ribs and a minor concussion, while the other dislocated his hand. It was all because of Natalie. She even broke one of his legs.

Those two men disturbed Elena and Harry’s intimate moment early in the morning. Fuming angrily, they threatened to turn over the recorded conversation to the police if they didn’t receive money. At that time, they would all meet their demise together.

Elena had no choice but to pay one million dollars to obtain the so–called recording and put an end to the matter.

However, this money came from her private stash, stored with a friend overseas. She deceived Harry, telling him that everything was taken care of. If he found out about the large sum of money she had saved and found that she gave away one million dollars to the other party, Harry would kill her. Her future days….

Just as Harry was starting to calm down, he realized that Natalie was capable of fighting to such an extent, and she had kept it a secret from him. Through gritted teeth, he cursed. “This cunning brat is devious and sly. She managed to deceive all of us. with her skills. In all those years of surveillance at the mansion, no one ever reported anything about this. Look at what she did to those men. Is this how a young girl should behave? She’s like a wild wolf that hasn’t been tamed.” Harry thought that Natalie was so relentless,

He had no idea that his own daughter possessed such impressive skills. He would never have allowed Elena to act recklessly if he had known earlier. Now, they were left empty–handed, unsure how to reclaim their assets.

After Harry’s ex–wife jumped off the building. Barron demanded to sever ties with him. Moreover, Barron even took in Natalie. Fearing that his father would influence and groom Natalie, Harry sent someone to take care of them.
