Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 57

The banquet finally ended.

Natalie realized something was amiss when she felt weird. Waves of uncontrollable heat surged in her body; even her breath was hot. She could feel the cells crawling in her body.

As a doctor, she knew it was not because of the warm room temperature in the villa. She was a victim of some wicked deed.

Once again, the Foster family opened Natalie’s eyes. They used the banquet to set her up, including the elderly guests and children at her table. They had literally spiked everyone’s drink!

Tonight’s guests were from wealthy, prominent families of immeasurable status. The Foster farnily could not afford to offend any of them.

Harry Foster was freaking crazy! He must have determined to squander away his late father’s inheritance before he called it quits.

Natalie turned around and saw Sherri holding onto the table for support; the latter’s face was even redder. Natalie realized what had happened. Then she saw Max’s lustful stare..

Without a doubt, the son-of-a-gun was doped as well.

Natalie blamed herself for letting down her guard and underestimating the Foster family.

She pushed Sherri to call for help. “Call Edward now, Hurry! We have been doped!” She could feel the hot breath she exhaled.

Sherri shook her head to keep herself awake. Then she took out her cell phone and saw double on the screen. Sherri shook her head again and narrowed her eyes to look for the number. Before she could see it clearly, she dialed a voice call. She stumbled to a corner and said weakly. “Brother, come get me immediately. Someone doped Natalie and me at the Foster family’s banquet. Sherri muttered, unable to control her tongue to speak clearly. However, the person on the other end could only comprehend her vaguely.

“The Foster family” and “Natalie was doped” were the few keywords that registered clearly.

Hmm, Natalie. Could it be Trevon’s secret wife, Natalie? She was Sherri Landor’s best friend.

OMG! They were finished!

Hackett Blackwell contemplated briefly after hanging up the voice call. He glanced at Frank Roberts without a word before quickly dialing for Trevon Wilson. “Hurry up and go to the Foster family this minute! Natalie has been doped!”

Frank spring from his seat when he heard that and picked up his jacket immediately. He was prepared to leave with Hackett.
