Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 558

Chapter 558

The sound of paper flipping was especially obvious in the silent conference room. For those who had a

guilty conscience, the sound undoubtedly made their hearts race even faster. Every page flipped meant

that more mistakes would be discovered.

A few of them had already begun to wipe their sweat. It was akin to a confession.

Joseph, on the other hand, was free. He even turned on the timer on his phone to increase the anxiety

in the room.

Christina felt that the man was really bad. When he didn’t say a word, it was even scarier than being

scolded.

Half an hour later, a man couldn’t take it anymore and called for a halt. “Mr. Turner, I’ll turn myself in.

I’ve falsely reported the expenses for a business trip, as well as the fuel fees and…”

Joseph listened with interest, but he still did not speak. After a while, he said, “You’re quite smart. It’s a

waste of your talent for you to remain in the Turner Corporation. You can find somewhere else.”

“Quinn, you’ll handle the rest. Pat, you’ll assist her. Write down the list of names. The Turner

Corporation will never hire them again.”

After saying that, he held Christina’s hand and walked out. He was not interested in watching anymore.

Outside the door, Christina asked, “Have you actually prepared the evidence long ago? Then why did

you do this today? Isn’t it unnecessary?”

Joseph gave a beautiful smile and said in all seriousness, “Aren’t you bored? I added more drama to it

to relieve your boredom.”

Christina stared at him.

Joseph had already given an order to Quinn in advance. All those who had embezzled or falsified their

reports would be fired. He also requested that the amount of the company’s funds be returned. This

would be a warning to others. If they did not do so and those responsible did not return the money,

more people would take a chance in the future.

One thought can make the difference between good intentions and evil intentions.

After such a clean-up, those who had some ulterior motives within the company could not help but start

to become more cautious.

A few months had passed, and there was only a week left before Christina’s due date.

At the Yamin family’s villa, Angie stood downstairs with her hands on her hips. She looked at her son

with disappointment. “Are you really not going? Can’t you let go of your hospital matters? Will the

hospital shut down without you performing the surgery?”

It was not that Chris did not want to go to Sapphire City. It was just that the patient’s surgery had long Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

been scheduled. If someone else were to perform the surgery at the last minute, they would definitely

have objections. “The surgery was scheduled some time ago. I’ll tell Christina. You guys go.”

Charlie sighed. There was no hope for his son. Chris could just get married to the operating theater for

the rest of his life. He could not even leave for a day. Charlie really wanted to suggest that he did not

have to come back at night. “Alright. Let him be. Even if you drag him there, his heart is still on the

surgery. Why drag someone who does not want to be there?”

Stella dragged a large suitcase downstairs. Charlie stepped forward to pick it up. Angie glanced at the

white suitcase. It belonged to Christina. “We’re going to see your sister, not going on a vacation. Why

did you pack such a big suitcase?”

Stella was panting. She was planning to go on a vacation. Ever since she worked under Leia, it had

been hell on earth for her. Now that there was such a good opportunity to escape, of course, she had to

play for a few days. “Joseph asked me to take a few days off to go to Sapphire City. I have to listen to

him.”

As expected, Angie didn’t say anything else. She just glared at her daughter in dissatisfaction.

Charlie said, “Come on. Let’s go. Don’t delay. Joseph said that the plane was already waiting.”

Because Chris couldn’t go, he wanted to send his parents off. He quickly strode out of the door, opened

the car door, and placed the suitcases inside. “I’ll send you guys off. After that, I’ll go to the hospital. It’s

on the way.”

Angie took a deep breath. How could she have such a foolish son? “What are you saying? Do you

mean that if it’s not on the way, you will not go out of the way? Alright. I’m in a good mood today and

don’t want to argue with you.”

Chris kept his mouth shut. He was just being honest. It was really on the

way.

Stella was astute after she worked under Leia for a period of time. She was now very proficient at

surviving. It was best to pretend to be invisible when one didn’t want to be implicated. It was best to

shut up and have a proper attitude when one made mistakes.

At this moment, she was invisible. No matter what her mother said about her brother, she remained

silent. She was afraid that her mother would turn on her next.

She very much cherished her life.

When Stella got on the plane, she was unusually awake and excited. Angie, on the other hand, was a

little sleepy. At this moment, her eyelids had already started to flutter. In the end, she could not help but

follow her heart and close her eyes.

“Wow! I feel like I’m stepping on clouds. I can touch it with a stretch of my foot. No wonder Christina

likes to take the plane so much. It’s so beautiful.”

Stella sat alone at the side and looked at the scenery outside the plane excitedly. Angie, who had just

closed her eyes, was shocked by her daughter’s surprised tone. She opened her eyes and

reprimanded, “Can you look with your eyes? Don’t look with your mouth.”

“But we have to express our emotions after looking at it. In the past, when our teacher took us out for

an excursion, we would have to write a journal entry after we came back.”

Angie let out a breath. She was very sleepy. Last night, when she received a call from her son-in-law,

she was so excited that she could not sleep. Now, she felt sleepy. “You can look at the scenery quietly.

I’m not asking you to write anything, okay?”

“Alright. But why do you prefer to sleep when there’s such beautiful scenery outside? What a pity,”

Stella leaned against the window and muttered softly. Angie had already fallen asleep and did not reply

to her. A few hours later, the plane arrived at Sapphire Airport. Joseph was wearing a beige color

windbreaker and was waiting at the airport. When he saw them coming out, he quickly went up to them

and took the initiative to take their suitcases. “Angie, Charlie, Stella. Welcome to Sapphire City.”

“Hello, Joseph. Where’s my sister?”

Stella was overjoyed. Joseph took the luggage and led them out of the airport. Behind him, Ethan

walked over to help with the luggage.

“Your sister said that she’s waiting at home to give you a surprise. Ava has gone to her classes and

hasn’t finished yet. She’ll be back in the

afternoon. Angie, Charlie, the car is outside. Come this way.”

Angie was all smiles. “Sure. That’s good.”

Charlie was very satisfied with his son-in-law’s arrangement, but he did not say anything. He looked

around and said, “Okay.”

When the car arrived at the Turner Manor, Emma, who was dressed in a gown, was already waiting in

the courtyard. After the car stopped, the people in the car alighted.

As soon as she alighted, Angie could not help but praise, “I thought I had entered some Utopia. It’s like

a paradise here. It’s too beautiful.”

Charlie greeted Emma after getting out of the car. He glanced around the courtyard. There was indeed

a wide gap between the rich and the poor.

Emma went to Angie to help her. She showed her into the villa enthusiastically. “Come in quickly. You

must be tired.”

“Charlie, go in and rest. I’ll bring the luggage in,” Joseph said.

Joseph opened the trunk to get the luggage. Ethan came over to help him, but he was stopped. “Go

and pick up Ava. School is over in about an hour’s time.”

After Stella got out of the car and greeted Emma, she was mesmerized by the scenery in the courtyard.

She could not move her feet and took out her phone to take photos of the beautiful scenery.

Joseph, who was holding the luggage, saw that she was drawn by the picturesque courtyard and did

not rush her into the house. “Stella, when you’re done looking around, you can come in yourself later.”

Stella, who was squatting on the ground and taking photos of an unknown species of flower, replied

without looking up, “Sure. Got it, -Joseph.”

However, she was extremely busy at the moment. She had to take good photographs and show them

off later.

In the living room, when Emma saw that Stella had not come in, she asked her son, “Where’s Stella,

Joseph?”

“Stella said that she would come in after taking photos.” With that, he carried the suitcases upstairs and

placed Charlie’s, Angie’s, and Stella’s

suitcases in the room that had been arranged long ago.

Angie complained, “Stella only wants to play. She’s hopeless. It doesn’t matter where she goes.”

“Since she’s here, let her relax. It’s rare for her to come over, so being happy is the most important.”

After a pause, Emma sat elegantly with her hands on her lap. She said. apologetically, “I have to

apologize to you first… Actually, Christina has already given birth. She gave birth five days ago and

was discharged yesterday.”

The news was like a bolt from the blue.

Angie and Charlie were taken aback when they heard this,

They had predicted that their daughter’s due date was approaching and came to accompany Christina

a week in advance. In the end, they were told that the childbirth was over and their daughter had even

been discharged.

“She had already… given birth.”

Angie looked at the elegant Emma in front of her in disbelief. Even Charlie, who was standing at the

side, was stunned. Yesterday, he had even called Christina who said that she had no signs of giving

birth yet.

She only said that they could come over in advance to play and treat the trip as a vacation.

Charlie was struck silent. The girl was lying.

Emma smiled gently and met the couple’s gaze. “We are responsible for this matter. Christina gave

birth a little suddenly. She gave birth more than ten days ahead of the expected delivery date.”

As she spoke, Angie’s phone rang. It was from Christina. The call also interrupted the apology that

Emma was about to say.

The phone rang a few times before it was picked up. Angie took a deep breath and tried to digest the

news as soon as possible. She suppressed the urge to scold her daughter. “We’re downstairs.”

Christina said, “I know you’re downstairs. Mom, come up. I have something to tell you. Come up with

Dad.”

If it weren’t for the fact that the girl was currently in postpartum recovery, Angie planned to give the girl

a proper lecture. “Got it.”

“Emma, I’ll go up and take a look first. We can continue chatting later.”

12:38

“Yes. Joseph.” Emma used the simplest sentence to instruct. Even with such a succinct order, Joseph

understood what his mother meant.

Emma did not follow them. She could understand the purpose of her daughter-in-law’s call. She was

probably afraid that her parents would blame them. Christina was too sensible.

Emma, who was standing alone in the living room, recalled the scene of her daughter-in-law’s amniotic

fluid rupture. It was 10 p.m. and Christina had just finished supper when her water suddenly broke.

Her son, who was always calm, could no longer remain level-headed. He shouted up the stairs for

Emma and began calling the base to ask them to prepare for the delivery.

The two of them had already prepared everything beforehand and kept them in the room for fear of any

accidents. As for Joseph, he did not dare to leave Christina and could only ask Emma to get it.

He carried Christina to the car and placed her in the backseat. Emma accompanied her. Daniel sat in

the front passenger seat. Joseph drove. When they arrived at the hospital, Joseph did not want to take

any risks. He directly arranged for the best doctor to be in charge of the cesarean section.

After recalling for a while, Emma sat down on the couch again.
