Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 203

The presidential suite was on the top floor of the hotel Security on this floor was airtight, and they had

to verify their identities before they could come up.

Those who could live on this floor were either rich or noble. The suites also represented their status.

At this moment. Natalie gave Trevon a bonus point in her heart. At the very least, if she was the one

who arranged it, she probably wouldn’t have chosen the presidential suite.

The few of them arrived at the top floor.

Natalie handed a room card to Daniel. “Uncle Daniel, you and Aunt Emma will be in 3888”

Daniel took the room card and said that it was fine.

Natalie turned around and handed over two cards for Joseph to choose from. “Joseph, which room do

you want to stay in?”

The 38th floor was the top floor. The three presidential suites occupied the entire floor. In other words,

there were only three rooms on this floor. They had reserved the entire place.

Joseph chose the last room, so Natalie got the middle room. After choosing, Ava jumped around and

held Natalie’s hand. ‘I want to stay with Natalie. I don’t want to live with my brother.”

Joseph smiled dotingly. “Up to you.” He couldn’t wait for Ava to live with Natalie.

Ethan meticulously carried everything to their rooms. In the end, he followed Joseph with his suitcase.

Joseph easily opened the door with the room card and strode into the room with his long legs. Ethan

followed him in and stood by the side of the suitcase, waiting to get reprimanded.

He looked like he was willing to accept any punishment.

As soon as Joseph entered, the smile on his face collapsed. What was left was only hostility that was

enough to turn Ethan into ice. He stood by the wine rack and looked through the bottles. Ethan had no

clue what he was thinking. Joseph’s lips. parted slightly. “Speak.”

Ethan automatically deciphered the meaning of these three words. Joseph was telling him to explain

what he had done

wrong.

He lowered his gaze, not daring to look into Joseph’s eyes. “Mr. Wilson, it was my mistake,” he

admitted his faults directly. “This time, I failed to protect Miss Natalie and Jasper well. I accept my

punishment.”

Joseph’s eyes scanned the wine rack. He reached out to take a bottle and carefully looked at it. He did

not pay attention to Ethan’s words. “Amalfi Supreme Lemon Liquor. How generous, he commented.

When he finished speaking, he slowly picked up the bottle opener and opened the bottle. He walked to

the living room and poured a glass of wine. Placing it under his nose, he sniffed it. “As expected, it

smells like money.”

Ethan did not know the meaning behind Joseph’s words. He was only waiting for Joseph’s punishment

now. However, looking at Joseph’s nonchalant expression, he became even more uneasy.

This feeling of being left hanging was not good. Every second felt like torture.

After a while, Joseph finally spoke. “Do you know why I haven’t punished you yet?”

Ethan said honestly, “I don’t know.”

He really had no idea.

Joseph’s tongue touched the inside of his lower lip. He was no longer the gentleman that other people

knew. “Natalie worked so hard to put up an art just to help hide your mistake, but you said that you

don’t know. Do you really not know? Or are you pretending not to know?”

Ethan interpreted this as saying that Natalie could hide what happened, but he could not. “Mr. Wilson, I

am sorry. I should have reported at immediately. I accept my punishment.”

Joseph continued strolling around the suite. He pulled open the curtains and a ray of sunlight shone in,

dispelling the hostility around him He looked at the blue sky and said in compromise, “This time, Natalie

wanted to protect you. I will follow her wishes Punishing you would hurt her feelings”

Ethan knew that Joseph was letting him go, so he quickly thanked him “Thank you, sir. I will remember

this lesson and protect Natalie well from now on.”

“Even if you want to protect it, you might not have a spot,” Joseph said. Ethan did not quite understand

this

Joseph was thinking about Trevon. Since he had come this time, he had to meet Trevon properly.

Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window with his back facing Ethan, his ley feeling that had

just eased suddenly came back. “How’s the matter I asked you to investigate?”

Ethan knew what Joseph was asking about. He stood with his hands folded and replied respectfully,

“Sir, I have already investigated. Recently. Max has been very close to a celebrity and has been staying

in this hotel for the past few days”

Hearing this, Joseph vimply said. “What a coincidence.”

In the other room, Ava couldn’t want to open the suitcases as soon as she got in. There were three

large suitcases, and two of them were filled with gifts. She had bought them for Natalie and Sherri.

Looking at the tightly-packed suitcase, Natalie was speechless. She didn’t know how to describe her

feeling. If he really had to choose an adjective, it would be blessed and touched.

Jasper and Ruby had been carried to Daniel and Emma’s rooms.

Ava sat cross-legged on the plush cushion and kept chattering, “Natalie, look, look. Isn’t the dress I

bought for you gorgeous? And Sherri. I bought something for you too. And the color of this lipstick is

especially beautiful. I bought three, one for each

of us…”

Natalie and Sherri exchanged glances and smiled. They looked at the little girl who was busy asking for

praise and said in unison. “Thank you, my dear little princess”

After being praised, Ava squatted on the ground and hummed a pop song as she continued to organize

the gifts for her two sisters. This is Natalie’s, this is Sherri’s, this is Natalie’s, this is also Natalie’s, this is

Sherri’s, this is Jasper’s… Hey, how come I put it in this suitcase? This is still also Natalie’s…”

There were a lot of things. Natalie and Sherri squatted on the ground to help her organize and

distribute things.

In the other suitcase, there was also a pink laptop. Natalie asked, “Do you still have homework?”

Hearing this, Ava tilted her head and looked at her beloved laptop. “I heard from my classmates that

Athana has a few companies with very powerful firewalls,” she said mischievously. “I plan to…” She

trailed off and cackled.

Natalie was speechless. This girl was going to start causing trouble again. Why did she have a bad

feeling? She did not know which company would be Ava’s first victim.

The three of them chatted for a while before Natalie suggested, “Let’s go eat first.”

Sherri was also a little hungry. Knowing that Ava liked to eat, she put her arm around Ava’s shoulder

and said seductively, The dishes in this hotel are especially delicious.”

Ava’s eyes lit up. She just loved to eat different delicacies. “Really? Then I’ll go get Daddy and Mommy.

I’m starving”

After saying that, she rubbed her stomach, indicating that she was truly hungry.

Natalie asked Sherri and Ava to call Daniel and Emma. She planned to look for Joseph. She had seen

Ethan enter Joseph’s room earlier.

She knocked on the door. Ethan opened the door in less than one minute. Before she stepped in, she

checked Ethan’s face. He didn’t seem to be injured and she felt relieved.

Joseph saw this entire thing. He smiled and teased, “I didn’t punish him.”

Natalie understood what he meant. Joseph was telling her that he knew everything. She smiled stiffly

and said, “Joseph, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I just…”

“You didn’t mean to,” Joseph interrupted her. “You just did it on purpose to anger me.”

Natalie knew that Joseph was not actually angry. She smiled and tried to soothe him. “My fault. Please

be the bigger person and forgive me. I’ll definitely report to you truthfully in the future.”

Joseph narrowed his eyes at the ingratiating girl. Since when did Natalie act cute and beg for

forgiveness like Ava? “Remember what you said today.”

Natalie nodded repeatedly, afraid that Joseph would not believe her.

The group arrived at the restaurant on the 36th floor. This floor was the VIP room for the presidential

suite. Guests from ordinary rooms could not come up to eat with them.

The manager of Grand Manor was already waiting in the private room. The dining table was filled with

Grand Manor’s signature dishes. Even cakes and desserts were prepared for the children.

As soon as Joseph entered, his eyes were filled with displeasure. He turned his head and asked the

manager sarcastically. “The Grand Manor has quite a unique customer service. We haven’t even

ordered their food yet, and you already know what we

like to eat?

“Is this skill what helped the Grand Manor to survive in Athana?*

The manager could hear the ridicule in Joseph’s tone, but as a manager in Grand Manor, his social

skills and mentality were definitely better than ordinary people.

The manager didn’t look embarrassed at all. Instead, he smiled with his signature smile. “You flatter

me. These dishes were ordered by our boss. I hope you like them. Our boss is Miss Foster’s friend.”

Natalie felt a little awkward at getting mentioned like this. Didn’t Trevon say that he was going to be

invisible? What was going on now?

Wasn’t he making his presence known in a different way? Did Trevon have some misunderstanding

about the word

“invisible”?

Natalie

put on an awkward smile and scratched the back of her head. “Joseph, I know the boss of this hotel.

Let’s eat first. I’ll explain to you later.”

Curious, Ava took the opportunity to sit beside Natalie. She glanced at Joseph and asked in a low

voice, “Natalie, do you really know the owner of this hotel? Did you book this suite from him?”

“Let’s eat first. I’ll tell you when we get back to the room later. I’ll also tell you a few companies that

aren’t easy to break

into.”

Ava was extremely excited when she heard this and a smile bloomed on her face. As expected, the

conversation was diverted like this.

The meal was very pleasant. Emma kept feeding Jasper. From time to time, she would also pick up

some fish for Ruby. The entire room was filled with happiness, and it was just short of leaking out of the

door.

The manager was a sensible person. Seeing that Joseph didn’t argue anymore, he left quickly.

Halfway through his meal, Daniel frowned. His eyes were filled with thoughts. He quietly took out his

phone under the table and sent a message to Joseph.

Joseph’s phone vibrated on the table, and Emma rebuked him. “Ignore the company’s matters while

you’re eating

“Got it, Mom,” Joseph replied.

However, he still picked up his phone and glanced at it. He looked at Daniel and frowned in confusion

too.

The three girls were talking about their own things. Natalie was trying to hide her thoughts, while Emma

was focused on taking care of the children. Naturally, she did not notice Daniel and Joseph’s gazes and

actions.

Daniel believed in his son’s ability to handle things. He nodded to indicate that it was exactly what the

message said. The father and son looked at each other for a few seconds and understood each other

in a second.

Joseph kept calm as if nothing had happened. He put his phone back on the table and continued to eat

slowly.

Daniel looked up across the table to Natalie and said, “Natalie, let’s rest for the afternoon today.

Tomorrow morning, we’ll go pay our respects to your grandfather first, then we’ll go see your mother. Is

that okay?”

Natalie nodded and agreed. “I’ll follow whatever you plan
