Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 11

At 6 PM, the dining room table of the Foster family was already set with a table full of food. The whole family was waiting for Harry to start having dinner.

Harry, however, was pacing back and forth in the living room. He was anxious and unable to sit down with peace of mind.

He had his hands behind his back and was frowning every now and then.

His current wife, Elena Foster, was dizzy from his pacing, but she could not say anything directly to ask him to stop because she knew she would not have a good time if she offended him. She had worked so hard to become Harry's wife!

She asked politely, "Harry, what's wrong with you? You've been pacing back and forth for almost an hour. Tell us what's going on and see if Emily and I can work out a solution for you."

Emily Foster was checking her manicured nails and wiping them attentively. When her mother mentioned her name and because her mother had been giving her a wink, she sat up straight and stopped wiping her nails.

Hearing Elena's words, Harry was furious. In the afternoon, he went to the law firm to consult about the inheritance, which said that he could not retrieve the property even if he went to court for legal action. Because Barron's will had been notarized ten years ago, and there was no loophole to say that Barron was not in his right mind when he wrote the will.

The words "ten years ago" made Harry furious. He thought back to that time. That was the time after his ex-wife jumped off a building and died.

The lawyer from the law firm said that he could inherit Barron's property if Natalie herself voluntarily transferred the property to his name.

This was where Harry was upset. He had gone to Natalie a few days before, and there was no way Natalie would comply with his wishes and voluntarily transfer the property to his name.

Not to mention the transfer of the inheritance, it would be great that she would no longer be against him.

She even teamed up with Sherri to drive him out. She was simply a rebellious daughter.

Emily whispered softly and nicely, "Dad, why don't we discuss the solution together? What if Mom and I can help?"

After Harry thought about it, he thought Emily was right. He had no solution, but what if Emily and Elena had?

Harry then went over the matter of Barron's property and also included his rejection by Natalie.

Elena and Emily listened to it, and their faces stiffened with anger. They forced down their discontent and cursed Barron many times in their hearts.

Elena could not tolerate this. She endured for so many years, but in the end, she found out that a large sum of her family's fortune had been distributed to Natalie. She simply could not accept this fact.

She deliberately stirred up discord and said, "Natalie is too selfish. How could she inherit her grandfather's things alone without asking you? No matter what, you're the first heir. Her years of study have been for nothing."

Upon hearing this, the anger in Harry's heart became even more intense, and he even wanted to strangle his rebellious daughter.

Emily also began to sow discord. She reminded politely, "Dad, Natalie is not willing to transfer the property to you, and she is holding 20 percent of the Foster Group shares. Once she gets married, it will be impossible for us to get this part of the shares back. Natalie's husband's family will own those shares."

Emily's point was to remind Harry that he could still get the 20 percent of the shares back now and that he needed to do so quickly.

Elena looked at Harry's face, and sure enough, his expression was a little more gloomy than it had been earlier. Elena curled her lips and said, "Alas, what can we do? Natalie is already 23 years old, and it's impossible that she'll stay unmarried. But once she gets married, the shares will have nothing to do with you, Harry. She is so selfish. If the shares were in Emily's name, she would have transferred them back to you a long time ago. Natalie is taking over what belongs to you. I've never heard of any granddaughter taking over such a large portion of her grandfather's property. See, Emily has nothing."

Her implication was that Barron had two granddaughters, but Emily got nothing.

"Natalie is really selfish. Why does she occupy so much property? She doesn't even know how to take care of it. She rides a motorcycle very fast every day. What if she really has an accident someday? What should we do then?"

Emily said while looking at Harry's face from time to time to observe the change in his expression.

As a matter of fact, Harry's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent, but it passed instantly.

Elena could see her daughter's disappointment and gave her a reassuring look.

Everything in the living room was watched by a pair of eyes on the second-floor stairway, who immediately edited a message and sent it out.
