Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 698

Ruby lowered her head and nodded. She did not dare to look into her father's eyes. Hackett almost could not breathe. He confirmed that his guess was right.

Every time this lousy evidence was placed in front of him, something would always overturn his conjecture. Frank Roberts, this bastard even said that he always kept an eye on this Wilson brat. He kept an eye on his daughter so tightly, but she was still kidnapped by that young asshole.

He took a deep breath. He could not flare up in front of his daughter. He had to save this anger for those two bastards. Each of them was racking their brains to kidnap his precious daughter. He had to take revenge on them one day

He could tell that his daughter liked the brat very much. Hackett asked calmly, "Baby, can you tell me why you hid it from Daddy?"

Ruby already knew that her father was lying about those standards. But she and Jasper thought that he was serious, and that's why Jasper tried his best to deserve to be the son-in-law of the Blackwell family. "Because he wants to become the richest man you mentioned. He said that he wanted to meet the conditions before marrying me. | wanted to tell you, but | was afraid that you wouldn't agree. If that happens, you'll fall out with his family.”

The relationship between the two families would worsen. If Mom agreed and Dad disagreed, Mom and Dad would argue, although Mom would be angrier and Dad would coax her in the end.

Jasper said that he would apologize until her father forgave him.

Hackett understood his daughter's thoughts. She was probably afraid that he would not agree to her relationship with the brat. Seeing that his daughter's eyes were red, he could not bear to scold her anymore. He snorted softly. "Hmph, | suspect that it's his Trevon who wants to cut ties with me."

Then, Hackett asked in a displeased tone, "Did he already know about it?"

This matter was awkward. She had always thought that they did not know. It was not until this trip that she found their relationship had been open to the Wilson family. It was not appropriate for her to lie now, so she nodded.

Seeing his daughter nod, Hackett understood. He secretly made up his mind to take revenge. "Do you like him? Will you marry anyone but him?"

Ruby continued to nod and gave a positive answer. She said carefully, "Dad is so good to me. He has worked hard to become a qualified son-in-law as you said. As long as you don't agree, we won't get married.”

She was a little afraid to say the exact time, afraid that her father would fly into a rage. At this moment, her father's expression was gloomy but it did not seem to be targeted at her, but at his so-called friends.

Ruby was about to comfort him and apologize again when she raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Hackett's eyes. Just as her lips opened, Hackett spoke. Seeing that his daughter was dating secretly, he felt uncomfortable. His tone relented a little. "Ruby, | can forgive you for your mistakes, but you have to promise not to hide anything from your mother and me in the future. However, don't tell your mother about this first. | still have an important thing to do."

If Sherri found out about this, things would forge ahead. Perhaps she would go to the Wilson's residence tomorrow to discuss the marriage between the two families. Trevon had set a trap for him. He had to take revenge before agreeing to their marriage.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

After knowing that Ruby's boyfriend was Jasper, Hackett realized that he was not as angry as he had imagined. He had reason to suspect that he had been assimilated by Sherri. After, she always got Jasper's name on her lips every day.

After understanding his daughter's thoughts, Hackett no longer wanted to know how long they had been together. He was afraid that if he got the accurate answer, it would eat him alive. It had been a long time since his daughter had these subtle changes. He could roughly estimate the time. Previously, he had raided the studio from time to time because he had his suspicions, but he never found any clues.

He even suspected that Jasper had learned about criminal investigation and that was why they could hide their relationship so perfectly.

However, from his daughter's smile, it could be seen that she was very happy. Just based on this fact alone, he became more willing to accept Jasper. His original intention for choosing a son-in-law was to hope that his future son-in-law could give his daughter a happy and carefree life.

After thinking for half a minute, he finally got over himself. Now he was a good father of magnanimity.

Ruby stared at her father nervously and did not dare to disturb him. She held the milkshake in her hand and did not drink anymore. However, after telling him about this, she felt much more relieved.

“Remember what Dad said just now. Other than this matter that you can't tell your mother now, you have to tell us everything in the future."

Ruby nodded and stopped asking her father for the reason. She did not ask how her father knew it was Jasper either. After thinking about it carefully, everything was traceable. When she opened the studio, her father did not come to the studio much. She couldn't remember when her father suddenly came to pick her up. He did not inform her in advance and only said that he did it in passing. He might have suspected it long ago.

She didn't tell her mother because her mother tended to get excited by anything. After thinking for a while, she continued to confess, "Dad, I'm now a designer for OnLy."

After knowing that his daughter was in a relationship with Jasper, he was not so surprised to hear about this matter. He had suspected the name of this company for a while. As expected, Frank still said that he was the son-in-law of a tampon tycoon. He had to buy a box of tampons for him.

"So you're not going to Haililand to participate in the competition this time, but Artroyland?" Ruby shook her head and nodded. "Both. In Haililand | participated in women's clothing, and in Artroyland it's men’s clothing."

He had seen the photo of Jasper receiving the award. He was indeed quite handsome. In terms of looks, this young man could match his standards. "So you didn't go to receive the award to hide it from Dad?"

Ruby shook her head. "No, | didn't. We made the decision together. He didn't want too many people to harass me so | could focus on my designing job."

Hackett didn't look very satisfied on the surface, but in his heart, he was still satisfied with the brat's actions. Keeping a low profile and being mysterious could indeed save a lot of trouble. However, he didn't say anything to praise Jasper. He only took a tissue and handed it to his daughter.

"Take your milkshake.”

"Dad, can you forgive me? | promise this is the only thing I've hidden from you since | was born." Ruby did not drink the milkshake. She just held it in her hands. Afraid that her father would not believe her, she raised one hand and swore.

Hackett stood up and stood beside her daughter. He took her hand down. "Daddy believes you."

But he had a fear in his mind. ‘Lord, she has always been a good girl who never lies. But once she tells a lie, that is destructive enough to murder me. She must have been led astray by that brat.

Hackett chatted with his daughter in the office for a long time until it was time to get off work. Hackett asked about how Jasper treated his daughter and that was a test for the young man.

In the end, her daughter shared bits and pieces of the time they spent together. Hackett was satisfied. However, he was still stingy about compliments and did not praise him. He felt stifled and had to vent his anger.

Before going home, Hackett stated his condition. "Ruby, | can agree to your relationship with that brat, but | also have to test him. You and he both did the wrong thing, but from my perspective, he is the one who led you astray. So, you can't tell him we have a conversation today. This is also a test set by me. Do you hear me? You have to go home before nine in the evening from today

on. He was indeed curious when and how Jasper would come to apologize. This Wilson brat committed a bold crime.

Ruby nodded in agreement. Now, she would do whatever her father said. Not to mention going home on time, she would even agree to move the studio home.

"Dad, will you beat them?"

"No, I'm a refined person. I'm not a rough person like your godfather." But there was a bigger chance for Sherri and Natalie to have a fight.

At 10:30 pm, in a cafe, two men sat opposite each other. The older man had a sullen expression, and the younger man looked apologetic as he politely pushed the gifts on the table across from him.

The young man clenched his fists tightly on his knees before unfolding them. "Mr. Blackwell, I'm sorry. I'm Ruby's secret boyfriend. Sorry to hide it from you."

On the way back from the church, Jasper felt the change in Ruby's emotions. He guessed the reason. There was one sentence that he remembered very well. Ruby said that she had become a good liar. He could tell how helpless and unwilling she felt when she accused herself.

For a person who never lied, she was unwilling to tell a new lie to cover up the old one. He did not want Ruby to be in a dilemma and feel guilty.

He caught these emotions from Ruby that afternoon. Even when she was praying, she frowned with guilt as if she was atoning for her crime. Since she was unwilling to lie, he should be the one to handle the matter. He should be the one to get scolded.

Hackett asked, "Ruby asked you to come here?" "No, | came here on my own."

Hackett looked at him carefully and saw that he did not speak. He put on airs and did not look at the things on the table. He leaned back in his chair and folded his hands as if he was negotiating. The elder man asked, "Aren't you planning to become the richest man? Why aren't you sticking to your principles?"

Hackett could see Jasper's efforts. He was indeed a hard-working young man.

Hearing this, Jasper answered seriously and said with honesty, "Because I'm afraid. I'm afraid that Ruby will become someone else's girlfriend and wife when | am trying to be the richest man."

When the name of the studio implied that Ruby was willing to be his girlfriend, but he failed to get this message. He wasn't also sure that Ruby could wait for him. After all, it wouldn't take a year or so to become the richest man in Athana. He needed time.

Hackett sized up the future son-in-law in front of him again. In terms of ability, appearance, and height, they were compatible. "Do you think | can agree to your relationship with Ruby? Look what you and your father have done to me. I'm very angry. Forget it, I'll settle your father's matter with him one day. Let's talk about you first."

"No matter whether you agree or not, | will still work hard. | will not give up on Ruby. As for the mistakes I've made, | will make it up to Ruby. | will treat Ruby better and better."

Hackett laughed. "You're quite smart."

He knew what Jasper was thinking. As long as he treated Ruby well, nothing could be a problem. Young at age, but he was quick in mind.

Jasper added, "I will also treat you well in the future."

Hackett started flipping through the documents in front of him. Although he thanked him, his tone did not have the slightest hint of gratitude. He was full of arrogance. "Thank you. Did you not tell Ruby that you came alone to propose marriage tonight?"

“Ruby didn't know that I came to look for you. It's also because of me that she didn't tell the truth. If you feel bad, just vent it on

me.

It's not a proposal. Oh, so it's just a statement and an apology.’

Hackett sighed in his heart. What a telepathic couple. They did the same thing. Both of them were trying to shoulder the mistake and spoke for each other. No wonder Ruby was so loyal to that brat.

When he saw the allocation of shares of the clothing company and the airline company, Hackett was stunned for a moment. This brat was generous. No wonder his daughter said that he was working hard to get close to the richest man. He seemed to use the assets worth the richest man as an engagement gift. "Are you giving it all to Ruby?"

Whether it was the clothing company or the airline company, all the shares belonged to his daughter. At the end, there was a handwritten statement, signed and stamped, indicating that the assets he had worked hard to earn in the future would all belong to Ruby.

Jasper nodded with a worried expression. He was afraid that Hackett would disagree. After all, he was not the richest man yet, and he had made a mistake. "| can guarantee that | can become the richest man in Athana in the future. My father can do that so I can also. It might take a little time, but that day is bound to come."

Meeting Jasper's affirmative gaze, Hackett almost said that there was no need. He had already been olan enough to marry Ruby ks forthe richestiidirin Athana, that's not necessary. However, after thinking about it, he didn't express it. "l, Hackett Blackwell, am not a snobbish man. There's a reason why | said that you need to be the richest man."

"| know. You want to find someone capable of taking care of Ruby in the future."

Hackett coughed. There was nothing wrong with the brat, other than having hidden their relationship. "Yes, regarding the matter of the richest man, you keep doing your job. | don't object to Ruby's marriage."

"You don't object?"

Hackett cut off the Jasper's excitement. "Hold on. | haven't finished my words. | wanted to beat you up, but on account that

likes you Wor OSAFOUYH Tran. Aner ail ma scholar, not a rude person like your father. | won't hit you, but your identity as my future son-in-law has to be confirmed. Since you have made a sincere apology today, I'll give you a chance to make up for your mistakes. You have to pass the probation before marriage." Please read the original content at .

Jasper did not quite understand this term. "Probation?" He could understand making up for his mistakes.

"You don't understand?" Seeing that Jasper did not respond, Hackett explained with a smile, "You're Ruby's boyfriend now, right? From today onwards, you'll be demoted to her reserved boyfriend. There's room for advancement and also the risk of disqualification."

Jasper understood it. This was considered a light punishment. Before he came, he thought that his godfather would beat him up and had made mental preparations for it.

He asked again, "What about making up for my mistakes?" As long as it was not a breakup and there was a chance to make up for it, it was fine.

"You can tell Ruby about our conversation tonight, but you can't tell your parents or anyone else. | need to take revenge on them all by myself. | want to see whether your father and uncle will apologize to me."

Hackett added sternly, "You don't have to be afraid of me. | agree with your relationship because of my Ruby. Whether you can become our son-in-law depends on your performance. I'll keep an eye on you. From today onwards, you have to send Ruby home before nine o'clock. Not even a minute later."

Jasper agreed without hesitation. "Got it. I'll do it."

Hackett's eyes flashed. He had a plan in mind, and there was a naughty smile on his lips. "Remember, by the way, buy 100 boxes of OnLy tampons tomorrow. Then send them to your uncle and let him experience it himself. Remember, don't tell me the reason. You send them personally."

"100 boxes? Tampons for my uncle?"

Hackett smiled. He didn't care if the brat understood or not. He just instructed, "Change the company's name. Don't use the name of a tampon company."

"Yes, I'll change it. I'll change it to the same name as Ruby's studio. It was originally a company for her." Hackett didn't respond to this. He didn't intend to guide or interfere with their plans.

In the end, Hackett scolded Frank and Trevon for half an hour. Throughout the entire process, Jasper could only listen quietly,

Before getting into the car, he instructed Jasper to deliver the tampons to Frank. Hackett asked him to bring the papers back first and said that he would talk about it after he advanced.
