Chapter 61

The most sensational news dominated the headlines on the following day.

Max Wilson of the prominent Wilson family had sex with a woman naked in the park. The X-rated scene became the talk of the town.

Max Wilson was taken away by the police.

Max Wilson was suspected of taking sexual drugs.

Max Wilson was reputed to be a philanderer with a messy private life to boot.

The Wilson family was prominent and prestigious. No matter Max’s misbehavior, the reporters would not have mentioned the Wilson family by name. At most, they would write according to the instructions from higher-ups.

The sensational lieadlines, indeed, would not have made it to the front page on their own. Some higher authority was involved.

No one with a sound mind would dare to tell tales about the Wilson family in Athana, let alone publish them. Even family relations would think twice before picking up a pen or posting online.

At the entrance of the police station, Ted Wilson was so mad he was about to explode. His reputation had been utterly ruined by Max’s shameless behavior.

Having sex naked in a park! He might as well be in a pornographic film!

Meanwhile, Peggy Wilson was heartbroken to see her dispirited son. She ran over to hug Max and stroked his weary face. “You must have suffered, son. What happened to you? Where did you go last night? How did something like that happen? The news about you is all over the internet now.”

She knew Max was a playboy, but how could he be so stupid as to have sex publicly? Who was that woman anyway? Peggy could not understand her son’s mindset.

Only Max’s face was clearly visible. The woman’s face could not be seen at all in the photo.

Peggy was sure her son was framed.

Theo Wilson was so embarrassed by the incident that he refused to pick his grandson up from the police station.

Ted lectured Max after both got into the car. “Where did you go last night? How did you end up at the police station?” he said coldly.

Max felt aggrieved. He vaguely remembered wanting to sleep with Natalie but was unsure if he did. “I don’t know, Dad. I went to Emily’s for a banquet and woke up in a park. I saw Natalie too. How is she?”

Ted was furious when he heard Emily Foster’s name. “I have told you before to stay away from that woman, yet you i sted on bringing her to our home repeatedly. Even your grandfather does not like her What is wrong with you? I am telling you again. Leave your Natalie alone. You’ll have to pay the price if you infuriate Trevon,”

Max was unhappy. “Dad. Trevon doesn’t like Natalie at all. Mom said that they’ll get a divorce soon.””

Peggy nudged her son and told him to shut up. She had only found out about the divorce when she accidentally overheard Rachel Petit and Theo Wilson’s conversation at the Wilson’s residence.

She heard that Theo was worried that Trevon did not like Natalie and wanted to get a divorce in three months. Rachel told the elderly man not to interfere and let the couple work it out. A marriage would take time to work, but it would be like a grave without love.

Peggy only managed to eavesdrop on part of the conversation.

Ted turned around and glared at Peggy; the latter was stunned and tried to avoid his stare. Ted then fixed his gaze on Max. “Even if Natalie divorces Trevon tomorrow, she remains untouchable to you. Your grandfather won’t let you off if you cross the line. Know your place if you want to stay alive. Stay home for the next few days and break ties with that woman, whoever she is. She must have doped you in the first place, I will take care of the news. You’ve utterly embarrassed the family tonight!”

Max, on the other hand, did not utter a single word. Instead, he looked out of the window angrily and ignored his father.

He could break up with Emily Foster but would not give up on Natalie. He lusted after her and would replace a way to get her eventually.

Emily gave Max her virginity. Therefore, he was a little reluctant to leave her. However, she was no match for Natalie in every way.

Meanwhile, it was another work day at the Wilson Group in the city.

Frank Roberts arrived in his Porsche and stopped at the entrance of the building.

He wore a black casual down jacket and wide sunglasses, tooking handsome and sophisticated.

He embodied good looks and was intellectually elegant.

Frank dropped by regularly with Hackett Blackwell, and the people in the company knew him. “Mr. Roberts,” a security guard greeted him.

“Hmm, keep an eye on my car.” Frank tossed the car keys to the security guard at the door.

He then headed straight to the private elevator,

He pushed open the office door, sat down, and leaned against a sofa. He looked at Trevon behind the desk. “Are you asleep, bro?”

Trevon opened his eyes sleepily and glanced at him before clasing them again. “How is it? Have you found out anything?”

Natalie kept him up all night in bed; then she gave him a fright in the bathroom early in the morning. Before he left, she offered to pay for his services. Trevon was so humiliated he almost lost his calm.

“Yes, but I haven’t found out anything yet. The other party used a card without a real name. I can’t get through the number anymore. He must have removed the SIM card and tossed it into the toilet,” Frank said truthfully.

He was all too familiar with such a classic criminal procedure.

Frank pulled a stool and blocked the door last night after Trevon left with the rest. Even though he was alone, the Foster family’s bodyguards would not dare to confront him.

He was Frank Roberts, after all. There was no such thing as bodyguards when the older generation in his family was in the underworld business.

Harry Foster froze and did not dare to move. He trembled and begged for mercy before cutting all ties and pushing all responsibilities to Max Wilson,

However, Frank was not to be trifled with. If Max had wanted to sleep with Natalie, he would not have also doped Sherri Landor. It proved that everyone at Natalie’s table was doped.

Trevon opened his eyes and stared at him. “Investigate the people behind Max’s woman. They didn’t even spare the kids. How decent can they be next to us?”

Frank agreed with him.

Frank and Trevon did not think they were good people when they were ruthless. However, they knew their limits.

“At the moment, there are no signs of direct instructions coming from Emily Foster. The suspicion pointed to a woman who called her. There are unknown numbers in the call log, but we could not trace the callers.”

“I’ve got the cell phone. My hunch is that Emily is definitely involved. I’ll give you an answer in three days,” Frank, promised.

“Okay, I’ll leave it to you.” Trevon was a little tired and continued to close his eyes.

Frank then asked Trevon’s secretary to make two cups of coffee. He did not plan to leave so soon. One look at Trevon, and he knew that the latter did not sleep well the entire night.

As for why, Frank made some informed guesses, knowing he would not be far from the truth.

He took a sip of coffee and said slowly, “You didn’t sleep all night?”

“Yes, are you leaving soon?”

Frank did not reply. Instead, he said, “You chased me away after using me. Do you still want a divorce?”

Moments later, Trevon said muffledly, “She wants a divorce.” |

Frank realized that Natalie was the one who wanted a divorce, not Trevon.

Then he finished his coffee, got up, and put on his sunglasses. “I’m leaving,” he said and walked away.

Reyon was dumbfounded. “Come with me tomorrow to Blackwell Group for the land deal,” he called out to Frank.

Frank turned around. “I’m not available tomorrow. Find another way if you don’t want to interact with them.”

“Going racing?” Trevon asked knowingly.

“Yes, the gambling pool is reaching 50 million. I don’t want to miss the opportunity.”

There was a race in the Athana countryside tomorrow, it was Frank’s home turf, but two out of three people had bet on the national racing champion instead.

When it was reaching the end of the night shift, Natalie was summoned to the office by the director.

The surgical director smiled, “Come in, Natalie. Take a look.”

She smiled and pointed at a document on the table.

Natalie was puzzled; she picked up the paper on the table in confusion. “Is this the talent reserve program list?”

“What’s going on, Chief?”

The department director spoke softly and earnestly, “These are the spots our hospital has fought for with the higher-ups in Athana.. Athana Hospital was allotted five spots yearly, and our department secured two this year. I have spoken to the hospital director and recommended you try it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Natalie. Don’t pass it over. Others don’t have a chance even if they want to. We have to submit the name list within a week. Thank about it carefully

Natalie’s emotions were complicated, but she was also excited. “When does it start? How long do I need to stay?”

The director said smilingly. “You need to stay for two years and will set off after the middle of January. There are less than two months left. Think about it, Natalie. It wasn’t easy for me to get a spot for you; don’t miss this opportunity. You’re not married and don’t have children now. You can devote yourself to work for the next two years.”

Natalie looked down guiltily. “Got it. Shall I take the document back?”

“No, you can’t. Think about it and sign it at my office. Don’t tell anyone else; everyone wants this opportunity.”

Natalie was very grateful to the director. The latter hired Natalie at the Athana Hospital after she graduated from Athana Medical University. Working at the prestigious hospital was a coveted job everyone was after.

The director was also her mentor when it concerned medical and academic matters. She would explain in detail to Natalie patiently. The director also took her into the operating theater wherever possible to gain practical knowledge.

The director looked at Natalie’s back as she left. She felt gratified that her student was promising and outstanding. Natalie had

made her look good in return. However, she felt sad and heartbroken for Natalie at the same time. She could not forget when Barron Foster came to her in the middle of the night, begging her to take his granddaughter under her wing

The elderly man’s selfless love for his grandchild moved her to tears.
