Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 667

Natalie comforted Sherri, "Even though Liam is usually very sloppy and not serious, he did very well this time. From his performance this time, I can tell that he's very reliable when it comes to serious matters. Isn't Hackett the same? Let him enjoy himself for once."

Rose agreed. "That's right. If our Harper can get into university this year, I am willing to serve her for a month."

Both Natalie and Sherri were rendered speechless.

Seeing that everyone was silent and looking at her in a daze, Rose continued, "I'm serious. If she can get into the university my husband specified, I can bring her breakfast, lunch, and dinner to her bed."

Everyone laughed.

The two children lowered their heads and continued texting. Only three people were chatting in the group chat. Olivia, Sophia, and Liam. Nona and Cyril did not bring their phones to school. Harper's phone had long been confiscated by Edward. The children who were in primary school did not have phones either.

Rose sighed and continued, "It's true. My husband almost had a heart attack because of Harper's results in the last exam. We have already decided to let Harper repeat her studies. She definitely won't be able to enter university this year."

As she spoke, her phone rang. It was a message from Ava. She took a look at the message and was speechless.

The message in the group chat was [I would like to severely criticize Cyril Roberts. He did not complete his homework during the three-day holiday. He did not write a single word on his language and Arillion test papers, not even his name. He was the only one in the entire class who did not write a single word on his homework. Parents of Cyril Roberts, I hope you can take some time to supervise him. Ninth grade is an important time to lay the foundation of a student's education. If you don't build a good foundation, it will be very difficult for you to learn in the subsequent years of high school. Thank you for your cooperation.]

Natalie noticed that Ava's face had darkened and her shoulders had slumped. Natalie asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Ava didn't want to talk about it anymore. She was still laughing about Harper just now. But now, she couldn't laugh at all and showed her phone to everyone.

After reading the message, Rose laughed to death. She patted her thigh and said, "They're just like each other. You're in the same boat as me. Haha, well, this boy might be criticized when he goes back tonight. He can't even be bothered to write his name."

Natalie's head throbbed when she saw this message. It was indeed infuriating and embarrassing. No wonder that boy wanted her to attend the parent-teacher meeting. "Ava, I think you and Frank's rescue plan has to be brought forward."

Olivia leaned over and glanced at her aunt's phone. She was at a loss for words.

After a while, she asked, "Didn't Cyril say that he finished his homework yesterday?" But in reality, he didn't even write his name.

He must be itching for a beating now that he claimed he finished his homework.

Sophia was also curious about what was going on. She put on her slippers and ran over to take a look. After reading it, she laughed out loud. "Auntie Ava, if you can't bear to hit him, I'll help you teach him a lesson tonight. I guarantee that I'll hit him until he doesn't dare to not do his homework anymore."

Natalie glared at her daughter and instructed, "Sit down. This has nothing to do with you. Just mind your own business."

Sophia returned to her original seat without much interest and replied to the messages in the group chat. Liam was already cursing that the sisters were crazy.

Sophia sent, [Your mother said that you've ascended the throne today. I'm just concerned about you, right Liam?]

Liam asked, [My mom is at your place?]

Sophia replied, [Uh-huh, that's right. Don't change the topic, I'm talking about your ascension.]

Liam was speechless.

Olivia sent a private message to her brother, [Jasper, Cyril didn't write a single word of his homework yesterday. The teacher criticized him in the class group chat just now.]

Jasper did not reply to his sister's message and directly sent a message to the group chat. [From today onwards, Harper and Cyril are not allowed to participate in gatherings until the end of the semester.]

Sophia was satisfied with her brother's swift and decisive speed. [Awesome.]

Liam, who wanted to know the gossip, asked, [What's going on? Did Cyril not do his homework?]

Sophia replied, [Bingo! You have become smarter after ascending the throne.]

Liam commented, [Get lost.]

Seeing that Ava was not in a good mood, Sherri changed the topic. "Natalie, I'm telling you that I like Jasper more and more now. My future son-in-law is too handsome. Let me tell you, if you arrange a marriage for Jasper, I'll fight you to the death. Think about it, if Jasper and Ruby get together, their child would have such good genes. Rose, don't you think so?"

This matter was very difficult to evaluate. Rose could not bear to disagree with Sherri. She said tactfully, "It's useless just saying it. You have to actually make them get together." How many years had they tried to get them together?

Olivia wanted Sherri to wake up. She wanted to tell Sherri that her brother didn't like Ruby. However, there were so many people around, and Sherri's face was filled with smiles, so she couldn't dampen Sherri's enthusiasm. She just shook her head helplessly.

She sent another message to her brother, [Jasper, Auntie Sherri is downstairs asking for you to get engaged to Ruby. Mom didn't agree.]

Jasper quickly replied, [Just keep your mouth shut.]

Olivia pursed her lips tightly as if her brother's words were expected. She glanced at Sherri, who was still going on about it, and shook her head helplessly. She replied, [Oh, alright.]

In the group chat, Sophia and Liam were still arguing. The screen was filled with them asking each other to get lost and wanting to fight. No one stopped them.

Natalie peeled an orange and answered Sherri, "I don't plan to object or matchmake. I only have one attitude. It's up to the child."

Sherri was very anxious about her best friend's attitude. She said agitatedly, "I seriously suspect that you don't like my Ruby."

Natalie still had a piece of orange in her mouth. "Sherri, I just feel that my Jasper is not worthy of your beloved daughter."

"Bullshit. What do you mean he's not good enough? Everything about the two of them is a match made in heaven."

Everyone was speechless.

Frank was even angrier when he saw Cyril's expression. His forehead throbbed and his lips were pursed tightly. He tightened his grip on the ruler. The sound of the ruler hitting his palm was like a drum beating in everyone's hearts. Only Cyril, who was standing, did not feel anything.

He maintained his previous posture and did not even raise his head.

William wanted to persuade his grandson to admit his mistake, but just as he opened his mouth, Grace tugged at his sleeve and signaled him to shut up.

Even Nona did not dare to plead for his brother. His brother had indeed gone too far this time. Yesterday, his mother and father had asked if his brother had finished his homework, but his brother had lied through his teeth.

It wasn't a matter of poor grades, but a matter of attitude. It was serious.

No one dared to persuade him or protect him.

Even Ava sat quietly on the sofa. Although she was worried, she did not dare to interfere. This time, Frank was really angry.

Frank continued to tap the ruler in his hand. Between Frank and Cyril, one of them looked like he was ready to attack at any time, while the other looked like he was ready to be beaten up at any time. They cooperated perfectly and had quite a tacit understanding.

"Speak. You said you finished your homework, so why did the teacher call you out today?"

Cyril lowered his head and replied in a low voice without defending himself, "I forgot about it. I thought I was done."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ruler hit landed on his butt. Frank used all his strength, and Cyril jumped up from the impact. He did not even cry out in pain or grunt.

The few people sitting on the sofa wanted to speak, but they did not dare to. Their hearts tightened and it hurt them to watch. Grace rubbed her temples helplessly, thinking that it was not easy to raise a child well.

Frank gritted his teeth in anger and sighed. He was really afraid that he would die of anger. "Cyril Roberts, if you said that you didn't know how to do it, I might have spared you today. But you forgot? Why didn't you forget to go out and play?"

Cyril did not reply and lowered his head.

Seeing that his son did not answer, Frank raised the ruler and hit Cyril's butt again. The boy still did not cry out in pain.

William thought, "This boy sure has courage, just like Frank. Frank did not cry out in pain when he was beaten up when he was young either. The student surpasses the master. Sigh."

Seeing that his son was silent and stubborn, Frank came up and hit him 15 times in a row on one side. Cyril's butt was burning with pain. He negotiated, "Dad, can you hit the other side instead?"

Initially, everyone frowned with every hit. However, when Cyril finished speaking, everyone felt that he was dead.

Sure enough, in the next second, not only did Frank not change sides, but he also increased his speed. After hitting one side, he made Cyril stretch out his left hand and hit the palm of his left hand until it was swollen before stopping.

In the end, Cyril did not even shed a single tear. He only twitched his mouth in pain. Nona and Ava could not stand it anymore. The Roberts couple also stood up.
