Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 56

Meanwhile, life went on in the Foster family

Emruly Foster was in an excellent mood. The table was piled high with gifts from Max Wilson. After a shower, she sat cross-legged on the bed and unwrapped the custom-made gown Max sent her last night

The sky-blue strapless dress had embedded crystals in the hem that sparkled under the light. It was elegant and beautiful.

The gown must have cost a fortune

Her cell phone suddenly rang, disrupting her self-absorbed moment.

“Hello”

The woman on the other end went straight to the point “Ill get someone to add something to the wine tomorrow Thank of a way to make her sleep with Max”

Emily gaped in shock. But Max is my-” She wanted to say that he was her boyfriend and that she would marry him and become Mrs. Wilson How could she let him sleep with that bitch?

The woman interrupted her. “Drem on! Do you think the Wilson family will approve of your background and let you marry Max? They are concerned you will ruin his reputation Have you been blinded by Max’s small favors and wwert talk The Wilson family is out of your reach! Don’t you understand I’m trying to help you, for crying out loud!

allow

Of late. Emily was almost sure Max would marry her, he was obedient as a puppy. He had taken her home several times too. However, the woman was telling the truth as well. The Wilson family was a prominent one in Athana. They would Emily to be part of the clan even if Max was a useless loser

Unless no woman in Athana dared to marry Max Wilson, it would be difficult for Emily to gam a foothold. Moreover, Max had no say in the family whatsoever.

Emily initially fantasized about marrying Max if she conceived his child out of wedlock. It would be a legitimate reason to become part of the Wilson family.

However, the woman interrupted Emily’s thoughts rudely. “Do you think you can marry into the family if you bear Max’s child: Don’t be such a nincompoop! The Wilson family is not short of descendants. In fact, Max might already have many children, legitimate or otherwise. The celebrities he’s been with were in the dozens. Have you thought about that”

Emily did not expect the woman on the other end to be able to read her inner thoughts.

She hesitated for a moment. “What should I do, then? Many people will be at the banquet. I’m afraid it’ll be challenging to spike the wine. Moreover, Natalie might not even drink it. That bitch is guarded and doesn’t touch anything in our family”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll think of a way. Just keep your mouth shut!

“Miss Blackwell, why do you sound different?” Emily asked suspiciously,

“What are you talking about, Miss Foster? I’m just someone who hates Natalie; I’m not Miss Blackwell. Did you ask Miss Blackwell to help you get rid of Natalie?”

Emily was taken aback. “Oh, so you’re not Miss Blackwell. Then you’re-I didn’t.” She was at a loss and spoke in a daze

“You don’t have to be concerned about who I am. I have my agenda. You will benefit from it; just keep your mouth shut. The more you know, the faster you die. Do you understand?” The woman warned in a threatening tone.

Emily was so frightened that she hurriedly nodded, thinking that the person on the other end was Mia Blackwell.
