Turning Of The Tide

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.””
