Natalie's tone wasn't good because after someone exposed her scandal, the production team didn't inform her immediately but instead interviewed others, causing this matter to escalate.The production team acted unscrupulously.Not only were they unscrupulous, but they also made people feel disgusted.Oliver sat cross-legged beside her, watching how she would "resolve" the problem herself."Ah, Miss Watson," the person on the other end who was in contact with her said with a smile, "I know what you want to talk about. Actually, our production team didn't do much. We didn't say anything bad about you or disclose any information about you. We just conducted interviews with a few contestants in response to the enthusiasm of netizens. Isn't that right?"The other party obviously thought there was nothing wrong with this. "Miss Watson, now that the popularity of this show has skyrocketed, with record-breaking clicks and followers, it's a win-win situation for everyone, including you!""Ha!"
Oliver felt a tremor in his heart. "Better than them."His woman would naturally perform the best.Hearing the answer she wanted, Natalie smiled brightly, feeling much more at ease. "Although your credibility as a layperson is not high, thank you, brother!""Not high credibility..." Oliver chuckled and pinched Natalie's chin. "Are you insulting me?""No, no!" Natalie's eyes curved as she felt a warm feeling with Oliver for the first time.A rich aroma wafted from the kitchen.It was the apple pie that Natalie had baked.The golden and crispy apple pie was now ready.The pie, with its perfect blend of buttery aroma and tangy apples, whets the appetite and triggers salivation. Natalie handed Oliver a piece, but the man furrowed his brows, showing no interest in this kind of dessert that little girls liked."Uncle Liam, would you like some?" Natalie turned to Liam, pretending as if nothing unmentionable had happened in the living room just now.Liam smiled and graciously responded, "Than
Oliver held Natalie tighter in his arms and whispered, "Go back to sleep."Natalie's head bumped against his solid chest, feeling warmth from his embrace. But recalling his gentle demeanor just now, she refrained from making any awkward movements.She fell back asleep, experiencing a night of pleasant dreams.As Natalie's breathing became steady, the man's eyes grew cold and fierce.He sent a message to Charles, mentioning a few names and issuing a second command.Natalie woke up again, and the morning light had already seeped into the bedroom. There was an empty spot next to her in bed.A note was left on the bedside table, written in Oliver's forceful handwriting that reflected his dominating personality.It read: "Announce the marriage."Natalie's heart trembled as she touched the wedding ring on her finger.He took her away from everything.But now she was already considered a semi-public figure, and if their marriage was announced... even if it isn't...Revealing Oliver's identit
That necklace rumored to be a sky-high pendant was nothing more than her wedding ring.In just a short sentence, Natalie managed to wash away any doubts."Damn, Natalie is married? She got married so young? She looks like she just turned legal!""The wedding ring was said to be a necklace. Whoever leaked that, your information is maliciously distorting the facts!""For some reason, I feel like Jane's words make sense. Women are really scary!""Am I the only one who noticed Natalie's collarbone? It's so beautiful, I could lick it for a year!"Internet users always flip-flop in their opinions, and Natalie is used to swiftly contradicting them.Because of Jane's incident, she had to revise her caption once again."Natalie": I'm 20 years old this year, meeting the legal age for marriage. The clothes were bought by my husband, and the car that night belonged to my husband. Thank you for your concerns! In addition, regardless of how The Watkins is now, Jane has never changed, whether it's h
Although Oliver was not satisfied with her being forced into this marriage, he did fulfill his duties as a husband and protected her. This was the first time, apart from Flora and Jane, that someone had treated her this way."Milady, why don't you personally thank the young master?" Liam suggested.Personally expressing her gratitude would naturally be more sincere than someone else conveying the message. However, Natalie wasn't in a hurry for now, especially considering the embarrassing incident that happened when she rashly appeared at the RK Group headquarters last time. She shook her head to refuse.Charles received a meaningful look from Liam and refrained from saying "Okay" that was about to come out of his mouth. Instead, he solemnly said, "Milady, I don't know what you want to thank him for. If you wish to thank him, please get in the car.""...Then I'll wait until my brother returns to say it. I don't want to disturb him while he's working," Natalie found an excuse."Mr. Wind
Unexpectedly, he was humiliated by an assistant! Michael picked up his briefcase and hurriedly bid farewell without mentioning his daughter again. Natalie let out a sigh of relief and brought out the food from the lunch box. Natalie's intention was simple. As Oliver had protected her reputation like a responsible husband, clearing rumors about her online, she should do her part to help him. But Oliver didn't think that way. He sat on the couch with his legs crossed, looking at Natalie with a smirk. "Just now, Mrs. Windsor was acting like a wife, eliminating other pursuers for me." Oliver didn't like women who were overly calculating, but if Natalie got unhappy because of other women being nice to him, he thought it was quite enjoyable! Was he mocking her? Natalie had the urge to roll her eyes. Who was she doing that for? "Brother, thank you for the online matter." Oliver glanced at the dishes: baked salmon, seafood rice, shrimp salad, and a spicy dish. It was a lavish spread, clearly
When he now asked her seriously and respectfully, the word "no" hesitated on Natalie's lips.Even if this marriage wasn't his true desire, he had helped and protected her after their wedding, along with her own body.If he was insistent, he would have taken it long ago.It was precisely under this subconscious realization that she had allowed his "mischievous" actions earlier."Not here."Natalie panicked and glanced around the office, still decorated in Oliver's signature gray and dark tones.This statement was tantamount to giving consent.Countless women were eagerly waiting for him, ready to be chosen and taken by him, but only the woman in front of him nodded, bringing immense joy to Oliver's heart and soul."Okay."Oliver cupped Natalie's face with both hands and fiercely kissed her sweet lips, a gleam of darkness in his eyes.Indeed, his precious baby only responded to tenderness, not force.The food in the thermal lunchbox had been sitting there for too long and was almost col
Coincidentally.Natalie didn't sleep very well that night, whether it was because she had gotten used to having Oliver by her side during this period or because of the news during the day, she couldn't tell.If it was the former, it would be terrifying.The next morning, Natalie received a call from Oliver."What gift do you want?"It was another gift.Natalie thought of the priceless necklace in the wardrobe and quickly said, "There's nothing I want.""Hmm?" Oliver was dissatisfied with her response."Oh, the things I like, you can't bring them back." His domineering nature resurfaced, and Natalie was worried that if she didn't say anything, he would buy her gifts worth millions."What's that?"The conditions at the private hospital in France were excellent, and the ward had floor-to-ceiling windows. Oliver put his hand in his pocket and could see the silhouette of the Eiffel Tower in the distance."Sunrise." Natalie said, "I really like Monet's 'Sunrise'."Oliver chuckled. "No taste
Oliver furrowed his brows, looking at the spaghetti in the thermos.But in his mind, he pictured the seafood soup Natalie used to make.Susan's spaghetti was simple and hadn't changed over the years.Natalie, on the other hand, would carefully consider the pairing and nutritional aspects when cooking and use more diverse ingredients."I'll eat it later," Oliver said.Susan's eyes lit up with joy, and she sweetly smiled at Oliver. "As long as you want to eat it, I can make it for you from now on!"Oliver's brow twitched imperceptibly upon hearing "from now on", feeling an inexplicable resistance, and Natalie crossed his mind."Susan, I called you here to ask about this. What's going on?" Oliver took out his phone, displaying the news article about him and Susan."I... I just came back to the country and needed some attention and publicity, so... I'm sorry, I didn't know the netizens would speculate like this." Susan subconsciously glanced at Oliver. Although he often appeared expressio
"Because Zoey is so good at makeup, and there's only Jacob in our group, how could I lend you makeup." Jane's smile is mischievous, as if it were a joke, making people feel no disgust, "You have Zoey's makeup technology, we use cosmetics to make up for Jacob's poor aesthetic, just to even out the odds!"Zoey chuckled, thinking that Jane, the former top socialite, was indeed not bragging. She managed to manipulate people without offending anyone unrelated, hitting the target precisely."Jane, aren't you going to scold me to death?" Jacob exclaimed in anger.His hands trembled as he applied blush on Natalie's cheeks. Having never done makeup for a woman before, he was already nervous, and then there was a woman next to him who kept making sarcastic remarks.Jane laughed, "You won't die, but you might feel happier."Lily looked at Natalie, hoping she would speak up and exchange props with her, but Natalie closed her eyes and allowed Jacob to do her makeup as if she hadn't heard anything.
"Lily!" Sharon frowned and reprimanded her.Lily pretended to suddenly understand, "Ah! I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?"Zoey looked at these two people and a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. She had seen through the tricks of these young people as if watching a show.Jane sneered at Lily and her lips moved slightly as she quietly asked Natalie, "Natalie, do you think I should throw this lunch in her face?"Natalie calmly held Jane's wrist and calmed her down.It wouldn't be good for Jane's reputation if she were to have conflict with Lily in front of so many people.Instead, Natalie smiled and said, "Why do you care about what I do with my husband? Are you interested in my husband? Whether or not I cook for him, isn't it my freedom to decide?" If Natalie's husband were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but unfortunately, he's Oliver. If she speaks carelessly, she could easily be labeled as someone who harbors ill intentions towards him, becoming the laughingstock and g
Jacob was shocked, his captivating fox eyes widened, "You...""Jane won the National Junior Amateur Shooting gold medal prize in high school. Haven't you heard of it?" Natalie said as she picked up the note to read it.Jacob was still stunned and thought, "I've only heard that Jane used to fight and go to bars. Who knew this girl would also play with guns? Is this a joke?""Both fighting and shooting? What's the point of being reincarnated as a woman?" Jacob couldn't help but comment."Just to make you feel ashamed. A man who wasted three bullets!" Jane laughed, her beauty extraordinary.Look down on my best friend? I'll curse you until you question your life!Natalie spread out the notes and said, "There are seven words."NPC Reminder: "Not every clue is a valid one."Jacob had an expression of "what the hell."What's the point of a clue if it's invalid?!The directing team loves this kind of teasing plotlines."How can we tell what this
Although the online photos didn't reveal Oliver's face or provide any indication of who he was, Natalie recognized him at first glance. It was the man she had once shared a bed with.He was the man who said he had work that night when she called."Natalie, don't overthink it. Maybe that's not Oliver? You can call him and ask." Jane advised, though she was already cursing Oliver inwardly."That person is Oliver." Natalie lowered her gaze and sneered. She recognized the cufflink he was wearing, the one she had given him.Not only that cufflink, but almost everyone in Paykston's upper circles knew that Mr. Windsor's most commonly used car was a top-of-the-line Rolls-Royce Phantom, with a black body and subtle luxury, bearing the license plate "7".And the car that was exposed online met all the requirements for Oliver's vehicle!"Take your positions, we're about to start!" The director's team urged.Lily touched up her makeup and walked over with a smile. "N
When Natalie finished her class and arrived at the recording site, most of the other guests had already arrived. The area was cordoned off, and there were many onlookers standing outside the designated area, including students from other universities who had rushed over after hearing the news.Natalie spotted someone in one of the guest's seats from a distance, her gaze flickered and then she smiled with joy, "Jane!"Jane stood up and embraced Natalie as she ran towards her.The surrounding students whispered to each other:"Natalie is also a guest?""Natalie's beside Jane? I can't believe it!""Who is that person? Such a strong presence!" "You don't know Jane? The former top socialite was not boasting." "Because birds of a feather flock together, beautiful people naturally become best friends with other beautiful people, right?" "Jane, why did you agree to be on a variety show?" Natalie asked, puzzled. Jane's personality was clearly not s
"This way to your seat." the assistant said to the tall man behind him.Even with sunglasses on, Natalie still recognized him at first glance. He was Joseph, the country's top male international supermodel!With wheat-colored skin and not particularly delicate features, he exuded absolute sophistication, making him a darling of several luxury brands. He had an inherent sense of nobility, fitting for a male model."If all goes well, we should be finished filming today and return home the same day. You will have a day off tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, you'll join the team to record the variety show." Emily stopped mid-sentence when she noticed Natalie's peculiar gaze.She followed Natalie's line of sight and locked eyes with Joseph, who had taken off his sunglasses.After a moment of bewilderment, Emily averted her gaze and continued discussing the schedule and today's points of attention with Natalie.Joseph casually spun his sunglasses on his fingerti
"Mrs. Windsor, are you going to deny it after hugging me?" Oliver said, his emotions unclear."What do you mean by ‘deny it after hugging'? What is there to deny?" Natalie replied, confused.Confronted with Natalie's baffled expression, Oliver instinctively pulled her into his arms and gave her a kiss.Natalie subconsciously glanced toward the company's entrance gate, and sure enough, she saw multiple pairs of curious eyes staring at them.Quickly, Natalie pulled Oliver toward the car, her ears burning red.Meanwhile, Oliver stood motionless, allowing Natalie to pull and tug, like a sulking child.Natalie looked up at the sky in disbelief, wondering what this man was up to. Suddenly, a thought flashed in her mind. She tiptoed and quickly pecked Oliver's lips, whispering softly, "Darling, shall we go home?"Her voice, unbeknownst to Natalie herself, carried a gentle warmth, sounding almost coquettish. Oliver had originally intended to defy her and stand th
"Go and apologize to her!" Just minutes before Storme brought Lily to apologize, Emily had discovered that Lily was the one who had used an employee card to enter and had brushed shoulders with Mrs. Watson. "Emily, Natalie, I'm truly sorry. Lily made a mistake today. She didn't recognize Mrs. Watson and thought she was one of Natalie's relatives with an urgent matter. That's why she brought her in. We came to apologize!" Storme, being a top-tier agent at HHY, possessed excellent skills and emotional intelligence.Lily sincerely apologized to Natalie, echoing Storme's explanation.Emily and Natalie exchanged a subtle glance- they were surely lying!Emily's smile remained unchanged as she said, "What a coincidence indeed! Lily brought in Mrs. Watson to create a scene. It seems even the security guards didn't hear anything. If I hadn't made the call, they might not have come at all."What did she mean by "Lily brought in Mrs. Watson to create a scene"! Emily k
