"...I... I can help..." Natalie's hand reached out, trembling heavily."Woman, don't play tricks!" Oliver suddenly spoke, causing Natalie to be frightened and her hand trembled again...Natalie looked up in terror, feeling so embarrassed that her face turned red. She couldn't even utter a word to defend herself by saying, "I didn't play any tricks, you just scared me."When she was about to force herself to continue, the man suddenly grabbed her hand and threw it aside.Natalie stumbled and silently glared at the floor, too angry to say anything except for silently cursing him as a "lunatic.""Get out!" Oliver's voice hadn't even faded yet, but he had already walked straight into the bathroom.The door slammed shut with a loud "bang."OliverAfter taking an hour-long cold shower in an attempt to calm himself down, Oliver walked out of the bathroom and couldn't help but touch his lips.Over the years, countless women had stood in front of him without evoking any emotions from him, but
"You didn't see what she made in the morning and brought to the young master that night. She dared to serve such dishes in front of the young master, it was hilarious!""I heard Natalie is Adrian, the young master's nephew's ex-girlfriend. To outsiders, it seems like the little uncle picked up his nephew's leftover, only the young master can tolerate her!"...Natalie lowered her eyes and chuckled softly. Now it seems like everyone can bully her.She walked over confidently.The two maids were pale with fright when they suddenly saw Natalie. "Ma-Madam..."Natalie smiled faintly, her voice gentle, clear, and dignified. She said, "I am just a discarded woman, I can't bear the title of Madam.""We're sorry, Madam! It's our fault! We shouldn't have spoken out of turn!" The maids bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, their legs trembling.Even if Natalie wasn't favored, she was still the legitimate mistress of this estate, married to Oliver. Anyone who disturbs the hierarchy of the estate
"Lady, we've arrived," Charles reminded Natalie to get out of the car.The tall and solemn mansion's double doors were wide open, with guards and servants standing outside. Inside, there was a harmonious atmosphere of friendly conversations and laughter."Madame Oliver, please come in," a servant gestured to Natalie, but before the words had even finished, everyone in the main hall turned to look at her.There were about ten people inside, all dressed in luxury brand clothing, exuding an air of nobility.As they glanced around and confirmed that only "Madame Oliver" had arrived, they unabashedly scrutinized her, their gazes filled with disdain and contempt.It was just like at the wedding, the same old story.Natalie's feet felt like lead as she shockingly looked at the two people not far away.Why... are Adrian and Hailey here?"Madame, this is Mr. Windsor, Oliver's father. This is his older sister, and this is his older brother, and this is his sister’s son, Master Adrian. And this
Outside the old mansion, a black and domineering Maybach was parked discreetly, but the guards turned a blind eye and did not inform anyone inside the mansion.Charles informed the man inside the Maybach about what had happened at the Fu Mansion."She remained calm. And she even said I was fine?" Oliver raised an eyebrow unexpectedly, his hand caressing a delicate silver mask.In front of him, this woman was as weak as a cat, but she wasn't someone who could be controlled by others.Interesting."Oliver, there's one more thing." Charles, who usually had no expression on his face, briefly furrowed his brow. "The Watson family also has a daughter who was supposed to marry you back then, maybe it's her."Oliver looked up.Charles understood his interest and continued, "Her name is Hailey, she is Robert and his current wife's daughter, and now she is Adrian's girlfriend."Oliver's lips curled up slightly, and his extraordinarily handsome face suddenly revealed a coldness. "Find out withi
Oliver looked at Adrian with a faint gaze, like how one would look at a servant, and said, "Call someone.""Uncle Oliver, I met Natalie, and we..."Oliver's cold aura intensified, interrupting Adrian's words. "Adrian, this is your aunt-in-law, you should call her 'Auntie'."Adrian tightened his face and reluctantly looked at Natalie for a moment before muttering, "...Auntie."The sound of "Auntie" left Natalie both amused and satisfied in a way that cannot be described.Just a few minutes ago, Adrian was acting all tough, and now he had to obediently submit when faced with her!"Don't you want to leave? Or do you want to watch Natalie and me be affectionate?" Oliver half-bodied shielded Natalie in his embrace, inexplicably displeased by Adrian's infatuated gaze towards her.Natalie didn't pay attention to Oliver's address towards her. "Adrian, your girlfriend must be looking for you."So, you should leave!Adrian was driven crazy by Natalie and Oliver's united front."Uncle Oliver, si
Natalie had heard of Oliver's irritable temperament, but seeing it firsthand still sent shivers down her spine. In hindsight, his previous actions towards her were truly kind."Third Brother, let go of your sister-in-law! She is your elder sister!" Henry, feeling sorry for his daughter, tried to persuade Oliver, but no one dared to approach him.Adrian helplessly watched his mother being bullied by someone, but he had no power over Oliver.Natalie was shocked not only by Oliver's fierce temperament but also by Adrian's cowardice. The woman on the ground was his mother, yet he didn't dare openly defy Oliver. How did she ever fall for such a man?"Elder sister?" Oliver repeated indifferently, looking down at the woman on the ground as if he were a king. "Do you know what you should do?""I'm sorry!" The pain in her body and the fear of death made Victoria unable to act tough anymore. She quickly begged for forgiveness; her previous arrogance completely gone. "I'm sorry, Third Brother.
Natalie suppressed her doubts and stopped asking further....Charles quickly returned to Oliver's side.In a low voice, he whispered, "Mr. Windsor, I found out."Oliver glanced at the servant next to him, and the servant immediately tactfully stepped back."Continue," Oliver said."The person who used to flaunt wanting to marry you everywhere was indeed not Madame and was Hailey. The person who originally had an engagement with you was also Hailey. However, after your accident, Hailey no longer claimed to be your fiancee, so for these years, no one knew which Miss from the Watson family had the engagement with you. That's why she ended up marrying Madame."As long as one is not a fool, it is obvious that Hailey clearly rejected Oliver after the accident, and in the end, the Watson family married off Natalie, who was not favored.If Hailey were to find out about the young master's true nature in the future, she would probably regret it to death!"A substitute marriage?" Oliver narrow
Natalie bit her lip and lowered her head for a while before saying, "Your, your wife." "Is it embarrassing to be my wife?" Oliver raised his eyes, holding the trigger.Natalie was terrified that he would aim the dark barrel of the gun at her head if he was unhappy. "Say it again.""I am your wife!" Natalie's tone was commanding, and as she spoke, her cheeks turned red with a sense of shameful confession. Feeling unjust, Natalie couldn't help but quietly protest, "It's not like you actually like me, you don't even treat me as your wife..."Oliver pressed his tongue against his cheek and furrowed his brow. Although she was right, he certainly didn't like this woman who was forced upon him by his grandmother. However, it seemed that he didn't dislike her as much as he had imagined. She behaved like a well-behaved cat in front of him, but beneath this docile facade, there were sharp claws. Perhaps keeping her around would not only mean having a cook, but also having a pet. "Natalie,
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
