Jane was not confident in finishing the fight quickly, so she lowered her head and called Natalie with her phone, but Natalie hadn't answered the call.One of the men said to Jane with ill intentions, "Beauty, why don't you spend a night with us, and we won't accuse you of maliciously injuring someone."One of the men wanted to touch Jane's face, but she skillfully avoided it, leaving marks on him.Jane's previous actions might have left bruises, but it didn't constitute malicious harm.However, if these spoiled playboys really wanted to frame her, they had ways and "evidence" to do so.With so many people around, the person pulling her moved quickly and without regard for others. Natalie bumped into people several times and got glared at and cursed at. She even had to quickly apologize to people after getting hurt."Hey! Let go of me! Who are you? If you don't let me go, I'll call someone!""Mr. Windsor, please let her go!"Adrian was preparing to go to the bathroom when he coinciden
Adrian tried to stop Oliver, but Oliver easily kicked him away.Oliver's mind was fixated on Natalie, and only then did he feel Cadence's hand resting on his.In his embrace, he spread out repulsively, giving a warning glance to those around, and pulled Natalie away with big strides.Adrian and the others wanted to catch up, but a group of bodyguards appeared out of nowhere and stopped them.The leader was Jamie, who had brought Natalie here."Who do you think you are? Do you know who this is? He is the young master of the Harrington family! His grandfather is the chairman of Windsor Group! Move aside!" someone shouted. But soon, it was replaced by sounds of fighting and yelling.Charles waited anxiously outside. Dealing with violent incidents like bar fights was Jamie's specialty.Finally, Charles greeted them when they came out."Sir, lady!" Seeing Oliver's dark and gloomy expression and Natalie, who usually had a good temper, filled with anger and indifference, Jamie didn't know wh
Jane rushed out of the All Night Manor. Outside, there was only the howling night wind and the dazzling light of the All Night Manor sign.She anxiously looked around, but couldn't find any trace of Natalie."Jane, let us take you to the hospital," a man approached, exuding a strong aura of dominance.Just now at the bar, Jane was worried about Natalie. Unusually, she lowered her head and owed a favor to those people, hoping to leave quickly and find Natalie.However, those people had been waiting for a long time to see Jane fall from grace, seizing the opportunity. How could they let her off easily?Jane was furious and in the end, resorted to violence.The bar became chaotic, with several men and one woman fighting without any regard for their dignity.Someone punched Jane in the back, and the fight came to a halt. Within the blink of an eye, four or five men in plain clothes came rushing in, shielding Jane from any danger.The tall figure before her had his features hidden under a
"Natalie, I am your man, your legal husband. What's wrong with me touching you?!" Oliver roared.He had not had an easy night either. He had given Natalie enough time and patience, but she had gone to see Adrian behind his back!What's so good about that man!What kind of taste was that!She despised him, right?! Always despised him!The sound of running water stopped.Natalie raised her head, and the emotional dam that had been tightly sealed since waking up burst open with his words. Tears gushed out, unstoppable.Oliver used to get annoyed when women cried, but now, seeing Natalie in tears, he felt both satisfied and tormented in his heart.He wanted to hold her in his arms, but at the same time, he was angry with her.Natalie cried even harder and weakly leaned against the bathtub, her eyes filled with hatred as she looked at Oliver:"Oliver, you bastard! You absolute bastard!"It was not because he wanted to make love to her, but because he had broken his promise.He knew she fel
While taking a shower, Natalie remembered the intelligent voice communication system next to the bathtub and called Jane to assure her that everything was okay. She had planned to lie and say that nothing major had happened, but little did she know that Jane had already found the Rosewood Estate."Jane, I have prepared myself for worse outcomes even before marrying Oliver. Our marriage isn't equal to begin with; he's bound by the engagement, and I'm bound by reality. So, it doesn't matter. You be good and don't mess things up," Natalie told Jane in this way.Natalie's conservatism stemmed from a lack of trust in emotions.She wasn't prudish; her body should have belonged to Oliver a long time ago.What she found difficult to accept was disappointment.She had already started to let down her emotional barriers. She thought that even in a marriage without a foundation of love, she could still live harmoniously with him.But, as expected, she had been too presumptuous, too laughable!Nat
Oliver had no interest in such occasions, especially Adrian's engagement banquet. But when he thought of Natalie's purpose for going to the bar..."Natalie, do you want to go?" "I don't want to," she replied.But how could she go with those marks on her body? Natalie instinctively pulled up her collar to cover the kiss marks on her neck.Charles, seeing her actions, awkwardly averted his gaze. He didn't see anything!Oliver, however, noticed every little move she made. She said "I don't want to go," not "I don't want to.""Let's go back to the Rosewood Estate," Natalie said, feeling a bit tired. Mainly, she just didn't want to pay attention to Oliver anymore. She went straight to her room after returning to the main building.The master bedroom had been cleaned again. The dark blue carpet was replaced with a pale yellow one, and although the bedding colors remained dark, the pattern had changed.When she thought about the mess on her body and having slept in the bed, Natalie frowned
Oliver only wore a towel around his waist, his well-defined chest adorned with water droplets. The V-line disappeared into the towel, revealing six of his solid eight-pack abs.He knew Natalie wasn't sleeping because her breathing pattern was different.In less than two days, she had lost weight. Her already slim face had become even thinner, showing signs of exhaustion from her illness.Oliver stood by the bed.Bending down, Oliver kissed Natalie's forehead.Natalie couldn't help but tremble her lashes."I will take you to the engagement banquet tonight," Oliver said.Natalie kept her eyes closed and remained silent, neither agreeing nor objecting.After all, she had grown accustomed to his overbearing and domineering nature, and expressing her opinion would only be a waste of breath.Noticing Natalie's calm face and lack of color, Oliver, feeling downcast, left the room and made a call to Charles.Jane was very worried about Natalie but couldn't gauge her current situation and didn'
Natalie was speechless. "You can tell just like that?""Well, I'm not inexperienced. There's nothing I can't see..." Jane's words abruptly stopped as she thought of some unpleasant memories, her joyful expression fading slightly. "Natalie, I'll be going now. Call me if anything comes up.""Alright." Natalie nodded with a smile, having already noticed what Jane had just said.Natalie subtly furrowed her brows, thinking back to the man who had practically stuck by Jane's side two years ago - handsome, arrogant, and wild, yet exuding a natural elegance - his name was Anthony.Natalie knew he was Jane's bodyguard.But she had never encountered a bodyguard who would forbid others from sending love letters to the one they were protecting.Jane paused for a moment and looked up at the building, unable to help but sigh. If Hailey knew who was behind the rumors, would she regret going crazy?But a good-looking appearance was deceitful and useless, just like Anthony.As Jane got into the car, s
