Even if one is not acquainted with the Windsor family affairs or familiar with Oliver, anyone who is not blind can see that Oliver is not someone who would easily offend even Henry."Apologize first, then you may shut up," Oliver said.From Natalie's perspective, she could look up to see Oliver's resolute chin and his long, curled eyelashes.He is usually reserved, but today he is speaking solely for her.Natalie lowered her gaze, restraining these thoughts that stirred her heart."...Natalie, I'm sorry! I misunderstood you before," Hailey lowered her head, clenched her fists, and her nails dug into her palms."Natalie, there was a misunderstanding between the sisters, let's discuss it later and stop making a scene!" Robert chimed in.He said it as if Natalie and Hailey didn't get along in private and took advantage of the situation to embarrass Hailey.Natalie saw through Robert's little scheme, casually responded with a "Hmm," and said, "Let's forget about apologies, I'm used to it
Natalie wrapped herself in a towel, leaving a slit in the bathroom door as she cautiously asked, "Mr. Windsor, are you there?"Oliver felt a pang in his stomach. He held a cigarette between his fingertips, using nicotine to numb the pain. Since he went abroad, he hadn't had a proper meal, and these past two days, he had relied mostly on nutritional fluid because of Natalie.He heard her voice and saw a little head poking out from the slit in the door, with wet almond eyes darting around until they met his gaze."Mr. Windsor, there are no clothes in the bathroom."Oliver took a drag on his cigarette, his stern brows and eyes clouded in smoke. Besides that brief eye contact, it seemed as if he hadn't heard Natalie speak.Natalie pouted. If it weren't for the lack of clothes, she wouldn't have initiated a conversation with Oliver."Mr. Windsor?""Mr. Windsor...""Oliver!"Natalie was truly angered.If his previous humiliation and coercion towards her were offset by his defense and daring
Oliver's gaze fell on Natalie, not on the stage. He knew exactly what video was about to play - the one he had substituted for Victoria's during the family meeting. "Adrian, didn't I tell you that marriage is a grave? Why rush to bury yourself?" The conversation in the video echoed through the speakers."Who said I'm burying myself?" Adrian held a scantily clad model tightly in his arms and passionately kissed her. The party was wild, and Adrian, heavily intoxicated, promptly removed the model's remaining clothing and intimately leaned in for a kiss.The model playfully scolded Adrian with shyness, and the rich young men around them cheered and shouted. "A suitable partner at home is for having kids and taking care of my mother, but I can still find beautiful women outside!""Hahaha! Adrian, I thought you were deeply in love with Hailey!" The young model teased, her hand reaching below Adrian's navel. "Adrian, you're aroused!"Adrian laughed mischievously and pushed the model onto the
Natalie glanced at the stage; she didn't want to embarrass herself by hurrying up there."You..." Robert was so angry that his face turned red, but he couldn't find any words to refute her!Is it just insisting that Natalie seduced Adrian? Now Natalie has a legitimate reason to avoid suspicion!Under the half-mask, Oliver's lips curled slightly, arrogantly and proudly.Their little cat finally dared to show its claws and scratch her so-called loved ones. Not bad, some improvement!With this smile from Oliver, several female guests around him were dumbfounded.How did he become so handsome, charming, and doting! I can't even remember that just a few hours ago he was full of murderous intent!Disfigured? With this half of his intact face, he is already handsome enough, okay?!The guests were all watching the dramatic engagement ceremony in the grand hall, and there were only a few people quickly adjusting on the deck of the luxurious cruise ship."Where are we going?" Natalie asked."Ho
"No, I'm not." Oliver gently pushed her to sit on the nearby sofa, sat down beside her, and took a sip of water, making his lips look slightly redder.Natalie suddenly remembered that she hadn't cooked for Oliver in half a month. At first, it was because he suddenly went abroad, and later it was due to their conflicts.The pain in his stomach eased a bit after drinking water, but then it struck again, fierce and relentless.Oliver couldn't alleviate it even after drinking several glasses of water.Seeing his unpleasant face, Natalie couldn't help but sit beside him and gently rub his stomach with her soft hands, trying to relieve his physical pain with this method."Do you have any stomach medicine?""I don't take that stuff." He spoke with a disdainful tone.In fact, before Natalie, his stomach problem was not so apparent. It was only after discovering the taste of delicious food that he could no longer stomach tasteless dishes. He used to be able to force down some food."What shoul
"Liam said that while I'm still unfamiliar with Lady, the success rate of deception is higher," Jamie replied seriously. "...You really have inherited Uncle Liam's skills," Charles admitted with self-deprecation, giving a thumbs-up. "I suppose it won't work after a few more times." Oliver's stomach problem turned out to be more severe than Charles expected; he had developed a stomach ulcer and was receiving a drip. After the drip was finished, he would need to remain in the hospital for observation. Natalie delivered meals to the hospital on time, but always through someone else, never showing herself. On the third day, Jamie looked at her with a troubled expression. "Lady, please personally take the young master's meal inside. If you don't accompany him, he won't eat." Natalie sensed a certain tension and low pressure among the bodyguards and medical staff, indicating that the person in the ward had a bad temper. "He'll eat when he's hungry," Natalie said, seeing that Jamie d
After delivering the meal, Natalie accepted Jane's invitation and the two met at a private dessert shop in the commercial district."Jane, have you hurt your lip?" Natalie looked at Jane's lips in surprise."Huh?" Jane subconsciously touched her lips that were kissed and injured by Anthony that day. She said, "It's inflamed.""Oh.""Natalie, are you okay after falling into the sea?" Jane was shocked when she heard the news."I just swallowed a few mouthfuls of water, but it's not a big deal.""I heard Oliver went down to save you. At least he has a bit of a conscience," Jane commented.To be precise, it was Roger who saved her. Natalie touched her phone and thought of the text message Roger had sent, naturally obtaining his phone number.Seeing that Jane was in good spirits and her body had recovered, Natalie felt relieved and brought up today's topic.Today's topic: The aftermath of Adrian and Hailey's engagement farce!Although Jane's current status couldn't be considered as an elit
Oliver was equally shocked by this scene.She just went back like that?She actually listened and went back?She's never this obedient normally!Oliver was so angry that he threw his pen.After a while, he called Charles in and asked, "Where's Natalie?"As hopeless as Charles felt inside, he maintained a blank expression on his face and replied, "Lady has returned to the Rosewood Estate." It was you who told her to leave.Oliver gritted his teeth, not having been this frustrated in years.Charles continued, "Sir, the competition for 'Top Avenue' is in two days, with the second and third rounds held simultaneously. It will last for a week. Lady is going to the competition, and if you don't leave the hospital, you won't see Lady for over ten days, which practically amounts to half a month!"As Charles finished speaking, he saw the young master's face becoming even colder.In the past, Natalie would have cautiously asked if he allowed her to go, and if he was unhappy, she wouldn't have b
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
