"It's impossible..." Natalie was still trying to figure out why he hadn't received it.Robert asked suspiciously, "Natalie, who is this? Aren't you going to introduce him?" Considering Oliver's high-end attire and the limited-edition Patek Philippe watch on his wrist, Robert spoke with a polite attitude, tinged with a hint of flattery.Whether Natalie was loyal to Oliver or not, Robert didn't care in the slightest. If Natalie could "befriend" a man who was more useful to the Watson family, he would be more than happy for her to be disloyal!Natalie didn't know how to introduce Oliver's identity and looked to him for help.Introduce him?Was there any need to introduce or explain to this scumbag of a father?Absolutely not."You should be content that your discarded daughter has no further requests," Oliver said, leading Natalie away while holding her hand.Robert's face turned ugly for a moment,Indeed, Natalie was his abandoned child. But who could have imagined that this abandoned
In that moment of eye contact, Oliver saw fear in her clear, watery eyes. That night. But his attitude towards her, even then, could be described as rough. Oliver felt a pang of heartache as he gently lifted the woman's soft body onto his legs, resting his chin on Natalie's shoulder. His handsome face tilted slightly, rubbing against her neck, and between his breaths, he could smell the rose-scented shampoo intertwined with her unique scent. Her scent carried a faint, milky fragrance. Oliver suddenly wondered if this pleasant aroma would become even more intense once Natalie bore his child. "Darling, don't be scared. Let me hold you," Oliver whispered softly, knowing she wasn't willing to accept it at the moment. Natalie's body showed no signs of relaxation, indicating that Oliver's words lacked credibility. "You used to break your promises before." The woman's voice sounded aggrieved, as if she had suffered unimaginable grievances and was whispering her complaints softly. Olive
Lucas belonged to a world-renowned and secretive weapons organization that specialized in researching, manufacturing, and selling high-end weapons to the world at exorbitant prices. Lucas was now a key figure within this organization.Within the organization, Lucas was the one who called the shots."Sis, why did you suddenly come here?" Lucas gave the attending physician a satisfied look, jumped off the bed, and clung to Natalie's arm, acting spoiled. "I can leave the hospital very soon!"This wolf-like dog instantly turned into a cute little puppy in front of Miss Watson and even acted spoiled!Damn it, it's too much!Natalie's body stiffened. It was a good thing that Lucas would be discharged, but once he left the hospital, it would be impossible to hide the fact that he moved into the Rosewood Estate. How would she explain it to him then?"Lucas, I have to attend the finals of Top Avenue tomorrow and won't be at home for some time. How about you stay in the hospital for a few more
Of course, before that, she wouldn't let go of Adrian as a backup for now!After a round of elimination, the remaining twelve contestants of "Top Avenue" were all models with real talent.In light of the unprecedented popularity of "Top Avenue," the organizers decided to innovate this competition. The second and third rounds of the competition would be combined and incorporate elements of variety shows, featuring filming and editing of the contestants' daily lives.At this point, the online voting had already concluded.Due to the wave of attention caused by her engagement, Hailey gained tremendous popularity with various interests intermingling, ultimately securing the top spot. Natalie came in second place, and Maria fell to fifth.Maria initially had a fan base and good company management, but due to her actions against Natalie, she infuriated a large number of netizens, resulting in an onslaught of insults that allowed Natalie's votes to soar.Natalie, this once obscure model, had
"Miss Watson, you really are cunning. You said you didn't care about winning the championship, but then you go and create a stir online and get the popularity champion!" Maria spoke with even more confidence, now that Hailey had taken the initiative to approach her.In this season's "Top Avenue" finals, a point system was used, and the points started accumulating from the online voting in this round.In the second and third rounds of the competition, points will be awarded, and the one with the highest total score will be crowned the champion. Meanwhile, the champion of online popularity in this round can gain 1000 points, which is a significant lead and advantage. "Maria, you misunderstood me!" Hailey innocently said, "The engagement announcement was proposed by the Harrington family. The Watson family and the Harrington family are completely incomparable, and I have no control over it." Maria felt there was some truth to it and looked at Hailey skeptically, "Really?" "Of course!
Even a bastard like Natalie can join a prestigious family, so there is no doubt she would become a servant once she goes in!Nightfall.The contestants returned to their rooms.Just as Natalie had laid down, her phone suddenly vibrated, and she received a text message from Oliver: "Open the window."Startled, Natalie jumped out of bed and ran over to open the window.Oliver balanced one foot on the rain gutter and the other on a protrusion on the outer wall, clinging to the edge of the windowsill with his hands, still looking handsome."Oliver, have you gone mad? This is the second floor! What if you fall?!" Natalie quickly pulled him inside.Fall? Oliver had been involved in extreme sports like rock climbing since he was in his teens. He didn't need her help and effortlessly climbed in. Seeing Natalie's worried look, his fatigue from dealing with official matters all day vanished."You called me for something?" Natalie poured a glass of warm water for Oliver.After taking a sip and
On the engagement video, he noticed the astonishing beauty of her slim waist. Natalie closed the wardrobe and was about to turn around when she felt a force on her lower back. She lunged forward, her lips being covered by the man's strong arm, shielding her from the impact of the door. Oliver's actions were too quick, leaving Natalie defenseless. She turned her head awkwardly to see, and the man had already left a red mark on her waist. "Oliver, you...!" Such a gesture was even more embarrassing than a kiss. Natalie's eyes turned red with anger, as if she wanted to kick him. It was at this angle! At the angle he was bending down now, she could kick him in the face perfectly! Unfortunately, she didn't dare. "That man just now..." Oliver spoke softly. "Ah! I told you there's nothing between me and him!" Natalie shouted, feeling somewhat guilty. Oliver was quite satisfied with the strawberry mark on her waist, so he straightened himself up. Releasing his hold on her, Natalie quick
A sly smile crept across Oliver's lips as he asked the criminal on the ground, "From the Windsor family, right?"Both criminals were shocked. It seemed Oliver had guessed right."Who from the Windsor family?" Oliver continued his inquiry with a chilling tone.The cunning criminal attempted to deceive at first, but under Oliver's ruthless stomp, he could only truthfully say, "Victoria! It's Miss Victoria of the Windsor family!"How dare she harm Natalie!Oliver dragged one of them and walked to the edge of the bed, throwing them down, waiting for the bodyguards to take them away in a while."You won't kill them like this, right?" Natalie ran over to see and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good!"Fortunately, it was a flower bed underneath. The two criminals writhed in pain, unable to speak, their faces contorted in agony within the soil.Killing someone was illegal, and even self-defense could be excessive.Natalie remembered what the criminals had said earlier.Not being respected
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
