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
Natalie, usually gentle and charming, exuded a coldness that matched Jane's, leaving Blake momentarily stunned.Blake glanced at Jane and said, "Out of goodwill from our old days, I can recommend a third-tier male model...""No need, just get out!" Natalie coldly pointed in Maria's direction. "Blake, having ambition is human nature, but lacking a conscience is a different matter. My male model situation is none of your concern. Using the models you recommend would taint Jane's eyes!""Know your place!" Blake swiftly walked towards Maria's dressing room to do the styling.Lyra, who had been watching nearby, approached with a smile. "Natalie, I know you look down on women like me. Soon enough, you'll realize that your pride is worthless. In this society, only power and influence matter! For example, you're already out of the competition before it even begins!"Besides Maria and Hailey, Lyra was the only one who managed to secure a top-tier male model. She believed she could come out on
