She knew he could be domineering. "Mr. Wild saved me, and he has helped me..."Natalie's words were cut off by Oliver's interruption."I owe him a favor, so I've repaid it on your behalf. You will see him less in the future.""Why?" Natalie's face turned cold. She had her beliefs and her own way of dealing with people, and he shouldn't restrict her social interactions.However, this reaction, in Oliver's eyes, was particularly irritating."Oh, now you're unhappy? It's clear that your relationship is extraordinary," Oliver retorted, swallowing the genuine reasons he had on the tip of his tongue. He continued to speak in his usual arrogant and domineering manner."Why? Because that man has ill intentions towards you, he has been eyeing you for a long time!" Natalie took a deep breath, trying to reason with him. "You are my husband, but you have no right to restrict my friendships. Mr. Wild is my friend, and besides him, I have other male friends, both in the past and in the future. Ther
Oliver was still angry. So, with a cold expression, he watched as she struggled to catch her breath. He had indeed been too impulsive just now. Natalie saw Oliver's tantalizingly moist and ambiguous thin lips. There was a good chance that she didn't look any better, so she wiped her mouth with her hand, afraid that Oliver might develop certain thoughts while gazing at her. It wasn't that she was being self-obsessed, but rather that she didn't trust Oliver. This action completely irritated Oliver, becoming the trigger for his anger. "Do you disdain me?" he angrily replied. Disdain him again!Oliver's cold and ruthless gaze fell on Natalie's dress collar, and within a second, a series of actions flashed through his mind: tearing her clothes apart! One second later, he abruptly let go of her and slammed the door behind him, completely ignoring whether there were people outside or not, as he walked away directly.Natalie was still contemplating the inexplicable words "disdain me" when s
However, his stunning side profile alone was enough to excite countless netizens, especially considering Oliver's natural air of strength and the current fascination with aristocratic temperament.It's impossible to ignore someone like him.For the production team to not give him any screen time is definitely an act of suppression by those in power!So, this representative from the RK Group is here to support Natalie as well?The final conclusion was unexpected: "So, the question arises, how many patrons does Natalie actually have?""How many benefactors are there in the end?" Natalie rolled her eyes when she saw these contents, feeling a bit guilty. She could probably understand Oliver's anger. But he shouldn't have judged her without listening to her explanation, let alone restrict her social circle! Is it ancient times where you can't be friends with the opposite sex?! Not only online, even the organizing committee for the competition was restless. When Natalie went out of the room
After a moment of silence, there was no response from the other end of the phone.Natalie was confused. "Mr. Wild?""Okay, I'll post the statement soon." Roger's indifferent tone made Natalie feel strange. When she recalled their first meeting at the hospital, his attitude towards her now was quite different. "Mr. Wild, I want to ask you something.""Yes, ask away.""Do I resemble someone from your past? Is that why you became friends with me?" Natalie had originally wanted to say, "Is that why you are so good to me?" She could sense that Roger's tolerance towards her exceeded what one would expect from a friend of just over a month.Roger didn't seem like an enthusiastic person when it came to making friends."Yes, you do resemble her." After a pause, Roger added, "But I can distinguish that you are you."This meant that he genuinely wanted to be her friend.Natalie smiled contently, saying, "I'm honored." Her laughter, clear as a bell, reached Roger's ears through the phone.They
The chief director knew exactly what these people were thinking. They were afraid that their competitors might gain an advantage with the show clothes."It's a common occurrence in competitions," he continued, "These show costumes have information about the designers. Natalie's costume is quite special, it's created by an overseas designer named Wine. She wants to keep her identity a secret, so there's no information about her on the costume."Wine had never heard of such a character in the fashion industry. He was probably just a somewhat talented newcomer.As Hailey looked at Natalie's three costumes again, she suddenly felt that they were just average and not particularly beautiful. The awe-inspiring effect earlier was probably due to the color.On the runway, very few people dared to use a bright red color like this. Most of them were poorly made, with only a few that looked good, which were considered top-notch creations. How could an unknown little designer possibly come up with
Wearing a royal blue floral-themed gown, Hailey leaned towards Natalie and smiled softly, "Natalie, did something happen to Lucas?"Natalie looked at her, her shocked eyes filled with coldness.Hailey didn't hide anything and said, "You guessed it right. Your brother suddenly went crazy probably because of a call I made. I told him you got married and married Oliver instead of me!""You despicable person!"In order to win this competition and eliminate her, Hailey actually used Lucas, regardless of his well-being!Lucas was also Hailey's own brother!Natalie immediately took off the ornament from her hair and dashed out, as if she had gone mad."Number 9! Natalie! Where are you going?! It's your turn on stage!" The show director's heartbreaking voice echoed, loud enough for the entire backstage to hear.However, Natalie completely ignored the director's words and kept running outside, as if she hadn't heard a thing."Should I go instead? Natalie is so spoiled, there's nothing we can d
The metered taxi fare had skyrocketed to over two hundred dollars.The driver glanced at the passenger in the backseat, noticing her attire. She didn't bring a bag, her dress had no pockets, and she didn't have a mobile phone... How was she going to pay him?"How about you get off up ahead? I still need to do business," the driver suggested sympathetically, not wanting to ask her for the fare. However, he couldn't continue to provide her with free rides, or else he'd be at a loss!Natalie paused for several seconds, finally understanding the driver's intention. She took off the platinum bracelet on her wrist and handed it to the driver. "This bracelet is made of platinum, and the diamond is real. Can I use it to pay for the fare? And could you take me to another place?"The driver inspected the bracelet, sighing as he couldn't tell if it was real or fake. "Fine, this will be the last stop. Where to?""The Rosewood Estate."The Rosewood Estate belonged to the top-tier prestigious Mr. W
Oliver couldn't quite explain the feeling in his heart. It felt like cotton was blocking his chest, filled with nothing but jealousy that kept fermenting. It seemed as though there were countless tiny needles inside, dipped in poison, pricking him with a pain that left him breathless.Thousands of words got stuck in his throat, but it was as if not a single sentence could come out."If you don't let go of him, how can I save him?! I'm not a doctor, how can I save him?!"Upon hearing this, Charles instructed two guards to support Lucas.By now, the guards were so terrified that they couldn't utter a word. They had no idea this young boy was Lady's brother, let alone his background. Just a moment ago, they couldn't even see his face properly due to the rain and darkness. They didn't recognize her. Is that Lady? Wasn't she going to participate in a competition? Why did she suddenly come back?!Natalie sighed with relief and collapsed in Oliver's arms, completely drained.Oliver put her i
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
