Emily walked over, extended her right hand, and smiled lightly, "Miss Watson, would you like to work with me?""Of course!" Natalie was overjoyed.Finding someone in the fashion industry who could understand and agree with her decision to put aside the competition for her younger brother was rare. Finding such an agent with aligned values was incredibly hard.The next hour was spent discussing the specifics of the contract.HHY's lawyer handed over two copies of the contract.Oliver quickly skimmed through it, going through the dozens of pages in less than a minute."Five points," he said, placing his fingertip on the contract cover, his tone as defiant as ever. "First, no involvement in scandalous stories; second, no shady dealings; third, apart from modeling-related work, she has absolute freedom; fourth, Natalie has the absolute right to choose her jobs; fifth, to be determined."Demanding this much was one thing, but still keeping the fifth point undecided? That was too much!HHY'
Some people sighed at Natalie's unexpected rise to fame, about to soar to the top; others joked that Emily must have bad taste, choosing a young model who had only walked on the runway twice instead of the many top-tier talents available.No matter what people said or thought, there was no denying that leaving the finals of "Top Avenue" had no adverse effects on Natalie.Once she entered HHY Fashion Company, the springboard that "Top Avenue" provided became useless!Lucas's physical condition stabilized.Natalie asked him, "Lucas, do you want to go back to school?"Lucas didn't want to. He felt a guilty conscience about studying and taking exams with ordinary high school students, a guilt he couldn't express.Lucas was about to shake his head and come up with an excuse when Oliver said, "Of course high school students should go to school."Oliver miraculously spoke more than usual, looking at the bald-headed Lucas and said, "If not school, then work."Lucas thought to himself, he coul
Natalie looks at Oliver. The man's thin lips move beneath the mask, "Hmm, my wife, Natalie.""Mrs. Windsor is even more beautiful in person than in the photos!"Other people see Oliver and come to interact with him one after another. It was practically an open secret in the circle how arrogant Oliver was and how fearful Windsor family and Harrington family people were at Adrian and Hailey's engagement banquet.With everyone trying to please Oliver, naturally there were many who wanted to gain his favor. After all, even if Oliver was a paper tiger, who wouldn't last long, Windsor family wouldn't find any faults with individual families.When Adrian and Hailey get off the car, they happen to see a group of people surrounded Oliver and Natalie was surrounded by a crowd of people, speaking in hushed voices. Even with a mask on, Oliver couldn't conceal his indifference and impatience. Natalie, on the other hand, maintained a constant smile, blending Oliver's intimidating presence with jus
"Adrian, even if Oliver is disfigured and has no real power in the family, how can he compare to you? Besides, we've known each other for so long, and our feelings for each other, can any other man match that? Don't overthink it!"Adrian's complexion slightly improved. He wasn't really in love with Hailey, but knowing Hailey genuinely liked him pleased him.In fact, Adrian had been growing more and more displeased with Hailey. But with Hailey as a free bed partner, good figure, pleasing skills, and attractive looks, he could reluctantly get by for the time being."And you should stop bothering Natalie. She's your sister, kind-hearted, and it wouldn't look good if others found out.""I...I haven't been causing her any trouble. Nothing happened.", Hailey's face looked unnatural."You know whether you did or not. Don't think others are fools and can't see through everything!" Adrian hinted that he had noticed things before but didn't mention them because of his lingering affections for H
Above is the blue sky and white clouds, below are the green waters and mountains. On the lawn, beautiful women singing and dancing, even attracting the attention of men who are gradually gathering to watch. However, Hailey's expression became increasingly unpleasant. She originally wanted to embarrass Natalie, but she didn't expect that the wretched woman would have such good luck, not drawing a single low card. During halftime, Hailey pulled the card dealer aside, took off her wristwatch, and handed it to him. "Later, give the lady in the third seat over there a few low cards. She wants to perform." The card dealer looked at Hailey suspiciously, then looked at the watch worth five figures in his hand. He nodded and agreed. Natalie thought she could just pass by as a background today, but unexpectedly, she drew an ace, just one point! Coincidentally, the other person being punished was Hailey! "Natalie, what a coincidence," Hailey said triumphantly. The men couldn't help but ch
Natalie was dressed in a white equestrian uniform with matching protective gear. Behind her stood a magnificent chestnut horse, exuding an extraordinary presence.Noah laughed, "Natalie, you can actually ride horses? I've never seen you enter a horse arena or take equestrian lessons before. Don't tell me you think you can ride horses just because you rode a donkey before returning to the Watson family?"Noah's mockery and insults were not concealed, and some people couldn't help but laugh."Noah!" Adrian scolded his sister publicly for the second time."Brother, did I say something wrong? Natalie, a bastard daughter, wasn't even qualified to enter the horse arena when Hailey was learning to ride. What else could she be doing besides fooling people with a horse?" Noah snorted.Oliver narrowed his eyes, twirling his wristwatch with his right hand, his expression darkening.The people around them...The gentleman immediately felt the pressure around him decrease, as if a dark cloud had l
A group of wealthy heirs, who weren't afraid of trouble but feared having nothing to watch, applaud and laugh.Since it was an internal conflict between two families, they weren't afraid even if it led to fatalities. After all, they were just here for the show!"Oliver!" Natalie hastily dismounted and ran over, hugging Oliver's arm with concern. She looked at him anxiously and asked, "What do you think you're doing?"Regardless of what the people around said or did, Oliver remained unfazed.It was only when Natalie approached that he finally spared a glance, cocking a lazy smile as he said, "I think my niece's tongue can't speak human language. I want to rip it out.""Wow!" The crowd cheered again, their eyes full of excitement."...Uncle..." Noah's tears instantly welled up. Crying and shaking her head, she tried to speak but couldn't articulate her words. Tears smudged her makeup, leaving two streaks on her face. Her lower eyelids were stained by the mascara and eyeliner that had sm
"Noah, you don't have to leave actually. It's not necessary for you to go this time. The gathering tonight..." Conflicting emotions flickered in Adrian's eyes as he tried to persuade her.Noah interrupted him, her voice filled with determination, "No, Adrian, I can't stay. I don't want to see Oliver and Natalie anymore. I should have learned my lesson on the cruise ship. It's better for me to leave."Adrian sighed, knowing that Noah's decision was final. He held her hand and led her towards the pier, wiping away her tears. The staff had already prepared a car and a boat to escort her.As they walked, Noah couldn't help but cast a worried glance at Oliver. However, Oliver seemed indifferent and paid no attention to her. It was clear that her destiny now hinged solely on Natalie's words and attitude.Noah never would have imagined that one day Oliver would dote on a woman like this."Alright!" Noah exclaimed with tears streaming down her face as she stood up with Adrian's support. She w
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
