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 was finally satisfied and took a few bites himself before feeding Natalie another bite.This suite had the best view in the entire estate. Standing in front of the 270-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, one could overlook the scenery of the entire estate and the night view of the distant coast.Oliver changed his outfit from suit to a loose bathrobe. When he came out, he happened to see Natalie looking out the window. Her gaze was towards the glass pavilion where the ball was being held today. Faintly visible from here were the dazzling lights and the figures of people.He then returned to the bedroom and only came out a while later."Natalie," Oliver called."Hmm?" Natalie turned her head and saw Oliver adjusting the vintage gramophone in the living room. The melodious and elegant tune flowed smoothly from the gramophone as his slender fingers made a few simple adjustments.It was the famous waltz "The Blue Danube".Natalie looked at him in confusion, "What are you tryi
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief, pulled up her clothes reluctantly to cover herself, and tentatively asked, "You're the best?"Oliver shook his head."I want to take a bath?" Natalie asked.Oliver continued shaking his head.Natalie thought about her nutrition-less and content-less words from earlier, and the only thing left was the way she addressed him. "Oliver?"The woman looked sincerely anxious, extremely doubtful, and adorable to the extreme.Oliver held Natalie's chin and couldn't help but nibble on her lips. "No.""...Darling?""Good girl.""Ah!" Before Natalie could finish her sentence, Oliver picked her up and walked towards the bathroom, informing her with actions, "You finally got it right!""You go out, I'll wash by myself." Natalie extended her hand to push him away.Oliver prepared the water and stepped into the extra-large bathtub that could accommodate four or five people, saying, "Let's wash together."The night was still long.On the other side, at the ballroom. H
"Good morning, Natalie!" Isaac and Wyatt stood up, smiling mischievously.At this time, Natalie truly realized"I can't say 'morning'."Isaac guessed Natalie's thoughts and smirked, saying, "Natalie, Wyatt and I have something to discuss with brother. We'll be here at eight o'clock, but who would've thought that brother, who usually gets up and showers on time, hasn't left the room today? You guys must have just woken up, so isn't it more appropriate to say 'morning' instead?" She could tell that this guy was intentionally teasing her!Of course, Isaac could guess the reason why brother and his sister-in-law woke up late; he wanted to intentionally playfully provoke his thin-skinned sister-in-law.Wyatt beside him also smiled and said nothing, enjoying the spectacle."He's in the room, just go." Natalie said goodbye to them both as soon as the elevator arrived and went inside.The scenery in the estate was beautiful, and with good lighting today, Natalie casually took a few pictures
Although Susan's manuscripts were not that great, her beauty and renowned talent did not hinder these rich second-generation individuals from spending millions of dollars on something beautiful."Six million dollars!""Six million three hundred thousand dollars!""Seven million dollars!""Fifty million dollars!"Suddenly, a male voice shocked the entire room.All the gazes turned towards the source.Natalie looked at Oliver next to her in astonishment.With a calm demeanor, Oliver lowered his paddle. His expressions were cold and merciless, his gaze as indifferent as ever. He looked at the high-definition images of the manuscript on the screen as if he had carefully considered the astronomical figure he just bid, rather than casually playing around.The paintings on the manuscript were far from mature, and upon closer inspection, there were even flaws in the aesthetics of the human body. These manuscripts were previously rejected publicly. To put it bluntly, they were worthless, yet O
With just a glance, Natalie inexplicably disliked this woman.Could it be because of Hailey's words?If that was the case, then her heart was indeed a bit dark.The sound of water in the bathroom ceased.Natalie quickly turned off her phone and pretended to continue sleeping under the covers.There was a faint halo in the bedroom.Oliver hadn't come to bed yet, and Natalie was unsure whether he was still reading the manuscript or dealing with official matters.She forced herself to clear her mind and fall asleep as soon as possible.This feeling made her uneasy, reminding her of the unreasonable forcefulness she had faced from Oliver over a month ago, when she had prepared to open up to him.And now the situation was even worse, as her emotions were already spiraling out of control.On the other side, the auction manager made an international call, saying, "Susan, your manuscript was won by Mr. Windsor, and it fetched a high price of fifty million dollars! Congratulations!"Susan smil
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
