But how many women dare to really use their own lives to threaten their opponents?
Because of that turn, Jane stayed in the hospital for several days before recovering. There was a scar on her forehead, but fortunately, it wasn't very noticeable.The pain and suffering Anthony brought to Jane were far more than just the night of The Watkins' overthrow two years ago, or Jovan turning from a talented person to a half-dead vegetable.There was also the malice that came from all directions in life, unpredictable and unstoppable!Natalie truly felt sorry for Jane.The apartment door closed with a click.The empty house was left with only her, and no matter how much she cried, no one would know.Jane curled up on the sofa with her knees hugged, wanting to wrap herself up and never stick her head out.She had only shown this fragile and powerless side to two people - her dependent older brother and Anthony she truly trusted.But now she couldn't rely onSighing, she settled the score with him, "Natalie, no one cooks for me, so I'll be grateful as long as I don't starve.""You never starved before you knew me," Natalie silently retorted. However, since he had come to pick her up, she didn't scold him. Instead, with a good temper, she said, "Then let's go to the supermarket later. We can buy whatever you want to eat, and I'll cook it for you at home.""Natalie, you want me to go grocery shopping?" He frowned again."Yes but I will buy, not you," she thought. Can't tarnish your image as a bossy CEO!At the Rosewood Estate, ingredients were always abundant and fresh. However, they might not always have what Oliver liked to eat. Although Natalie usually cooked whatever he ate, she knew that he rarely touched the dishes he didn't like. It was better for her to go grocery shopping alone to ensure she could buy things he would be satisfied with.But Natalie didn't enjoy shopping alone. It was both boring and tiring
"Hurry up and buy!" Oliver didn't even turn his head to look at it, expressing his dislike for the fresh products section, but he still followed Natalie.Natalie wore plastic gloves as she picked up chicken wings. While doing so, she accidentally got bumped by someone passing by, causing the tray to slide. Oliver reached out with one hand and pulled it closer, pushing the cart behind Natalie.Jamie was dumbfounded, what did he just witness? The young master pushing a supermarket cart?! It was unbelievable!Natalie also realized halfway through her picking that Oliver had been pushing the shopping cart alongside her all this time. Half his face was hidden under the gentleman's hat, but it couldn't conceal his remarkable charisma. This semi-concealed and semi-revealed feeling made him even more eye-catching and captivating.Dressed in a formal shirt, he pushed the cart and strolled through the supermarket, showing no sense of incongruity. Instead, it emitted a strong s
Natalie's ears turned hot. "You can choose, I'll pay for it on your behalf."She didn't want to pick something like this for him!And she wanted to pick something she liked!Oliver hugged her and forcefully led her inside."Sir, ma'am, what can I get you?" The waiter immediately approached with a smile. The way this couple was dressed made it clear they were extremely wealthy!Oliver glanced at the waiter and said, "My wife will pick."The waiter smiled apologetically. "I apologize, but your wife looks very young! If you tell me what type of clothes you'd like, I can make some recommendations."Natalie couldn't blame the waiter. She did look very young. Apart from necessary occasions, she rarely wore makeup and her natural, eighteen-year-old appearance was more than obvious.Now that they were inside the store and the waiter had said that, could Natalie still walk out?Natalie glared at him discreetly and whispered, "You choose for yourself!"
As for her liking Oliver? Impossible!She wasn't so self-deluded as to seek trouble!"You!" Lyra gritted her teeth, angered by Natalie's arrogant attitude.She controlled her emotions and got back to the point. "Natalie, I'm pregnant with Adrian's child. It's been a month.""What?!" Natalie was shocked. "That night?""Yes, that night. I was lucky," Lyra proudly said. "This outfit, the nanny who was with me just now, and my current expenses—all are being given by the Harrington family."Prominent families prioritize heirs, and strict rules prevent them from having illegitimate children. But the Harrington family is apparently an exception. Both Adrian and Victoria value heirs and look down on women."Congratulations." After the initial shock wore off, Natalie regained her composure.What does her pregnancy have to do with her?Lyra was choked with anger. She had thought that Natalie would try to please her and be more amiable toward her. After all,
Natalie prepared a sumptuous dinner.Oliver ate a lot. This was the most satisfying meal he had had this month.After finishing their meal, he immediately pulled Natalie upstairs.As soon as they entered the room, he pressed her against the door and kissed her passionately.The room was still dark, with only the soft light from the streetlamp outside seeping in through the gaps in the curtains, casting their shadows.In the hazy light, the man whispered, "Natalie, make me happy."Natalie pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, then tilted her head up and kissed him proactively.She had never taken the initiative. Just by Oliver's unresponsiveness, she could tell how terrible her kissing skills were.Natalie felt a little discouraged and defeated.Just as she was about to put her raised heels down, Oliver tightened his grip on her slender waist. "Continue, my dear."He squeezed it a few times, feeling its familiar softness.Natalie could s
All these rumors stemmed from the fact that Emily and Joseph were once widely regarded as soulmates in the industry, but they went their separate ways a year ago, leaving room for speculation. Although Natalie was curious, she never asked Emily about it. After all, it was someone else's personal relationship. As for matters of the heart, she had her own to deal with.The one-month training camp in Milan was not in vain. Natalie had improved a lot during this month. Emily planned to have Natalie walk the runway next month. Currently, working with this mid-level magazine was just a stepping stone, with the aim to eventually participate in high-end fashion shows.Just as they left the studio, a woman suddenly shouted and rushed toward them, yelling, "Natalie, you shameless woman!"Natalie was walking upstairs, with Emily following closely behind. She couldn't dodge in time and was grabbed by the hair by the woman rushing toward her. It was then that she could clea
Mrs. Watson initially thought that she would have to spend a fortune to rescue her daughter. She never expected that Natalie would be the troublemaker. Anger flushed her face. "Natalie, you ungrateful wretch! The Watson family raised you for over ten years, and now you're plotting against your sister!? Are you jealous of Hailey? Or do you just want to eliminate her as a competitor? Tell me! Speak up, you ungrateful girl!"The officers had initially worn curious expressions as they wondered why a family would become embroiled in a life and death struggle. Little did they know it was another hidden secret of a wealthy family!Mrs. Watson was furious and about to strike Natalie. Although Natalie hadn't learned any martial arts or self-defense, she knew a thing or two about handling Mrs. Watson.This middle-aged woman, who had been pampered for many years, was clearly confident. Just as she was about to make her move, Emily stepped in front of her. Emily's aur
Natalie had always been independent. She rarely relied on others to protect her."What are you thinking?" Oliver's sharp senses immediately detected Natalie's cautious gaze.He pinched her delicate chin and gently shook it. This seemingly flirtatious gesture completely changed its meaning when done by him; it was a natural display of indulgence.He asked her, "What are you thinking?""Natalie! You need to listen to me!" Robert urged anxiously.Robert had invested so much of his life's efforts into Hailey. He hoped she would marry into a top-notch wealthy family in order to improve the Watson family's influence and his own social status. Seeing that his long-held hope for his daughter was about to be ruined, how could he not be anxious?Intentionally causing harm and attempting murder, these were crimes that would lead to imprisonment!If it was an ordinary person without power or influence, he could easily handle it with some money. But it was Natalie, an
