Adrian embraced Lyra and shouted, "Get a doctor now!"
Adrian walked away immediately, leaving behind a strong declaration before departing. "The child in Lyra's womb belongs to the Harrington family. Since the Watson family can't accept it, let's call off the wedding!""Adrian!" Robert was dumbfounded. They were already engaged, and now everything was canceled just like that!Mrs. Watson trembled with anger. She thought Lyra was just a mistress. She never expected that she would become pregnant. No wonder her daughter was so infuriated!"Adrian! Do you realize that you're being used?" Hailey shouted, gripping the railing. "Lyra works for Natalie. It was Natalie who sent her to your bed! Natalie intentionally destroyed our relationship. Don't let yourself be deceived!"The information that Lyra was delivered to Adrian by Natalie was revealed to Hailey by Edwin, but she had no evidence. She couldn't expose Edwin because it would be shameful to make her own relationNatalie had long wanted to sever ties with the Watson family, but she never had the ability or opportunity. It seemed like a fair trade this time, using Hailey's imprisonment to compensate for the meager years of nurturing by the Watson family.After a few seconds, Natalie's smile faded.Cutting off ties alone wasn't enough. She couldn't be separated from Lucas."Go ahead, call your damn brother," Oliver impatiently said."Okay!" Natalie felt so thrilled, she wanted to hug Oliver.She walked to the side and dialed Lucas's phone, but it took a while for him to answer."Sis, what's up?" Lucas whispered.Natalie thought for a moment and asked, "Lucas, were you in class?"Indeed, Lucas had skipped class to answer the phone. He immediately walked further away and raised his voice, "No!""Hmm..." Natalie suddenly became somewhat afraid to discuss this matter with Lucas. She wasn't sure about his thoughts. "Lucas, I plan to cut ties with the Watson famil
"Lady, if you keep bringing up divorce, the young master will naturally get angry," Charles sighed helplessly.Natalie pursed her lips. It was indeed her fault, but she was also angry at Oliver's unreasonable behavior.Charles obviously knew what Natalie was thinking and continued, "Lady, the young master's temper is bad, he's used to being unreasonable. Please be more accommodating. Uncle Liam said the young master often acts like a child. With your gentle and generous nature, you won't argue with the young master, right?"Emily couldn't help raising an eyebrow. "Charles, you are indeed favored by Mr. Windsor. Your abilities and eloquence are top-notch. You constantly speak well for your young master!"Charles pretended not to understand the underlying sarcasm and smiled, "Miss Reed, you flatter me!"Robert, not far away, was shocked and regretful when he witnessed this scene.He was shocked that Natalie dared to interact with Oliver this way. This was not t
Natalie knew he was listening, so she continued, "Lucas didn't know me before, and he was also informed about our marriage. So he might have some misunderstandings about you and not like you, but he doesn't have ill intentions."This was an explanation about Lucas "instigating" her to seek a divorce over the phone.Oliver's fingers tightened on the tabletop as his gaze swept over. "And what about you?""Well..." Natalie pursed her lips. "Do you want to hear the truth?""Speak," Oliver said.Normally, there wouldn't be any good words when asked like this.Natalie interlocked her hands and placed them on her lap, looking out of the French windows.The dining area faced west, with a row of trees outside. In the late autumn season, the tree leaves turned yellow and fell. These different seasons somehow reflected different hearts. Such a view could be desolate yet beautiful.Natalie seemed to suddenly understand what Oliver wanted to know.What a proud
Emily quickly selected a few backup candidates for assistants, three women and one man.Natalie eliminated the male candidate immediately."Are you afraid that your boyfriend will be jealous?" Emily teased her.Natalie helplessly shrugged. "Less is more."Besides, having a female assistant is indeed much more convenient.Among the three female assistants, there was a little girl who was slightly shorter. She had a baby-face with big, bright eyes.She stared at Natalie eagerly, smiling with curved eyebrows and eyes, resembling a doll."Are you...of legal age?" Natalie couldn't help but ask her."I am!" the doll-like girl quickly replied.Emily said, "She's 16, but in France, that's considered legal.""Natalie, I'm your fan!" The girl seemed to foresee that she might be discouraged, so she immediately said, "I really like you. Don't question my abilities just because I'm young. I can not only be your assistant but also do makeup and argue. Pleas
The Rosewood EstateNatalie informed Oliver about arranging assistants and bodyguards, as this was something he "forced" Emily to do."Is it a man or a woman?" Oliver asked right away."A girl!" Natalie wanted to roll her eyes.Oliver reluctantly nodded, "Someone will come to the house in a few days, but you don't need to worry about it.""You've specifically mentioned it, how can I not worry?” Natalie thought.She asked, "Who is coming?""My cousin," Oliver said.Natalie sat up straight nervously. "Do I need to do anything? Does she have any favorite foods that I can prepare in advance?"As a capable Mrs. Windsor, it was her duty to entertain his relatives.Oliver didn't even lift an eyelid. "You don't have to bother with her."Although Oliver said it casually, Natalie was still somewhat nervous.Anyone allowed to enter the main building by Oliver was not an ordinary guest.Lilian and Sophia officially started working.On thei
"How old is your cousin?" Natalie asked.Oliver flipped over, pressing Natalie beneath him, his strong legs holding her legs tightly, preventing her from moving.He raised an eyebrow. The impatience from earlier had vanished, but powerful and inexpressible emotions surged within.It was passion."We can do something else," he said, his voice trailing off as he lowered his head and nibbled on Natalie's lips.Natalie shook her head incessantly. "No, we can't. Tomorrow, I'll meet your cousin. It won't be good if she finds out!"Oliver sealed her lips with a kiss, letting his actions speak louder than words.Although Oliver didn't exert himself that much last night, there were still quite a few marks on her body.The next day, Natalie yawned as she picked out her clothes. Thankfully, it was late autumn, and there were plenty of high-collared clothes to cover up properly."She understands, so why bother covering up?" Oliver rested one leg on the door f
Lilian investigated this Watson family daughter through various means, and all she found were negative opinions. This negative image in her mind was much deeper than her idol Natalie's.Her idol and the detestable sister-in-law turned out to be the same person. It was simply unbearable!Natalie held the pineapple pie in her hands and took a step forward."Don't come over here!" Lilian pointed at Natalie as if she was a source of plague, as if she was facing a formidable enemy.Natalie paused. Her expression was indifferent, and her heart felt numb.She had never thought that she could satisfy Oliver's family members, but she also never expected it to be so terrible. What made it even worse was that this person was Lilian, her assistant."I told you not to come over here! I don't want to be with you! Natalie, you deceived me!" Lilian pouted, tears welled up in her eyes. Coupled with her doll-like face, she looked even more like a middle school student.Whe
A restrained smile appeared in her eyes.Lilian keenly noticed that her picky cousin had actually touched the three dishes in front of him—stewed chicken soup, lasagna, and pan-seared salmon. They didn't seem as exquisite and elegant as the other dishes.Could it be that those unattractive dishes tasted better?It must be, otherwise how did her cousin, who had anorexia, enjoy them so much?Lilian's fork was about to reach out when Oliver knocked it away."Natalie made this,” Oliver said with a calm expression.In other words, she couldn't eat it."But... Whatever. It doesn't seem very delicious anyway. I don't care!" Lilian was feeling down and reluctantly ate other dishes, but every time she saw her cousin pick up his fork to eat the dishes made by Natalie, her eyes couldn't help but look over uncontrollably.Who knows, maybe those dishes are really delicious?Lilian finally experienced the saying "the grass is always greener on the other side.”
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
