Having served Oliver for so many years, Arvin had never seen Oliver show any vulnerabilities before.
Natalie had delicate features and good skin, so she didn't need much makeup. Arvin just outlined her features slightly and matched it with a dress in a coordinating color.After finishing the phone call, Oliver returned while Natalie was already prepared.It was an enchanting gown, and Natalie looked like a beauty stepping out of a painting, nothing short of breathtaking.With only a silver diamond-studded ribbon as a hair accessory, she exuded beauty and elegance.Oliver's gaze lingered on Natalie for several seconds before casually nodding, "Let's go."Arvin suppressed a smile. He knew Mr. Windsor would definitely be pleased!For other women, it would already be good enough if Mr. Windsor spared them even half a glance!At the same time, Natalie discreetly observed Oliver.He was dressed in a black suit today, and upon close inspection, one couldAlthough Natalie's deductions were not fully mature or comprehensive, they were entirely correct. Pausing for a moment, Natalie looked up and assessed Oliver. "Please, go on," Oliver encouraged her.Natalie breathed a sigh of relief, knowing she hadn't said anything wrong. "Actually, I'm almost finished. The last point is that although the Windsor Group is your family's, your father may not necessarily hand over this lucrative opportunity to you, so there is no need to pay him any attention. Um... that's all, really. I was just rambling.""Not bad," Oliver complimented as Natalie settled onto his lap. "Where did you learn all this?" His woman was indeed intelligent! Oliver leaned in and planted a kiss on Natalie's lips. "I picked up some things when I used to do part-time translation work," Natalie replied. She had earned some money as a translator for a large corporation, which provided her with exposure to certain industry information. Coupled with her
"Did you see that? The woman in the red dress up ahead is Adrian's new woman, carrying the Harrington family's child!""It's the fault of the Harrington family. There is no need to break off the engagement just because there's a woman outside who got pregnant. In the end, it's just because they look down on Hailey's reputation. Adrian himself isn't any better.""I heard that Hailey couldn't bear it and almost caused that mistress to have a miscarriage. And Hailey almost killed someone!""Kill someone? Who?""I'm not sure, it's just something I heard.""Edwin, what are you doing?!" Henry's face turned ugly. He hadn't paid much attention to his second son's potential companions, but he never expected him to bring Hailey back!"Dad, I brought her here just out of pity for Miss Watson. She wanted to meet..." Edwin explained, glancing at Adrian.Adrian and Victoria looked extremely displeased."Adrian, I haven't done anything wrong. Why don't you want me a
Oliver appeared relaxed, but in reality, his nerves were strained. Natalie was truly afraid that Henry would say something disgusting and provoke Oliver to pull out his gun and shoot Henry the next second.Such a thing couldn't be done in front of so many people.Oliver continued to look at Henry. At the same time, he flipped his wrist and held Natalie's soft hand in his palm, providing her with enough comfort. "Father, the lives taken by this knife are more than one, and they are all related to you. Do you remember? If you've become too old to remember, let me remind you.""Shut up! I don't want you to remind me! Shut up!" Henry's eyes widened in anger, devoid of any grace.The guests were startled. Henry looked like a madman in this state.The more he acted like this, the more it indicated that there was a problem.When Hillary passed away, it was announced to the public that she died of illness. Less than a month after Hillary's death, Victoria's moth
If the guests hadn't left yet, she couldn't go down to the kitchen."Natalie, I didn't hear clearly." Oliver lay flat on his back and motioned for Natalie to come closer.Natalie didn't suspect anything. After all, he had drunk too much.Natalie went around to the other side of the bed, knelt on the edge of the bed with one knee, leaned down, and patiently repeated, "I said, do you need me to go and make... mmm!"Oliver suddenly held both sides of Natalie's face, his body straightened slightly, and he adjusted his position before kissing her cherry lips.This position was extremely awkward.Natalie couldn't hold herself up and slumped to the oversized bed on her side.Oliver turned over, bringing Natalie along to one side, pressing her in his embrace, and kissed her.Thirty minutes later"Oliver, you're fine! You're not drunk, you're playing with me!" Natalie gasped for breath, partially from being kissed and partially from being angered.This person actually pretended to be drunk!Lo
Oliver's mood improved significantly. He rolled up the blanket and said, "Let's sleep. I'll take you to meet my mother tomorrow."Even though Hillary was foolishly infatuated, she was still someone Oliver held dear and cared about.The appearance of the dagger at Henry's banquet caused a lot of discussion among the guests."My friends, my friends! I apologize deeply. It was my son's prank. He has always misunderstood me as a father. Please continue enjoying yourselves!" Henry didn't want his own banquet to end in failure like Adrian's engagement banquet, so he forced the celebration to go on.The prominent figures in the circle were all astute individuals. They smiled and agreed, but secretly started discussing the cause of Hillary's death.Henry instructed his confidant to oversee the banquet and gave Edwin and Victoria a meaningful look as he walked toward the study on the second floor. Edwin and Victoria silently followed.As soon as the Windsor family left, many people's gazes sta
Victoria's head struck the sharp protrusion on the wooden floor, and blood flowed from the back of her head. Her body convulsed twice before becoming motionless. "Ah!" Hailey let out a brief scream and quickly covered her mouth, but it was too late. Edwin turned his head upon hearing the sound. In that instant, Hailey felt as if she had seen a devil. Edwin's eyes were bloodshot, filled with murderous intent. His muscles were taut, and even though he was dressed in an elegant suit, he couldn't hide the terrifying aura that surrounded him. "I... I didn't see anything!" Hailey turned around and ran. She never expected that while wandering around aimlessly, she would unintentionally witness Edwin killing Victoria in a place devoid of servants and guests. Hailey deeply regretted why she had put herself in such a situation. Even if she screamed for help, no one in the banquet hall would hear her. They could only hear the elegant waltz music and the harmonious conversation signifying p
"Hailey, shut up! You have no right to speak here!" Natalie revealed a sharp side she had never shown before.Hailey wasn't part of the Windsor family, and her position in the Watson family wasn't high enough, so it seemed she indeed had no qualification to speak.But... she was a witness!"My Victoria! Victoria, how can I face your mother like this?" Henry stood beside Victoria's body, crying uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face.Edwin supported Henry, hiding the smirk in his eyes, and said, "Dad, please calm down. Don't go over there for now. If you accidentally disturb Victoria's body and destroy evidence, it won't be easy to bring the murderer to justice.""Victoria, my daughter!" Henry's cries, filled with grief, echoed throughout North Point."Mama, don't worry. I will make sure the person who harmed you gets what they deserve!" Adrian's eyes welled up with tears, his face pale and his hands trembling.Lyra gently supported him, whispering, "Adrian, our son and I will a
Since Victoria is already dead and can't be punished for hiring a hitman, Adrian used this to accuse Oliver of having a motive for murder.Playing a good hand!"I have something to say too." Edwin suddenly spoke up, pointing at Oliver's silver mask, saying, "Everyone thinks he disfigured his face and turned into an ugly monster, but I coincidentally found out that behind that mask is actually an intact face!"Edwin's gaze toward Oliver was like looking at a deeply scheming devil. "Oliver, you have gone through so much trouble to hide your face. I have reason to suspect that you have some undisclosed secrets!"Except for a few trustworthy individuals who had seen "Oliver's" true face, the only one who saw him was Hailey!Seeing Hailey's proud expression, it immediately became clear why Hailey would become Edwin's companion- because she and Edwin had conspired together!Everybody thought Oliver would refuse to take off the mask.Amid the watchful eyes, his slender fingers grasped the si
