"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 aOliver 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
"Alright, thank you. I'll give you a bonus later," Natalie said to Sophia as they got into a taxi, instructing the driver, "To the Harrington family villa."Natalie finally had time to look at her phone, which was filled with missed calls from Lilian.At first, Natalie had no intention of answering, but after some consideration, she decided to call Lilian back.After all, Lilian was Oliver's cousin and genuinely cared about him."Hello."As soon as the call connected, she heard Lilian's anxious roar. "Natalie, what happened to my brother? What on earth happened? I refuse to believe my brother would kill someone, and even if he did, he wouldn't use such a foolish method and get caught!"Natalie's heart tightened. She didn't believe it either, but Oliver didn't explain anything. All the evidence pointed to him, and she couldn't do anything about it."Natalie, you have to figure something out, please! Natalie, my brother didn't kill anyone, right?" Lilian sobbed.Natalie couldn't help bu
In reality, Sophia wanted to say, "If Oliver is ruined, won't it be better for you to come to my master? My master is handsome, capable, influential, and cherishes you like a precious gem. He's much better than Oliver!”Natalie said, "I'll make a phone call."But she couldn't even contact Isaac and Wyatt!Sophia discreetly observed Natalie's expression and felt immense joy in her heart. They were not picking up her calls! Which means only her master was left!"Think about whether you have any friends you can contact. Ideally, someone influential and powerful. Only such individuals can be of help at times like this," Sophia calmly suggested, secretly hoping her master would come to mind.Natalie indeed thought of Roger.Roger was capable and resourceful, but to be precise, she had only met him a few times. They were acquaintances, but every encounter felt like a matter of life and death.However, at that moment, she couldn't think of anyone better than Roger.She dialed his number, and
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
