Natalie sat in the front row of the public gallery and clearly saw that Oliver's expression remained unchanged, with a faint glimmer in his eyes that never left Henry even for a moment.
Natalie couldn't help but imagine the pain of sending one's own father to prison.After living with Oliver for nearly six months, Natalie learned he wasn't truly heartless."This is unfair, I won't accept it!" Noah suddenly lost control.She shouted, "It was Oliver who killed someone! Why is he being released without charges while my grandfather is being arrested? My mommy was killed, and you haven't caught the culprit, yet you let Oliver go and sentence my mommy! Are the courts colluding with Oliver? I'll sue you! You're unfair, you're covering up!""Outrageous!" the judge sternly exclaimed. "If you have any grievances, you can provide compelling evidence and appeal. The court is absolutely fair and just. How can you insult the court? How can you question the fairness of the lawThe journalist couldn't help but purse her lips, realizing her plan had backfired.Roger looked at Natalie with proud and doting eyes.He was proud of his little princess's fighting spirit and was willing to protect her at any cost."Miss Watson, would you mind revealing the purpose of your presence at the trial today? It's difficult to obtain the qualifications for observing the trial. How did you manage it? Can you disclose who your husband is?" This time, the journalist's approach softened significantly.She belonged to a strong media company. When she asked her questions, the other reporters remained silent, eagerly awaiting Natalie's response."She came to see me."Just then, a cold and indifferent voice caught everyone's attention.The journalists turned their heads to see who the person was."Who's that? He's so handsome, is he a new rising star?""Is he from a wealthy family?""This person looks somewhat familiar..."Twelve bodygua
Natalie sat up straight, propping herself against the seat, and pushed Oliver's chest with one hand. "Oliver, do you really think you are being righteous?"Indeed, Oliver did think so; he didn't pay much attention to that man with hidden intentions.Natalie was filled with anger, with countless emotions surging inside her. Her concerns over the past few days, his unreasonable dominance, his frustrating temper, the helplessness and heartache of sending loved ones to jail, and... Oliver's concealment of everything from her.Natalie felt a bit suffocated.Instead of feeling the joy of surviving a catastrophe or the happiness of a publicized marriage, she felt even more melancholic.She didn't understand what was causing this melancholy; she just vaguely felt that many things would change.Oliver frowned slightly. Was Natalie upset? Upset about what exactly?This private restaurant was well-known among the upper class in Paykston. The tea was top-notch, brewe
A subordinate asked Roger, "Master, are we taking action against Adrian tonight?"Roger looked out the window at the passing scenery and replied, "Not yet."It is only when people think he has fallen into the abyss that he delivers a crushing blow, letting them know that the abyss is not terrifying; what is terrifying is hell.“Adrian, I'll let you live a few more days!”Natalie knew of Oliver's financial power, but she was also well aware of Roger's status.Even with his picky nature, he had a lot of properties for temporary accommodation.She just didn't expect that he would have a small villa in a place like the administrative district where he rarely came.The ingredients were already prepared. Natalie wanted to eat noodles, so the servant prepared noodles and side dishes.All kinds of noodles were there- wide and narrow, Western, Japanese, Korean, and even high-gluten flour. Natalie was amused.After thinking for a moment, Natalie chose flour
Women eat in small bites. Her barely perceptible smile made Oliver realize that her mood had improved drastically.When she came to the detention center to visit him, he could feel the intense and pure emotions she had for him. But in court, she was calm to the point of detachment.Where did the problem lie? Oliver pondered silently.He disliked seeing her unhappy.He wanted her to be happy forever, and he loved the way she smiled.Oliver had seen Natalie smile at Roger, pure and carefree; he had seen her smile at Lucas, gentle and determined; and he had seen her on the award podium, confident and powerful.But her smiles toward him...Oliver carefully recalled them - some were helpless, some were playful, some were smug, and some were grateful.Whenever he thought of those scenes, Oliver couldn't help but feel jealous.He wanted to hide Natalie away and watch her alone!After devouring the noodles and pancake, Jamie sighed with relief. The co
"Oliver!" Natalie was startled, anxiously supporting Oliver's arm, wanting to check his wound.If Oliver hadn't reacted quickly, Natalie would have been the one stabbed.Oliver covered the wound with his other hand and said, "I'm fine."The police quickly subdued Hailey and directed their attention toward Oliver and Natalie. They apologized for the accident that caused Oliver's injury. No one expected Hailey to have hidden props to hurt someone in the police station. Two guards handcuffed Hailey and escorted her to the detention cell. In Hailey's mind echoed Edwin's words- "Hailey, I'll give you two options. One, do as I say and I'll let you live; two, disobey me and I'll make your life a living hell." Hailey had to make a choice, and that led her to this place, to "confess" and await her punishment."Mr. Windsor, could you come over and let me apply some bandages?" A police officer brought a first aid kit."Okay." Oliver instructed another officer
"Does it hurt?" Natalie wanted to touch his arm, but she didn't dare to. She hesitated and withdrew her hand."It doesn't hurt." Oliver wanted to lie and say "it hurts," but he couldn't bear to worry her too much.Natalie abandoned the distracting thoughts in her mind and focused on bathing him.However, it was not easy to concentrate at a time like this, especially when there was someone watching her constantly."Can you close your eyes?" Natalie said helplessly. Oliver's gaze was too invasive. It was impossible to ignore him."I want to see if you're washing me properly," Oliver justified himself. "Don't miss any spots."Why does it feel like this guy is toying with her? Is it just her imagination?Natalie took a deep breath and kept telling herself in her heart, “He got injured because of you, you can't be heartless!”After the bath, Oliver wanted Natalie to dress him up, saying it would disturb his wound if he did it himself. Did he not distu
"Hailey was mistaken as the mastermind, causing Noah to almost break down emotionally, and Adrian was tormented by Hailey's actions." Natalie continued talking to herself and then felt something was off. "But now that there's a scapegoat, Edwin gains control of the Windsor family. You wouldn't want to hand over the Windsor family to Edwin, right?" Although Oliver had no attachment to the Windsor family, he had never harmed the Windsor Group since the establishment of RK Corporation. It seemed that he didn't want to ruin the Windsor family. So he shouldn't be willing to give it to someone he didn't like. "Partially correct." Oliver held Natalie's chin and said with a good mood, "Do you want to know everything? Give me a kiss." Oliver failed to notice that his mood was utterly influenced by Natalie. When she was feeling down, he felt as if dark clouds were hovering above them, but when she was in a good mood, he felt the same. Natalie was about to give him a k
"Oliver wears a mask to hide such a handsome face, right?""Hailey... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned that disgusting name.""Mr. Windsor's photos are so blurry due to his handsomeness.""Is there any daring company willing to expose high-definition photos of Mr. Windsor?""Sorry, everyone still wants to continue working.""I want to interview Adrian for his thoughts at this moment. Hahaha..."Afterwards, netizens revealed they saw Hailey stabbing Natalie on the street. Hailey once again stirred up public anger.This time, the online buzz was overwhelming.The most direct impact was the continuous trading halt for stocks of the Windsor Group and the Watson Group, which was forced to declare bankruptcy.Oliver walked up to Natalie, intending to see what she was doing, but he was astonished by a message on her phone that read- "So here's the question, how does someone like Natalie deserve Oliver?"This had become popular."Natalie."
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
