"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."
Edwin had now taken over as the family head, and the uncles and aunts of the Windsor family viewed him as their leader. In the future, his words would matter the most in this big family! But for Oliver, who was not dependent on the Windsor Group, the title of "family head" meant nothing! "Congratulations on getting what you wanted. I hope you won't let the Windsor Group go downhill," Oliver said. He glanced at the uncles and aunts of the Windsor family, and drove away. One of the uncles couldn't help but sigh, "It's a shame. If it were Oliver at Windsor Group, he would have easily solved the current predicament.""What are you talking about!" His brother next to him quickly gave him a look. Didn't he see Edwin was here too?The man quickly changed his tone and said, "But with Edwin's leadership, Windsor Group will certainly not be lacking!"The smile on Edwin's face cracked a bit. Why did these old folks still think highly of Oliver, even though he hadn't
A long time had passed.Finally, those men pulled up their pants, bid farewell, and discussed their experiences.Adrian lay naked on the ground, gradually ceasing all movement, as if falling asleep.The night was quiet, and every filthy, humiliating word reached Noah's ears.Noah closed her eyes in despair.That night, Paykston had its first snowfall of the year.The snow came down heavily, accumulating within a single night.In a small alley, someone discovered a naked male corpse. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Adrian!Later, there were reports of a deranged woman, alternating between crying and laughing. She bore a striking resemblance to Miss Noah of the Harrington family. However, this person didn't look as attractive as Noah's online photos, so it was uncertain if it was really her.Another person came forward, claiming that it was indeed Noah. Apparently, Noah was a social media influencer who relied on photo retouching and loo
"Lucas rarely comes, and today, Winnie is coming too. I know you like her," Natalie said.Oliver sneered, implying "you only like your little rascal, no need to explain!"Lucas and Lilian arrived quickly.Before they even entered the main building, they could hear the voices of the two talking from afar - one soft and gentle, the other casual and lazy.Natalie was surprised. She didn't expect these two to get along so well.Lilian rushed in like a whirlwind."Brother! Cousin! Someone bullied me!... Where's Simon?" Lilian looked around the living room but only saw Natalie, not Oliver."He went upstairs to change clothes. He'll be here in a moment." Oliver didn't like wearing suits at home. Usually, he would take a shower after coming home and change into a set of casual clothes.Lucas casually walked in, wearing an easy-going smile when he saw Natalie. "Sis!"Lilian was startled. She stared at Lucas in amazement.This boy was fierce and menacin
Lilian widened her eyes in disbelief. "...Lucas, how shameless can you be?"She almost forgot what Lucas's name was."Sis, look at her. She keeps saying I'm shameless. I cooked for her tirelessly these past few days, and when she said she was scared at night, I waited by her bed until she fell asleep before going to sleep on the couch. It's true, sis, just look at brother-in-law's family. You're so great, and there's no worry in finding a husband. Why don't you..." Lucas trailed off, looking at Oliver."You little brat, you and 'Well'..." Oliver suddenly spoke, stopping midway as he looked at Lucas.Lucas slightly widened his eyes, cautiously watching Oliver. He still had no intention of revealing his identity to his sister.He still wanted to be an adorable and harmless little dog.Oliver tilted his mouth disdainfully.Natalie looked at Oliver and Lucas suspiciously, not knowing what these two were playing."Cousin, why aren't you talking?" Lilian as
Natalie had been putting all her energy into her troublesome little brother. Meanwhile, the fewer people knew about Lucas's identity, the safer it would be for him."As for revealing my identity to you, my purpose was to warn you that my sister isn't someone to be trifled with, unlike the powerless Watson family. Although I may not have the power and authority of being the CEO of the RK Group like you, I'm not short of money. I possess formidable strength. If you dare to treat my sister poorly or betray her, I will not let you get away with it!"Lucas's demonstration and warning came.This statement indirectly confirmed that he had indeed accepted Oliver as his brother-in-law.What could Lucas do now if he didn't want to accept it? His sister wouldn't leave, and she was still worried about Oliver!Moreover, after this incident, even Lucas, who had never been in a relationship, could tell that Natalie liked Oliver.If his sister liked him, he had no choice but
Natalie's entry into this winter fashion show as a petite model with no significant achievements was mainly due to her outstanding Siberian-themed costume from the "Top Avenue" competition.This time, Natalie's outfit had a similar style to the Siberian one, with the dominant use of fur and armor, portraying the fierce aura of a warrior queen.The models waiting backstage were amazed when they saw Natalie's outfit and looked at Vivian, whom they had previously ignored. They never expected this stylist, who often served the entertainment industry, to have such skills.With fast-paced music playing, Natalie stepped onto the runway.She used her usual confident strides, creating a striking presence like that of a queen and a victorious warrior.Proud yet not aloof, powerful but not overpowering.Just when everyone thought Natalie's style was dominant and assertive, she took the stage for the second time.She changed into an exaggerated European classical gow
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
