It was easy to guess that Oliver's overly cold reaction made Lilian feel bad, and the young girl became angry.
Lilian huffed and said, "Cousin, someone is trying to seduce your wife! Let me tell you, if you continue like this, Natalie will eventually become someone else's wife!"Natalie tried to stop her from mentioning Roger, but it was too late.She rubbed her temples, feeling somewhat helpless.Sophia looked at Lilian coldly- this girl was sent by Oliver as a spy.Spy? What happened to my lord sending flowers? What happened? Natalie liked it!Because of the detour, the nanny car first took Lilian back to the apartment. Natalie suddenly recognized a familiar Rolls-Royce ahead.Charles opened the door and got out of the car, waving to Natalie in the nanny car.When Lilian had just walked past the Rolls-Royce, Charles didn't call her, which indicated that Charles wasn't here to see Lilian but to wait for Natalie."Lady, sir asked me to come and piGrandpa Parker stepped through the door of the room, seeing Natalie's curious face as she surveyed the flower buds. "This is a blossom. You can see it has a hooked stem with the tip of the bud pointing upwards. It will be blooming in just a few hours, so Oliver has brought you just in time."Natalie gave Oliver a surprised look. Had he brought her to see the flowers on purpose? Was he just relieved because he was glad the flowers hadn't bloomed yet?Natalie's heartstrings felt as if something had tugged at them.The blossoming requirements of the blossoms were extremely demanding. They needed a temperature between 20 degrees and 26 degrees and air humidity of 80% or more. The windows in this room were circumscribed, and the room had a air conditioner to meet the requirements.Natalie quickly retracted her thoughts and asked, "Blossoms usually bloom in September and October. It's December now. How can this…"Grandpa Parker smiled smugly and said, "I naturally have
Such a breathtaking view made Natalie hold her breath, reluctant to even blink her eyes.She completely failed to notice that while she was watching the flowers, another person was watching her.Oliver's gaze never left Natalie. He saw her astonishment, admiration, delight, and the sparkle in her eyes.Grandpa Parker saw the smile on Oliver's lips. Charles was also amazed by the fleeting beauty of the Night Blooming Cereus, but due to his professionalism, he didn't focus entirely on the blooming flowers. He kept an eye on Oliver, ready to serve his master at any time.The Night Blooming Cereus lasted only a few hours.Before dawn, it withered.Oliver took Natalie to the Rosewood Estate.Grandpa Parker felt a bit unhappy. "You look down on my place? It's almost daylight, can't you stay here for the night?"Oliver replied without courtesy, "It will be bright in a few hours.""Goodbye, young lady. Come and visit often!" Grandpa Parker finally ha
Natalie's ears turned red. "Emily, I'm not...""I can tell from your voice that you just woke up. No need for explanations," Emily teased. "I've had my fair share of sexual experiences, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about.""...Emily, let's get down to business, okay?"Emily didn't continue joking with Natalie, and they ended the call to switch to a video call, discussing their upcoming work schedule.Originally, Emily had planned to have a detailed discussion with Natalie at the company today, but since Natalie needed rest, a video call worked just as well.After the show, Emily's schedule was packed for the next two days. She briefly discussed the tasks and events with Natalie, wanting to choose the best and most suitable ones.Oliver took the day off from work today.He woke up close to noon and cuddled with Natalie, who was still sleeping, for a while before heading to the study to handle his work.Liam followed Oliver's instructions and qu
Natalie forcefully pulled her hand away from Mrs. Watson, took a step back, and looked at her with a faint expression. "Aunt, Hailey committed a criminal offense, she killed someone. It's not up to me to decide whether to spare her or not. If you want to plead, you should go to the court, not me. I have no right to override the law."The case of Victoria's death had just concluded, and another man had been sentenced to death, while Hailey had been sentenced to six years in prison.Six years in prison! Prison is hell. How could her Hailey go to such a place!"No! My daughter didn't commit murder!" Mrs. Watson shouted with bloodshot eyes. "Hailey was framed, she didn't kill anyone! Natalie, I beg you, you haven't repaid the favor of being raised by the Watson family all these years. How can you be so heartless? Go beg Oliver! Oliver must have a way!""Aunt, you should know very well how much I have done for the Watson family over the years, and how much the Watson fami
"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
"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
"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
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
