As Natalie approached the separate restrooms for men and women, a sudden force grabbed her from behind. With her voice muffled by the hand covering her mouth, she was immediately pulled into a cubicle and pressed against the door.A highly aggressive masculine aura surrounded her.Natalie looked up and saw that incredibly handsome face, which widened her eyes in astonishment. "Mr. Windsor?! What are you doing here...?" Natalie suddenly realized, "Were you sitting in the back row of the audience just now?"Oliver raised an eyebrow in surprise. "How did you know?""I just felt someone in the back row," Natalie remembered seeing a small black hole on the ground after the bucket exploded. She hadn't paid attention at the time, but now she thought it might have been a bullet!"Was it you who shot the gun and caused the bucket to break?" Natalie trembled as she asked.If his aim had been slightly off, a life could have been taken!"Finally catching on," Oliver complimented her, but his expr
Oliver’s face showed no signs of improvement.Seven rounds?Huh, not even one!Of course, Oliver would never admit this fact.Natalie came out after changing her clothes, and Oliver and Isaac were still outside."Natalie, I didn't expect us to have met early on. Why didn't you tell me?" Isaac was the first to speak.Isaac was a person with high emotional intelligence. He was skilled at livening up the atmosphere and manipulating relationships, often able to rapidly become "friends" with strangers.Natalie glanced at Oliver, who was holding a cigarette between his fingertips, completely ignoring the two of them.“Isaac, Mr. Windsor and I are just nominally married...”"Is that enough?" Natalie's words were cut off by Oliver.Oliver took a drag of his cigarette and flicked the remaining ashes into the ashtray on the trash can. With a cold expression on his face, he walked away, saying, "That's enough."Natalie felt a bit confused, unsure of what she had done to upset Oliver. Why did he
She noticed this man at a glance. His appearance was outstanding, and his aura exuded nobility and dominance, as if he didn't care about anyone or anything. Walking together with Isaac, he must have an extraordinary background. A man like him had a fatal allure to any woman! "This is my brother, surnamed Windsor," Isaac introduced. Natalie was shocked. Wasn't Isaac afraid of exposing Oliver's identity by introducing him like this? After a moment of thought, ordinary people wouldn't associate the extremely handsome "Mr. Windsor" in front of them with the hideous "Mr. Windsor" described in rumors. Sure enough, Hailey extended her hand and displayed a gentle smile. "Mr. Windsor, hello. I'm Hailey!" Oliver glanced at her, a touch of disgust flickering in his eyes. Then he beckoned with a finger to Natalie, who was not far away, signaling her to come over. Reluctantly, Natalie walked over. She didn't want to get involved, but Oliver insisted. "Let's go," Oliver wrapped his arm arou
"Sister-in-law, have you signed with a company now?" Isaac asked, trying to sign Natalie while the opportunity was hot."Not yet.""What do you think of our company?" Isaac leaned on Oliver, but Oliver shook him off with disdain. Unconcerned, Isaac continued, "With your relationship with brother, I will definitely support you! With your qualifications, you'll definitely become an international supermodel!"Being an international supermodel was an enticing prospect for any model.And RK Media was undoubtedly a powerful background."Thank you for your kindness, Isaac, but I think I'll pass," Natalie knew that Isaac only wanted to sign her because of Oliver's reputation, but she didn't want to owe Oliver anything. Repayment of favors was always difficult.She could take her time finding a suitable agency."She doesn't deserve to be there, In RK Media," the words "let's sign the contract later" almost slipped from Oliver's mouth but were swallowed back when Natalie spoke just now."I..."
Natalie turned her head and locked eyes with Oliver, his pale gaze cold and chilling."Mr. Windsor, why are you here?" Natalie hesitated for a moment, "Uh, I might have gotten in the wrong car."She prepared to get out and wait for the car Uncle Liam had sent, but the doors were already locked."Natalie." He suddenly called her name."Um?" Natalie looked at him in confusion."Are you stupid?""......"Natalie took a deep breath, trying to maintain her composure. "How can you insult people, Mr. Windsor?""How did you get back?" Oliver received a call from Uncle Liam, saying Natalie had been waiting here since the afternoon, all the way until now, as he was on his way back from the RK headquarters to the villa.“By taxi.”"Natalie, don't you know that taxi drivers assault and kill female passengers?"The man gave her a look that seemed to say, “Are you stupid?” Natalie rolled her eyes.That's just a few isolated incidents! Besides, am I supposed to climb up the hill on my own two legs i
By now, it was already past dinner time, and when the dishes were ready, it was almost time for supper.Having congee for supper was good for the stomach, but considering that Oliver might not be full, Natalie made mushroom, vegetable and seafood congee, as well as sour soup with fatty beef and steamed fish.All the food was ready before 9 o’clock.Natalie went upstairs and knocked on Oliver's door, and someone quickly opened it from inside.Oliver had just taken a shower and was loosely wearing a black silk robe that was untied around the waist, as if dressing nicely was a burden for him.He looked down at her with a sour expression and a hint of paleness.Natalie noticed his slightly hunched back and the tension in his abdomen. "Do you have a stomachache?"“Get to the point, Natalie,” Oliver said, leaning against the door."I made dinner for you. Will you come downstairs and have something to eat?"“I’m not hungry.” Oliver was in a bad mood and full of anger, so why bother eating?"
Back in school, Natalie consistently ranked first in her major, and her teachers always praised her highly. If it weren't for her exceptional talent, she wouldn't have made a name for herself in the fashion industry last year with just a small show, becoming the only newcomer model in that event."Jane..." Natalie wanted to say, it wasn't just because of one game of pool. Natalie couldn't help but blush."Jane, when are you available? I have something to tell you.""Is it urgent?" Jane's tone instantly turned serious, thinking that Natalie had something important to discuss."Not urgent, and not necessarily a bad thing, but it's not suitable for discussing over the phone." Natalie was worried that Jane would find out that she was marrying Oliver instead of Hailey, and that Hailey was involved with Adrian. Without her there to calm things down, Jane might just take a swing at Adrian with a baseball bat!Back in high school, there were two foolish rich guys who had their eyes on Natal
This allowed her to cut off the last trace of gratitude towards Robert."Miss Natalie, you're back!" The servant exclaimed in surprise when he saw Natalie.Robert's expression changed, he turned around and asked Natalie in astonishment, "Natalie, when did you come back?""Just now." Natalie handed the three gifts prepared by Mr. Liam to the servant.Robert looked at Natalie for a moment. She seemed so calm. She probably didn't hear what he just said, right?Mr. Liam prepared a jade finger ring for Robert, a jade bracelet for Mrs. Watson, and a Hetian jade pendant for Hailey. They were all of excellent quality and worth millions, but in the Rosewood Estate, they were considered ordinary items."Natalie, look, we didn't harm you by marrying you to Mr. Windsor back then, and now Mr. Windsor spoils you so much!" Mrs. Watson happily touched her jade bracelet.Is spoiling someone just about giving gifts? Natalie didn't say anything, Mrs. Watson was always a money-minded and materialistic wo
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
