"Natalie, you will come to Adrian and my engagement banquet early next month, right?" Hailey said coyly. "Adrian promised to give me the best engagement banquet, so the preparation time is a bit longer. Look, this is the engagement ring he prepared for me, designed by a Milan designer that I really like."Hailey extended her right hand, revealing a dazzling seven-carat diamond ring on her right middle finger, shining brightly. The design and clarity of the diamond were top-notch.But compared to Natalie's wedding ring, it was not worth mentioning."Hailey, Natalie likes my brother. How could she have the heart to come to your engagement banquet with my brother? What if she starts crying at your engagement party? That would be such a downer!" Noah raised his chin, disdainfully smirking."Miss Watson is so lucky!""Congratulations in advance to Miss Watson and Adrian for a hundred years of happiness!"The surrounding models were congratulating Hailey. During the interview, they had alre
"As for why I slapped your brother, it's simply because he was disrespectful towards Jane! Back when the Harrington family and the Watson’s were in business together, we treated each other like family. Now that your brother is acting against us, if this were to get out, I'm sure it would be Jane who would feel embarrassed, not me!"Jane smiled and looked at Adrian. "Adrian, not to criticize, but you're playing a bit too much. Our Natalie has no relationship whatsoever with you now. Noah is your brother, not Natalie's"Adrian's face turned sour for a moment. Jane was reminding him that Natalie was no longer his girlfriend."Adrian, look at Noah's face..." Hailey intentionally reminded him of what happened to his brother."Fine!" Adrian's expression turned cold. "Miss Watson, Ms. Jane, the two of you have resorted to personal attacks against a younger family member. Since you are unwilling to apologize, I will have to involve the police for mediation."Since Natalie has lost face and ha
He would never dare to have any inappropriate thoughts about the woman in front of him, even if she was beautiful. It's not like he wanted to die young!Natalie blushed instantly.Because she thought of Oliver, the only man who had ever kissed her, and he happened to be her... husband."Oh, my goodness! Natalie, you are so beautiful!" Arvin couldn't help but exclaim after finishing the styling.The other models and makeup artists all turned their attention to her with amazed expressions.Natalie looked ethereal in a white dress, with her long hair in loose curls and a white baby's breath as a hair accessory, perfectly complementing the boldness within her wavy hair. Her makeup wasn't elegant but carried a hint of wildness.Arvin excelled at blending different styles, creating a striking and refreshing sensation."If the dress wasn't so reserved, it would be even more stunning." Jane looked down upon the outfit. With her background in photography, Jane had excellent taste.Arvin pouted
Even if he loved beautiful women, he didn't dare to have any inappropriate thoughts about the woman in front of him!Natalie blushed immediately.Because she thought of Oliver, the only man who had kissed her, and also her husband."Oh my god! Natalie, you're so beautiful!" Arvin couldn't help but exclaim after finishing her styling.The other models and makeup artists all turned their gaze towards her, revealing a look of astonishment.Natalie, in a white fairy-like dress, with her long wavy hair partially pinned up, adorned with white aster flowers as accessories. It perfectly toned down the boldness of her wavy hair, with a touch of wildness in her elegant makeup.Arvin was skilled at blending different styles, giving people a refreshing and stunning look."If the clothes were less conservative, it would be even more stunning." Jane frowned at this outfit. Being in the photography profession, Jane had top-notch aesthetic sense.Arvin grinned. Originally, it was supposed to be a sex
"Natalie, was it your carelessness that caused this?" Hailey furrowed her brows, looking worried yet hesitant to speak.Everyone's gaze turned to Natalie.This Hummer is Natalie's display car, and Natalie happened to be sitting on the hood of the Hummer the entire afternoon today, obviously capable of "accidentally" scratching the paint of the car.Being careless and damaging the vehicle as a car model reflects a lack of professional ethics, and it would definitely be a stain on her modeling career if this news were to spread.The smile on the head manager's face instantly disappeared. "Natalie, what on earth happened? You damaged the paint of this car, and you must take responsibility and compensate for it!""Natalie, repainting this car costs a lot of money. Do you have the means to pay for it?" Hailey sympathetically said, "Do you want me to lend you some money?""I am expected to admit that I scratched the paint, right?" Natalie spoke slowly after they finished talking."And who e
Adrian immediately pinned the blame on Natalie and stood up for his girlfriend.Isaac couldn't help but roll his eyes in front of everyone.Looking at his brother, the man's eyes curled up coldly, mocking Adrian.Natalie couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Miss Hailey, did I explicitly say it was you? Why are you so eager to assume it was you? Adrian, do you know the whole story before rushing to support her?"Natalie was certain that Hailey was responsible for the incident, but she lacked direct evidence."Adrian, look at how she’s treating me." Hailey pretended to be the victim."Natalie, I won't pursue today's matter any further. I will cover the cost of repairing this car for you." Adrian generously said. "Please handle the formalities.""Heh!" This was Oliver's first time making a sound since arriving at this dilemma.A laugh that sent shivers down one's spine.Adrian turned his gaze towards Oliver as he laughed.He had noticed this man as soon as he entered. His appearance a
"Hailey, what's going on?" Adrian asked, almost shouting."Adrian, I don't want to take off the ring. I promised to marry you, and I'll wear it for the rest of my life. Please don't be angry." Hailey smiled forcibly, making an effort to appear calm."I'm asking you, what happened with the car that got scratched!" Adrian practically yelled the question. As soon as he considered that he had wrongly accused Natalie while defending Hailey, he felt like a fool!"I... I don't know, really." Hailey shook her head, her eyes flickering under everyone's gaze. "Maybe I accidentally brushed against it when I passed by earlier, or maybe... Oh! I tripped with my high heels just now and almost fell. Maybe during that moment, I unintentionally scratched the car."The green paint on the ring was undeniable evidence, visual proof of Hailey's lie.Hailey couldn't deny it any longer and had to admit that she had scratched the car. But she absolutely refused to admit that she had framed Natalie, absolutel
Natalie shook her head, immediately denying her terrifying thought.Rather than saying Oliver did it for her, it was more convincing to say he did it to provoke Adrian. From the experience at the Windsor family mansion, it was clear that Oliver disliked his nephew, Adrian.The celebration banquet was held at the Starry Hotel."Congratulations on the perfect conclusion of our Autumn Exhibition!""Cheers!"In the spacious north hall of the hotel, glasses clinked, and laughter filled the air.Some people were here just for the meal, like Natalie. But most were here to expand their social network during this opportunity.During the dinner, a few models sat on the laps of some executives."Are you the woman by Isaac's side?" one executive approached Natalie with a drink.Natalie's face darkened, and she discreetly moved away from the chair. "No, I'm not."Mr. Brown immediately smiled, "Perfect! How about joining me then? I will help you!"Mr. Brown took the chance to extend his hand toward
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
