"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
During the celebration banquet held here for the employees participating in the car exhibition today, Isaac, the second generation in the industry, along with the young CEOs, were also having a gathering in the VIP box next door. They had invited Oliver to join them.Unexpectedly, in the midst of their celebration, Oliver received a call from Natalie.Over the phone, the woman called him "Isaac" right away, her voice filled with abnormal tension.In that instant, he knew that something had happened to her."Mr. Windsor..."Natalie let out a sigh of relief, as if all the strength had been drained from her body. For several seconds, she even had to lean on Oliver's body and could barely stand steadily on her own."Did he touch you?" Oliver's voice was icily calm."N-No." Natalie didn't know if his use of the word "touch" referred to harassment or not."Where did he touch you?" Oliver asked, clearly refusing to believe her."Nowhere, really..." Natalie hesitated, feeling ashamed. She did
The dining room was located on the first floor, while the second floor served as an entertainment area.The luxurious private room was filled with the sounds of lively music and bold dancing. Meanwhile, a couple was performing a rap and their vocal combination had become the talk of the room."Mr. Windsor, Issac, you're back!" The people in the room all stood up upon seeing Oliver and Isaac, clearly treating them with great respect."Oh, and you brought a little beauty with you!" A wealthy young man with blonde hair noticed Natalie standing behind Oliver and his eyes lit up. He asked excitedly, "A new acquisition?""If you don't want to die, shut up!" Isaac picked up a nearby cushion and tossed it at the blondie.Suddenly, Natalie felt someone's arm resting on her shoulder, pulling her into Oliver's embrace."Oh~ So you're Mr. Windsor's woman! I misspoke earlier, I'll punish myself with a drink!" The blondie promptly downed a glass of whisky.The other men and women in the room began
"Brother..." Isaac noticed Oliver looking at him."Have someone send her away." Oliver's face grew ominously dark."Alright!"Isaac immediately stood up and went outside to give instructions. As he caught sight of Oliver holding a cigarette, he followed suit and headed towards the exit. However, after a few steps, Oliver abruptly turned back, his face darkened, and asked Isaac, "Am I annoying?"She discarded her image and shook her head like a drum, "How can that be possible! So many women are lining up to throw themselves at you!"Over there, isn't that Aura family's young miss sitting there!Oliver's face turned cold, didn't Natalie despise him to death!"Brother, where are you going?" He had already arranged for someone to send his sister-in-law, so it shouldn't be the case that he was going home by himself, right?" I am just getting some fresh air, damn it, stop following me!" Oliver was feeling annoyed.He disappeared from everyone's sight in just a few seconds as he had long l
Natalie didn't expect Oliver to come back in the middle of the night.She also never expected to be awakened in the middle of the night to tend to Oliver.As Natalie descended the stairs, she felt that tonight's Oliver was different, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was different.The man stood at the entrance, lazily leaning against the doorframe. His light brown eyes were as clear as a flowing stream, exuding a powerful and domineering aura without any disguise, like an emperor.It was as if even his emotions had been magnified.It wasn't until she got closer and smelled the strong scent of alcohol in the air that she realized he had been drinking a large amount of alcohol."Are you drunk?"Natalie was overwhelmed by the smell of alcohol.Oliver felt a bit dizzy, hesitating whether or not to support her. Oliver blinked, looking down at the woman in front of him. She was wearing a watermelon red camisole nightgown, with a small cape draped over her shoulder, exposing her slende
