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
Natalie's mind couldn't process anything anymore. She could only shake her head vigorously, relying on her most genuine thoughts."Natalie, you're my wife."The word "wife" felt even more shocking than "Mrs.""Oliver, you promised not to force me..." she said.A slight cold smile tugged at the corners of Oliver's mouth, making him appear even colder."Are you a virgin?" he asked.Natalie's face turned instantly red. A thought raced through her mind, if she said she wasn't, would Oliver spare her?While he might indeed not touch her again, he was more likely to kill her at that very instant!At this moment, Natalie was certain that Oliver had had quite a bit to drink. She had already told him that she hadn't kissed Adrian, so how could she have slept with him!"Have you been with Adrian?" Oliver asked when he saw her remain silent. The coldness in his eyes made her shudder."No!" Natalie decisively shook her head, tears shimmering in her eyes, intimidated by his cold demeanor.Intoxica
Oliver didn't use hot water to shower.As cold water poured down from the shower top, his out-of-control emotions gradually calmed down.Oliver didn't know if he was angry at Natalie for not taking him seriously or angry at himself for losing control over this woman.He hated himself for losing control so much!After taking a bath, he came out wearing a robe.Just as he stepped out of the bathroom, his footsteps halted and he squinted.The bed was empty.Oliver stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a cigarette between his fingertips. Smoke rings emanated from his sensual lips and his incredibly handsome face appeared somewhat unreal in the hazy mist."Knock, knock, knock!"Just then, Oliver heard three urgent knocks on the door. The sound wasn't soft, but it quickly faded, as if someone was running away from the other end of the door.Oliver opened the door.On the carpet outside, there was a mahogany tray with a porcelain bowl of soup. The bowl contained a steaming golden bro
"Mr. Liam, it wasn't me!" Natalie blushed and waved her hand. She had just told Oliver that she didn't do it and didn't want her lies to be exposed. "Lady, all the servants had gone to bed last night, who else could it be but you?" Mr. Liam kindly smiled. "You are the young master's wife, there's nothing to be embarrassed about.""I..." I'm not embarrassed, but you're stealing my thunder!Oliver glanced at Natalie, and crossed his legs crossed. His long legs wrapped in trousers showcasing a smooth and sexy curve, his posture lazy yet exuding a hint of wild elegance. As Oliver looked into her eyes, there was a touch of sharp mockery.Natalie pouted and muttered under her breath with a barely audible "hmph".Her small and plump red lips reminded Oliver of the sweet taste that had penetrated to the marrow of his bones last night, darkening his gaze.Thinking of her rejection last night, his gaze turned cold once again."Why didn't you wear the ring on the day of the car exhibition?"Nat
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
