"She owes her marriage to Oliver to us, but instead of being grateful, she comes back flaunting her power!""Daddy, about my position as a model...""Enough!" Robert angrily roared, "It's just a booth. What's the big deal if you don't get it?"Robert was still thinking about what Natalie said to him after almost slapping him. It wasn't just meant for Oliver's ears, but also for him—it's because of Lucas that she didn't fight back.She was reminding him to treat Lucas well. Otherwise, she wouldn't have any mercy on them in light of whatever Oliver would do to them in the future."Daddy, you're being mean to me..."Hailey, who had been spoiled since childhood, had never been scolded by Robert before. Suddenly being scolded, tears immediately welled up in her eyes.After being treated coldly by Oliver today, seeing Oliver protect Natalie, not getting her position as the head model back, and being scolded by her father, she felt more and more wronged!Hailey ran upstairs, crying."Hailey!
"Does it hurt?" Oliver removed his mask, revealing his outrageously handsome face that could make gods jealous."Yeah," Natalie nodded. The pain was not apparent when she was first hit because of the numbness, but now it was starting to kick in, and speaking became difficult.Oliver scoffed, "You're still a coward even after hitting someone. Serves you right!"Natalie took a deep breath. Forget it, it's not like she didn't know about his bad temper."Mr. Windsor, thank you for today" Natalie sincerely expressed her gratitude. "How did you suddenly come to the Watson family?"Oliver had just started the sports car and turned his head, looking smug as if saying, "What's it to you?"Natalie pursed her lips. She decided to be clever and not speak, but then the man suddenly spoke up."Natalie, does that mean that if I don't come, you'll let others bully you?" he asked, with a touch of a malicious smile.Only he could bully her!"I..." So, did he really come to the Watson family because of
"I feel like I haven't seen you around the main building before. When do you finish work? Before you finish, let me make you some snacks. I'm quite skilled at both Chinese and Western pastries. “What do you like to eat?" The maid's hands trembled slightly, and she kept her head down. "Lady, you're too kind. Don't thank me, really." After applying the medicine, the maid quickly left the room with her belongings. Everything returned to calmness. Natalie was lost in her thoughts about Oliver. In a way, she seemed to owe Oliver another favor. Objectively speaking, apart from his unpredictable temperament and the cold-blooded manner in which he killed at the old mansion, he was actually a good person, even outstanding. With his perfect appearance, outstanding temperament, formidable abilities, and powerful family background, if he wanted the outside world to know about these, countless high society ladies would flock to him. When he was willing to reveal the truth about himself to the
"Natalie, as long as you listen obediently, I won't let anyone bully you."After sleeping for the night, the injuries on Natalie's face had indeed improved significantly. Following the "maid's" instructions, she applied some medicine, and the cool and soothing ointment relieved the remaining fiery pain on her face.Natalie went downstairs and was amazed to see the foyer filled with stand-alone clothing racks, showcasing a variety of styles and designs, all women's clothing.Oliver sat on his own single sofa, allowing Mr. Liam to direct the maids on how to arrange them. People from the clothing store outside were constantly bringing in more stand-alone clothing racks."Lady, good morning!" Mr. Liam spotted Natalie standing on the second floor and said, "The young master has prepared these clothes for you. Are you still interested?"He bought them for her?So many?Is he planning on opening a women's clothing store?Natalie was stunned and quickened her pace downstairs, struggling to fi
"Madam, if you care about the young master, you can personally talk to him. You are his wife, and you can persuade him more." Mr. Liam was always good at judging people, and although this Madam was a substitute bride, she was humble and polite, living an organized life. She appeared cold, but was actually a gentle person, and the food she cooked could even open the appetite of the young master, who had anorexia.She suits the young master very well."Well... uh... forget it." Natalie awkwardly smiled, frantically shaking her head inwardly.Me, persuade him?Who knows how he might humiliate me!Not long after Oliver landed, he received a call from Mr. Liam."Young master, when will you return home?" Oliver furrowed his brows. Mr. Liam had never asked about his whereabouts before."Young master, Lady is worried about your health and cares about you."Natalie had no idea that Mr. Liam, the only person in this house who would put on a smile for her, was quietly selling her out.Oliver gla
She had no choice but to marry Oliver for money for her brother's life-saving surgery."Bang!"The beautifully wrapped gift box was violently thrown away.Oliver never expected to hear such words when he returned home.He thought she missed him, but it turns out she married him solely for the money!He thought her previous actions were seducing him, but now she says she doesn't love him!Oliver has only one word in mind: a joke.Startled by the noise, Natalie turned around to see a tall and majestic man standing not far behind her. She quickly hung up the phone.Oliver was wearing a tailored silver-gray suit. With broad shoulders and a slim waist, his long legs were tightly wrapped in dress pants, as if he had just come from a business meeting.His handsome face appeared even more striking under the sunlight, but his eyes were filled with piercing coldness and mockery, like a sharp sword.Terrifying as never before."How long have you been here?" Natalie stuttered.She didn't even not
Natalie shook her head, her eyes filled with tears of fear."If I'm unwilling, then you're an adulterer...""I don't mind."Oliver grew impatient and grabbed Natalie's wrist, pulling her upstairs. When she resisted and struggled, he lifted her up with one hand and marched forward."Oliver! Oliver! I'm sorry, don't do this!""I will be devoted to you from now on. Please, don't do this, I beg you!"Seeing his determination, Natalie screamed and hit him, trying to kick him.She didn't like him. She couldn't give herself to a man like him, even if he was her nominal husband. That psychological barrier couldn't be crossed.After being married for so long, she had already accepted that he didn't like her and wouldn't touch her!Oliver heard the woman's sobbing, and for the first time, he heard someone call his name in such a helpless and... tender way.His stubborn heart softened inexplicably, and he paused, "Devoted?"Seeing hope, Natalie placed her hands on his shoulders, struggling to li
Natalie saw a text message from an unfamiliar number: [Hey sister-in-law, it's Isaac. Hehe!]After Natalie passed the car show interview, Isaac became her boss, so she immediately sat up in bed: [Issac, hello.]Isaac: [Sister-in-law, Charles said Oliver brought you a gift all the way from London. What did he bring for you? Give us a taste of the good stuff?]Isaac was purely curious. Since he couldn't get an answer from Oliver, he happened to have nothing to do tonight, so he came to ask Natalie. After all, her contact information was in the company system and easy to obtain.In an instant, Natalie suddenly remembered that Oliver seemed to have lost something when he came back, and the sound of it being thrown was quite loud. She didn't pay attention to it at the time.Natalie got out of bed, casually put on a coat, and walked out.The servants had already gone to rest, and it was silent. The first-floor foyer was only dimly lit by a corner lamp.Natalie turned on her phone's flashlig
