Chapter 31
Natalie lowered her head and bit her lip. After a moment, she said, “My duty as your…your wife.”
“Do you find it embarrassing to be my wife?” Oliver raised his eyes to look at her, placing his finger on the trigger.
“No!” Natalie was terrified that he would aim the gun at her if her answer angered him.
“Say it again.”
I’m your wife!” Natalie shouted, cheeks flush, as if she had just admitted to something shameful.
Feeling a sense of unfairness, Natalie could not help but protest in a small voice, ‘It seems that you don’t like me. You don’t even treat me as your wife…”
Frowning, Oliver mulled over her words. It was true that he did not like her as she was forced upon him by Marjorie. However, it seemed like he did not dislike her as much as he thought.
Natalie was like an obedient cat in front of him, hiding her sharp claws under her docile façade. Oliver thought that perhaps keeping her around would not only mean having a cook but also having a pet.
“Listen to me, Natalie. I won’t harm you.”
“OK.”
Natalie rested her hands on the white birch railing behind her. At the same time, she wondered if Oliver would kill her once he found out she was a fake and that Hailey, the legitimate heir, should have been his wife.
“Come here, Oliver said. His expression was indifferent, a mischievous gleam dancing in his eyes.
Natalie took a deep breath before walking over. She smiled stiffly, “Mr. Oliver?”
Oliver handed the gun to Natalie, causing her hands to tremble.
“Mr. Oliver, you’re not ordering me to shoot myself, right?”
Oliver burst into laughter when he saw the timid expression on her face. At the same time, he realized that she was not pretending to be foolish in the past. She really was a fool.
After a brief moment, Oliver said, “It’s a gift for you.”
The cold gun only retained a trace of warmth from Oliver’s body heat, but Natalie felt she was holding a scalding pot.
“I… Can I refuse this gift?”
Natalie truly had no interest in this dangerous weapon that almost killed Victoria.
Oliver raised an eyebrow. “Do you think you can?‘
“Thank you for the gift, Mr. Oliver!” Natalie said. However, she called him a psychopath and cursed him repeatedly in her head.
Adrian always hated Oliver. He was only three years older than Adrian. When they were little, as a genius, Oliver surpassed him in both intelligence and background
Moreover, after the incident when Oliver was 15, Oliver started using violence to control the entire family. For this reason, Adrian still did not dare to openly defy Oliver
Adrian ignored Hailey as he was worried about Victoria. He quickly made his way to the study to call the hospital.
On the other hand, Oliver’s figure occupied Hailey’s mind. She couldn’t get over how confident he looked when he fired the gun as soon as he entered the room. He had stood firm in front of the high and mighty Windsor family. Nobody had been as domineering as him.
Coincidentally, Oliver was descending the staircase at this moment, a silver mask securely on his face. As soon as Hailey saw him, she quickly approached him without thinking.

Mh. Olliven‘
Oliver stopped in this trade and looked at Hailey, his hazel eyes cold as ice.
Hailey stood in front of Oliver and said with a sweet smile, “Hello, Mr. Oliver, I’m Hailey, Natalie’s sister.”
Oliver casually placed his hand in his pocket, his cold gaze landing on Hailey.
However, upom a closer look, there was a flash of impatience in his eyes.
He said nothing, but this grane was wling Bailey why she stopped him.
Mr. Oliven, Natalie has always therem spoxilled. Her mother failed to teach her to be a lady before she returned to the Watson family. Please forgive her if she has offended you in any way, Mulley said, never looking away from Oliver’s eyes.
Oliver’s eyes were deep and calm, beutiful like the stars, and capable of captivating one’s soul. They held a deadly allure to women.
