Chapter 27
Oliver’s face instantly darkened. He grabbed Natalie’s delicate chin and forced her to meet his gaze.
Natalie held her breath, her clear eyes blinking rapidly. Her fluttering eyelashes exposed the fear in her heart.
Did she just say it casually? Oliver suddenly felt bored, released her, and turned to walk towards the main building.
“Oliver, where are you going?”
Follow me.”
Natalie followed behind him, her gaze falling on his mask. Was he intentionally hiding his true appearance?
Even the Windsor family didn’t know that he hadn’t been disfigured. He had kept it a secret since he was fifteen, for a whole ten years… Such a man was someone a powerful force to be reckoned with!
As Natalie tailed behind Oliver, they reached the main building. Victoria’s voice came from inside.
“Dad, let’s talk about Oliver. He never bothers to come home for family dinners, and now he marries someone who is not up to our standards at all. If he doesn’t show you respect, why should you? In my opinion, you can remove Ms. Norton from the family cemetery and give her spot to Mom!”
Natalie remembered that Oliver’s mother’s surname was Norton. Liam had told her.
Before Natalie could react, she saw Oliver take a step forward and raise his right hand…
A gunshot rang through the hall.
Victoria’s painful scream followed.
“Ms. Victoria!”
In an instant, the hall was in chaos with various loud sounds.
Victoria curled up on the ground in agony, her right leg trembling and blood gushing out from her wounded thigh.
By her side, Oliver stood coldly with a gun in his right hand, his expression indifferent and menacing, as if he were not the one who had just shot his sister.
“Mom!”
“Oliver!”
Recovering from the shock, Henry angrily kicked Oliver. He glared at Oliver like an enemy and said, “Have you gone crazy?!”
Seeing the man in a silver mask, others fell silent.
Except for Hailey, who was visiting the Windsor family for the first time, everyone else was watching Oliver in fear.
Oliver casually slid his hand into his pocket and calmly locked eyes with Henry. Obviously, he wasn’t intimidated by Henry.
Looking at the smug expression on Oliver’s face, Natalie sensed that he wasn’t afraid of anyone or anything at that moment.
“Dad, it hurts! My leg hurts!” Victoria trembled in pain and was drenched in cold sweat. But she still remembered that Henry was the only person who could save her.
A few seconds later, Henry averted his gaze in frustration and shouted, “Call a doctor!”
Nobody moves.” Oliver’s gaze lightly swept over the servants.
The servants lowered their heads and didn’t dare to continue their work.
“Victoria, I’ll call a doctor for you! Hailey had never met Oliver before. She thought, All the important figures in the Windsor family are here. This masked man couldn’t be more powerful than the prestigious Windsors.
This is my opportunity to show my worth as Victoria is Adrian’s mother. She’s gonna be my future mother–in–law!

Before Hailey could take a step, there was another gunshot.
“Ouch!”
Hailey screamed, her face turning pale with fear. Her legs buckled violently and she didn’t dare to move.
A black bullet was lodged in her shoe, narrowly missing her foot. There was a hole in her wide–legged pants.
Oliver shot Hailey a look sarcastically, confident that she wouldn’t try to help Victoria again. He handed the gun to Natalie and commanded, “Take it.”
“OK.” Natalie blinked and received the gun with both hands. The scorching heat from the barrel nearly burned her trembling hands.
“Uncle Oliver, how could you shoot Mom? Get a doctor for her immediately!”
