Chapter 29
“Take her to the room.”
“Yes,” the maid replied before she gestured for Natalie to follow. “Madam, this way please.”
Natalie followed the maid upstairs without complaint.
Meanwhile, Hailey had been staring at Oliver since he shot her. At first, her gaze was filled with fear. However, her curiosity and her desire for conquest gradually won over. For some reason, she started having strong feelings for Oliver.
“Oliver, follow me to the study,” Henry huffed in a low voice.
Having no interest in speaking to Henry, Oliver scoffed and walked away.
Oliver’s repeated humiliation made Henry’s face turn red in anger, his chest rising and falling rapidly.
“Adrian, who is that man?” Hailey could not help but ask as she watched Oliver’s tall figure walk away.
That man was taller than Adrian and had a more imposing aura. Not to mention that Adrian was wary of him. Before that night, Adrian was the most Joutstanding man Hailey had seen in her twenty–one years of life. But this man had changed her mind.
To the Windsor family, Oliver was indeed a rabid dog.
“He’s Oliver!” Adrian spat. “What a rabid dog!”
‘He…He’s Oliver?! Hailey covered her mouth in shock.
She thought, ‘No wonder he’s wearing a mask. He has been disfigured.
‘However, he looks quite fit, not frail at all. A fine man like him… If it weren’t for that accident ten years ago, he would definitely be popular!‘
Hailey still remembered her first encounter with Oliver when she was young. He was remarkable, both in looks and talent.
She thought, ‘What a pity…‘
Adrian was still seething. He grew angrier when he saw the wistful look on Hailey’s face. He asked, “What’s wrong?”
Hailey quickly reined in her emotions and exclaimed angrily, “Nothing! That man is so arrogant! Who does he think he is, ordering us around? He was just an outcast in the family, right?”
After learning Oliver’s identity, Hailey was irritated by his dominant position in the Windsor family as Adrian was completely overshadowed by him.
That man was…her ex–fiancé!
There was no way that she could remain calm when her former fiancé defeated her current boyfriend with his presence alone!
Adrian was annoyed, and his patience was running thin. He thought, ‘What a stupid woman! Irritated by Hailey’s complaints, he said rudely, “Shut up! Stay away from him. Don’t provoke him. You don’t know what he’s capable of. If he goes after you, no one will be able to save you!”
Hailey was initially puzzled by Adrian’s behavior, but she quickly figured out the reason behind his anger. After all, she knew how to read the room quite well.
Wrapping her arms around Adrian’s waist, she cooed, ‘Adrian, I know you’re only putting up with Oliver because he’s your uncle and he’s rather pitiful. Moreover, he’s disfigured, and he won’t live for long. In a year or two, he won’t even deserve to talk to you.”
Her words made Adrian think, ‘Indeed. Even though the Norton family is powerful. So what? It won’t support Oliver forever. He is disliked by the Windsor family, and the Norton has its own heir. Now, with the powerful Norton family, he acts like he has no fear in the world, but he doesn’t dare to harm the Windsor family.
Oliver is bound to be a complete loser!
The maid led Natalie to a room at the end of the second floor. Looking inside, she was greeted by the familiar Gothic decor reminiscent of the Rosewood Estate. The room faced east, offering excellent lighting and a view of an artificial lake.

Chapter 29
“Is this Oliver’s room?” Natalie stood at the doorway without entering.
“Yes.
Natalie didn’t know how to explain to the maid that she and Oliver were not a real couple and shouldn’t share a room.
However, remembering Oliver’s cruel treatment toward the disobedient Windsors, Natalie didn’t dare to voice any objection.
“Can I ask a question?‘ Natalie asked.
“Mrs. Windsor, please feel free to ask, the maid replied respectfully.
“Is it really okay for Oliver to treat Victoria like that?” Natalie questioned.
“Mrs. Windsor, don’t worry. Mr. Oliver will be fine, the maid reassured with a smile, thinking that she was worried about Oliver.
Although Mr. Oliver is not favored by Sir Windsor, he is still a proud member of the Windsor family. In old times, he would be the legitimate heir and naturally have a higher status than Ms. Victoria. Sir Windsor cannot dispose of Mr. Oliver at will, as the elders of the family would not agree. Moreover, the Norton family, Mr. Oliver’s mom’s family, is even more powerful than the Windsor family. This isn’t the first time Oliver has taught a Windsor a lesson.”
