Chapter 30
A family that was more powerful than the Windsor family? Natalie didn’t remember hearing of a Norton family in the country, so it could only be…a noble family from abroad!
Natalie suppressed her doubts and stopped asking any more questions.
Charles quickly returned to Oliver’s side. Then, he whispered, “Mr. Oliver, I found something.”
Oliver glanced at the servant next to him, and the servant swiftly stepped back. Oliver said, “Continue.”
“The woman who used to go around telling people she was going to marry you was indeed not Mrs. Windsor. It was Hailey. She was also your original fiancée,” Charles said. “However, after your accident, Hailey stopped telling people that she was your fiancée. Over the years, people had forgotten which daughter from the Watson family was engaged to you. In the end, they asked Mrs. Windsor to take Hailey’s place to marry you.”
Anyone who had a sound mind would deduce that Hailey obviously was reluctant to marry Oliver after his accident. Therefore, the Watson family married Natalie to Oliver, the bastard daughter that nobody liked.
Charles thought, If Hailey finds out the truth about Mr. Oliver in the future, she’ll regret her decision for the rest of her life.‘
Oliver narrowed his eyes, a flash of mockery dancing in his gaze. “So they sent me a replacement?”
“Yes,” Charles replied and asked, “Mr. Oliver, are you gonna punish the Watson family?”
“Not yet.”
The refreshing scent of eucalyptus permeated the room. The captive scent was the same as Oliver’s scent.
The room was immaculate, but it didn’t look live in. Clearly, it had been empty for a long time.
Natalie did not dare touch Oliver’s belongings. She made her way to the balcony and admired the view.
“What are you looking at?” A voice came behind her.
Natalie jumped, turned around, and saw Oliver entering the room.
He was dressed in a black, pinstriped shirt today with matching trousers. Standing in the gothic–style room, he was like a hybrid of an angel and a demon from Western legends, a handsome, mysterious, and captivating creature.
“Just admiring the view,” Natalie replied and pointed at the table. She added, “Your gun is on the table.” Her eyes widened as Oliver walked toward her instead of the table
table.
As for Oliver, he noticed that Natalie subconsciously scooted back with each step he took.
Shame that there was a waist–high railing behind her, so she couldn’t escape,
Oliver casually sat down on the bed, crossing his long legs leisurely, his hands resting at the sides, exuding a domineering air. He asked, “Are you afraid of me?”
Natalie instinctively shook her head. However, she felt her act seemed fake. So, she nodded and said, ‘A little.”
She thought, He shot two people without batting an eyelid earlier, Anyone will be afraid of him.
“How did you feel when you saw your ex–boyfriend? Oliver asked. It didn’t escape his notice that Natalie’s expression stiffened.
“Mr. Oliver, L… Natalie trailed off. She licked her lips, unsure of the intention behind his question. After a moment, she said, ‘I was not aware of Adrian’s background when we were dating. I was also unaware of his relationship with you when I married you.”
Oliver knew what kind of person Adrian was. Adrian had a long dating history. He started chasing girls very young, and he was just as young when he lost his virginity. All the while, he would pretend to be an upstanding gentleman.
Oliver witnessed Adrian’s conversation with Natalie in the garden. He was surprised that Adrian indeed had genuine feelings for Natalie.

When Oliver recalled Adrian’s loving gaze and tone toward Natalie, he felt sick, as if someone was eyeing his possession.
Meanwhile, when Natalie saw Oliver’s gloomy expression, she continued to say, “Mr. Oliver, Adrian and I are over. I know my position. Don’t worry. I won’t do anything that will…bring shame to my current duty.”
Oliver felt a twinge of discomfort when Natalie implied that being his wife was merely a duty. He asked knowingly, “What is your duty??”
