Chapter 264 Oliver Is The Devil
“Hailey is mistaken as the culprit, causing Noah to break down emotionally… Hailey’s actions also negatively impacted Adrian…” Natalie murmured to herself. Then, a thought appeared in her mind, and she said, “Now that someone took the blame, Edwin also took control of the Windsor family. I don’t think you’re going to willingly hand the Windsor family over to Edwin, right?”
Oliver had no attachment to the Windsor family, and he never harmed the Windsor group since the inception of RK Group. Clearly, he had no intention of destroying the Windsor family. It was unlikely that he would hand it over to someone he disliked.
“You’re right, but that’s not all,” Oliver said, lifting Natalie's chin before he added, “Do you want to know everything? If so, give me a kiss first.”
Oliver did not realize how much Natalie's mood affected his own. When she felt low, dark clouds seemed to loom over him. Conversely, when she was happy, he shared in her joy.
Natalie was about to kiss him but stopped herself just in time. With a serious expression, she declared, "Forget it. There’s no need for you to say anything."
After her declaration, she attempted to leave Oliver's lap, showing a petulant expression that clearly said, “If you don’t want to tell me, then I don’t want to know.”
"Come back here!" Oliver drew her back into his embrace, kissing her. If she did not want to kiss him, then he would kiss her.
"I plan to leave the Windsor family to Arthur. If Edwin is gone, who’s going to manage the family in Arthur’s absence?”
Once Arthur returned, Edwin would have to face punishment. For now, Oliver had crafted an illusion for Edwin.
"If Edwin is found guilty, Henry will definitely transfer all the shares to Adrian. This will allow Adrian to manage the Harrington Group as well," Oliver explained further, "If Henry did not think Edwin was reliable, he wouldn’t have entrusted Edwin with his shares. In any case, Henry’s decision would only make it easier for RK Group to control the Windsor Group.”
“Wyatt and Isaac are busy acquiring shares. Additionally, the Windsor Group has numerous subsidiary branches, and my uncles are poised to capitalize on any opportunity. Adrian is naively underestimating them; he lacks the ability to deal with them."
Oliver paused. His expression turned to one of scorn and disgust as he said, “As for Hailey, she brought this upon herself.”
Natalie gasped in shock; her eyes wide with admiration. "You planned all this after Victoria's death?"
‘Such extensive planning from just one event?’
Oliver shook his head. "Even before that."
Initially, Oliver had no intention of divulging more. He usually preferred to keep his plans to himself, but he changed his mind when he saw Natalie’s reaction. He found pleasure in the admiration shining in her eyes.
"That small knife was the catalyst. It was the weapon Henry used to end Madison's life, intensifying his guilt toward Victoria and leading him to comply with Victoria's demand to split the family assets. This, in turn, angered Edwin, whom Victoria had always treated with disdain since their youth. Victoria must have provoked Edwin that night, igniting the situation like a spark to powder.”
"By using Edwin to deal with Victoria, the incident with the little knife drew attention to the scandals and speculations surrounding the two deaths among the elite. Subsequently, Henry faced legal action.”
"With Victoria's passing, either Edwin or Hailey had to take the fall. Either way, it would lead to the Harrington family's downfall, allowing the Windsor Group to seize the remaining market share from the Harrington family.”
"In the end, the Windsor Group under Edwin's management would be given to Arthur. Moreover, Adrian uncovering Victoria's role in contracting a hitman was also a pleasant surprise."
"... Oliver, you’re diabolical!" Natalie exclaimed. She fell silent for a minute as she comprehended the full extent of his machinations.
‘His calculations and cunning are terrifying!’
Oliver gently pinched Natalie's cheek. "No more tantrums, okay?”
"I didn’t throw a tantrum… How could I ever dare to throw a tantrum in front of you?” Natalie denied, looking away.
Oliver clicked his tongue, amused by the joy dancing in her eyes. He felt like kissing her, and he did.
Suddenly, their positions were reversed. Natalie found herself lying on the sofa, while Oliver loomed over her, one hand supporting his weight and the other gently cradling her head as he leaned in to kiss her passionately.
Caught in a whirlwind of emotions, Natalie felt as though she was floating. Before she knew it, she was lying on the bed. Oliver hovered over her, and she could see his intense gaze.
"You’re injured!” Natalie exclaimed, pushing him away gently.
“It doesn’t matter. Only my arm is injured,” Oliver said before he leaned down to kiss her again.
…
