Chapter 649 Gossip
The crowd was astonished. The couple had been distant towards each other at the event, so why was Oliver spending so much money on Natalie?
Apart from that, the fashion world saw an exceptional surge in purchases. While it was common for established designers to witness such enthusiasm, it was unusual for a newcomer like Flora to attract this level of attention during her debut.
The young elites of Paykston were at the forefront of this buying spree. If they could not obtain the final piece, they aimed for the opening one, and if not that, then they would choose another.
It was expected for young women to buy the dresses, but there were many young men trying to buy the dresses as well. When asked about their interest in Flora’s collection, all of them casually said it was to support Natalie.
To support Natalie's comeback, they naturally had to make a statement. Moreover, Flora's designs were indeed striking and unique. Their behavior was not surprising.
The others were perplexed by the responses, wondering if the young elites had been brainwashed by Natalie.
As everyone was attempting to understand the situation, another startling revelation emerged:
Natalie was discovered backstage, locked in a fervent kiss with an unidentified man!
The tabloids shared photos, one of which captured the man holding Natalie’s waist as he kissed her passionately. The man’s face was hidden, but his tall and well-proportioned figure indicated that he was attractive.
What particularly caught the eye, however, was the Patek Philippe watch on the man’s left wrist—a rare global edition worth millions. The brand of his suit was not clear, but the fabric's quality and the tailoring suggested it was custom-made. And the luxury car he owned was in a price range that matched his watch.
Natalie's appearance in the show was breathtaking. The impeccable gown that was the highlight of the collection was very recognizable. As such, even though her face was not clearly seen, people quickly identified her through the dress.
Another image showed her holding a bouquet as she made her way backstage.
Subsequent reports from the media confirmed that Natalie indeed returned backstage with flowers. However, despite their efforts, entertainment journalists could not discover the identity of the mysterious man, which only intensified the speculation.
The internet and high society were abuzz with attempts to identify this mysterious figure.
…
Oliver, seated in his office, opened the fan group he was a part of, where speculation about the man's identity was also rampant.
Someone commented that the mysterious man was a businessman who had once openly pursued Natalie, since he had attended the show and had also attempted to buy the closing dress.
Oliver’s expression darkened when he read the following comments.
[No way, that person isn’t tall enough! He’s not even six feet! The man in the photo is clearly taller!]
[Could it be Roger Wild? I heard from a wealthy friend that Roger also tried to buy the dress. Roger is tall and has a good figure. This matches the person in the photo!]
Oliver’s expression further darkened, grumbling inwardly, ‘Why hasn’t anyone guessed that it was me? Am I not tall? Is my figure not good? What kind of photographer took this photo anyway? My face can’t be seen at all, only my face! How could he become a photographer with such skills?’
Oliver continued reading the comment.
[I’ll make a wild guess! Could it be Oliver?]
[Girl, stop dreaming! How could it be Oliver? He didn’t even look at Natalie at the afterparty! Although I’d love for it to be Oliver, I don’t think it’s possible!]
A few people agreed with the comment.
Oliver set his document aside and focused on his phone, challenging the indecisive crowd.
[Oliver: Why is it impossible? You all were convinced just a short while ago with the summer camp photos that it was him with Natalie, and now you say it is impossible?]
[Even though we all hope it’s Oliver, it just doesn’t seem possible! Think about it, would Oliver, the heir to the Windsor family and CEO of RK Group, ever remarry someone after divorcing them? Even if he did, he would never allow the media to release those photos. Can you imagine how that would affect his image?]
After arranging for the paparazzi photos to be taken and released, Oliver continued.
[Oliver: Then tell me, why did he buy the dress for Natalie?]
[That’s easy. After all, Natalie did not ask for anything when they divorced. It’s not unreasonable for him to compensate her with that dress!]
Oliver was speechless again. He seldom felt as powerless as he did now. How could these people suddenly become so obtuse?
[Oliver: That man in the photo is undoubtedly Oliver!]
[How do you know? Inside information?]
[Oliver: You just need to know it’s Oliver and stop dragging other men into this!]
With this, Oliver, feeling pleased with himself, set his phone aside and returned to his work.
