Chapter 690 Matching Couple Outfits
The most perfect declaration of love was quoted on the internet. "In my heart, she's always been my wife." Sighs of admiration filled the online space as fans expressed their belief in the couple's genuine love. Some began to pity Mr. Windsor, suspecting that he might be harboring an unrequited love, especially since Natalie seemed focused solely on her career.
Despite the anomalies present, individuals showcased detective-like intellect and keen observational skills reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot. A jewelry influencer swiftly shared a photo of Natalie leaving the courtroom, wearing a diamond necklace and bracelet resembling a set once owned by European royals.
If memory served right, this set was auctioned three years ago for thirty million to a European lady who later gifted it to Mrs. Windsor, a matriarch of a prominent family with the Windsor surname.
Further, a photo of the jewelry set displayed at an exclusive European charity auction was attached. The transaction was no secret among high society; the European lady had intended the gift for Mrs. Windsor, hoping she would help match her daughter with Arthur, a member of the Windsor family.
But in the end, Mrs. Windsor kept the jewelry without making any introductions.
Some criticized Mrs. Windsor for her thick-skinned nature, which seemed to grow with age. She had no issue accepting gifts without reciprocating the expected favors.
At the time, Marjorie played innocent, exclaiming, "Ah? Set up a meeting? Mrs. Allen never made her intentions clear to me. How could an old lady like me guess the hearts of the young? Besides, if I had known the Allens were trying to secure a place for their daughter within my family for a mere thirty million, why would I have accepted the jewelry? Forget it, I'll just return it."
Returned gifts were extremely rare. Mrs. Allen faced the dilemma of not only losing the jewelry but also having to apologize to Marjorie while pretending she was unaware of any matchmaking efforts.
Those with keen insight recognized Marjorie's cunning. Understanding that Mrs. Allen's daughter had a reputation for romantic escapades comparable to any man's, it was clear she would not be accepted by the Windsor family. Marjorie's actions were a shrewd strategic retreat.
Soon, another netizen posted.
Netizen: [Look what I found! [Photo][Photo]]
One picture showed Natalie and Oliver, masked, at an amusement park, their backs in view as they played. The embroidered birds on their shirts stood out conspicuously.
The other photo showed Oliver at Regal Retreat, his back to the camera but turning his head as if looking at someone. Most of his face was in view, unmistakable as Mr. Windsor.
And most importantly, he was wearing that embroidered bird shirt. Thus, confirmed it was Oliver!
Netizens commented.
[Wow! Matching outfits?]
[I always thought the aloof and noble Mr. Windsor would find matching outfits kind of dumb, let alone ones that are typical of cliches... Feeling the indulgence Mr. Windsor has for Natalie!]
[Am I the only one who notices how tender Oliver's gaze is... Who is he looking at? Is it Natalie? Is it?!]
[You're not alone, sister! Mom, I am so totally shipping this!]
[Forgive my poor eyesight; I never realized they were wearing matching outfits and thought they were just ordinary shirts. They surely make anything they wear look good.]
[Ordinary shirts? Those clothes were from the exclusive brand of the former head designer at A-house, the hit of the season, both pieces together worth a five-figure sum.]
[...And here I am with a humble smile of the poor.]
Within less than ten minutes, Natalie and Oliver's matching shirts sold out domestically, with prices skyrocketing to nearly three times the original.
Netizens posted.
[Although my boyfriend would probably look ugly in this shirt, especially after seeing Oliver wear it, which makes my boyfriend seem even uglier, I still want the Natalie-Oliver matching set!]
[I don't have a boyfriend, but that won't stop me from wearing one and hanging one up…]
["I'm a fan of the couple; buying merch is my duty!]
[...Wait, are all netizens this rich?]
Meanwhile, after sharing this revealing photo, Alex slowly put down his phone with a smile that hid more than it revealed.
