Chapter 725 Qualification
In addition to online sources, similar rumors quickly spread within the elite circle, although the details were different. The young ladies and gentlemen in the elite circle all took photos with Natalie at night and posted them on their Lnsta accounts. This circle, although not large in size, had a high overlap, and after seeing several versions of the same scene photos, everyone was surprised to find that Oliver was not present!
Natalie seemed to have a good relationship with these wealthy second generations, but Oliver was not there! Someone privately asked who invited Natalie. The answer: it was them. They were then asked if Mr. Windsor didn't join them. The answer: no. Mr. Windsor indeed did not play games with them. Having Natalie and her assistant Casey was enough torture, did they really need Mr. Windsor to join the fun?
Mr. Windsor was the one who paid the bill in the end! The people involved knew the truth, but others didn't. Barrett received an invitation for a conversation from his father when he returned home.
"Did you guys play without Mr. Windsor today?" Mr. Sinclair asked his son. The elders were used to calling Oliver "Windsor" privately, although most of the time in Oliver's presence, they had to address him as "Mr. Windsor."
Barrett nodded, "Natalie didn't let him come at first." Because Natalie asked his brother to work diligently.
Mr. Windsor pondered, "We thought Mr. Windsor was lying when he said he didn't succeed in pursuing Natalie, but we didn't expect... this kid, Mr. Windsor, would end up like this!" He said it with a mix of sighing and watching a show.
Barrett: ?? No, dad, why do I have trouble understanding what you just said? Has the generation gap between us grown even larger?
"I had hoped for a good relationship between you and Cadence, but you ended up becoming buddies!" Mr. Sinclair said with frustration. "Apart from his background, if Natalie hadn't been married before, she would have been a decent choice. What a pity!"
Barrett jumped up in shock, "Am I just a toy that you and mom made for my brother? Are you trying to kill me or something?" Did he really have thoughts of attacking Natalie? Can any man just do that to someone like Natalie? And to top it off, she has Oliver by her side!
Couldn't he just enjoy life peacefully?
Mr. Sinclair: ??
The younger son's speech became increasingly difficult to understand, so Mr. Sinclair decided to communicate less with him.
Little did he know that by communicating less, a generation gap would arise.
Thus, news about Natalie and Oliver, who had a close relationship with many well-known socialites in the industry, as well as Oliver's unsuccessful pursuit of Natalie, spread throughout this circle in one evening.
By the time the second generation, who knew the truth, found out about this matter, they didn't know how to clarify or explain it anymore, as nobody would believe their explanations.
You say Oliver and Natalie had a good relationship?
Then why didn't Oliver come when you guys were playing?
Either Oliver didn't want to see Natalie, or Natalie didn't want to see Oliver, or there might be other reasons for the two not to appear in the same place?
Everyone: ... Well, as long as you're happy.
No need to explain anymore.
...
In the first stop of "Supermodel" in Paykston, half of the contestants were eliminated based on their final scores. The fifty remaining contestants, along with five mentors and key members of the organizing committee, flew to Tycoon City together the next day.
The specific location was a hotel near a forest park in Tycoon City, with the theme for this round being the forest.
The organizing committee arranged standard rooms for the contestants, while the mentors stayed in executive suites.
When the staff went to the front desk to check in, they were stunned. They called for Natalie: "Miss Watson, have you upgraded to a suite?"
Natalie thought something was wrong with her ears and was shocked: "This hotel is the most luxurious in Tycoon City. The price for a suite, including taxes and service fees, is nearly 80,000!"
80,000 in one night, and for a week it would be 560,000, plus tips.
600,000!
Although for models in their class, 600,000 wasn't considered much, money wasn't meant to be spent like this. Couldn't they buy a purse or a pair of shoes instead?
Natalie looked at Corkel strangely. How did he know so much about the hotels in Tycoon City?
But for now, they needed to resolve the room upgrade issue.
"When... when did I upgrade?" Natalie asked.
The front desk displayed a professional smile and said, "It was last night. There was a gentleman named Mr. Bryant who claimed to be your assistant. He handled the suite upgrade for you and the payment has already been made."
Assistant Bryant... It seems that Jamie has been doing this kind of work very skillfully recently.
"Oh, Assistant Bryant, I know. He used to work for you in Paykston," the committee staff had a good memory. "Miss Watson, shall we have someone send your luggage to your new room?"
"...Okay."
Natalie felt inexplicably arranged.
There was no need to guess that Oliver had ordered this suite upgrade.
"I want a suite too," a voice interjected.
Natalie turned her head and met Nora's arrogant expression as if saying, "It's just a suite. It's not like you're the only one who can afford it!"
"I'm sorry, ma'am, our suites can only be reserved by diamond VIP clients, which you are not," the front desk explained.
"Ha!" Cochran couldn't hold back his laughter at Nora, covering his mouth as he apologized. "I'm sorry, Nora. It was unintentional."
It was unintentional, but it was just too funny, he couldn't help it!
Nora was furious, her face turning red. She glared at Cochran and angrily asked the front desk, "How do you know I can't book it? I'll become a VIP right away!"
"I'm sorry, ma'am, our diamond VIP requires customers to provide proof of personal assets, occupational proof, social role proof, and other documents. You... may not meet the requirements," the front desk explained.
Nora, being a rich kid relying on her family, had mediocre personal assets, let alone any decent occupation or social role. At least she had to be a leader in a certain field.
"In that case, does she meet the qualifications?" Nora angrily pointed at Natalie.
The front desk responded, "If she doesn't meet the qualifications, we wouldn't have agreed to the suite upgrade. As for the information Miss Watson provided, it is not within your scope of inquiry."
Several contestants around couldn't help but glance at Natalie after hearing this.
This woman is indeed extraordinary!
But it wasn't surprising for someone who had stayed in a private villa before to now be able to upgrade to a suite.
"I have never encountered such rules when I was in Europe. What kind of nonsense rule is this?" Nora became furious and ashamed.
The front desk staff maintained a sincere smile and said, "If this young lady is dissatisfied with our hotel, she can return to spending her money in Europe."
Several people were directly amused by this scene, shaking their shoulders as they stifled their laughter.
Upon learning that Natalie had upgraded to a suite, Lilian accepted this reality very calmly.
After all, she was just a cousin, not like Natalie, who was considered a wife to Simon, let alone a real wife.
