Chapter 746 You have no right to judge.
Little did they know that Natalie and Oliver were still married, and they all thought Natalie was single.
It was only natural for a single and outstanding woman to be pursued.
However, Leo's attempt was unsuccessful, so it could only be regarded as a regretful anecdote.
"Leo, did you really... confess to Natalie?" One of the male models who was Leo's friend and knew his true background was very surprised.
Leo shook his head, "It wasn't a confession, it was a self-recommendation."
Confession, he wasn't worthy of it.
"Oh my god! Then she must not know that you're Mr. Robert's son. If all the girls who pursue you lined up along the Champs-Élysées, it would be packed!" Leo felt like this friend was here to pierce his heart.
"She should know. Her lover is much more impressive than me."
The friend was skeptical, "Aren't you already a top aristocrat?"
Leo said, "Natalie's lover can call my father and have me brought back to Europe. Do you think I still have a chance?"
"Well... then definitely not."
See, this guy is here to stab my heart!
Several perceptive foreigners noticed that the staff in this country had a strange attitude towards Natalie, even a blind confidence. They secretly asked about it and were stunned by the answers they received.
In comparison, it seemed that Miss Nora was... um, unattractive.
But considering Nora's temper and personality, no one revealed this information to her.
"Big sister, isn't cousin coming tonight?"
The competition was about to start, and Lilian originally wanted to go to the audience seats to find Oliver to sit together. Because her sister-in-law was only giving scores on stage as a mascot, and she wouldn't walk the runway or give comments, it was boring for Lilian to sit there alone.
It was also boring to be with Casey because Casey was a boring person.
However, Lilian couldn't find Oliver after searching around.
"Uh, he has something to do," Natalie said. Oliver told her last night that he couldn't come tonight.
"Why does he always have something to do?" Lilian pouted and said disappointedly, "He didn't come last time during the competition, and now he's not coming again."
Natalie chuckled and comforted the little girl, "He is the CEO of a big conglomerate, very busy with work. But I also don't know what he's busy with this time."
"Where is he busy?" Lilian snorted, "Clearly Charles is even busier."
Natalie...couldn't argue anymore for her husband, who often neglected his duties.
"Natalie, don't you even ask what's going on with your cousin?" Lilian tried to tiptoe, but still couldn't reach Natalie's ear. She whispered, "Natalie, you should have accurate information about your cousin's whereabouts to prevent him from wandering around."
"...Where did you learn this stuff?"
"On TV!"
Natalie lightly tapped the little girl's head, "Stop watching those messy things! Relationships should be built on trust, not suspicion, okay?"
Having considered Natalie's point, Lilian nodded in agreement.
She always found this method of mutual suspicion and control unreliable. Like her and Lucas, was it only her whereabouts that could be known?
It was not scientific or feasible at all!
Natalie indeed had no concerns about Oliver.
In the high society circles, many women spent their days trying to find out their husbands' true information, guarding against infidelity and mistresses, and finding ways to check their husbands' phones and track their activities.
Former Mrs. Watson treated Robert in this way, but in the end, Robert still cheated and found a new love.
To be daring, even when Robert had a good relationship with Mrs. Watson, he must have indulged outside countless times.
Are these things really preventable by vigilance?
In Natalie's opinion, if disloyalty is discovered, it should not be tolerated, but there is no need for suspicion either.
"Sir, everything has been arranged at the prison," Jamie opened the car door and invited Oliver to get in.
Oliver was wearing casual clothes, a stark contrast to his usual formal attire.
"Uh," he responded.
"But," Jamie added, "the Hastings family should be waiting for you at the prison gate."
"Let them wait," Oliver sneered.
Susan's place of service was in the prison in Tycoon City, which was considered top-notch in the city, so it was normal for the Hastings family to have access to information.
Jamie didn't have to guess, the members of the Hastings family were indeed waiting for Oliver at the prison gate.
Today, only Mr. Hastings Senior and Samuel came over.
The elderly man with gray hair stood at the prison gate with a cane, supported by Samuel.
Cars couldn't drive in, so they had to walk; otherwise, the Hastings family would have no chance to talk to Oliver.
"Oliver!" Mr. Hastings Senior called out to Oliver from a distance, a smile forming on his wrinkled face. "What a coincidence."
Since the fallout between the two sides due to Susan and Natalie's affairs, Oliver had no patience to engage with the Hastings family.
"Not a coincidence, you came here to hound me."
Mr. Hastings Senior was stunned. He didn't expect Oliver to be so direct and disrespectful, but he wasn't too embarrassed either. At his age, even if he didn't grow anything else, at least he should have grown a thick skin.
"Oliver, you came to visit Susan, right?" Mr. Hastings Senior acted as if he hadn't heard Oliver's previous remark and continued with a smile. "You see, because of Susan's case, our long-standing relationship has been severed. Now, don't you think it's unnecessary? It's not too late to mend things. After all, there have been cases where defendants were acquitted after being found guilty. Let's not dwell on the grievances Susan previously endured."
Jamie was shocked as he listened from the side.
How could there be such shameless old man in the world?
"You don't dwell on it?" Oliver calmly asked, changing the topic, his tone turning cold. "You don't have the qualification or opportunity to dwell on it either."
"Mr. Windsor! Are you really going to be this ruthless?" Mr. Hastings Senior widened his angry eyes.
In fact, he had no choice but to confront Oliver. Originally, they thought that since their granddaughter was serving in Tycoon City, the Hastings family could tamper with things a bit and easily meet the criteria for a reduced sentence. It wasn't impossible to reduce a five-year sentence to just one year.
However, when they actually tried to manipulate the situation, they realized that Oliver had already made arrangements for strict sentencing standards. The Hastings family had no room to intervene!
Oliver made the Hastings family feel the taste of having a loved one right in front of them but unable to protect them, making Susan see hope but unable to reach it.
It was like the heartache and pain he experienced when Susan repeatedly got physical with Natalie.
"Mr. Hastings Senior, our relationship is only based on my grandmother, and now she stands on the side of her daughter-in-law. What right do you have to talk to me about a relationship?"
