Chapter 789 The Couple That I Ship Is Real!
Oliver's response was straightforward, and his conclusion was domineering. His presence was so commanding that for a while, no one dared to pose another question.
Natalie was momentarily stunned, her level of astonishment matching that of everyone else around her.
He had delivered his words with such directness and brevity!
Holding her forehead, Natalie was at a loss for how to react. Her eyes wandered to Nola, only to catch a glimpse of jealousy etched on her face. She could not help but wonder, 'Is being the other woman a trait in Nola's family? Does she want to be the other woman so badly?'
Regardless of the tumult inside Nola’s head, she had continuously provoked Natalie. Natalie, however, was not one to be trifled with.
‘Just wait and see!’
After the revelations at the competition venue, Natalie swiftly returned to her suite as the event concluded, not allowing anyone to keep her there.
Luckily, the guests today only had Natalie’s email address. Those seeking business collaborations typically reached out via email. Therefore, after her timely departure, her phone remained silent.
Indeed, some considered visiting her room to draw her out for inquiries.
When they approached the head of the organizing committee, they learned that Natalie’s accommodation had not been arranged by them. They then turned to the hotel staff.
"You mean Miss Watson?" a hotel employee said with a chuckle, "Even if I gave you her room number, you wouldn't be able to reach her."
He pointed upward as he said, "She’s in the deluxe suite on the top floor."
The top two floors of Moon Hotel housed the presidential suites. A few rooms on the top floor were privately owned by a select few individuals. In other words, not everyone at the hotel was privileged to access those levels.
Upon hearing this, everyone sighed in resignation.
Although Natalie skipped the evening's party, she remained the center of attention.
The gathering buzzed with two main topics:
First, the identity of the person seated in the east side of the VIP seats.
Some recognized Oliver, sensing his significance extended beyond just being a member of a prominent family, but they could not pinpoint where they had seen him before. On the other hand, those familiar with Oliver remained silent; after all, discretion is a hallmark of the elite.
Second, the discussions revolved around Natalie's exceptional performance when translating for Mr. Smith.
"Actually, Natalie didn't volunteer; someone pushed her into it at the last minute," a woman chimed in.
"Doris!"
Someone recognized the speaker. As the daughter of the co-owner of Moon Hotel, Doris was a familiar face.
"What do you mean by that?"
It appeared there was more to the story.
"Mr. Smith’s translator had an emergency and couldn’t attend. Five minutes before Mr. Smith was due to speak, Nola secretly pushed Natalie forward to interpret. Natalie didn’t even know until they called her name," Doris explained, casting a significant look toward Nola, who was engaged in a conversation nearby and oblivious to the fact that her scheme had been revealed.
"Oh my goodness! Is that true? Nola is that cunning?"
"I wouldn't necessarily call her cunning, but—" Doris paused, lowering her voice for effect as she said, "Do you all remember the store manager who made things difficult for Natalie on the broadcast? I’ve seen him around Nola. Initially, the organizer thought Natalie couldn’t speak French. It was a misinformation provided by Nola."
The crowd gasped in shock.
"In light of this, I'm even more impressed with Natalie. Not just her professional skills in translating tonight, but also her mental resilience. I’ve heard she comes from a humble background, yet she’s more outstanding than many who were born with every advantage."
Immediately, Doris began to extol Natalie's virtues. "Yes! Natalie is fluent in German, French, and English, and she also knows Latin, can ride horses, play golf, and fence!"
"I just remembered that Nola’s aunt was once the mistress of someone quite influential. Could it be that Nola also wants to be Mr. Windsor’s mistress and targeted Natalie on purpose?" someone speculated aloud.
"That does make sense," others murmured in agreement.
When Nola realized the shift in how people were looking at her, noticing hints of disdain, she was taken aback.
"What were you just talking about? You seemed rather unfriendly," Leo approached and asked Doris quietly.
Doris shrugged, a look of smug satisfaction on her face. "Just being a competent and upright fan!"
Leo was left bewildered by her response.
Doris chose not to waste words with a man who could not discern the schemes of a woman with malicious intent.
…
The conclusion of the Supermodel competition immediately sparked a fervent discussion.
Traditionally, the audience for Supermodel primarily consisted of individuals from the fashion and entertainment industries, with some from the upper echelons of society tuning in as well. This time, however, the event caused a sensation across the entirety of Forinland.
Noah: [Natalie!]
After the competition, Natalie returned to her suite and was greeted by a flurry of texts from Noah. Among the more than ten messages filled mostly with expressions of excitement, the only substantive message advised her to check Instagram.
Feeling uneasy, Natalie quickly went online and discovered that the tag 'Natalie and Oliver' was trending at number one.
A trending video captured a clip of Oliver holding a microphone and responding to a question. His demeanor was composed, his face showing a faint trace of tenderness. His tone was clear, firm, and without any hint of hesitation.
At the moment it happened, Natalie was too stunned to notice other details. Now, as she watched the video again, she was even more astonished.
Oliver's gaze was undeniably focused on her.
She realized that his response was not just to a question but a declaration to everyone that Natalie was his beloved.
[Let me translate for everyone. Oliver was saying, "I'm Oliver. Natalie is my beloved. I came here specifically to see my beloved Natalie, not to watch this competition. The person who kissed Natalie during the broadcast was me, not someone else. Stop guessing randomly! The crucial question has been explained, and I don't want to say anything else. This is the end!"]
[The first comment gets full marks for translation!]
[I just told inquisitive foreign netizens that they are a couple and invited them to support them with us, hahaha!]
[The couple that I ship is real! It's true! I'm tired of saying this sentence! Do you believe it now?]
