Chapter 6 Adrian is Mine!

'Did she just pour hot coffee on herself?'

Natalie was puzzled and wondered why Hailey would do such a thing. Then, she heard a man's anxious growl from behind her, "Hailey!"

A tall and handsome man rushed in, pushing Natalie aside and nervously holding Hailey in his arms. "Hailey, are you okay? Does it hurt?"

As Natalie was shoved, her lower back hit the edge of the table, which was quite painful.

However, the physical pain was nothing compared to the stabbing pain in her heart.

Natalie looked at the familiar man before her, and the intense and unbearable scene from half a month ago flashed through her mind.

She had caught Hailey and Adrian, her boyfriend who had claimed to love her forever, in the act. It had unexpectedly become the reason she must marry Oliver for Hailey. Since Hailey and Adrian belonged together now.

"Adrian, it hurts so much! My hand is burning! What if it leaves a scar? I'm a model. I can't have scars!" Hailey whined in tears as she buried her face in Adrian's arms.

The coffee wouldn't cause a scar with appropriate treatment since the temperature was not too high. Hailey would just feel the pain for a moment.

"Baby, don't worry, I won't let you have any scars," Adrian reassured Hailey. He intended to hold the woman who had bullied his girlfriend accountable, but as soon as he turned his head, he froze.

"Nat... Natalie?!"

Adrian looked at Natalie with surprise, completely losing the fierce demeanor he had just shown.

Adrian had pursued Natalie first, chasing her for almost half a year before she agreed. Natalie was reserved and cautious, and even after two months together, all they did was hold hands and hug.

At the same time, Hailey often tried to win Adrian over, and Adrian knew exactly what Hailey wanted.

So, that night, when Hailey asked him to have a drink, they ended up sleeping with each other. It was at that pivotal moment when Natalie returned home and caught them in the act.

"Natalie, did I push you too hard just now? I didn't mean to. Are you hurt?" Adrian let go of Hailey and approached Natalie.

Hailey, afraid that Adrian still had feelings for Natalie, clung tightly to Adrian's waist and said, "Natalie, I know you're not happy with me and Adrian being together, but you can't pour hot coffee on me! Besides, you're already married to Oliver. You're Oliver's woman now! Please don't ruin my relationship with Adrian!"

The Harrington family was the second most prestigious family after the Windsor family.

So, Adrian Harrington, handsome and romantic, seemed a perfect match for Hailey.

Hailey knew Adrian very well. He was arrogant and proud. He preferred women to be dependent on him, and he could not tolerate a woman being unfaithful to him.

As expected, the apologetic look on Adrian's face vanished, replaced by a mocking and disgusted gaze toward Natalie, as if she hurt someone first and then pretended to be innocent.

"Natalie, what happened between Hailey and me that night was a misunderstanding. You never let me explain myself. You chose to marry Oliver because of your vanity. So, I'll never be with you again. I love Hailey now!"

He had only slept with Hailey once. There wasn't any single man in the world who hadn't had a few past relationships! Only women like Natalie would make a big deal out of it.

"Natalie, apologize to Hailey now."

"Vanity?" Natalie exclaimed, pointing at herself in disbelief.

She realized that, in Adrian's eyes, her forced marriage to Oliver was seen as an act of vanity.

"Isn't it true?" Adrian sneered. "Natalie, don't deny what you did! Apologize to Hailey now!"

Hailey nestled in Adrian's arms, casting a contemptuous and provocative glance at Natalie where Adrian couldn't see.

Natalie couldn't help but laugh mockingly.

Fine, then!

Now she knew the true face of Adrian!

Such a man was not worthy of her love!

"Adrian, listen up, I would rather marry Oliver than marry you," Natalie picked up her bag and headed toward the door. "And as for an apology, it's not going to happen! I hope you guys are happy together!"

Adrian gritted his teeth, reluctantly watching Natalie walk away. Her graceful and enchanting figure was a fatal attraction to any man.

Oliver didn't deserve Natalie! That sick and ugly bastard!

All Night Manor.

At the evening show, most models were non-professional. They were here to catch the eyes of wealthy sponsors.

Natalie was brought to All Night Manor in the afternoon, with many young and pretty models already dressed up.

"These are your outfits for tonight's show. Don't disappoint me!" Sienna tossed the clothes at her, knowing that Natalie would do as she said.

It was a three-piece glittery swimsuit with a transparent veil to partially cover it.

After Sienna left, Natalie looked around at the other models. She fixed her gaze on a beautiful woman who had a lot of work done on her face.

The woman was complaining about something while holding a black cocktail dress. Although the dress was designed to be tight-fitting with a large portion of the back exposed, it was still much better than the "three pieces of cloth" Natalie received.

"Hello, don't you like your outfit for the show?" Natalie greeted, smiling.

"It's not sexy at all. How can I get any extra attention with such a stupid dress?" The woman noticed the clothes in Natalie's hand and her eyes lit up. That outfit would get everyone's attention!

So, she asked, "Darling, how about we switch outfits?"

Natalie replied, "Yeah! Why not?"

In this kind of show, no one would care about the outfits of models.

RisingKing Group Headquarters.

"Oliver, there's an evening show at All Night Manor tonight. Wanna go and have some fun?"

Isaac loved to have fun and was always in the know about exciting activities, so naturally, he wouldn't miss the All Night Manor event.

"I'm not interested," Oliver said without even looking up and continued his work at hand.

"There are some really hot chicks this time. I saw their photos. There's one called Natalie, and she's just gorgeous! She looks both hot and innocent. Can you believe that? I bet she can easily make it into the top three of the Paykston Beauty Rankings. Guys would fight to sleep with her tonight!" Isaac tried his best to persuade him.

Isaac only knew that Oliver was married, but he didn't know that Oliver's wife's name was Natalie.

Oliver paused as he was about to sign on something. His eyes turned cold.

Natalie? Natalie was a model, and tonight she had a late-night show. It was quite a coincidence!

After a moment, Oliver raised his head, his voice as cold as ice. "Okay, I'll go with you."

The runway at the night show shimmered with blue lights, casting an incredibly decadent vibe across the venue.
