Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 101
Natalie shot an annoyed look at the receptionist, who was trying a bit too hard to be friendly. Ignoring her, Natalie toyed with the package in her hands.Her usually innocent charm was nowhere to be found, and her gaze turned sullen. On the sidelines, the receptionist stood awkwardly.The delivery man tried to address Natalie, "Miss—"With a tone that brooked no argument, the receptionist interrupted, "She's Mr. Grayson's girlfriend. Just give her the package."The delivery man eyed Natalie with uncertainty."The contents are valuable. Are you sure she's Mr. Grayson's girlfriend? What if something goes wrong?" he questioned skeptically.Natalie's expression shifted. At first, she hesitated to open the package, but then her curiosity got the better of her. She wanted to see the valuable item Natasha had sent.Looking at the receptionist, Natalie requested, "Give me a cutter."However, the receptionist paused after taking in the delivery man's caution. She feared the consequence

Ben grabbed the package from the delivery man. The delivery man knew Ben because he had taken packages for Grayson Corporation's president before. It was at that moment the delivery guy finally believed that Natalie was, in fact, the president's girlfriend.Natalie turned down the package with a condescending look. "I don't need it anymore."Ben swiftly pulled back his hand. "Don't need it anymore?" he muttered, unsure if Natalie was upset.She stayed silent and headed for the elevator. Ben quickly trailed behind while still holding the package.Soon, they reached Joshua's office. Natalie went in without saying anything, and Ben did the same.After placing the package at Joshua's desk, Ben made a quick exit. He didn't want to stick around and get caught up in Joshua's personal affairs.Startled by the sounds, Joshua briefly looked up at Natalie before lowering his head to resume reviewing the documents. Natalie sat silently on the couch across the desk, her expression icy cold.

Even though Joshua held the authorization letter, he didn't feel happy or relieved. He looked confused with his eyebrows wrinkled and eyes squinted.Remembering Ron's past fake authorization, Joshua closely examined Natasha's document. It had an anti-counterfeit security label. Professor Nancy's signature inside also seemed genuine, with no signs of being forged.Joshua couldn't unravel the mysteries Natasha held. Not only could she get into the research building, but she also had a way to secure a letter of authorization.As he scrutinized the document, memories of his unexpected run-ins with Natasha replayed in his mind.The more he pondered, the more he sensed that something was off. Could it be that Natasha had an extraordinary identity?"Josh, can I take a look?" A sweet voice interrupted Joshua's thoughts.Natalie had planned to playfully express her jealousy over Natasha's gift delivery. She hoped this would not only deepen her connection with Joshua but also provide an op

Joshua thought that Natasha's behavior had nothing to do with her education level but rather with her sense of right and wrong.Receiving the letter from Natasha made him think she might have some special status. A tiny spark of hope even lit up inside him. But now, the whole idea just seemed somewhat amusing.He realized he shouldn't have expected anything from Natasha. She would go to any lengths just to earn his love.A self-deprecating smile appeared on Joshua's lips as he gripped the authorization letter and tore the paper into thin strips.His frustration made the veins on his arm pop. Natalie's gentle hands moved over them, trying to comfort him."Josh, don't be upset. Natasha's done this before, you know? It's not worth getting all worked up," Natalie said calmly.But Joshua's face stayed all scrunched up in anger, showing he was extremely ticked off this time.Natasha had let him down completely.Natalie watched Joshua closely and noted the disappointment written all ov

"It's no problem at all. I chose to handle everything willingly. After all, whatever concerns the Graysons concerns me, too," Natalie replied.Joshua looked tenderly at Natalie.With a slight smile, Natalie bashfully added, "I'll be joining the Grayson family sooner or later, you know…"Despite her seemingly casual remark, she purposefully emphasized the phrase "joining the Grayson family" with a raised tone.A solemn expression settled on Joshua's face. He had promised Philip not to divorce Natasha before. But now, realizing that the authorization issue was sorted out, he felt like he had more control.This made him think about the possibility of getting a divorce. As this realization set in, his serious expression slowly softened.Natalie caught a quick glimpse of the mixed emotions on Joshua's face."Josh, did I say something wrong?" Her tone, along with her innocent face, could tug at anyone's heart."No," Joshua reassured. "You'll surely become a part of the Grayson family

Everyone wanted Blenoxane, and having permission to sell it made Grayson Corporation pretty powerful.Many hospitals in Oceanville and Topola had to get their medicine from Grayson Corporation, which meant the company could set the prices on its own."Hi, do you have an appointment?" The hospital receptionist glanced up at Joshua, who had nearly perfect features, and blushed subtly."Yes." Even though it was a simple word, it carried a sense of detached politeness.An assistant rushed over and said, "He has a scheduled meeting with Mr. Fletcher at 10:00 am today. This is Joshua Grayson, Grayson Corporation's president.""Grayson Corporation… Joshua Grayson…" the receptionist mumbled and suddenly had a realization."Mr. Fletcher told me to bring you to his office right away this morning," the receptionist said politely. "Follow me, please." She gestured, not quite meeting Joshua's eyes.She had heard that Joshua was good-looking and rich, but he turned out to be even better-looki

Joshua's words put a big smile on Marcus' face. "Awesome! Your promise makes me feel relieved," Marcus exclaimed.Havenfield International Hospital's reputation in Oceanville was clear. Joshua had no intention of jeopardizing their relationship by faking a letter of authorization.Marcus had confidence in Joshua because Grayson Corporation was highly regarded in the pharmaceutical industry.Without even checking the authorization letter, Marcus returned it to its place and crossed his arms.Despite his age, Marcus' sharp gaze remained intact as he stated, "I trust you, so let's discuss the price."Joshua responded with a nonchalant hum."I'm curious about the price Grayson Corp has in mind," Marcus pondered aloud before taking a sip from his coffee cup."Set the price as you see fit," Joshua suggested. His hand found its place beneath his chin, and his gaze rested on Marcus, signaling his desire for Marcus to lead the conversation.Across the table, Marcus toyed with his fancy

Marcus forcefully slammed the letter of authorization onto the table, making a heavy thud. Frustration hit him like a strong punch to the head.He yelled, "Does Grayson Corp actually mean business here?"Confused, Joshua asked, "What are you talking about?""Is Grayson Corp messing around with me? I might be over 50, but I won't let a youngster like you play games with me!" Marcus vented his frustration.Confusion clouded Joshua's expression."You can take this piece of garbage and leave. Havenfield doesn't welcome you!" Marcus declared.As his words faded, a group of bodyguards entered and positioned themselves sternly beside him.A sense of unease gripped Joshua. "Could it be that the letter of authorization is fake?"Marcus let out a derisive snort and tossed the authorization letter onto the table in front of Joshua."No need for pretenses. I used to believe in Grayson Corp, thinking you guys were always dependable. I never thought you'd turn out like this!"Joshua's face

He didn't know where this sense of loss came from, but it hung over Joshua like a low-pressure system and seemed impossible to dispel. His expression visibly darkened. Yet, he seemed to want to maintain his dignity and didn't want Natasha to discern his sense of loss. So Joshua pursed his lips, forcefully suppressing the feeling and putting on a blank expression. He seemed indifferent to Natasha's proposed condition."How about it? Does Mr. Grayson need more time to consider?" Natasha sat calmly in her chair, tilting her head slightly. She was confident this time that Joshua would definitely agree. Although she felt a bit uneasy about using Philip's life as leverage against Joshua, she believed it was the best option at the moment. Given Joshua's personality, using trivial things as leverage wouldn't pose any threat to him. Besides family members' lives, everything else was insignificant to him. She had no other choice.As Natasha spoke, her eyebrows furrowed lightly, and her

As soon as Joshua heard Natasha mention there were conditions, he instantly had a bad feeling. Although Natasha didn't explicitly state the conditions, Joshua understood that they definitely wouldn't be easy."What conditions are you talking about?" He propped his chin up with his hand, looking at Natasha seriously.Natasha smiled and raised her lips. "What are the conditions? You should know."Joshua was slightly stunned. He knew what the conditions were?He furrowed his brows earnestly, trying hard to figure out what conditions Natasha was talking about.Could it be…"Are you trying to make it a condition to drive Natalie away from the Grayson Villa?" Joshua raised an eyebrow. Considering recent events, Joshua couldn't think of any other conditions.As soon as this was said, Natasha was momentarily dumbfounded.What was he talking about?Natasha tried to find a word to describe Joshua's thoughts, but after a long time, she couldn't bring herself to say it. Joshua's train of

Natasha blinked her eyes. It seemed that Joshua was anticipating her rejection in advance."Since you can enter the Sullivan residence, your relationship with them must be extraordinary."It's not like people with Joshua's and Natalie's status could enter. But Natasha could, which undoubtedly indicated that she still had something to hide from him."Since you have this relationship with the Sullivans, helping Grandfather should be a simple matter."As soon as these words came out, Natasha sneered, "Simple matter?""Although I do have some connection with the Sullivans, it's not to the extent where I can freely arrange the Sullivans miracle worker's schedule."The position of the Sullivan's miracle worker is well-known. Since you are aware of it, you shouldn't say such things. You're overestimating me."Natasha was blatantly lying and trying to deceive Joshua."Someone with the status of the Sullivan's miracle worker would only save someone if he wanted to. If he doesn't have th

As soon as Joshua said the name "Jacob", Natasha felt like her throat was being choked, and was unable to breathe properly.Her breathing became somewhat erratic."What's wrong? Do you know him or not?" Joshua spoke, narrowing his eyes. His pupils contracted, and he looked sharp and almost menacing.It seemed like any slight movement from Natasha couldn't escape his gaze."I…" Natasha began.She seemed a bit hesitant but also seemed not at all. Finally, she calmly spoke, "I don't know him.""Don't know him?" Joshua raised an eyebrow.He seemed somewhat incredulous, repeatedly confirming, "You really don't know him?"Natasha nodded, her expression very firm. "I don't know him."She looked somewhat puzzled, her tone confused as she asked, "Who is Jacob? Is he also from the Graysons?"Joshua stared at Natasha motionlessly, as if trying to find a flaw on her face.But Natasha remained calm. Her expression was very normal and without any flaws.Joshua stared for a long time. Eve

"Please help us remove all these dishes and replace them with some new ones." Natasha pointed to the dishes on the table.The waitress was startled, instinctively asking, "Is there any problem with these dishes? Please point them out, and we will correct them immediately."Natasha smiled gracefully. "No, there's nothing wrong."It was just that these dishes accidentally touched Joshua's nerve."Is it because the dishes don't suit your taste?" the waitress continued to inquire."Not really." Natasha shook her head.Although, she hadn't even taken a bite. She didn't even know if these dishes were good or not.If Joshua's gaze hadn't been so intimidating, she would have tried them so as not to waste them.Next time, she had to bring Austin to try the dishes at this restaurant."So what's wrong with these dishes? We can convey your feedback to the kitchen, or we can replace them with new dishes for you free of charge. Would that be acceptable to you?" the waitress asked.The wait

Joshua had been the president for a long time, and his whole demeanor was daunting, seemingly suffocating others with his pressure.Natasha sat in her seat. Even if she deliberately avoided looking up at Joshua, she could still feel the scalp-tingling sensation.His gaze was just too sharp. She couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to."Uh… Didn't you just say you don't like these dishes? Do you want them all removed?" Natasha awkwardly changed the subject."I'll listen and remove it now. I'll call the waiter in to take them away." After saying that, Natasha lowered her gaze and pressed the button on the table to call the waiter outside on standby.Joshua remained silent. His gaze fixed on Natasha without wavering.It made Natasha feel even more trapped.Her mind was already in a mess at the moment. She regretted that she had spoken too hastily earlier without thinking.She had never let slip of anything during her time in the Grayson Villa.What was happening now? Just a few
Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 690
She was trying hard to change the subject.But Joshua looked at the dish, his mind filled with the image of Jacob's face and the various rejections he had faced during his youth.This made him very uncomfortable."I won't eat it. Take it away," Joshua said coldly with disdain."This dish… actually tastes very good. You can try it. Don't have a prejudice against it." Natasha tried to calm Joshua's mood.But he clearly had little patience. He roared angrily, "Take it away!""I don't want to see this dish!"The sound made Natasha's hand tremble as she held the plate."Alright, alright, I'll take it away. Why are you so fierce?" Natasha bit her lip, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her rising anger, and then withdrew the dish of delicious cheese curds."Then have some other dishes." She gestured to the several dishes on the table.But unexpectedly, Joshua's face turned even worse. His gaze swept over the dishes on the table, his brows deeply furrowed, looking very dissati

Joshua's tone sounded casual and his expression indifferent, as if discussing something unrelated to him. Yet, it gave the impression that he was talking about his own affairs."Is it worth it?" Natasha murmured, repeating the question.Perhaps because Joshua exuded a melancholic air, Natasha stopped in her tracks and earnestly answered the question. "If this mother is willing to do it, then it must be worth it."Upon hearing this, Joshua looked at her, his melancholy seeming to deepen."Is that so? Do you also think that everything this mother does is worth it?"The sorrowful expression in his eyes seemed so thick that it was unbreakable.Natasha was surprised to see Joshua like this. She didn't understand why Joshua had suddenly changed."A parent's love for their child involves careful planning. Every mother who selflessly sacrifices for her child is great…"Natasha considered her tone carefully. "A mother who wholeheartedly loves her child would do this, wouldn't she?"Bef

They were different people.In a flash, Natasha instinctively pushed him away.She stood up straight, her tone serious as she said, "Joshua, please behave yourself." Her gentle fingers brushed against Joshua's shirt, seemingly carrying her fresh fragrance with it.The sudden push caught Joshua off guard.Looking up, he found Natasha wanting to keep her distance from him as if he were a ferocious beast.This look even made Joshua doubt himself. Was he that bad to warrant such a reaction from her?Before he could come to a conclusion, Natasha had already picked up her bag, seemingly ready to leave."If Mr. Grayson has nothing else to do today, I'll be taking my leave first."Joshua's behavior just now caught her off guard.Anyway, from the looks of it, he probably wouldn't agree to a divorce.Since Joshua had made up his mind, it was pointless for her to linger here. It was better to go home and avoid hearing any more of Joshua's "seductive" words."Wait," Joshua called out
