Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 114
"Let's say you did find Professor Nancy. How on earth did you manage to sneak into the lab in the first place?" Joshua questioned.Natasha stayed composed as she had expected Joshua's question. She sent the package under her own name instead of Ryan's because Joshua had already spotted her in the lab.Plus, the second time he came across her there, she was already inside before he entered the building. It ruled out any chance of him thinking she was tailing him into the lab.Knowing Joshua's meticulous nature, it was clear he might have harbored suspicions. Sending the letter of authorization under her own name was a strategic move.This choice naturally explained why she appeared in the lab before him—she had returned to seek the letter of authorization."I depended on the bodyguard, simple as that," Natasha replied casually.Joshua studied her as if trying to uncover any deception.Natasha met his gaze confidently and showed no hint of fear. She had already dismissed the bodyg

Natasha noticed a change in Joshua's face. His emotions seemed complicated, and his sharp features looked even more serious in the light.It felt like Natasha might have said something that upset him. Maybe she had gone too far in the heat of the moment.Jacob had told her about Joshua's childhood and personality, and Lorelei had brought it up recently. The scars from his past haunted Joshua, and Natasha tried her best not to bring up those painful memories."I've sent you the letter of authorization. Does it matter where it came from?" Natasha kept her emotions in check, trying to sound calm.Joshua remained silent. Natasha wondered why he cared about the letter of authorization's source. After all, they were already divorced, so it shouldn't matter to him.Even after their marriage ended, Natasha kept working hard to help the Graysons through tough times, holding onto the memories they shared.Instead of asking questions, Joshua should see and value the effort she was putting i

"I tore it," Joshua confessed. His lips pressed together, and a touch of awkwardness flashed across his face.Natasha blinked, wondering if she had misheard him.No wonder Joshua sought her out. At first, she thought he was going to question her, but it turned out to be about the letter of authorization. Regardless, it did match Joshua's character."Wait, not only did you tear up the letter of authorization I worked hard for, but now you're here questioning me?" Natasha's eyes held disappointment and a hint of mockery.It seemed Joshua had a heart of stone."I got it wrong. I thought the letter you sent was fake, so I accidentally tore it," Joshua patiently explained."That's on you. Why do I have to suffer the consequences?" Natasha raised an eyebrow, her stare turning chilly.She went through so much trouble just to help the Graysons. It seemed reasonable to give Joshua another authorization letter if it meant aiding them. However, his actions left her baffled.Now, she quest

Natasha slammed the door so hard that she almost stumbled. She walked wobbly to the table and poured herself a glass of lemon water.Ever since Jacob disappeared from her life, she had become quieter, not showing much emotion.But now, anger surged within her like never before. It had been so long since she felt this furious. She couldn't even remember the last time she was this mad.Joshua's actions had genuinely gotten on her nerves. The cool lemon water helped soothe her and brought a bit of calmness to her breathing.Taking the stairs one step at a time, Natasha made her way to the villa's second floor.The window wall was covered by dark gray curtains. She pulled them aside, uncovering the expansive glass that allowed a peek into the outside world.Natasha longed to grasp Joshua's thoughts. His actions that day were completely different from what she knew of him. It felt like his intelligence took a nosedive the moment his first love reappeared.Resting against the couch, s

Ryan realized he hadn't been vigilant enough. That car parked near the lab had caught his attention that day, and now he wished he had been more attentive.A worried look crossed his face. If anything happened to Natasha in the lab, Zack would be furious, and Ryan would carry the weight of regret forever."I'm sorry, Professor. It's on me. The day I sent the authorization letter, I noticed a car outside the lab, but I didn't think much of it," Ryan confessed and owned up to his mistake.He added, "I'll strengthen the security and make sure no one gets into the lab without proper clearance."Natasha spoke casually, "Don't blame yourself. Joshua bribed the security at the side entrance and slipped into the lab from there. It makes sense that you didn't think anything of that car.""Joshua?" Ryan tightened his grip on the phone, his other hand instinctively forming a fist.Her words hit him unexpectedly. He hadn't expected Joshua to find the lab. He wondered whether it was related t

Natasha cast a cold gaze at Natalie and the familiar man next to her. It was clear that Natalie had put a lot of effort into dressing up.The two walked side by side toward the small building where she was located.Natalie was in good spirits. Her clear eyes were sparkling, and a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. Obviously, she was very happy.Natasha raised an eyebrow.Why was Natalie so happy?Joshua had always set clear boundaries between his public and private affairs, and he never brought a female companion to any business-related events.This time, however, he unexpectedly brought Natalie to the exhibition to purchase medicinal herbs. On top of that, it was done so blatantly.Natasha had to give it to Natalie that it was indeed something worthy of Natalie's happiness.It seemed like first loves were different.She shook her head lightly, letting out a soft, mocking laugh.As she was contemplating, Natalie and Joshua had closed the distance between them and her i

Only industry experts would know that Fragaland also produced juniper berries.Unlike Cloud City, Fragaland was more humid, so the color of the juniper berries was closer to dark green.Hence, it was more suitable to be processed with modern medicine into capsules.The supplier took a look at the woman in front of him. While she seemed knowledgeable, he could tell at a glance that she was not a company's president.Based on his estimation, she would probably just buy a few pounds.After carefully examining the quality, Natasha said nonchalantly. "Hm, let me place an order for 500 pounds first.""500 pounds?"He wondered if he had heard her wrongly.Natasha also selected a few more types of medicinal herbs that had a wider range of uses. "I'll take these herbs as well.""What? Do you want those in the same amount too?" he asked in a trembling voice."Yes, that's right. Let's start with this amount. If I see good results, I'll make another order."The supplier felt a little di

Furrowing his brows, Joshua continued walking forward, gradually moving away from Natalie.His eagerness to obtain the letter of authorization had blocked out Natalie's urgent calling.As he drew closer and closer to the woman in front of him, he was able to clearly see the material of her black dress. There were small white pearls on her velvet dress.Suddenly, a delicate hand caught hold of him, and he turned around."Josh, why are you suddenly running so fast? I can't keep up with you."Natalie panted slightly as she shot him a pitiful look.Her miniskirt was a little wrinkled from running, and the two silver earrings hanging from her ears were swaying."I have something to do. You stay here," Joshua answered, frowning before gently brushing away her hand.When Natasha heard the hurried footsteps behind her, she was about to turn around on reflex.However, before she did that, she heard Natalie's coquettish voice, calling, "Josh!"Joshua Grayson?Had she been discovered s
