Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 124
A single purchase could be worth a few million dollars.Most of the suppliers at the exhibition knew each other. Hence, word spread quickly.Everyone knew that a certain big boss, whose extravagant spending far exceeded that of Grayson Corporation's president, had visited the exhibition that day.Soon, evening arrived, and the ancient town was illuminated with lights.Along the ten-mile-long street, rows of brownstone buildings with bay windows were adorned with lights. They cast a warm orange glow that made the place rather beautiful.Natasha walked amidst the bustling crowd.It had been a long time since she had walked in such a beautiful place.The town adorned with many lights had an inexplicable charm—anyone in the town felt happy.However, Natasha didn't feel the slightest bit of comfort.The more lively and bustling her surroundings were, the lonelier she felt.The louder the noises and voices around her, the emptier and quieter her world seemed. There was a stark cont

After waking up, Natasha didn't feel like going back to sleep at all. On top of that, she didn't dare to sleep again.She was afraid of dreaming about that person again.She turned on all the lights in the building, illuminating the place gradually.It seemed like turning on the lights made her feel less lonely, but was that really possible?Natasha walked slowly toward the building's courtyard. It was filled with greenery, lush with flowers and plants—quiet and peaceful.She raised her head to look at the sky.In the pitch-black sky, stars were shining brightly. There were so many of them, and they were so bright. Yet, they were so far away.Like Jacob, they brought light to her life, yet they would leave her. He was as distant as those stars, beyond her reach.Natasha recalled that day."Jake, there'll be a meteor shower tonight according to my phone. I found a good spot. Let's watch it together!"She had never seen a meteor before. That would be her first and last time.J

"I'm here on Josh's behalf!" Natalie's voice was loud and confident. "Someone stole Josh's medicinal herbs. After asking around, I came here. How could it be you?"She had accompanied Joshua to purchase medicinal herbs. But when they arrived at the supplier's store, they found that the herbs they needed were all gone.They had no choice but to move on to the next store, but several consecutive stores didn't have what they were looking for.Sensing that something was amiss, Joshua had asked the suppliers about it. They said a beautiful wealthy person had bought dozens of types of herbs at once.The herbs bought almost perfectly matched what they needed.Joshua felt it was intentional. How else could it so closely match what Grayson Corp needed?It had to be a deliberate attempt by a business rival to hinder Grayson Corp.However, Joshua had an important meeting that day. Hence, he couldn't look for the person who had taken the herbs from Grayson Corp.That was Natalie's chance t

Natasha's expression changed as soon as she heard that.She instinctively looked around, searching for security cameras."Don't bother looking for it. I've already checked. There are no cameras here," Natalie said, playing with her hair.Her lips curled into a satisfied smile. "Go ahead, call the police. Let's see if they believe an orphan like you or the Grayson family."The moment she saw Natasha at the door, Natalie instinctively called out to the bodyguard. She had instructed him to explore the small building's surroundings for security cameras."Well, it looks like you've finally developed a memory. I didn't think you had it in you," Natasha said.She was mocking Natalie instead of showing any signs of panic or fear as Natalie had imagined."Now you've learned to look for security cameras." Natasha's gaze was full of mockery."Hey!"Natasha was clearly insulting her.Natalie clenched her fists angrily and turned to her bodyguards. "Are you done searching?"Given that Na

Natasha just stared at her without saying a word.After the dreams last night, she ended up sleeping on the table. This morning, she was woken up by persistent knocking, prompting her to open the door without a second thought.In the midst of it all, she completely forgot that the notebook which she usually used for jotting down various pharmaceutical ideas was left upstairs.Noticing Natasha's silence, Natalie lifted the book in her hand. "This is yours, too?" she asked."Give it back." Natasha furrowed her brows. Despite facing a pack of burly bodyguards, she swiftly approached, aiming to snatch the leather-bound notebook.With her abilities, pharmaceutical concepts were already etched in her mind.Yet, this notebook held a special purpose—a deliberate record of these ideas meant to provide Ryan with thorough study material.Recently, she'd gotten into the habit of jotting down her thoughts on the go.But even with Natasha's speed, she couldn't quite match up to the well-trai
Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 129
"Um…" Natalie brought the leather-bound book closer to examine its contents closely.Natasha raised an eyebrow, silently watching her.The content inside was beyond the comprehension of anyone without a background in pharmaceuticals.Even for those who studied pharmaceuticals systematically, flipping through this book would only give them a vague understanding.Only someone with a certain level of expertise in pharmaceuticals would be able to comprehend the profound insights within.These innovative ideas were custom-tailored for Ryan, matching his exceptional proficiency—a rarity in this world.Natalie, on the other hand, was another story entirely—understanding was beyond her reach.Holding the leather-bound book, she furrowed her brows.The content looked a bit like it had something to do with pharmaceuticals. But Natalie wasn't sure. She'd never really dabbled in pharmaceuticals.Natalie's expression became extremely awkward. Her eyes were pretending to read the leather-bo

The woman's voice, now soft and tender, held a stark contrast to the previous tone.As Natasha listened to the voice, a shiver ran down her spine.Barely a moment passed before a reply came from the other side.Natasha, brushing away the goosebumps on her arms, stared coldly at Natalie.Upon reading the message, Natalie's eyes widened in sheer disbelief. She couldn't wrap her head around it. How on earth was this possible?She put her phone away, cleared her throat, and turned toward Natasha. "So, you're into pharmaceuticals?"As Natalie turned, she swiftly concealed her astonishment, getting back into her authoritative mode.No matter how surprised she was, she couldn't let Natasha see it.Natasha met her gaze."Yeah," she replied with indifference.Since Natalie had already asked around, and Natasha owned up to the notebook being hers, there wasn't much point in defending further.Might as well just own up to it outright."You… an orphan with limited education, somehow kn
Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 131
After Natalie said that, she just awkwardly looked at Natasha in silence.Natasha, hearing the words, raised her eyes and let out a cold snort.Natalie proved to be quite adaptable, delivering an unequivocal apology once she grasped the situation. Her unique disposition might just be the reason she could hold Joshua's heart so firmly."Natasha, why the silence? You're not accepting my apology?" Natalie blinked."Definitely not," Natasha retorted, her response cold, gaze as icy as ever.She hadn't reached the point of being all magnanimous about it. Unlike Joshua, she wasn't falling for this charade."Enough with your insincere apology.""You… Natasha!" Natalie, unable to keep up the facade, gritted her teeth and shouted Natasha's name.She had been suppressing her disgust to make that apology, only to find Natasha uninterested in playing along.Even if Natasha was loaded, so what? In Oceanville, it was the Graysons who held the power! Wealth without power was worthless!Natal
