"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
"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
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
Since Natasha had already signed the divorce agreement, what was Joshua waiting for? Did he not want to divorce her?Natasha noticed Natalie's unease with a single glance, but she didn't expose her. "It's enough that I've said it. In the future, don't get the wrong idea that I'm the one clinging on to Joshua."Natalie frowned and said, "Then, why are you studying pharmaceuticals?"Natasha replied nonchalantly, "The reason I'm studying pharmaceuticals is to pursue my PhD studies under Dr. Nancy. This bag of medicinal herbs is also to enhance my knowledge in pharmaceuticals."As for why I appeared in this building, I heard that there's an exhibition in town, so I came to have a look at the herbs."Natasha poured out her explanation in one breath as she did not want Natalie to overthink things and cause more trouble for her. The reason why Natasha said that she wanted to pursue her PhD under Nancy was that it could explain her appearance in Nancy's laboratory.After all, she had r
"Of course." Natalie couldn't hide the pride on her face.After saying this, she pointed her nose into the air and gave Natasha a haughty look. Her arrogance and conceitedness were evident."How about it? Don't you want to beg me? It's just a matter of putting in a good word for you to get a job in Radiance Biomed," Natalie said.She sat down on a nearby chair, crossed her slender legs, and propped her chin up as she looked smugly at Natasha.Natasha listened to Natalie's arrogant words.At first glance, there appeared to be no change in expression on Natasha's beautiful face. However, it seemed like Natasha was contemplating something upon closer inspection.Natalie's demeanor didn't seem like she was lying."What, are you unwilling?" Seeing that Natasha remained silent, Natalie twirled her hair around a finger and continued nonchalantly, "You know, I come from a prestigious family of doctors in Topola. It is an honor for you to beg me for a favor."My demands aren't high. I j
