"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
"Even if you are a member of the Sullivan family, that doesn't have anything to do with you knowing Zack." Natasha looked indifferently at Natalie.Natalie retorted, "It's no wonder that you are an orphan. Judging by your ignorance, you probably don't understand the influence that the Sullivans hold in Topola."For members of the Sullivan family, it is easy to be acquainted with any company's president. Many companies are eager to strike up a deal with the Sullivans! A mere president of Radiance Biomed is no big deal."The more Natalie spoke, the more excited she became.Natasha's expression remained calm as she looked at Natalie, who was clearly agitated. "Oh."Her tone was flat and without a hint of emotion. She sounded as if what Natalie said earlier didn't affect her in the slightest.Natalie was dumbfounded. Natasha shouldn't be reacting in this manner!Under normal circumstances, people would try to strike up a conversation with her when they found out that she was from th
Natasha furrowed her brows. Why did Zack answer Natalie's video call so quickly? Conversely, he did not pick up even one of her urgent phone calls.What a fair-weather friend he was!Wasn't Zack supposed to be busy healing from his emotional trauma? Was this what he meant?Natasha stood behind Natalie and stared at the phone screen with an insincere smile on her face.Natalie was holding the phone in her hand. At the moment when the video call was connected, she couldn't help but glance at Natasha.She did not try to hide the triumphant and mocking expression on her face.Zack actually answered her call! That day, she was determined to make Natasha open her eyes and see for herself!Natalie brought the phone closer to her face and put on a bright smile. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Zack, who was on screen. "I—"Before Natalie could speak, her sentence was interrupted by Zack's voice."Natty…" His voice was as gentle as the spring breeze. Zack's tone was completely differ
"Zack, I have something to ask you…" Natalie wanted to finish her sentence."Alright, go ahead." Zack suppressed his curiosity and focused his gaze on Natalie. The grim expression on Natasha's face was so fierce that he didn't dare to speak to her at all.Natalie altered her facial expression and chose her words carefully. "Zack, I have a friend who wants to work in Radiance Biomed…"Zack frowned at her words.Natalie pulled Natasha closer and continued, "It's this friend of mine who wants to work there. Is it possible for her to enter Radiance Biomed?"Stumbling, Natasha almost fell when Natalie pulled her abruptly and forced her to stand in front of the camera. Natasha looked at Zack and gave him an insincere smile, but her eyes were emotionless.Startled, Zack exclaimed when he saw Natasha stumble, "Hey, be careful. Don't be hasty."However, the concern behind his words sounded irritating to Natasha. Since when was Zack so polite and caring? Could it be that he wanted to leav
