"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

Natasha gave her a sardonic look."I got you into Radiance today, so now you owe me a favor!" Natalie thought for a moment before speaking.Natasha raised an eyebrow, and her tone was inscrutable. "I owe you a favor? What do you want from a lone orphan like me? I don't even know how I could ever repay you in the future."Natalie sneered. She raised her eyebrow and gave her a sidelong glance."You do have some self-awareness. Well, what you said is true. You, a poor orphan, have nothing to offer me. Even if you did, I wouldn't be interested."In fact, Natalie didn't even know which man gave that ring last time to Natasha. Even if Natasha gave that pink diamond to her, she would still find it dirty. "How about this? From now on, keep your distance from Joshua!" Natalie's big eyes twinkled as she added, "No. I mean, never appear at Grayson Corporation or in front of the Grayson family again!"This is the price for me helping you get into Radiance. Otherwise, if I can get you in, I

"Don't you know Natalie?" Natasha pounced on Zack's words."Natalie? Who is she? Is she the one who was blocking the screen all along?" Zack responded with questions.Natasha narrowed her eyes. "Don't play dumb with me. If you know her, just say so. You said you don't know her, so how did she get your number? She even called you so intimately." "I really don't know her." Zack blinked his affectionate eyes. "Many people have my number. I can't even remember who I've given it to."Upon hearing his words, Natasha expressed uncertainty. "Really?""It's true, but this woman does bear a resemblance to you," Zack said as he stroked his chin.Natasha gave a faint acknowledgment and said, "She's Joshua's…"However, halfway through her sentence, she halted. She figured she no longer had a connection to the Grayson family, so there was no need to bring it up with Zack.Zack didn't catch Natasha's hesitation and kept talking, "She looked somewhat familiar… I think I remember now. I met he

Natasha looked at the text message and blinked.Initially, she had hoped to distract herself by reading the message, forcing herself to detach from her emotions. However, seeing that the message was from Joshua only made her feel worse.No matter how important the matter was, it had nothing to do with her. In the end, she put her phone back on the desk.Natasha got up and walked downstairs to pour herself a cup of coffee, hoping to calm herself down.She put a scoop of coffee powder into the cup and diluted it with water. The coffee's fragrance wafted through the air, bringing a sense of tranquility.After finishing her coffee, Natasha sat back at her desk. She took some glue and carefully stuck her leather-bound notebook back together.She was a perfectionist, and the paper in the notebook was thin, so she had to focus to ensure the paper was stuck back in its original form.Her phone vibrated repeatedly on the side, and the sound echoed through the silent villa. The continuous

While Natalie failed to find the rich person who was against Grayson Corporation, she was surprised to find out her position in Zack's heart. The letter of authorization was now within her grasp!As time passed, Joshua didn't show up. Natalie furrowed her brows as she glanced at her watch. It was already noon. She couldn't help but wonder if Joshua wasn't coming to the company today.…Meanwhile, at Gwen Restaurant, Natasha was dressed in a Chanel black shawl coat, paired with a low-key cocktail dress that showcased her fantastic figure. Her dark hair fell with a natural curve over her shoulders.She slowly made her way into the restaurant."Hello, ma'am. May I ask if you have a reservation?" The voice of the receptionist at the entrance was gentle and extremely polite.That was a members-only restaurant. Even with wealth, one couldn't make a reservation without membership. It was also very famous in Topola."Mr. Grayson has reserved private room No. 9," Natasha said casually.

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

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
