Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 161
However, Natalie was no fool. No matter how wealthy this man in front of her might be, he wouldn't compare to Joshua. She was well aware of Joshua's status in Oceanville."I'm sorry. I have some things to take care of today. If you'd like to get to know me, perhaps another time?" Natalie's face wore a polite smile.Yakov's expression changed instantly, but he was persistent. "How about we exchange WhatsApp contacts? We can make plans for another day."Natalie smirked as she saw right through Yakov's intentions.She knew that the more pursuers she had, the more options she had. If it were a few days ago, she would probably have given him her WhatsApp. In that case, if Joshua let her down, she would still have other options. However, now she clearly had a better suitor by her side, Zack. The man in front of her was simply worlds apart from Zack. At this moment, she felt nothing but disdain for Yakov."My phone isn't with me." Natalie smiled and walked out of the banquet hall, leav

"Say it in the banquet hall?" Joshua found it amusing. "Don't you feel embarrassed?""Why would I be embarrassed?" Natasha asked casually. She didn't understand what Joshua meant."Do you want me to reveal all those things you've done in front of all the guests?" Joshua's eyes were filled with disgust.He then continued, "You have no shame and no sense of embarrassment. However, the Grayson family can't afford to be humiliated like this.""Those things I've done?" Natasha didn't understand if Joshua was referring to Natalie framing her for stealing the diamond ring, Natalie's coming to Everwood to cause trouble, or Natalie deliberately picking a fight with her at the banquet. All these things were all done by his first love, but now they had all become her mistakes."You know best what you've done. Don't play dumb in front of me," Joshua said with a look of disgust.Hearing that, Natasha raised an eyebrow. "I don't know. How would I know what accusations you're throwing at me?

Joshua frowned and looked up coldly."I invited Tasha here. Do you want to drive her away?" Lorelei's voice was stern. She had just come downstairs and couldn't find Natasha anywhere. She had to ask around, only to find out that so much had happened downstairs just now!Lorelei obviously didn't believe that Natasha would have pushed Natalie. She was certain that the latter had played a trick to frame Natasha!Later, when Lorelei heard from the madam of the Zahn family that Joshua had already taken Natasha away, she became even more anxious. She immediately followed the direction given by the guests to find this place. As soon as she came in, she heard Joshua telling Natasha to leave.Seeing Lorelei standing at the courtyard entrance, Joshua's expression changed, and he couldn't utter a word of reproach. "Mom, why are you here?"Lorelei responded, "If I don't come, you'll just end up mistreating Tasha, won't you? Just because she's good-natured, does that give you the right to tr

In the banquet hall, the crowd remained packed together as if nothing had happened. As Natasha followed behind Lorelei into the banquet hall, all eyes turned to her at the same time.Standing on the side, Natalie immediately caught sight of Natasha. Her eyes filled with hatred as she watched Natasha follow behind Lorelei, and her fists clenched tightly.She had no clue what Natasha had done to Lorelei to make her trust and protect her so blindly.Lorelei seemed to sense the attention and held Natasha's hand tighter. "Tasha, don't be afraid. I've got your back."Natasha raised an eyebrow and smiled. She then nodded and said, "Lorelei, I'm not afraid."Seeing Natasha smile so brightly, Natalie's fists clenched even tighter.After the two of them entered the banquet hall, Joshua also walked in with a somber expression. He already had a cold appearance, and with his mixed emotions at this moment, no one could tell what he was thinking. Natalie saw Joshua appear at the door and im

"Who is she?" Philip's expression changed when he saw Natalie. The smile he had earlier disappeared, and his face turned grim. Lorelei clutched Natasha's hand and gave a cold stare to Natalie."Grandpa Philip, it's me, Natalie. Don't you recognize me?" Natalie felt a bit uneasy as she answered.However, Philip ignored her, turned to Joshua, and demanded, "Tell me, who is she?"Philip's frustration was apparent. The fact that Joshua had broken his promise by bringing Natalie to the banquet left him incredulous.The banquet hall was filled with guests who couldn't make out the words being exchanged, but the tension in the air was undeniable. The curiosity of everyone present was aroused, and all eyes turned to Philip.Natalie refrained from speaking. She nervously squeezed her hand and cast a timid glance at Joshua, who remained expressionless by her side."Josh... maybe I should go. I might upset Grandpa Philip," Natalie suggested.Joshua gripped Natalie's arm and reassured her

Natasha smiled amiably. "Grandpa, I'm starving. I haven't eaten all day and I'd like something to eat."If Philip continued to hang around and argue with Joshua, he might get super angry and end up getting sick all over again. Philip gave in to Natasha's insistence and left.After Philip left, Lorelei faced the two of them standing next to each other. She wanted to speak, but the words never came out. Sighing, she simply said, "You better watch out for yourself."With that, Lorelei walked away. Joshua and Natalie were left standing there. He could feel the discreet glances of the nearby guests still lingering on them. He scanned the crowd impatiently.There was a hush of silence as the guests averted their gazes. Although they had been watching for a few moments, no one dared to approach them. So, all they heard was Philip's loud exclamation and nothing else. They saw Natasha smiling, while Natalie had a troubled look that begged for sympathy. Lydia watched from a distance as t

Joshua led Natalie to her seat and then sat down himself. His stare was icy and he exuded a strong presence. Natalie's timid posture beside him contrasted sharply with his demeanor.Philip felt a growing sense of irritation as he watched both Joshua and Natalie. He was growing increasingly impatient to have a word with Joshua as soon as the banquet was over. Even though Joshua had promised Philip he wouldn't divorce Natasha, he had taken Natalie with him.Philip couldn't help but feel that Joshua was deliberately causing trouble. He turned to Natasha and pushed a plate of food in her direction. "We have a talented chef today. Have a taste, you'll like it."Natasha replied with a nod, "Thanks, Grandpa." She picked up her utensils and began to enjoy her meal. Before she could finish chewing her food, Philip was pushing another plate in her direction.He continued offering her different dishes until everyone at the table was taking notice of Natasha. Lorelei seemed content, but Josh

Natalie's eyes were filled with determination."Do as Natasha had done? What can you do?" Lorelei asked with a straight face. "With your smooth talk that can charm guys to no end?"Natalie was angry, but she held herself back. She wanted to get the authorization right in front of the Graysons and wipe that smug look off Lorelei's face. Natalie buried her frustration and put on a calm expression."Lorelei, why would you say such a thing?" Natalie feigned a look of sadness and hurt. "I want to make amends for what I have done. I know you hold a grudge against me for leaving the Graysons at the most difficult time."You think I'm with Josh for money and only returned when the Graysons prospered. You think I'm only after money."Natasha was surprised by Natalie's self-awareness. She put her utensils down and fiddled with her wine glass. She grew a little impatient as she waited for Natalie to get to the point."I had to go abroad because my mom got sick and I had no choice but to lea
