Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 185
Natasha furrowed her brow as she glanced at the man.At first glance, he appeared rather ordinary, with an appearance that barely could be considered handsome.However, upon a second look, one could see the mesmerizing, wicked glint hidden in his narrow eyes.He gave off a sinister vibe, and the contrast between his handsome appearance and his wicked gaze was striking.Many wealthy families in Oceanville whom Natasha had met during her three years at the Grayson family flashed through her mind, but she did not recognize the man before her.Was he here to join the fun?Natasha couldn't be bothered with him. She withdrew her gaze and bent down a little to look at Lorelei."Lorelei, I'm sorry I couldn't fulfill your wish today. Please take care of your health in the future," she said gently.Lorelei was visibly conflicted, and after much hesitation, she finally said, "Tasha, why don't you sit down and finish your meal before leaving?"Natasha smiled faintly. "There's no need for

Although Natasha heard everything they had said, she was unaffected, feeling nothing but annoyance at the man before her.Yakov was about to speak, but Natasha interrupted him, saying, "I don't think I know you. Although I don't know why you're blocking my way, please move aside if you don't need anything."Yakov was unfazed. "Where are you going, Mrs. Grayson?"Natalie noticed the commotion on Natasha's side. She wondered why she hadn't left yet despite saying that she would.Was Natasha coming back? They had already kicked her out yet she still refused to leave.It annoyed Natalie greatly."What's it to you where I'm going? Please move aside." Natasha looked coldly at Yakov, her patience wearing thin."It seems like you were just in an argument. I wonder if you're leaving because of that?" Yakov looked at her."How is that any of your business? Are we even close?" Natasha corrected her initial impression of him.He was not a handsome man. He was nothing but a scoundrel."I'

As Philip had ordered them, the bodyguards immediately stepped forward and grabbed Natasha's arm upon Natalie's command.The guests nearby were startled. "What's going on? Did the bodyguard grab the wrong person?"Some even stood up, craning their necks to figure out exactly what was going on.Gossip spread like wildfire in all directions, and the elegant music in the banquet hall couldn't conceal the whispers anymore.A tall bodyguard rushed forward, causing even Yakov, who was standing nearby, to involuntarily take two steps back.Seeing them grab Natasha's arm, Yakov raised his eyebrows in surprise. However, after retreating, he merely stood there, doing nothing to stop the bodyguards.There was even a faint smile on his face, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking from his devilish eyes.The burly bodyguard grabbed Natasha. As he was rather strong, she couldn't break free even though she tried to."Natalie, what are you doing? I haven't even left the banquet hall yet,

The guests couldn't help but wonder where Natalie came from. Was there going to be a new Mrs. Grayson soon?Upon receiving the order, the bodyguards immediately grabbed Natasha, dragging her to the door.Their grip was incredibly strong, squeezing her arms tightly.Natasha's arms felt like they were on fire. It was as if they had turned swollen.Everyone around her stared, whispering and pointing.Natasha frowned.After enduring the strange, curious looks from the guests along the way, she was finally pushed and dragged to the exit."Can you let go now? We're already at the door," Natasha said with a faint smile. However, her gaze was cold.She wondered what Natalie had said that made Philip completely disregard the Grayson family's etiquette and have the bodyguard drag her away.It was quite an effective ploy.Natalie had stolen the limelight that day. Everyone in the circle of wealthy families in Oceanville would know her by now.Just like she had wished, she became well-k

"Did Grandpa really say that?" Natalie's voice trembled slightly due to anger.Automatically standing aside after blocking her blow, the bodyguard replied flatly, "I do whatever Mr. Grayson Senior instructs."Natasha couldn't help but sneer. It seemed Philip wasn't as terrible as she thought he was.Nonetheless, it was Philip who ordered the security team to kick her out of the Grayson Villa. Even if it wasn't terrible, it was still rather foolish.Natasha sighed lightly.But to Natalie, her actions were a display of triumph after a victory."Don't get too cocky!" Hatred was bubbling in Natalie's gaze. She made a mental note of this slap and vowed to make Natasha pay twice the price in the future.Hearing that, Natasha raised her eyes.Natalie's face seemed to contort with anger, her earlier arrogant and triumphant expression nowhere to be found. All that remained in her eyes was resentment and hatred.Natasha couldn't be bothered by whatever Natalie said.Instead, she turned

After she charged her phone for a while, it began to ring incessantly. She was receiving message after message.Frowning, she picked up her phone, wondering who would send her so many messages.Her gaze paused on the screen. It was Ryan.Why did he send her so many messages and call her so many times? Did something happen?Natasha hurriedly dialed Ryan's number, and the call connected.Before Natasha could speak, Ryan anxiously said, "Professor, you finally answered my call!"Ryan's voice sounded a little breathless because he was emotional. "You haven't been to the lab all day today. I've called you countless times, but you didn't pick up. I was so worried!"I thought something happened to you! I didn't know who else to contact to find out where you were."I called Mr. Lynch many times, but he didn't answer, either. Neither of you picked up, and it made me even more anxious."It warmed Natasha's heart. She couldn't help but smile. "What could possibly happen to me?""What co

"Then I'm hanging up," Ryan said cautiously."Yeah, do rest early," Natasha replied as she picked up her glass of water, taking sips from it.Suddenly, she heard noisy sounds from Ryan's end, along with faint, piercing car horns.Natasha furrowed her brows."Professor, you should go to bed early, too," Ryan said. He sounded like he was rushing as if something was going on at his end."Wait! Don't hang up yet." Natasha suddenly stopped him.Ryan's finger that was about to tap on the hang-up button paused mid-air. He held his phone tightly, asking, "What's wrong?"Natasha wanted to ask where Ryan was exactly. However, after some consideration, she decided to keep her questions to herself.Where Ryan was, why he hadn't gone home at this hour, and whether he was deliberately hiding something were all his private matters.She shouldn't pry too much.Natasha paused. "Well… since it's so late, and you're not home yet, don't reach the lab earlier than me tomorrow. Don't bother coming
Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 192
"Um… Professor, I didn't mean to show up early. I couldn't sleep, so I ended up here," Ryan explained in a hesitant tone.He added, "I hope you're not upset. I thought since I couldn't sleep, I might as well get up and do some work in the laboratory."Natasha blinked at his words and then wore a stern expression."I made it clear yesterday. What's the point of beating me to the lab? Are you trying to challenge me?" she asked, sounding genuinely annoyed.Ryan, visibly nervous, seemed a bit awkward.Seeing his reaction, Natasha couldn't help but crack a smile, breaking the serious act she had just put on.She cleared her throat and said, "No hard feelings, okay? I actually planned to come early today, but I overslept. Don't be so tense. Did I really look that intimidating? You're all jittery…""No, not at all." Ryan quickly waved it off, and the tension from before instantly dissipated.He scratched his head, looking somewhat sheepish."Have you grabbed breakfast yet? I brought
