Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 210
Malcolm spoke up just then. "The Toussaint family has already signed an agreement with another company prior to this. EngenCorp Group really can't afford the large capital needed to work with Grayson Corp for this project now."That was all Malcolm could say. He silently prayed for Joshua to have mercy on the Toussaint family and EngenCorp Group by not pursuing the matter any longer."Who are you guys working with now?" Joshua asked.As far as Joshua recalled, EngenCorp Group wasn't the top pharmaceutical company in Oceanville. But even so, it wasn't so lacking as to not have the money needed to fund two projects.But Malcolm wouldn't be bold enough to lie given the current circumstances, which could only mean EngenCorp Group was working with a big company.This company might not even be based in Oceanville and might even be more powerful than Grayson Corp."I really can't reveal that information. You know we have to sign a non-disclosure agreement when it comes to these projects

"Say that again." Audrey set her cutlery down, expression now serious. She seemed to be in disbelief at what the waiter had said."Mr. Toussaint… is in trouble!" the waiter panted out, heaving as he took in harsh gulps of air.This time, Audrey heard the waiter clearly. She stood up, worried. "How did Malcolm get in trouble? What exactly happened?"Natasha looked worried, too."My. Grayson… was forcing Mr. Toussaint to sign a partnership agreement, but Mr. Toussaint didn't want to, so Mr. Grayson wanted to harm Mr. Toussaint."His bodyguard is too strong, and Mr. Toussaint can't defeat him on his own…" the waiter huffed out. "I fear for Mr. Toussaint's safety…"Audrey's hands began trembling. "How dare Joshua Grayson try to hurt my grandson?"Natasha's brows were knitted even tighter together now.Joshua wanted to harm Malcolm, all because Malcolm didn't want to work with the Grayson family? That didn't seem like Joshua's way of doing things at all.Joshua wasn't the kind of p

Natasha had her dilemma for a moment longer before she finally decided to trust Malcolm. She then went out and headed for the room next door.Meanwhile, Audrey had barged into the other room, yelling, "If you dare to hurt my grandson here on our turf, Joshua Grayson, I'll make you pay with your life!"However, the room was utterly silent, which surprised Audrey. She hadn't expected to see Malcolm sitting on a chair and not in a dangerous situation whatsoever."Uh…""You're here, Grandma." Malcolm quickly got up to help support Audrey.Audrey still hadn't processed what was going on. "Weren't you in trouble? What's going on here?""It's a long story…" Malcolm didn't know where to begin.Joshua stood up, facing Audrey. "Madam Sullivan, my name is Joshua Grayson. I'm Grayson Corp's president.""You don't need to introduce yourself. I know who you are." Audrey's tone was not the friendliest.Before she finished speaking, a sudden wave of bodyguards flocked into the room, all clad

Joshua's expression was unreadable now that Audrey had rejected his instruction.Though ordinary people might only see Joshua's expression as cold and distant as usual, Natasha could read more emotion from him. There was a sort of exasperation on his face from being challenged.It arose whenever Joshua's words were rejected by others, an expression which Natasha had seen on many occasions."Who knows if someone as unpredictable as Mr. Grayson might decide to hurt one of our own later on?" Audrey said directly. "So, the bodyguards won't leave. They're going to stay right here."Audrey had long been privy to the countless rumors in Oceanville about Joshua's ruthless actions. That was why she wasn't going to let her grandson nor her entire family be placed in danger.The bodyguards would be able to keep Malcolm and the rest of the family safe.Natasha's brows creased. Audrey had clearly not noticed Joshua's change in expression. Her rude tone would only piss off Joshua more, draggin

Natasha sighed and marveled at how "lucky" she was. Why did the bodyguards all flock here the moment she opened the door?Who knew what Joshua planned to discuss with the Toussaints? She couldn't stand here for long.Regardless, the Toussaints didn't seem to be in any danger anymore. Natasha just hoped for an opportunity to leave."What kind of contract do you insist on signing with us, Mr. Grayson?" Audrey asked, straightforward as always.Natasha cocked an eyebrow curiously, not expecting the old lady to be so direct. She hadn't noticed this trait of Audrey's earlier when they were speaking.Maybe it was because Natasha despised how vague Natalie was, but right now, she found herself fond of straightforward people.Joshua handed Audrey the agreement on the desk. "Have a look."Audrey didn't accept it. Instead, she turned to look at Malcolm.Malcolm gave her a reassuring look. "This was the document Mr. Grayson gave me earlier. You can read through it."Only then did Audrey a

After being turned down time and again, Joshua was furious. His face was grim, and his already icy demeanor appeared even more rigid. A cold and ruthless presence radiated from him."The Grayson family can step in and resolve the mistakes the Toussaint family made in Oceanville before. If the price is unsatisfactory, Grayson Corporation can appropriately lower it."This was the most significant compromise he could make.The Toussaint family's uncooperative attitude had infuriated Joshua.Audrey didn't respond to Joshua's offer. She was evidently uninterested in his concession.Malcolm couldn't help but feel anxious for Audrey. He subtly looked up at Joshua and saw that his face had grown even darker.Natasha raised an eyebrow. She knew that Joshua rarely showed his emotions. If he displayed such an expression, it meant his patience had run out.Malcolm also noticed that something was off with Joshua. He quickly intervened, "Mr. Grayson… If there are any other projects in the fut

Joshua finally wanted to leave, but the bodyguards stood there unmoving. By doing so, they were obviously causing trouble for Malcolm. He couldn't help but feel these people were completely oblivious!Upon hearing Malcolm's voice, the lead bodyguard glanced uncertainly at Audrey.After receiving a positive response, he promptly made way for a clear path. Other bodyguards quickly followed suit and stepped aside."Take care, Mr. Grayson. If there are any projects in the future, feel free to come back and find us," Malcolm said as he walked over to Joshua and extended his hand in a gesture for Joshua to leave.It was clear that while he verbally welcomed Joshua to come again, he actually hoped Joshua would leave as soon as possible.As the bodyguards in front began to make way, Natasha pressed her lips together and quickly stepped aside as well.Joshua's face turned grim as he continued walking. He was drawing closer and closer to Natasha.Natasha couldn't help but hold her breath.

Audrey looked at Natasha and said sincerely, "Thank you so much, Ms. Sullivan."Natasha nodded. "This is what I should do. There's no need to thank me."However, looking at Joshua's expression, it seems he's already angry. In such an enraged state, he didn't confront the Toussaint family. That's something I didn't expect."Malcolm rubbed his hands, and he sounded somewhat embarrassed. "Honestly, I didn't expect my grandma to be so straightforward. She didn't even give Joshua a bit of leeway."Natasha chuckled. The way Audrey spoke certainly didn't leave any leeway for Joshua. She guessed Joshua had never been treated like this before in his whole life.Audrey's temper flared up again when Malcolm brought up the incident. She sat upright and slammed her cup onto the table."He went as far as to physically attack Malcolm and completely disregarded the Toussaint family. Do you still expect me to give him an easy way out? Not a chance!"She then added, "He disrespects others and sti
