Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 213
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

As they approached the entrance, Natasha suddenly said, "By the way, Mr. Toussaint, there's something I'd like to ask of you."Upon hearing Natasha's request, Malcolm almost instantly stopped in his tracks. "Please go ahead. What can I do to help you? Whatever it is, I will do my utmost to assist you."Natasha said, "It's not a big deal, actually. I just want to ask you to abide by the confidentiality agreement and not reveal my identity. After all, if my identity were exposed, I might face some danger."Due to the matter's significance, she still felt the need to remind him.Malcolm nodded. "You can rest assured. Our family upholds the spirit of contracts. Since we've already signed the confidentiality agreement, we will keep it confidential."Furthermore, when Joshua asked about it earlier, I didn't mention anything. If I didn't mention it today, then I won't mention it in the future." His tone was firm and convincing."Mm. Since only the Toussaint family knows my identity in a
Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 219
The girl in the car had a tiny face, barely the size of a palm. Her lively, large eyes, along with the faint smile on her face, made her look extremely pure. This pure and captivating face undoubtedly belonged to Natalie.She was seated in the car, next to which were heaps of luxury shopping bags. Clearly, she had bought so many luxury items that the trunk couldn't hold them all, so she had to place them on the back seat.The bright smile on her face made it obvious that Natalie had just finished shopping at the mall and was in a pleasant mood.However, she seemed to find sitting in the car for a long time a bit boring, so she randomly picked up one of the shopping bags from the pile.In the passenger seat, Gina caught the movement from the back seat and discreetly looked at Natalie through the rearview mirror.While shopping at the mall just now, Natalie casually bought rows of luxury items, attempting to display the grandeur of the Grayson family's lady.Gina was truly surprise
Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 220
"Thank you, Ms. Lovelace. Thank you…" Gina thanked Natalie several times in a row. Her emotions were hard to contain.Natalie's eyes held a warm and friendly smiling expression. "I remember you like brown, right? If I got it wrong, I can go back and exchange it for another color."She casually passed on the unwanted shawl to Gina. By doing so, not only did she get rid of the eyesore, but she also earned Gina's gratitude. It was truly a win-win situation."Yes, I like brown. I didn't expect you to remember what color I like, Ms. Lovelace. It's… It's really unexpected." Gina struggled to find the words.Natalie smiled knowingly. She thought to herself that the shawl was well worth giving.She observed Gina's expression and knew that the latter was clearly touched. If she continued to be deliberately kind to her in the future, Gina would undoubtedly serve her wholeheartedly."There's no need to thank me. We're like family. You can always talk to me about anything in the future. Don'
