Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 238
Natasha furrowed her brow. Ryan didn't seem like a liar, and he spoke without uneasiness. He had obviously been to those restaurants.She began to sense that Ryan had a distinguished background and questioned how he could willingly stay in the lab as an assistant.Besides, Oceanville's wealthy people generally looked down on these affordable restaurants. They thought that these budget restaurants were not very hygienic and that eating there would lower their status.However, Ryan had been to this particular place several times and knew the owner quite well.All of a sudden, Natasha remembered that time she saw Ryan at the Zales residence.Just as she was speculating who Ryan might be, she looked up to see him carefully pouring her a cup of coffee. The sound of the coffee pouring out of the pot was a pleasant one."Where did you get the coffee?" Natasha asked in amazement. Coffee wasn't on the menu in this place."Don't you like coffee? I specifically asked Mr. Huffman for it. Th

Ryan frowned when he heard Malcolm's name.Gina, who was nearby, was also surprised. Before this, Natalie had told Gina that the person in the photo was Malcolm, EngenCorp Group's president. Even though Gina was just a housekeeper, she knew that someone with the title of president had to be wealthy and influential.Excitement bubbled in Gina's heart. She hadn't expected to see Malcolm calling Natasha by chance.She shifted her body and glanced in Natasha's direction. Perhaps her movement was too conspicuous, Ryan, who was sitting across from Natasha, looked in her direction.Their eyes met. Gina gasped inwardly and lowered her head.Trying to hide her nervousness, she cleared her throat and pushed the clam chowder toward Jonas while stealing a few glances at Ryan."Why are you shoving it at me when I already said I don't want clam chowder?" Jonas grew even angrier.Gina was wondering if Ryan had noticed her. She heard Jonas speaking but didn't catch what he was saying. She cas

"We've run into some cash flow problems," Malcolm said in an urgent tone."Huh? How could that be? Hadn't the Toussaints set aside the necessary funds for this project in advance?"It shouldn't affect the funds for this project even if the company is in trouble," Natasha said confusedly."We have prepared the cash flow in advance. Strangely, there has been a very suspicious interruption in our cash flow. Someone is clearly targeting the Toussaints," Malcolm speculated boldly."Targeting the Toussaints?"Ryan looked at Natasha solemnly with a frown on his face. He wanted to know what Malcolm had said that made her so concerned.After a moment's thought, Natasha responded, "If that's the case, then someone must have known that the Toussaints had prepared the cash flow and is aware of the Tranquilix project."But our project is so closely held, who would know that the Toussaints were working with me on the Tranquilix project?""That's the weird part," Malcolm said gravely."The o

"Regal Repast?" Natasha repeated what Malcolm said. Given the current situation, it was indeed necessary to discuss possible solutions with the Toussaints.Malcolm couldn't help but feel anxious as Natasha remained silent on the other end of the line."Professor, things are pressing. I had no other choice but to call you."The Graysons are well connected to several banks. Mr. Grayson's been in direct contact with the presidents of those banks this time, and they've frozen all of our funds."From the moment Natasha mentioned Joshua's involvement, Malcolm quickly understood the incident.He remembered that everyone seemed distraught that day when he arrived at EngenCorp Group. The secretary reluctantly told him about EngenCorp Group's cash flow problem only after he pressed her.Subsequently, major banks in Oceanville called the Toussaints. They claimed that problems at the banks were affecting the operation of their funds.It was clear that this was no coincidence at all. Joshua'

Not long after he started eating, Ryan put his utensils down.He was still feeling down, and his heart was beating fast as if he was in crisis.He couldn't shake off his discomfort. Didn't Natasha tell Malcolm to contact him directly? Why did he still call Natasha directly as if Ryan didn't exist?Ryan was a little frustrated. He picked up the jug of water to pour himself a glass. Seeing that Natasha's glass was empty too, he took her cup and filled it.Around two hours later, Ryan drove them away after their meal.After thinking about it, Natasha decided to tell Ryan about what Malcolm had said. After all, she was only in charge of the project on paper. Ryan was the main force behind it."Joshua made a move against the Toussaint family.""What?" Ryan was stunned to hear Natasha suddenly say that.He quickly returned to his senses and asked, "So, the Toussaints' financial supply chain is disrupted because of Joshua?""Yes, so I'm going to discuss how to solve this with the Tou

"No, it's fine. It's what I ought to do."Although Gina was happy, she didn't let it show on her face. Instead, she put on an act, as if she were devoted to serving Natalie wholeheartedly, without seeking any reward.She had to pretend to refuse her offer at least a little."Well, here's what I'm going to do. I'll give you a raise next month. You've been by my side taking care of me, and you've always been working so hard. You deserve it," Natalie said as she took a sip of her chicken noodle soup.After all, increasing Gina's salary would just mean cutting back on a few clothing purchases."Well, in that case, thank you, Ms. Lovelace," Gina said, not refusing this time. Her gratitude was written on her face."I also made you your favorite chocolate truffle cake. Please have some." Gina headed to the kitchen to bring out a delicate chocolate truffle cake.Natalie took the plate from her, closing her eyes as she ate. She planned to talk to Joshua about the matter after finishing t

"No, I'm not going up anymore. Carry on with your work." Natalie waved him away, indicating for Terry to go upstairs.She returned to the car.What on earth was Joshua so busy with? Was he too busy to pay her any attention?Could an authorization process really keep Joshua occupied for so long? Wasn't it just an authorization? Couldn't Radiance get someone else to handle it directly?She didn't think this matter would hurt Grayson Corp in any way.Grayson Corp had been doing so well over the years. There was no need to worry about such a minor authorization. Joshua was just making a big deal out of nothing.He had cast her aside because of such a small matter.She was a little angry. Unable to get over it, she took out her phone and dialed Joshua's number, ready to ask him about it.The call connected."Hello?" Joshua answered in his deep voice. Although it was a single word, it was still intimidating.Natalie immediately hesitated.The emotions that had brewed up in her d

When Malcolm walked into Gwen Restaurant, a nearby waiter immediately welcomed him."Hello, sir. Could you please show your membership card?"EngenCorp Group had a venue exclusively used to receive guests—Regal Repast. Hence, Malcolm didn't frequent Gwen Restaurant, and the waiters there didn't recognize him."Sure." Nodding, he took out his phone to show the membership card to the waiter. It was something he had obtained at the last minute the previous night.His membership card was gold in color. Although it wasn't the highest membership level at Gwen Restaurant, he was still a distinguished guest.After the waiter checked the card, he lowered his head humbly. "Good evening, Mr. Toussaint. Please head this way."Malcolm put his phone back in his pocket and followed the waiter to the elegantly decorated front desk. Three receptionists were standing in front of the front desk, and all of them were dolled up and looked rather attractive.Meanwhile, Natalie had long been standing
