Natasha snorted. "Seducing men? I'm seducing men everywhere I go?""I'm standing right here, and you still want to deny it?" Joshua clenched his fists tighter."Deny it?" Natasha found it amusing, and a faint smile played on her lips. "That's completely unfounded, but since you're so sure, does it really matter whether I deny it or not?"Natasha knew that whatever she said, Joshua wouldn't believe her.Bewildered, Malcolm sat there, unable to recover for a while.Why was Joshua so angry? What did they mean when they said she was seducing Malcolm? Natasha was also wearing an expression he had never seen before.The two obviously had something going on between them that Malcolm didn't know about.The situation confused him. Then, his eyes landed on the woman standing next to Joshua, only to see that she was smiling.Malcolm's intuition told him that she was taking pleasure in their predicament.In response to Natasha's sarcasm, Joshua stared at Natasha with his dark eyes."You
"Of course, it's a photo of you and Malcolm," Natalie said playfully.Malcolm frowned while Natasha sneered. There was nothing between her and Malcolm, and she had already minimized her contact with him as much as possible.She was curious to see what photo Natalie would produce.Natalie didn't beat around the bush. She took out her phone and located the photos she had pre-processed, displaying them boldly to them.Natasha subconsciously reached out for it.Raising an eyebrow, Natalie moved away from Natasha's hands and handed the phone to Joshua instead, leaving Natasha dumbfounded.Wearing a cold expression, Joshua took the phone from her, staring at the photo. In the picture, a man and a woman were standing close together, both wearing smiles on their faces.As the two people in the photo were standing next to a dim street lamp, their faces were not very clear. However, the smile on the woman's face in the photo was very infectious.Joshua found the smile rather blinding.
Joshua's attention was drawn to the contract on the table. He approached it, wanting to see what was written on it.At that moment, Natasha's attention was completely focused on the photo. She did not notice that Joshua's expression had changed, let alone that Joshua had already seen the contract.Meanwhile, Malcolm was still digesting this big news. Based on the current situation, it appeared that Joshua and Professor Nancy were married.When that ridiculous inference came to him, he trembled all over. He turned to Natasha with a conflicted look in his eyes.Was it true that the two of them were married?Malcolm felt his head pounding, and he was unable to say anything for a while. Gradually, he realized he was trembling slightly as if his blood's temperature had fallen.He didn't want to acknowledge it. But various signs and his recent conversation with Professor Nancy made it undeniable that Joshua and Professor Nancy were indeed married.How could this be?Suddenly, Malcolm
Joshua's existence had touched that tree of emotions in him, and he could barely maintain his calm composure."It's great that you know you're not worthy. Hurry up and leave Josh. He must be so disgusted by you right now."While the word "disgusted" didn't affect Natasha, it struck Malcolm's heart.He frowned as he knew that there was nothing between him and Professor Nancy. However, her expression puzzled him. Did Natalie really capture something in her photo?He refused to burden Natasha or cause her to lose her original lifestyle or her marriage.Malcolm forced himself to snap out of his befuddled state."Let me see that." Malcolm approached Natasha, leaning over to take a look at the photo.Natasha handed him the phone.Malcolm picked up the phone, and the photo showed a man and a woman in an intimate embrace.Dumbfounded, he looked up at Natalie in disbelief. "You—""Are you going to say that I'm stalking you?" Natalie crossed her arms and took on an innocent tone. "I ha
Natasha was completely stunned. "Uh…"Meanwhile, Natalie continued to stare at them, unaware that something was amiss. "Josh, what professor are you talking about?"Professor Nancy? Professor Nancy isn't here. Josh, is there a reason you're looking for her?""Of course, there's a reason I'm looking for Professor Nancy," Joshua replied, staring straight at Natasha.It was as if he already had the answer.Natasha was a little flustered, feeling as anxious as a fox in a trapMalcolm calling her "professor" in front of Joshua caught her completely off guard. She wondered what she could do. Given her situation, it was impossible for her to come up with excuses like before.Noticing Natasha's furrowed brows and slightly panicked expression, Malcolm finally realized something was amiss. He recalled how she had suddenly grabbed his sleeve previously, trying to stop him from speaking. Had he said something wrong?Turning to Natasha, he asked quietly, "Did I say something wrong?"Nata
As he flipped through the document, thoughts ran through his head.Professor Nancy, whom the Grayson family had been searching for so desperately for many days, turned out to be Natasha. Was Professor Nancy truly an orphan with no background?Natasha was initially frantic. However, Malcolm's words erased panic."Put down the contract, Joshua." Natasha's tone was calm yet commanding. It sounded very authoritative in the quiet room.Joshua stopped paging through the document and raised his head to look at her."Is this what Mr. Grayson Senior taught you? Who allowed you to take others' things? How insolent!"Joshua narrowed his eyes."Do you not understand what I'm saying? Are all the members of the Grayson family so rude? Is this a Grayson family tradition?" Natasha found his arrogant behavior of taking someone else's belongings without permission simply repulsive.Staring at Joshua, she locked eyes with him."Natasha, how dare you speak to Josh like that? Isn't it you who is
Joshua looked at her, repeating Natasha's words, "You don't feel like talking?""Yes, I don't feel like talking." Natasha pursed her lips, calmly meeting his gaze.Ever since that incident, she had made up her mind not to grant authorization to the Grayson family again. Since she had made up her mind, she had to stick to her decision.Hearing Natasha's resolute answer, Joshua was stunned. A stiff expression appeared on his face.The calm atmosphere in the Velvet Lounge was merely a facade, and undercurrents of dissension were running beneath its surface.The atmosphere was very strange."Are you…" Joshua started to say, sounding strained.As he spoke, he looked at the contract. In the end, however, he didn't complete his sentence."Joshua, when did you start stammering when you speak?" As if she had lost her patience, Natasha interrupted him.Joshua turned his gaze back to her and completed his sentence."Are you really Professor Nancy?" He stared at Natasha unabashedly, as i
Due to Natasha's reminder, he addressed her as "Ms. Sullivan" instead of "Professor".If Natasha were his wife, he would never speak to her like that.Joshua raised his head and looked at Malcolm strangely as if it was his first time seeing him. After a while, he sneered disdainfully and smirked."My wife? How do you think I should speak to a wife who cheats?"Although his words crossed the line, Natasha remained calm. Neither embarrassment nor shame appeared on her face.However, someone else began to speak loudly."Ms. Sullivan did not cheat," Malcolm said each word clearly.Natasha jumped in surprise.Malcolm seemed even angrier than her. It was as if he was the one being wrongly accused.Natasha turned to him and reassured him, saying, "It's okay. As long as I know I'm innocent, there's no need to explain to him. What goes around comes around."There wasn't a point trying to fix something that wasn't broken.Malcolm was stunned. He turned to Natasha, admiring the peacefu
