Natasha carefully read the information Ryan had sent her. It was written there that Joshua had been kicked out by Marcus Fletcher, Havenfield International Hospital's director.Havenfield and Joshua had a cooperative relationship. The Grayson Corporation took care of the supply while Havenfield took care of selling the medications.Since they were all in it together, Natasha suspected that there was something fishy about the fact that Marcus had kicked Joshua out.With this information in hand, she headed to the walk-in closet upstairs to change her clothes. The room was spacious, but there weren't many clothes, which gave it a somewhat desolate feel.Back when Natasha was at the Grayson mansion, she had a similarly large walk-in closet filled with a variety of expensive clothes. Her clothes were worth enough to buy a business.Everyone envied Natasha for being spoiled by Joshua. No one would spend so much money buying clothes for their spouse except for Joshua. However, Natasha k
Natasha never wore those luxurious gowns again after moving out of Grayson Villa.Perhaps out of habit over the past three years, she had unexpectedly bought some gowns while shopping. She opted for a pearly white gown.The hem reached halfway down her thighs, with a low-cut design and a halter neck. It set off Natasha's glowing complexion.After changing into the gown, she was slightly startled when she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. It took a moment for her to recognize herself.Natasha shook her head somewhat ironically.As soon as she was done, she hurried down the stairs.Her attire today had a meaning. She planned to visit the Fletcher residence as "Mrs. Grayson" to gather some information so as not to reveal her identity.Havenfield was the Graysons' largest business partner, and they also did business with the banks under Joshua's control.Havenfield would certainly put more pressure on those banks than the Graysons. Everything could be settled if Natasha co
Natasha couldn't help but feel a little anxious as the housekeeper hadn't returned yet. Facing the two menacing bodyguards, Alex and Niel, she asked, "Can you help me deliver a message?"The two of them remained unmoved.Sighing, Natasha removed the pearl necklace she wore. Each pearl was perfectly round and lustrous. They shimmered in the sunlight.She handed it to Alex and Niel and said, "This is a token of my appreciation. Can you deliver a message to Mr. Fletcher?"Alex and Niel glanced at the necklace indifferently as if they were questioning the pearls' authenticity. The duo showed no interest at all.Anticipating this, Natasha slowly added, "I bought this necklace from abroad. Each pearl is worth tens of thousands of dollars. So, how much do you think the necklace is worth?"Natasha blinked as if she couldn't grasp how much it was worth. She handed the necklace over to the duo. "Why don't you help me figure out how much this necklace is worth?"Alex and Niel swallowed har
The skeptical look on Niel's face immediately disappeared.Suddenly, Alex remembered the car that had just pulled up in front of the entrance and exclaimed, "She drove the best Maybach! I saw it!"Natasha smiled as she handed the necklace to one of them. "So, can I go in now?""Of course, please enter." Alex and Niel had an immediate change in their attitude toward Natasha. They lowered their heads and spoke respectfully. They couldn't help calling it a lucky day.Natasha nodded, then turned to look at Shawn.Shawn understood her at once. He closed the umbrella and tossed it to Alex and Niel. The umbrella arced in the air, and Alex was quick enough to catch it.Shawn's actions didn't offend Alex at all. He cradled the umbrella in his arms and said politely, "Please come in."Natasha and Shawn entered the Fletcher residence one after the other. Alex and Niel remained where they were as they watched their figures slowly fade out of sight.Alex kept touching the black umbrella ove
Harriet was still nimble even though she was wearing a tight-fitting dress. Moving with lightning speed and sharpness, she bent her knee and kicked.Natasha had no time to dodge. She gave in and closed her eyes, but the pain she was expecting never came.She saw Shawn's stocky frame as she opened her eyes. He caught Harriet's leg, and the veins in his wrist bulged. His face was expressionless as if he felt no pain at all.Natasha blinked. She had been on her own for so long that she almost forgot that Shawn was standing right behind her. She wasn't going to be in any danger with him around.Harriet frowned and threw a more lethal punch at Shawn. Shawn didn't move an inch, catching her wrist in a flash.He showed her no mercy. As soon as he had her in his grip, he quickly twisted her wrist in the opposite direction, causing her to wince in pain.Shawn kicked Harriet in the knee with his right foot while she was distracted. She was thrown almost two feet away.Natasha stared at Sh
Natasha got it right away. She put her hand over her mouth and pretended to be surprised. "He had a forged letter of authorization? How can that be?"Marcus snorted. "Why not? Ask Joshua himself. He truly disgraced the Graysons!"Natasha agreed with Marcus' words completely and smiled sarcastically. Joshua had done a whole lot of things to bring shame to the Grayson family.She quickly went back to being the soft-spoken "Mrs. Grayson" she had been.Seeing how surprised she was, Marcus instructed impatiently, "Get out of here!"Natasha didn't budge. She asked cautiously, "So, does Havenfield still have plans to collaborate with the Graysons?"Marcus sneered. "Collaborate? Do the Graysons have no shame at all? Let Joshua know that Havenfield will work with any company in Oceanville but not Grayson Corp! Get him to drop the idea!"Natasha was secretly pleased. A solution to the Toussaints' problem seemed to be within reach. She blurted, "I'm glad to hear that.""Glad?" Marcus look
Natasha watched Marcus' expression as he spoke. He didn't seem as impatient as before.Feeling relieved, she said bluntly, "I want you to help restore the Toussaints' cash flow."Marcus remained expressionless.Harriet, who was standing nearby, muttered scornfully, "You were so arrogant earlier. I thought you might have something of value to offer to Havenfield."You're here begging Havenfield for help, yet you still dare to fight us. How shameless!"Marcus and Natasha heard her loud and clear. Harriet's words were true, and Natasha had no words of protest.Marcus sipped his coffee with no reaction to Harriet's mockery. Natasha understood that his silence meant he agreed with what Harriet was saying."It was our fault. I apologize on Shawn's behalf." Natasha's tone was neither overbearing nor restrained."Mrs. Grayson, you're overreacting." Marcus set his cup down on the table.He inadvertently glanced at the steaming coffee in front of Natasha and pushed the cup toward her. "
"I know you wanted my help, but everything must go moderately, no? You shouldn't have boasted recklessly, even if you were eager."What's the difference between the way you're acting and the way Joshua has cheated by using a fake authorization?" Marcus said in an exasperated tone.Natasha pursed her lips.Marcus gestured and said, "You'd better go. Think twice before speaking and take today as a lesson from me."At first, he thought he had found a kindred spirit. Then, he realized that Natasha was nothing more than an ignorant person.Natasha explained earnestly, "I wasn't boasting. I have a friend who loves coffee—""I'll throw you out now if you don't leave. Don't blame me later for being rude." Marcus waved repeatedly. He didn't want to listen any longer.Natasha wanted to continue. Harriet saw this and wanted to drag her off.Shawn noticed Harriet's move. He quickly got in front of Natasha and blocked her.Harriet was furious and attacked Shawn directly. She threw a viciou
