Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 290
"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

Natasha gaped at Lorelei and Joshua. She was shaken because she hadn't expected to meet them like this. Despite her dislike for Joshua, Natasha had no intention of destroying the Graysons.Though disgusted by their actions, she respected Jacob and would not dismantle what Jacob had worked so hard to protect.The words she spoke were desperate. They were meant only to convince Marcus to help the Toussaints.Natasha could see that Lorelei was shaken to the core. Not only was her face pale, but her legs were shaking, and she was barely able to hold herself upright.Natasha's mind went blank, but she could feel Joshua's fierce stare and the cold vibe he radiated.However, Joshua's reaction was of no concern to Natasha. Lorelei's feelings were all she cared about as she saw Lorelei as a mother figure.It was likely that Lorelei had absorbed all of her words and hadn't missed a thing.Natasha could imagine how heartbroken Lorelei must feel. She had spoken such merciless words when Lor

Marcus stroked his white beard, looking inscrutable as he pretended to grumble, "Harriet, why didn't you remind me?"He turned his attention to Lorelei. "Madam Lorelei, what brings you here today?"Lorelei didn't even bother to look at him. She kept staring at Natasha as if she wanted to hear Natasha's answer.Marcus didn't get angry when he saw Lorelei ignore him. He just watched Lorelei and Natasha with a great deal of interest.After a moment of silence, he finally spoke up, "What's going on? Have you two been arguing?"Natasha saw a hint of glee in Marcus' eyes."You don't have to wait for Natasha's answer. She's still trying to come up with an excuse. Isn't that why she's been quiet for so long?" Joshua's cold voice cut in.He wore a suit and had one hand in his pocket. He stared at Natasha indifferently. Sarcasm dripped from what Joshua said, but Natasha remained silent."Tasha isn't that kind of person," Lorelei murmured."She hasn't come up with an excuse yet, and you'

Lorelei and Marcus stood there in shock. Even Natasha was startled by Joshua's words. She wondered if he was retaliating against her by deliberately revealing her identity.Natasha would be in more danger if more people knew who she was. She glowered at Joshua, who met her eyes unemotionally."What's the matter, Ms. Sullivan? Are you denying it? Mr. Fletcher despises lying above all else. I am an example of someone whom he despises. Do you want to end up the way I did?" Joshua smirked.His words implied that Marcus wasn't going to help her if she didn't admit who she was.Natasha scoffed."Didn't you come to Marcus about something today? You lied to Marcus. Do you think he'll help you?" Joshua stressed every word he spoke.He believed he had Natasha in his pocket and could play with her thoughts with ease. He was forcing her to admit she was working for Professor Nancy.Marcus snorted. He didn't buy it. "Professor Nancy's assistant? You have a lot of nerve saying that, Mr. Grays

"It depends on whether you believe that I'm Professor Nancy's assistant."The confidence in Natasha's tone confused Marcus. He seemed to subconsciously believe Natasha's identity. Perhaps it was the composure in Natasha's demeanor, or perhaps she exuded a hint of a pharmaceutical expert's vibe.Satisfied with Natasha's reaction, Joshua said, "You've misunderstood the incident in which you thought that I had deliberately given a false letter of authorization to Havenfield. I would never do anything like that."You can ask Natasha, Professor Nancy's assistant, if you don't believe me. She's the one who gave me the letter of authorization. The misunderstanding happened because I took the wrong letter."Natasha hadn't expected Joshua to use her identity to whitewash his image. Joshua was indeed crafty."Is it true?" Marcus looked solemn as he waited for Natasha to answer. Joshua was quietly waiting for her answer as well."Oh? Is it?" Natasha smiled thinly.She didn't want Joshua's

Natasha grinned. "I like how direct you are. It's a deal. You'll help the Toussaints restore their cash flow."Suddenly, Natasha seemed to remember something and added, "You wouldn't go back on your word, would you?""Certainly not! Do I look like someone who would go back on my word?" Marcus assured her.Having gotten to know Professor Nancy's assistant, he was feeling upbeat and spoke more enthusiastically, "Ms. Sullivan, rest assured! I'll restore the Toussaints' cash flow today!"It was definitely a deal worth making for Marcus to get such a powerful partner with so little effort.Natasha nodded with a smile.Meanwhile, Lorelei watched Natasha with mixed emotions while trying hard to shake off the negative feelings.She was no fool and could tell that Natasha was avoiding her questions. Natasha would not refuse to answer her questions unless she felt guilty.Lorelei had been the Grayson family's matriarch long enough to see all kinds of situations.She had even been a gues

Joshua glared icily at Natasha, who had already had her wish.Feeling uncomfortable with him staring at her, Natasha asked, "Mr. Grayson, just say what needs to be said. You don't have to hold it in."Marcus was overwhelmed with joy. He only remembered Joshua and Lorelei when he heard what Natasha said.While stroking his beard, he asked, "Madam Lorelei, what brings you here? Go on, speak up, you don't need to hold back. Natasha is also considered a Grayson."Natasha couldn't help but look at Marcus, who didn't even bother to hold back his words as soon as he got what he wanted. She was about to divorce Joshua, and the Graysons were none of her business.Yet, Lorelei didn't feel anything strange about it. She recalled that she was there to discuss a collaboration with Havenfield.Having calmed herself, Lorelei said sincerely, "I'm here to discuss the misunderstanding about Josh bringing you a fake letter of authorization."That was indeed a mistake, and Josh already mentioned th

Shawn followed close behind Natasha."Ms. Sullivan! Are you leaving already? What about the Serranoa coffee you were talking about?" Marcus hurried to catch up. He was oblivious to the situation.Shawn and Natasha frowned. Natasha walked on impatiently and said, "Just tell me the amount when you've decided."Perhaps feeling rude, she added, "I'll deliver the Serranoa coffee over to you as soon as I get them.""Oh, great! Awesome!" Marcus stroked his beard with delight. Natasha's help was just in time as his supply of Serranoa coffee was running low.Natasha was in a hurry to get out of there, but Marcus was standing in her way. Shawn scowled."Marcus—" Natasha began, but Shawn cut her off from behind."Move," Shawn said unpleasantly. It was rare to see him speak. He looked intimidating in his buzz cut.Marcus was startled. Remembering how Shawn had confronted Harriet, he quietly stepped aside. "I'm getting in the way, aren't I? I'll move over."Shawn stepped past him with a st
