Judging from the look in Lorelei's eyes, it was obvious that she knew who Natalie was. But why did she look so shocked?Hadn't Joshua told his mother anything about Natalie's return to the country? Why not?Didn't he want to marry Natalie? He had to tell his mother at some point, right? Why would he keep Natalie a secret from Lorelei? Was there something else he was concerned about?Despite all the questions running through her head, Natasha didn't pursue the topic any further. She lowered her gaze and said nothing. She didn't want to know anything about it. She also didn't want to get involved in the Graysons family's matters anymore."Tasha, do you know about Natalie?" Lorelei asked with some difficulty. There was a look of panic in her eyes.Natasha nodded slightly.Lorelei was utterly shocked. So, that was why Natasha had insisted on divorcing Joshua. It was because Natalie had returned for some god-forsaken reason!And to think that the woman had kept such a high profile
Back then, the president of Grayson Corp, William Grayson, and his son, Jacob, had been on their way to a meeting when they had been involved in a fatal accident. Lorelei had broken down after hearing about it, and her mental state had never been the same after that.As soon as word of Grayson Corp's president's passing had gotten out, the company's stock price had plummeted. It had caused widespread panic among the shareholders. It had been somewhat similar to a stock market crash.Everyone had said that Grayson Corporation was done for and that it would never regain its former status and glory. Their business partners at the time had betrayed them, one by one, as Grayson Corp's rivals surpassed it and forced it into a corner.Back then, if anyone brought up Grayson Corporation, they would be immediately told to shut up.That was when Natalie had decided to leave.Lorelei didn't want to think about the past. Whenever she did, it would bring back unpleasant memories, and it af
Lorelei looked at the diamond ring in Natasha's hand. The crystal clear gem had a faint crimson color, making it impossible for people to look away. Thomas' eyes widened as well."You mean this diamond ring?" asked Natasha as she waved her hand before the astonished Lorelei.That was perhaps the one. Thomas had never seen a diamond ring worth hundreds of millions of dollars before and only knew the fact that the ring was beautiful. So, he nodded blankly.Even though Lorelei had seen many previous jewels, she couldn't help but admire the charm of this diamond ring. No matter how beautiful it was, though, it did not belong to the Grayson family.She turned to Thomas and calmly asked, "Officer, did you make a mistake? The Grayson family has never had this diamond ring.""What?"Upon hearing this, Natalie's eyes flashed with surprise for a moment, but it was only fleeting. She thought Natasha must have sweet-talked Lorelei in advance to protect her. When she saw Natasha comin
Leaving everything behind and joining the Grayson family seemed quite pitiful now that she thought about it. Natasha's cold face turned somewhat pale. Her lips, drawn on with a bright shade of red lipstick, curved with a hint of helplessness and sadness."Lorelei, don't you think it's weird for Natasha to be so flawless for the past three years? "Since she loves Joshua so much, why would she suddenly ask for a divorce without any regrets?"With unwavering eyes, Natalie looked at Lorelei. Her gaze was so sincere that people would be easily moved by it."Lorelei, I'm doing all this for the good of the Grayson family," she added.However, Lorelei shook her head and said, "Are you really so considerate of the Graysons? "Then, why did you leave when the Graysons were in the most difficult situation? "Do you know how sad Joshua was when you left? Do you know how tough those days were for us?"She did not shy away from the police standing nearby as she spoke loudly. Natalie's e
He had witnessed everything this time!Joshua strode forward to help Natalie up and check if she had any injuries.Then, he asked gently, "Natalie, are you okay?"Natalie was panicking inwardly. Why did Joshua come back?She stood up awkwardly and tried to maintain her composure.Shaking her head, she replied, "I'm fine."Natasha was also surprised when he heard the man's voice. Why was he suddenly back? Did the conference end so soon?She lowered her gaze to observe the interaction between the two in front of her. Natalie had fallen at just the right moment. "Was it intentional?" Natasha sneered in her heart.Joshua looked up at her and said coldly, "There's no need for you to keep troubling Natalie."Natasha couldn't help raising an eyebrow at his words.Natalie managed to stabilize her emotions.She contemplated quickly and grasped the edge of Joshua's shirt, speaking in a coquettish voice. "Josh, I'm fine. Don't be so harsh on Natasha. She'll be upset."Joshua, alth
Natalie spoke gently, expressing herself with righteousness."Ms. Sullivan, do you have any evidence to support your claim that this diamond ring was auctioned by your friend?" Thomas asked.Joshua squinted his eyes, his gaze carrying indescribable emotions.Evidence? She assumed Zack had the transaction records, so she decided to give him a call."I think I do. Officer Shaw, please give me a moment. I'll call my friend."With that, mockery filled Natalie's eyes as she thought, "Still pretending? Is she trying to deceive everyone with a fake record? Let's see what evidence she can provide."Natasha dialed Zack's number."Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently out of service. Please try again later."Natasha was momentarily stunned. She dialed the same number again, and after a short while, she heard the same message."Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently out of service. Please try again later."Could Zack have wandered into the wilderness? How come his phone
"It was me who reported to the police," replied Natalie reluctantly.Natasha's lips curved into a smile as she looked at her, saying, "Do you believe me now?"Although Joshua had previously angered her, she had to admit that she appreciated his honesty. She was more than pleased to see Natalie's confident expression change into uneasiness.Natalie remained silent, a hint of unwillingness flashing in her eyes."This isn't the first time Natalie has wronged me. You should have already investigated the property transfer incident, right?" Natasha directed the question at Joshua, whose expression turned grim."She has repeatedly and wrongly accused me, previously, of transferring property and now stealing the Graysons' diamond ring. "What's it all for? Joshua, I don't believe you can't see through it," she added, sounding resolute.She had to remind him, or else the consequences when Natalie married into the Grayson family could be disastrous.Natalie's eyes filled with even mo
Before Thomas could reply, his colleagues behind him were already nodding repeatedly and saying, "Rest assured, we won't reveal anything!"Originally, they had not intended to spill. Now, with the butler's polite request, they felt even more embarrassed to say anything.Greg nodded thanks and waved to the bodyguards, who withdrew themselves. Thomas and his colleagues quickly entered the police car and drove away.Natasha withdrew her gaze and looked at Joshua with a cold smile."So, you do feel embarrassed, huh? If you wish to preserve the reputation of the Graysons, I suggest you first learn to see the true face of the woman beside you."With tearful eyes, Natalie stared back and said, "You!"Natasha looked at her with a smile, her eyes overwhelmed with mockery.Seeing the look in her eyes, Natalie was so enraged that she was about to reach out and hit her. But she suddenly remembered that Joshua was still there, so she quickly stopped her action.She then turned to the man
