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

Joshua didn't move a muscle."What on earth do you want?" Natasha snapped."What do I want?" Joshua sneered.Suddenly, he grabbed Natasha's chin and lifted her head. Their eyes locked. A whirlwind of emotions swirled inside them."You're asking me what I want? Shouldn't that be my question? How can you be so cruel?"How dare you destroy Grayson Corp? It's what generations of Graysons have worked for. You don't get to destroy it just because you want to," Joshua emphasized each word harshly, his eyes bloodshot with anger.Natasha fought to free herself but couldn't. She tried to pull his hand away, but he tightened his grip further. Natasha winced in pain."Let go!" Natasha ordered. She thought she'd have to do something if he wouldn't release her.Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind her. "Tasha!"Natasha knew immediately that it was Lorelei.Lorelei had originally followed Natasha out. Yet, she decided to stay and try to convince Marcus after some thought. However, Ma

"I can endure shame for the Graysons!" Lorelei exclaimed. Her body shuddered.Joshua's expression hardened. He tried to pull Lorelei away from Natasha, but she seemed to be unusually stiff. He couldn't move her at all."Tasha, I'm begging you. Please, I'm begging you." Lorelei was losing her mind. She was like a drowning person reaching for the final straws.Natasha remained stunned. She had never seen Lorelei in such a state.Lorelei naturally held a prominent position in Oceanville's elite circle as a Grayson. She was a daily fixture at the most important social events.From head to toe, she was always dressed in glamour and grandeur. Parties, lights, flowers, applause—all of that came naturally to Lorelei.But now, Lorelei stood so low.Her stare was too intense for Natasha to spare her another glance. Natasha was afraid it would give her a sense of guilt, or even cause her to give up on what she had already been planning to do."Tasha, please say something." Lorelei's voice

Natasha's frustration grew. She had lived with Lorelei for three years and helped Lorelei with her mental rehabilitation.Through their long time together, Lorelei had become like a mother to Natasha. Natasha couldn't stand seeing Joshua treat Lorelei that way."Joshua, what you're doing is disrespectful! Have you forgotten all the family values the Graysons hold dear? It is a shame and a disgrace to your family to treat your mother so harshly!" Natasha snapped."Family values?" Joshua's eyes hardened at Natasha's words, and he retorted sharply, "You are using despicable means in an attempt to destroy our family. How dare you speak of family values?"Natasha's forehead creased at Joshua's rebuke. She emphasized each word on purpose. "They're not the same thing. Don't mix them up.""What a clever excuse," Joshua said scornfully.He didn't seem to care about arguing with Natasha anymore. He lowered his head to look at Lorelei and gently pulled her away from the bodyguard's grasp.

Joshua wasn't buying it. He stopped Natasha indifferently."Joshua, turn around and have a look at your mother! This is not a joke!" Natasha yelled."Stop poking your nose into the Graysons' affairs. You should go," Joshua snapped.A wave of despair washed over Natasha. "I know today's incident made you angry, but Lorelei is innocent, and she's your mother. How can you bear to see her in so much pain?"She hadn't expected Joshua to be so cold-blooded. He didn't even bother to look at Lorelei."Joshua, I'll say this one last time. Lorelei is emotionally unstable and in poor condition. Let me go check on her," Natasha said as she tried to pull herself out of Joshua's grasp."I told you to leave. Didn't you hear me? Weren't you the one who said you'd destroy the Graysons?"Why do you stick around when I tell you to leave? What's going on inside your head?" Joshua growled impatiently.Natasha was enraged. "Sticking around? Joshua, she's your mother! I'm trying to help you, and inst

Flynn winced in pain as he lay on the ground.Natasha approached Lorelei, who was already slightly disoriented. When Lorelei saw Natasha, she mumbled, "T-Tasha, is that you?""I'm here!" Natasha grabbed Lorelei's hand and gently reassured her, "Lorelei, don't talk yet. Follow my rhythm and take deep breaths. Breathe in and out. Take it slow."Joshua couldn't even think about pulling Natasha away as Shawn was standing by Natasha's side. He was no match for Shawn at all.All Joshua could do was to watch Natasha's every move. He was looking extremely grave."Lorelei, try breathing in my rhythm and keep your head clear." Natasha's voice was soft yet professional, and even her movement was practiced.Lorelei followed Natasha's instructions and breathed in time with her rhythm. Little by little, her breathing became calmer.Joshua sensed something was wrong as he continued to watch. Something was off about the way Lorelei looked.Suddenly, he remembered Natasha's earlier words. He co
