Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 302
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

Noticing that Lorelei's breathing had stabilized, Natasha asked, "Lorelei, how are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?"Natasha's eyes were filled with concern.She was afraid that even though Lorelei's breathing had stabilized, her symptoms hadn't completely gone away. Something like that had happened at Grayson Villa before.Lorelei took a deep breath. She could feel that the discomfort in her throat had completely subsided.She replied earnestly, "I feel much better. Thank you, Tasha."Natasha stood up and said in a serious tone, "I'm glad to hear that. Lorelei, you must look after yourself. Try not to get too emotionally involved, or there's still a chance of a relapse.""All right, I understand." Lorelei nodded repeatedly.Natasha finally felt relieved to see that Lorelei was fine."How could she stay calm after what you did to the Graysons?" A steely voice rang out.With a scowl, Natasha turned around and said, "Joshua, I kept Lorelei out of harm's way, and you're m

"Tasha…" Lorelei trailed off."What do you mean?" Joshua asked in a confused tone."Mr. Grayson, don't you get it?" Natasha met his gaze.Joshua felt provoked and replied, "I don't understand." He tried to sound calm, but anger was simmering underneath.With a blank expression, Natasha said, "Since you've chosen to play dumb, I'll be direct."It seems to me that the Graysons should know more about Mr. Fletcher than I do. I've only spent a moment with him and already know what he's like."With your insight, you must have a better grasp of Mr. Fletcher's temperament than I do."Although Natasha's voice was soft, it carried to all of those present."He is simply a businessman driven by profit. The Graysons have nothing valuable to offer Havenfield now. Why will he help? Is he in your debt?"Natasha stared at Joshua. The Graysons could no longer rebound.Joshua gritted his teeth, his face contorting into a grimace. He was on the verge of grabbing Natasha in a fit of rage, but she

Shawn calmly continued, "But Grayson Corp is the largest pharmaceutical company in Oceanville."His casual remark plunged Natasha's already troubled mood further.She couldn't help mocking herself. "You'd probably hate me if you were the Graysons, wouldn't you? I could have helped the Graysons, but instead, I'm watching them go broke."Besides, she was technically the Graysons' daughter-in-law. That was ironic."You did the right thing. Don't beat yourself up, " Shawn said.Natasha's mind reeled as she murmured, "Really?"It sounded more like she was asking herself. She was uncertain of her own thoughts.The car sped along, soon arriving at the entrance of Imperial Heights.Natasha looked out the window and saw that the weather had unexpectedly turned sunny. The sky that had once been dark was now a clear blue. There were no clouds in sight.She stepped out of the car. The wind brushed against her face, bringing a sense of coolness. "The weather is really nice now."She inhal

"I—" Natasha's words were cut short when she saw Lorelei suddenly lose her balance."Lorelei!" Natasha swallowed her words as she hurried forward to support Lorelei.Using her hand to support her head, Lorelei said weakly, "I'm sorry. My body hasn't fully recovered yet, so I'm a little unsteady.""You're still too weak," Natasha said with concern. "You've only just recovered from such a dangerous situation, and you didn't get enough rest before you came to look for me. Isn't that a bit reckless?"Sensing Natasha's frustration, Lorelei quickly explained, "Tasha, I just wanted to have a talk with you about the Graysons. I felt uneasy and couldn't wait anymore. Please don't be mad."Seeing Lorelei so weak and her face so much thinner, Natasha couldn't bring herself to be stern with her, even if she was angry. Lorelei's health mattered most."Come in and take a seat. Shawn, help me," Natasha called out to Shawn. They slowly helped Lorelei into the house.Once inside, Natasha immedia

Natasha was stumped. "Please, get up. Stop kneeling."Lorelei was Jacob's mother. After three years under Lorelei's care, Natasha had come to see her as a mother figure.The sight of Lorelei on her knees was unbearable to her. It broke Natasha's heart to see Lorelei willing to put her dignity aside for the Graysons."Lorelei, please get up! I can't take this. This is too much for me."Lorelei seemed to ignore Natasha's words. She refused to get up from the floor."Tasha, I can't let the Graysons go down. I can't." Lorelei grabbed hold of Natasha's gown with one hand and hit herself with the other as if she was blaming herself.She cried as she continued, "The Graysons barely made it through the last ordeal. We can't afford to make the same mistakes again.""Lorelei, please, get up!" Natasha hauled Lorelei to her feet.However, Lorelei grabbed onto Natasha's gown. "Tasha, I'm not getting up. Please spare the Graysons, all right? Please!"Natasha couldn't bear to see Lorelei in

"Lorelei, since you're not getting up, I'm kneeling with you," Natasha said."Y-You…" Lorelei stuttered. She didn't expect Natasha to kneel."Lorelei, if you won't get up, then I'll stay on my knees together with you."Lorelei loosened her grip on Natasha's gown. When she saw the determined look on Natasha's face, she held back her tears and asked, "Tasha, are you unwilling to help the Graysons? I can assure you that this will be the first and last time."Lorelei looked sincere.Natasha couldn't help but mock herself inwardly. She had helped the Graysons through a difficult situation once before.It seemed that Lorelei thought that it had been Joshua who had helped the Graysons three years ago.Still, it didn't bother her that Lorelei wasn't aware of it. She had no intention of telling the Graysons, anyway.She dropped her head in silence."Tasha, you aren't going to help the Graysons, are you?" Lorelei heaved a sigh. Her hopes were dashed.Having calmed herself, she continue

"Jake? Who's Jake?" Natasha asked.Lorelei stared at Natasha. She wanted to know if Natasha was being honest. "You've never heard of Jake?""I've never heard that name before. Who's Jake?" Natasha asked calmly as she met Lorelei's gaze.Natasha knew Lorelei wasn't buying it. Fortunately, she had learned a lot from Natalie's skillful acting after spending so much time with her. She could easily handle Lorelei."Lorelei, why are you staring at me? Is Jake someone you care for?" Natasha's tone was filled with curiosity.Lorelei hadn't noticed anything strange about Natasha. She looked away and let out a sigh. "Nothing."Sensing Lorelei's reluctance to speak further, Natasha changed the subject. "Lorelei, it's getting late. Why don't you go home?"Lorelei's thoughts were elsewhere. After a glance at the sun that was quickly setting outside the window, she hung her head in silence.Natasha took advantage of Lorelei's distraction to tuck the brooch behind her back before calling out,
