"Oh, right." The bodyguard snapped out of it. "Are there bugs? Let me take a look."He was about to squat down to examine the bag.Natalie quickly waved him away. "It's too dirty, and I don't want to trouble you. Since Josh asked you to pick me up, let's go quickly. It's quite cold outside, and I don't want to stay out in the cold too long."Natalie hugged herself. Seeing that, the bodyguard slapped his forehead."I almost forgot Mr. Grayson instructed me to bring you a blanket." "Oh, is that so?" Natalie raised an eyebrow."He said you were dressed lightly and was afraid you might catch a cold."The bodyguard trotted to the car to fetch the blanket.Natalie took the blanket and draped it over herself, instantly feeling warmer. "Let's go.""What about this bag?" The bodyguard's gaze landed on the white fur bag covered in mud.Without even glancing at it, she nonchalantly replied, "I don't want it anymore."A bag covered in mud was of no use to her.…Joshua drove to Imper

Natasha smiled. She leaned down to unbuckle her seatbelt before opening the door to get out of the car.Ryan parked the car in the same spot where Joshua had just parked.As soon as Natasha got out of the car, she detected the lingering scent of a cigarette.While the smell was strong, it was not unpleasant. The cigarette's scent was familiar.Frowning, she looked at the ground but did not find any cigarette butts.However, the smell of smoke was unmistakably similar to the one Joshua usually smoked.Natasha knew that Joshua only smoked when he was in a bad mood, and he never touched cigarettes on ordinary days. After all, he fundamentally disliked smoking.After looking around and considering the license plate of the car she had caught earlier, she thought it was obvious that Joshua had been there recently.He even lit a cigarette. Natasha didn't know if he actually smoked it, but he did light it.He didn't usually smoke, and he only smoked when he was upset.Was Joshua in a

"It's a man in a suit," the bodyguard answered. While he found the man rather handsome, he seemed fierce."A man in a suit?" Ryan instantly thought of Joshua.Had Joshua come to the laboratory?Natasha frowned. "I'm conducting an experiment now. Tell him that I'm not available."Caught in between, the bodyguard was at a loss. "I've told him many times, but he won't listen."Ryan furrowed his brows. "Excuse me? Can't you stop that man? Professor Nancy hired you to do that."Seeing that Ryan was angry, the bodyguard immediately explained, "We're all trying our best to keep him out. However, he is just too fierce."He even brought a group of bodyguards with him. Since we only have a few guards, we simply can't stop him.""He brought a group of bodyguards with him?" Natasha was a bit dumbfounded.It was just like Joshua to do things like that, never leaving a way out for her.The bodyguard nodded. "Yes, and his bodyguards are so big and strong that one of ours was injured."Ryan

Standing behind Joshua, Natalie sneered as she heard Natasha's decisive answer.Although Natasha refused, Natalie was sure that she secretly wanted Joshua to treat her to a meal.Natasha's reply was so resolute, and her tone wasn't very polite. However, Joshua didn't seem angry at all.Instead, he said, "This is out of the Grayson family's courtesy.""The Grayson family's courtesy? Since when does the Grayson family have any courtesy?" Natasha waved him away. "I still have Professor Nancy's experiments to conduct. Please leave if there's nothing else."Looking at her, Joshua added, "Aside from that, my family would like to clear your name, too."He had indeed misunderstood Natasha previously, making assumptions without listening to her explanation. Natasha must have felt very uncomfortable.After the time he spent with her, Joshua realized that Natasha was actually very strong-willed. He wanted to at least apologize to her.At times, she'd provoke him. Other times, she'd preten

Hearing Natasha's words, Natalie's anger diminished considerably as she was pleased with her comment.Observing Natalie's changing expression, Natasha's mocking gaze intensified.Catching a glimpse of Natasha's expression, Natalie's heart skipped a beat as she sensed something amiss. Was Natasha mocking her?"Hey!" Natalie exclaimed angrily, on the verge of exploding.Natasha looked coldly at the enraged Natalie, her calm demeanor in stark contrast with Natalie's fury."Get out," said a commanding voice.Trembling, Natalie raised her eyes to meet an icy glare. In the heat of the moment, she had forgotten Joshua's advice."Are you asking me to get out?" she muttered incredulously. Though she had defied Joshua's words by speaking up, did that warrant being kicked out?"Yes. Get out," Joshua replied expressionlessly.He never repeated himself for the third time.Natalie was thoroughly enraged. This was yet another instance of Joshua losing his temper at her because of Natasha.

There seemed to be electricity in the air when their gazes met.When Joshua saw him previously, he hadn't paid much attention to him. Now that he appeared again, Joshua carefully scrutinized Ryan from head to toe.Like Natasha, he was dressed in a lab coat. At a glance, he seemed quite young, almost like a college student.Joshua had good memory and observational skills. When Joshua entered the room, he noticed Ryan setting down the notebook he was holding.Although the action was subtle, Joshua remembered it clearly.At a glance, he spotted a lab logbook behind Ryan. Obviously, it had been placed there haphazardly.Joshua smirked upon gaining a rough understanding of Ryan.In Oceanville, trivial tasks like recording experimental data were usually handled by those who didn't understand pharmaceuticals. They would merely be tasked with small errands in the lab.At most, Ryan was just an assistant in Professor Nancy's lab.With a stoic gaze, Joshua replied, "I'm talking to Natas

Ryan raised an eyebrow when Joshua asked for his name. He wondered what Joshua was up to.At the same time, Natasha frowned. She also sensed something fishy about Joshua's sudden curiosity about Ryan's name.Could Joshua be plotting something against Ryan? That seemed to be the only possibility.Ryan came from a modest background, unlike the wealthy Grayson family. If Joshua had any shady intentions toward Ryan, Ryan wouldn't stand a chance to defend himself.After all, Joshua had a reputation for scheming behind the scenes.However, Ryan seemed completely unbothered and did not show any fear at all. Instead, he casually replied, "You're asking for my name?"Joshua nodded. "What, you're scared to say it? Where's that confidence from earlier?"Ryan chuckled. "There's nothing to be scared of."Noticing that Ryan hadn't fully realized how serious the situation was, Natasha quickly reached out her arm to signal him not to speak.She spoke up, "Mr. Grayson, aren't you taking this a

Joshua's face scrunched up a bit as he looked at the guy in front of him.He asked for his name again. "Is your name really Ryan Zales?"Ryan nodded. "Yes."Natasha observed Joshua's contemplative expression with a sense of apprehension. She was worried he might do something to Ryan."Joshua, what do you want? If you don't leave now, I'll have to step in," Natasha warned.Ryan, being young and inexperienced, was oblivious to how tricky things could get in the business world or how to read people.He was clueless about Joshua and what he might be up to, but Natasha had him figured out. She knew exactly what Joshua was capable of.Natasha couldn't just stand by and watch Ryan walk straight into trouble.Disregarding Natasha's warning, Joshua cautiously continued, "Your name's Ryan Zales, which leads me to wonder… Are you part of the Zales family from Topola?"Joshua's eyes remained fixed on Ryan, watching for any telltale signs.The Zales family from Topola? A sense of familiar
