Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 349
"Given Grandpa's current condition, he needs the Sullivan family's traditional medicine. Moreover, his situation is critical. We can't delay any longer," said Natasha.Joshua let out a disdainful snort. He obviously wasn't taking Natasha's words seriously."The Sullivan family's traditional medicine? You're just speaking without any basis. Have you ever seen Topola's Sullivan family? Do you know what kind of medicinal herbs they have?"Natasha hadn't even set foot inside the Sullivan residence, yet she claimed that treating Philip required the family's traditional medicine. That made Joshua feel she must have lost her mind."Moreover, the Sullivan family's traditional medicine isn't something we can just take at will." Joshua's tone was unfriendly, and his expression also seemed angry."Joshua, what has gotten into you?" Natasha's frustration flared up.She knew Joshua had misunderstood her, but she felt he should at least be reasonable and understand what needed to be done urgen

"How could something like that happen? Are you just finding excuses to absolve yourself?" Natalie added.She had been standing in the corner listening to Natasha and Joshua's conversation.When she saw Joshua's obvious hesitation, she couldn't hold back any longer. She hadn't expected Natasha to change Joshua's mind so easily with just a few words.That wasn't a good sign."Of course you haven't heard of it." Natasha raised an eyebrow.She had spotted Natalie standing in the corner, but she didn't bother with her. She was curious to see how long Natalie could hold out."How would someone like you, who knows nothing about medicine, have any idea?" Natasha asked. In fact, it would be rather suspicious if Natalie did know about it.Natalie glanced up at Natasha.Natasha's expression was calm, showing no hint of anger or agitation from being unjustly accused nor did it betray any signs of nervousness or fear. Her countenance exuded nothing but boundless calmness. Witnessing Natas

Natasha raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Grayson, are you interested in listening now?"Natalie's back stiffened as she watched Joshua turn away. She closed her eyes in anguish.Joshua looked at Natasha and didn't respond, clearly waiting for her answer.Natasha didn't beat around the bush. "There are plenty of methods to turn a healthy person into a vegetable, not to mention someone who has just recovered. They are completely vulnerable in front of someone with malicious intent."As she spoke, she glanced at Natalie, who stood rigidly by the side. She thought the latter must have been a bit frightened as her expression was somewhat grim.Natalie silently told herself not to be afraid because no matter how many methods Natasha knew, she couldn't do anything to her.She had an alibi and hadn't done anything herself. Instead, it was all orchestrated by someone else. Hence, no matter how people looked at it, she wasn't a suspect!"For example, using…" Natasha was about to continue when a vo

In particular, after Joshua left, Natalie's entire demeanor became more evident, which also highlighted her nervousness."What are you talking about?" She pretended to be clueless."Joshua isn't here, so you don't have to play dumb with me." Natasha raised an eyebrow.Natalie chuckled. There was a hint of smugness on her face. "Playing dumb?""You know whether you're playing dumb or not. Be honest. I went to great lengths to save Mr. Grayson Senior's life. Why did you choose to harm an old man?"Mr. Grayson Senior hasn't been that bad to you. Why are you so vicious?" Natasha questioned."Hasn't been that bad?" Natalie snorted disdainfully.Philip's mocking expression flashed through her mind one after another. He mocked her almost every day. Whenever she visited Grayson Villa, he never had a pleasant expression.Moreover, he opposed her marriage to Joshua. This was something she couldn't tolerate.Natasha keenly caught the emotion in Natalie's words. She remarked, "So, you hat

Mike furrowed his brow as he looked at the woman before him. Some disjointed fragments flashed through his mind. It felt like he had a faint impression of her, yet at the same time, not.He asked, "Who are you?"Joshua didn't seem pleased with Natasha's presence. He furrowed his brow and shook his head at Mike."Mr. Mike, I'm sorry. She doesn't understand clinical matters well and has rudely interrupted your examination. Please forgive her." He wondered why Natasha hadn't left yet.Joshua looked quite impatient.Mike seemed to have a good temper and wasn't particularly upset. He waved his hand. "It's fine."After saying that, he cast one last glance at Natasha before turning around to continue his task."I don't understand clinical matters?" Natasha raised an eyebrow upon hearing Joshua's words.She then questioned Mike, "Are you aware of Mr. Grayson Senior's current condition?"Mike turned back to look at Natasha again. "Of course I am.""That makes things easier then." Nata

Joshua wondered what the Sullivan family's secret remedy was. He asked, "Mr. Mike, does my grandpa need the Sullivan family's secret remedy to recover?""Yes, that's right," Mike exclaimed enthusiastically.He pointed at Natasha and said, "What this young lady said reminded me. I've been abroad too long and almost forgot about the Sullivan family in Topola."Indeed, the Sullivan family has a medicine that could save Mr. Grayson Senior's life."Hearing that, Joshua blinked in astonishment. With a complex expression, he glanced at Natasha, who stood not far away on the opposite side.Joshua had initially assumed Natasha was simply making casual remarks when she mentioned the need for the Sullivan family's secret remedy to save Philip's life. He didn't expect it to be true.His gaze darkened. His expression became grim, leaving others unsure of his thoughts.After a moment of silence, he turned to Mike and inquired with a serious expression, "So regarding my grandpa's condition… Is

All three of them stared straight at her. For a moment, everyone in the room's gaze turned to Natasha. Natasha blinked but remained silent.Seeing Natasha's silence, Natalie couldn't hold back any longer. She turned to Mike and said, "Mr. Mike, this is Natasha Sullivan. She doesn't know anyone from the Sullivan family."Her tone exuded confidence and carried an undeniable certainty.Mike heard Natalie's words, but he wasn't disappointed. Instead, he seemed to have grasped the key point. He exclaimed excitedly, "This young lady's name…""Name?" Natalie blinked, unsure of what Mike was talking about. She wondered if Mike had spent too long abroad, hence his unclear expression when speaking the local dialect.However, considering that he was at least a well-known figure internationally, Natalie asked again politely, "What did you just say? I didn't quite catch it. Could you repeat it?"Natasha, on the other hand, immediately grasped Mike's meaning. He must be referring to her fami

Before Mike could say anything, Natalie quickly interjected, "Josh, I know!" She knew she had to seize this rare chance to make Joshua look at her differently.She remarked, "Apart from the drugs sold to major listed pharmaceutical companies, all of the Sullivan family's drugs have been licensed out. Naturally, authorized pharmaceutical companies can produce as many drugs as they need."Joshua nodded. He was already aware of this.Natalie added, "However, apart from those drugs, the Sullivan family's other unlicensed ones are in such high demand that they're practically unavailable on the market."The drugs released by the Sullivan family are all limited-time and limited-quantity, so ordinary folks can't get hold of them."Elite families from all over the country are pulling out all the stops just to get their hands on a Sullivan family drug. The competition is truly fierce!"Natasha listened to Natalie's words with a calm expression. It appeared Natalie was surprisingly well-inf

He didn't know where this sense of loss came from, but it hung over Joshua like a low-pressure system and seemed impossible to dispel. His expression visibly darkened. Yet, he seemed to want to maintain his dignity and didn't want Natasha to discern his sense of loss. So Joshua pursed his lips, forcefully suppressing the feeling and putting on a blank expression. He seemed indifferent to Natasha's proposed condition."How about it? Does Mr. Grayson need more time to consider?" Natasha sat calmly in her chair, tilting her head slightly. She was confident this time that Joshua would definitely agree. Although she felt a bit uneasy about using Philip's life as leverage against Joshua, she believed it was the best option at the moment. Given Joshua's personality, using trivial things as leverage wouldn't pose any threat to him. Besides family members' lives, everything else was insignificant to him. She had no other choice.As Natasha spoke, her eyebrows furrowed lightly, and her

As soon as Joshua heard Natasha mention there were conditions, he instantly had a bad feeling. Although Natasha didn't explicitly state the conditions, Joshua understood that they definitely wouldn't be easy."What conditions are you talking about?" He propped his chin up with his hand, looking at Natasha seriously.Natasha smiled and raised her lips. "What are the conditions? You should know."Joshua was slightly stunned. He knew what the conditions were?He furrowed his brows earnestly, trying hard to figure out what conditions Natasha was talking about.Could it be…"Are you trying to make it a condition to drive Natalie away from the Grayson Villa?" Joshua raised an eyebrow. Considering recent events, Joshua couldn't think of any other conditions.As soon as this was said, Natasha was momentarily dumbfounded.What was he talking about?Natasha tried to find a word to describe Joshua's thoughts, but after a long time, she couldn't bring herself to say it. Joshua's train of

Natasha blinked her eyes. It seemed that Joshua was anticipating her rejection in advance."Since you can enter the Sullivan residence, your relationship with them must be extraordinary."It's not like people with Joshua's and Natalie's status could enter. But Natasha could, which undoubtedly indicated that she still had something to hide from him."Since you have this relationship with the Sullivans, helping Grandfather should be a simple matter."As soon as these words came out, Natasha sneered, "Simple matter?""Although I do have some connection with the Sullivans, it's not to the extent where I can freely arrange the Sullivans miracle worker's schedule."The position of the Sullivan's miracle worker is well-known. Since you are aware of it, you shouldn't say such things. You're overestimating me."Natasha was blatantly lying and trying to deceive Joshua."Someone with the status of the Sullivan's miracle worker would only save someone if he wanted to. If he doesn't have th

As soon as Joshua said the name "Jacob", Natasha felt like her throat was being choked, and was unable to breathe properly.Her breathing became somewhat erratic."What's wrong? Do you know him or not?" Joshua spoke, narrowing his eyes. His pupils contracted, and he looked sharp and almost menacing.It seemed like any slight movement from Natasha couldn't escape his gaze."I…" Natasha began.She seemed a bit hesitant but also seemed not at all. Finally, she calmly spoke, "I don't know him.""Don't know him?" Joshua raised an eyebrow.He seemed somewhat incredulous, repeatedly confirming, "You really don't know him?"Natasha nodded, her expression very firm. "I don't know him."She looked somewhat puzzled, her tone confused as she asked, "Who is Jacob? Is he also from the Graysons?"Joshua stared at Natasha motionlessly, as if trying to find a flaw on her face.But Natasha remained calm. Her expression was very normal and without any flaws.Joshua stared for a long time. Eve

"Please help us remove all these dishes and replace them with some new ones." Natasha pointed to the dishes on the table.The waitress was startled, instinctively asking, "Is there any problem with these dishes? Please point them out, and we will correct them immediately."Natasha smiled gracefully. "No, there's nothing wrong."It was just that these dishes accidentally touched Joshua's nerve."Is it because the dishes don't suit your taste?" the waitress continued to inquire."Not really." Natasha shook her head.Although, she hadn't even taken a bite. She didn't even know if these dishes were good or not.If Joshua's gaze hadn't been so intimidating, she would have tried them so as not to waste them.Next time, she had to bring Austin to try the dishes at this restaurant."So what's wrong with these dishes? We can convey your feedback to the kitchen, or we can replace them with new dishes for you free of charge. Would that be acceptable to you?" the waitress asked.The wait

Joshua had been the president for a long time, and his whole demeanor was daunting, seemingly suffocating others with his pressure.Natasha sat in her seat. Even if she deliberately avoided looking up at Joshua, she could still feel the scalp-tingling sensation.His gaze was just too sharp. She couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to."Uh… Didn't you just say you don't like these dishes? Do you want them all removed?" Natasha awkwardly changed the subject."I'll listen and remove it now. I'll call the waiter in to take them away." After saying that, Natasha lowered her gaze and pressed the button on the table to call the waiter outside on standby.Joshua remained silent. His gaze fixed on Natasha without wavering.It made Natasha feel even more trapped.Her mind was already in a mess at the moment. She regretted that she had spoken too hastily earlier without thinking.She had never let slip of anything during her time in the Grayson Villa.What was happening now? Just a few
Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 690
She was trying hard to change the subject.But Joshua looked at the dish, his mind filled with the image of Jacob's face and the various rejections he had faced during his youth.This made him very uncomfortable."I won't eat it. Take it away," Joshua said coldly with disdain."This dish… actually tastes very good. You can try it. Don't have a prejudice against it." Natasha tried to calm Joshua's mood.But he clearly had little patience. He roared angrily, "Take it away!""I don't want to see this dish!"The sound made Natasha's hand tremble as she held the plate."Alright, alright, I'll take it away. Why are you so fierce?" Natasha bit her lip, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her rising anger, and then withdrew the dish of delicious cheese curds."Then have some other dishes." She gestured to the several dishes on the table.But unexpectedly, Joshua's face turned even worse. His gaze swept over the dishes on the table, his brows deeply furrowed, looking very dissati

Joshua's tone sounded casual and his expression indifferent, as if discussing something unrelated to him. Yet, it gave the impression that he was talking about his own affairs."Is it worth it?" Natasha murmured, repeating the question.Perhaps because Joshua exuded a melancholic air, Natasha stopped in her tracks and earnestly answered the question. "If this mother is willing to do it, then it must be worth it."Upon hearing this, Joshua looked at her, his melancholy seeming to deepen."Is that so? Do you also think that everything this mother does is worth it?"The sorrowful expression in his eyes seemed so thick that it was unbreakable.Natasha was surprised to see Joshua like this. She didn't understand why Joshua had suddenly changed."A parent's love for their child involves careful planning. Every mother who selflessly sacrifices for her child is great…"Natasha considered her tone carefully. "A mother who wholeheartedly loves her child would do this, wouldn't she?"Bef

They were different people.In a flash, Natasha instinctively pushed him away.She stood up straight, her tone serious as she said, "Joshua, please behave yourself." Her gentle fingers brushed against Joshua's shirt, seemingly carrying her fresh fragrance with it.The sudden push caught Joshua off guard.Looking up, he found Natasha wanting to keep her distance from him as if he were a ferocious beast.This look even made Joshua doubt himself. Was he that bad to warrant such a reaction from her?Before he could come to a conclusion, Natasha had already picked up her bag, seemingly ready to leave."If Mr. Grayson has nothing else to do today, I'll be taking my leave first."Joshua's behavior just now caught her off guard.Anyway, from the looks of it, he probably wouldn't agree to a divorce.Since Joshua had made up his mind, it was pointless for her to linger here. It was better to go home and avoid hearing any more of Joshua's "seductive" words."Wait," Joshua called out
