Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 356
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

Following those words, Mike turned to Natalie. "Ms. Lovelace, we're entrusting you with getting this secret remedy!"Natalie was startled and wanted to hurriedly evade his gaze. However, Mike's trust in her was too palpable. She couldn't avoid it even if she wanted to. At that moment, she felt extremely awkward. Joshua noticed something off in Natalie's expression and asked, "What's wrong? Natalie, can you obtain the Sullivan family's secret remedy?" He felt a bit uncertain.Natalie hesitated as she opened her mouth. She did want to seize this opportunity to win the Grayson family's favor, but obtaining the Sullivan family's secret remedy was truly challenging.If it were just an ordinary Sullivan family medicine, she would have readily agreed without hesitation. However, this was the Sullivan family's secret remedy. She couldn't agree so readily.Natasha, who was standing aside, noticed Natalie's silence and didn't say anything more. She simply gazed at her with a calm expressio

Observing the affectionate pair in front of her, Natasha's mouth twitched slightly.She turned around and wanted to leave. Since Natalie said she could get the medicine, there was no reason for her to stay there.Mike glanced up. Seeing Natasha about to leave, he intended to catch up and clarify if he had really seen her before.A hand suddenly rested on his shoulder as he was about to step forward. The next second, Joshua's voice sounded in his ear. "Mr. Mike, I'll leave my grandpa in your care."Mike snapped back to reality and reluctantly stepped back. He nodded and said, "You can rest assured. I will take care of Mr. Grayson Senior."Joshua nodded in acknowledgment.Just then, Terry approached from behind Joshua and whispered something in his ear, instantly causing the latter's expression to change.Afterward, Joshua nodded at Mike. With a hint of apology in his expression, he said, "There are some matters at Grayson Corporation that need my attention. I can't help you here

Meanwhile, Natasha turned around and exited Grayson Hospital. As soon as she exited the hospital, she spotted Ryan.Ryan was dressed in straight-legged jeans and black sneakers. He wore a gray sweater on top and a loose camel-colored coat. He gave off a vibe of both warmth and sunshine.Standing at the hospital entrance, he eagerly stretched out his arm and waved at her as she emerged.Natasha walked toward Ryan. Her tone was tinged with surprise as she asked, "What brings you here?"Seeing Natasha walking toward him, Ryan's lips curled into a smile. "You came to the hospital with Joshua's assistant and didn't drive yourself. I was afraid it might be difficult for you to go back, so I came to pick you up."Natasha glanced up at Ryan. She couldn't see it from afar, but now that she was closer, she noticed the chill emanating from Ryan.His ears and cheeks were slightly red from the cold, clearly indicating he had been standing outside for quite some time.Natasha's heart skipped

Natasha suddenly spoke with tears in her eyes. She thanked Ryan for allowing her to experience such a feeling again after Jacob's death.During her three years at Grayson Villa, she had always been the one waiting for Joshua to come home. Yet, every time she returned from outside, feeling exhausted, not a single Grayson bothered to show her care or concern.Ryan looked up to meet Natasha's gaze. He wondered if he had misheard.Before he could respond, a voice interrupted from behind Natasha. "Natasha? Aren't you supposed to leave? Why are you still here?"Natasha turned to see Joshua emerging from Grayson Hospital. He was dressed in a black coat. Each step he took echoed with the dull sound of his leather shoes.Joshua glared coldly at Natasha and Ryan, who was standing behind her.A few moments ago, Joshua had seen Natasha and Ryan standing in the snow. They were wearing light clothing and seemed unaffected by the cold.The duo were looking at each other lovingly. Their smiles

Joshua stood motionless, staring into the distance where the car had disappeared a while ago. His expression was unreadable.Terry scratched his head, unsure whether he should remind Joshua about the urgent company matters. He was worried about seeming insensitive. Wearing a gloomy expression, he quietly watched Joshua.The chilly wind made him shiver, and he wrapped his suit tightly around himself. He wondered why Joshua wasn't affected by the cold.Then, he noticed that Joshua was wearing a high-quality black coat, which no doubt kept him warm.Terry looked down at his own suit, which was wrinkled from sprinting all the way here.He shook his head helplessly and clutched himself. He couldn't help but mock himself for having to endure the cold wind due to Joshua's problems.Just when Terry assumed Joshua wouldn't be back at the office today, he suddenly heard Joshua's voice, which was chillingly firm. "Find out about Ryan."He spoke quickly, and Terry didn't hear him clearly. "

Terry noticed Natalie acting strangely. He sensed that something was wrong.Joshua took one look at Natalie before he replied, "No, let's go."Terry didn't dare to say much. He quickly answered, "Understood."As he cautiously started the car, he couldn't help but wonder why Joshua was ignoring Natalie.It was only a few months ago that he had been madly in love with her. He had even been willing to kick Natasha out of Grayson Villa for her.While their car was pulling away, a man in a white coat rushed out of the alley next to the Grayson Hospital. He seemed nervous, and Terry noticed him immediately due to his distinctive clothing.Just as Terry tried to get a better look at the man, Joshua's voice interrupted. "Are we leaving or what?"Joshua rubbed his temples with his eyes closed, looking tired and irritated at the same time.Terry quickly came to his senses and replied, "Yes, Mr. Grayson. We'll leave right away."He drove the car out of the hospital grounds without taking

Ryan and Natasha stood not far from the entrance to the villa.The man stood against the golden light, his features half-hidden in shadow.Natasha couldn't make it out at first, but then she thought it could be Joshua. But as she looked closer, she realized the man was broader and shorter than Joshua.After closing the car door, Ryan noticed Natasha standing still while staring at the entrance. He asked, "What's the matter, professor? It's freezing out here. Why aren't you going in?"Natasha signaled in the direction of the entrance by lifting her chin.Ryan noticed a figure lingering at the entrance. He was obviously waiting for someone.Ryan couldn't help frowning. He considered it lucky that he had accompanied Natasha home that day. She could have been vulnerable to potential troublemakers if she had been alone.Determined to teach the man a lesson, Ryan marched up to him.Yet, Natasha grabbed him by the sleeve and suggested, "Should I call Shawn to come over?"She felt the

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
