Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 405
Natalie sat in her apartment. In front of her were plate after plate of luxurious cuisine, but she had no appetite at all.She shook the spoon in her hand, obviously anxious, wondering why there was still no news.One day had already passed. With Yakov's abilities, it couldn't be that he still hadn't caught Natasha, right?Gina approached her. Seeing Natalie's distracted state, she asked cautiously, "Ms. Lovelace, is the food not to your taste?"Natalie felt agitated. She glanced at Gina, then completely ignored her.She felt bored, so she turned on the television and tuned in to the news.The news anchor's voice sounded. "Tomorrow, Mr. Sullivan from Topola's prestigious family of doctors will be hosting a medical consultation event in the western part of the city."All of Oceanville's citizens are welcome to seek advice, especially those with heart conditions. Don't miss this opportunity."You will get the chance to receive personal consultation from Mr. Sullivan himself. This

After saying that, Yakov opened the door and left.The only figure in the room was the beautiful woman wrapped in a blanket, and her expression was reproachful. "Mr. Zahn, how could you do this to me?"Yakov headed straight to the boxing studio, where he coincidentally ran into Justin, who was about to leave. He grabbed Justin and asked, "Where is she?""I didn't catch her…" Justin trembled.The next second, Yakov's fist lashed out. The blow caused Justin to step back half a pace.Yakov exclaimed, "I've told you before that the woman isn't easy to catch and asked you to pay more attention. Do you ever listen to me?"Justin could only try to explain, "I brought three cars full of people. Who knew that woman was such a skilled driver? She managed to escape right under our men's noses."As Justin spoke, memories of last night's scene came flooding back. Two of his men were already in the hospital due to heavy bleeding. He swore he would settle the score with that woman.He added,

The next morning, Natasha got up as she usually did. Just as she left her room, she saw Daniel dressed neatly, sitting at the dining table and eating breakfast."Uncle Daniel, why are you up so early today?" Natasha asked in a surprising tone. As far as she knew, Daniel never got up this early. "Do you have something planned for today?"Daniel turned to look at her. "I'm hosting a medical consultation event in the western part of the city today. Would you like to come?""A medical consultation event?" Natasha was momentarily stunned."I came this time specifically to gather medical cases. It's too much of a hassle to do it alone, so I thought it would be better to kick things off with a medical consultation event," Daniel explained."I see." Natasha nodded and pulled out a chair to sit down. She also thought it was a good idea. However, her car was nearly wrecked during that chase, and she was planning to get it checked out today.Just as she was about to decline, Amy brought bre

Upon entering, Natalie immediately furrowed her brow.The place was bustling with people. All of them were dressed plainly, and some even looked rather dirty. The entire venue exuded an air of poverty and illness.Natalie pinched her nose in distaste and took a deep breath.She repeatedly reminded herself that she was there for revenge against Natasha. Enduring all this was necessary if she wanted the latter to pay the price.Suppressing her disdain, she began searching for Natasha and Daniel.In fact, Natalie wasn't sure if Natasha would come today. She eagerly scanned the line of attending doctors, afraid of missing anyone.She believed Daniel, the day's key figure, should be seated in the most prominent position.With that thought in mind, she looked around but didn't see any doctors occupying special spots. All the doctors were dressed the same and seated in the same kind of seats with nothing out of the ordinary.Natalie was instantly filled with worry.She hadn't bothere

The woman who accidentally bumped into Natalie looked terrified, and her lips trembled. She quickly lowered her head and repeatedly apologized, her voice filled with panic.She glanced down at Natalie's shoes. Though she didn't know the brand, they looked expensive. Taking another look at Natalie's attire, she was certain she couldn't afford to compensate her. All she could do was continue to apologize repeatedly.Seeing the woman almost ready to kneel, Natalie initially intended to hurl a few more insults. However, when she glanced around and caught the bystanders' eyes, she pursed her lips and thought it was more important to focus on the main issue."Next time, watch where you're going. If you didn't bump into someone as kindhearted as me, you wouldn't know how much you'd have to compensate!""Yes, you're beautiful and kindhearted." The woman hurriedly thanked Natalie. Feeling the compliment might not be sufficient, she apologized again, "I'm really sorry!"Natalie cast a disda

Natalie hurriedly hid in the crowd, paying no mind to her surroundings. She was afraid of being seen by Natasha.Natasha didn't notice Natalie at all. She glanced behind the old lady and saw only one relatively young patient.She thought that after she finished examining the last patient, she could take the old lady for the heart tests.Natasha made up her mind. She raised her voice, fearing the old lady might not hear again. "Ma'am, please wait a moment."This time, the patient heard her and nodded.…Justin moved through the crowd. The place was packed with patients, making it impossible for him to push through. Instead, he had to move along with the flow.He had his eyes fixed intently on the woman in the black coat, afraid she would slip away under his nose.In the blink of an eye, Natalie disappeared.Justin rubbed his eyes. Just a moment ago, he had seen her standing there, watching the doctor without moving. He looked around, but she was nowhere to be found. Justin wo

Natasha walked in front, earnestly supporting the old lady. Just as she was about to climb the steps, she suddenly heard a commotion behind her. It sounded like someone was shouting.Natasha felt a bit curious about what was happening. She furrowed her brows and quickly glanced behind her.However, all she saw was a man passing by. Holding a medical chart and looking rushed, he was obviously heading for a consultation. She thought maybe she had misheard.Seeing Natasha halt, the old lady inquired, "Doctor, what's wrong?"Natasha snapped back to reality. She shook her head and smiled as she replied, "Nothing. Let's go inside."The old lady nodded and moved forward with her cane.However, Natasha still felt a strange unease in her heart. She couldn't shake the sense that something was off.She glanced behind her again and saw the man was already gone, and there was no one behind her now. Only intermittent gusts of cold wind swept through and rustled a few dry leaves.Natasha wond

"Boss, what do you think? Should we seek revenge for our buddies now?" Eddie's voice came from beside him.Justin ran his fingers over the knife in his hand. It was sharp, gleaming brightly in the sunlight.Despite his desire to act immediately, his rationality told him that wasn't the right place. "Get her into the car," he said."Yes!" Eddie responded.Natalie was then taken into the car. However, she was obviously not giving up. As soon as the car started moving, she began to struggle again.Justin reached out and placed his hand across her chest to prevent her from struggling further.Natalie wanted to bite him, but her mouth was gagged, rendering her unable to do so.Frustrated, she suddenly had an idea.Without hesitation, she reached out to grab the high heel on her foot. After pulling it off, she went straight for Justin's face, intending to blind him.Having fought with people for years, Justin had long discerned Natalie's intention. He slightly tilted his head, causi

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
