Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 422
Even though the people in line saw Joshua dressed like a rich man, they didn't know who he was, so they weren't afraid of him. All they wanted to do was see the doctor as soon as possible.Their muttering made the atmosphere somewhat unpleasant. Joshua had never experienced such rejection, let alone a group of people telling him to leave.Natasha heard the commotion and turned to see Joshua getting cold-shouldered by everyone.Seeing that he seemed unsure of what to do, she couldn't help but smirk. She didn't plan on helping to sort it out. Instead, she just sat back and enjoyed the show.The grumbling continued, and Joshua was getting annoyed. Yet, he had to swallow his pride because he needed Daniel's help. A single line from Daniel might save Philip.After some inner struggle, Joshua said, "Fine."Natasha grinned as she watched him leave the crowd.Just then, Terry rushed over to Joshua as he exclaimed, "Mr. Grayson, the food's here!"A stretch limousine pulled up behind him

As Carly spoke, she glanced down at the filthy, foul-smelling creek behind them. It was filled with decaying garbage and polluted water from nearby factories. The sight made her feel nauseous."Do you hear me? If none of you confess who's responsible for this, I'll throw every single one of you into this disgusting creek," Carly declared with arrogance, placing her hands on her hips.Justin remained silent as if he hadn't heard Carly's words at all. The others followed suit, showing no signs of fear."Aren't you even scared of this foul-smelling creek?" Carly asked incredulously, her eyes wide with disbelief. She would have been terrified at the thought of being thrown in.Justin and his group remained silent, kneeling on the ground.Carly started to get anxious. She had never dealt with so many dangerous men before, let alone harmed one. She hoped her words would scare them off, but they didn't seem to have any effect.She glanced back at Natalie in the car.Although Natalie ap

One of Justin's men, Nigel, was visibly nervous. He avoided eye contact and tried to remain calm as Randy, a large and intimidating figure, approached him.Randy motioned to one of the bodyguards standing behind him and said, "Let's do what Ms. Turner said. Throw them all in the creek since they won't talk. We'll start with this guy." He pointed at Nigel."Got it," the bodyguard replied blankly. He immediately grabbed Nigel and took him to the creek.Nigel struggled and yelled desperately, "No! Justin, help me!"Justin couldn't help but look back. With his jaw clenched, he decided to ignore Nigel. Even though the creek smelled terrible, Justin knew it wasn't fatal to be thrown into it.Nigel was thrown into the creek, causing splashes and a foul stench that drowned his cries for help. He thrashed around to stay above water, but the more he fought, the further he sank.Carly looked concerned as she watched. Soon, the water reached Nigel's neck, then his chin, his mouth, and finall

Ryan was just about to retrieve the food he had brought from the car when he noticed Joshua, who appeared unusually serious and unfriendly.Meanwhile, Terry seemed oblivious to the tension. After instructing the bodyguard to unload the food, he hurried to Joshua and asked, "Mr. Grayson, if everything is all right, shall we start serving the meals?"Joshua remained silent with his lips pressed together.It was only when Terry looked up that he saw Ryan. His eyes narrowed as he studied Ryan's face. There was a sense of familiarity, but he had no recollection of where he had seen Ryan before.Terry hadn't expected Ryan to bring food with him. Sensing the tense atmosphere, he wisely refrained from saying anything.After a brief moment, Ryan lightened the mood with a smile and a question. "Mr. Grayson, are you here to see a doctor? Do you have a heart condition? Dr. Sullivan specializes in cardiac care and could be very helpful."His words subtly implied his close relationship with Da

The way Natasha stared at Joshua burned with emotion. Joshua knew he certainly had a place in Natasha's heart.Growing impatient with Joshua's silence, and partly because Ryan had been suppressing his feelings for Natasha for so long, he blurted out, "Do you still feel something for Natasha?"He stared at Joshua, waiting for him to answer.Perhaps Natasha's smile earlier had affected Joshua. He considered the question, but it lasted only a moment.He smirked in response. He was all too familiar with Natasha's game of playing hard to get and wasn't going to fall for it that easily."I've never felt anything for Natasha," Joshua said coldly.He wanted to distance himself from her as much as he could. She was just a substitute for Natalie, so developing feelings for Natasha would mean betraying Natalie."Is that so? Then why did you bother coming all this way and even buying takeout for Ms. Sullivan? And why are you spending so much on takeout for everyone?" Ryan asked.Although i

Joshua returned to Grayson Villa feeling depressed.From a distance, he noticed someone standing near the window wall. He realized it was Lorelei when he got closer.She looked lonely and dazed as she stared out the window. Joshua could even see the weariness on her face as if she had grown old all of a sudden."What are you doing, Mom?" Joshua asked as he walked in and removed his suit jacket. One of the housekeepers took the jacket and hung it up for him.Ella quickly brought Joshua a cup of coffee when she saw him return. "Mr. Grayson, I just made coffee. Why don't you have some?""No, thanks," Joshua declined. He shoved it aside and walked toward Lorelei and said, "It's late. Why are you here alone rather than sleeping?"Lorelei glanced up at Joshua but didn't answer. Joshua wasn't angry even though she was ignoring him. He followed her gaze outside but found nothing remarkable."Mom, there's no moon tonight. What are you looking at? If you want to enjoy the view of the moon

Lorelei was baffled by Joshua's inability to recall how Natasha had helped the Graysons."Do you remember who gave us the letter of authorization? Did it just magically appear? You should remember how to show gratitude!" Lorelei bellowed.Her anger mounted as she pounded the table.Tension quickly filled the room as Lorelei and Joshua faced off. Meanwhile, Ella quietly set down the tray of fruit and stepped back, choosing not to get involved."If you're feeling alone, why not consider Nat—"Joshua's voice trailed off as memories of Natalie's deceit flooded his mind. He loathed mentioning her.After a deep breath, he declared, "I'm heading back to the office."Joshua grabbed his suit jacket from the coat rack and donned it. As he departed, his shoulder brushed against a bodyguard hurrying toward the house."Hello, Mr. Grayson," the bodyguard greeted with a quick nod before he hurried into the house."Josh, come back," Lorelei called out."No, I have some work to do in the offi

After glancing at Joshua, Lorelei gestured toward the gate and instructed the bodyguard, "Go ahead. Bring Ms. Lovelace in.""Got it!" the bodyguard replied before heading for the gate.As the gate swung open, a fancy car pulled up.Lorelei was a bit taken aback seeing the car from the doorway. She hadn't expected Natalie to arrive in such a luxurious car, especially considering she'd only been with Joshua for a few months.During Natasha's time at Grayson Villa, she had always been driven around, but never in such an opulent vehicle. Lorelei couldn't help but notice the difference in how Joshua was treating Natalie.Meanwhile, Joshua was equally surprised. He had never seen the car before. His leather shoes made no sound as he cautiously approached it.When the car door opened, Randy was the first to step out. He was dressed formally and had a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on. His composed demeanor radiated a sense of maturity and reliability.Lorelei glanced at Joshua. She foun
