Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 614
Natasha even seemed to regard Natalie with contempt.Natalie was puzzled by Natasha's reaction because she had dropped clear hints, but Natasha seemed completely indifferent.Natalie raised an eyebrow, amazed at Natasha's ability to endure without easily getting angry.With a grim expression, Joshua said sternly, "You're mistaken."Oblivious to Joshua's stern expression, Natalie insisted, "I'm not. Josh, you went that day—""I said I didn't! Are you doubting me?" Joshua roared.Natalie didn't understand what she had said to upset Joshua. His cold stare immediately quieted her. She was puzzled by Joshua's sudden outburst of anger.Joshua strode solemnly toward the grand gates of Sullivan Villa, paying no attention to Natalie beside him.Natalie quickly followed Joshua, matching his pace. After being scolded by him, Natalie suddenly realized something was wrong with him.Could it be that he didn't want Natasha to know he had been to the hospital, so he yelled at Natalie instead?

The footsteps approaching from behind the large bronze gate grew louder with each passing moment. Natalie's heart pounded, her nerves tingling with tension.Meanwhile, Joshua seemed calm and unaffected. He stood in stark contrast to Natalie.As if struck by a thought, he directed his gaze toward Natasha, who stood nearby. Her smile bore a subtle hint of mockery, as though she were witnessing a scene unfold.As soon as Natasha caught Joshua's gaze, she quickly erased her smile and returned to an expressionless demeanor.Yet, Joshua had clearly noticed it. His expression darkened into a frown. Was Natasha gloating just now?Philip was barely holding on, his survival depending entirely on the help of the Sullivan family's miracle worker.Joshua and Natalie had traveled a long way to Topola to save Philip, yet Natasha appeared to gloat about their misfortune.How dare she?Joshua's expression turned grim, his jaw tensing with frustration. He couldn't understand what Natasha was t

Otherwise, no one would come to open the door even if these two knocked on it all day."We came from Oceanville and looking for the Sullivan family's miracle worker," Natalie said softly."The Sullivan family's miracle worker?" Xavier rubbed his chin, repeating in a low voice.Natalie quickly nodded, "Yes. It's the internationally renowned Sullivan family's miracle worker... We would like to see him and seek his help.""Is there a miracle worker in the Sullivan family?" Xavier asked in confusion.As a proper member of the Sullivan family, he had never heard of any Sullivan family's miracle worker. Where did this rumor come from?Natalie was startled by his question, "What do you mean by there isn't a miracle worker in the Sullivan family?""It shouldn't be... There clearly is…" Natalie thought these two were trying to drive her away intentionally by falsely claiming that there was no such person in the Sullivan family.So she quickly tugged on Joshua's sleeve, urging him to spe

"Please don't go..." Natalie grabbed a piece of Xavier's clothes tightly as he turned around.Xavier was forced to turn his head."What are you doing? I've already said that you can't enter. There's no point in saying more." Xavier's tone became slightly impatient.If the two of them were looking for someone other than Austin, Xavier might have been more lenient.But they had just made it clear that they were looking for the Sullivan family's miracle worker... which was Austin.Austin had secluded himself for many years and it could be said that he had never seen outsiders. Moreover, Austin was the head of the family. Without his orders, who would dare to bring someone in to see him?Xavier wouldn't dare to do it."Really? " Natalie pleaded, her eyes filled with entreaty. Coupled with her pitiful expression, no one could resist.Xavier remained expressionless. "No."Natalie couldn't help but complain inwardly.How could this man be so obstinate? She had said so much... yet he

"I'm sure you guys are not a couple. Otherwise... how could a girlfriend act in such a disobedient way?" Xavier said.Joshua's face immediately darkened.He, Joshua Grayson, had not reached the point where he needed a woman to rely on sacrificing her looks and charm to help him…"I said let go, can't you hear?" Joshua raised his voice.Natalie reflexively withdrew her hand from Xavier's clothes after she heard Joshua's angry voice, which brought her a sense of fear, and she had no idea why she let go of Xavier's clothes.By the time she realized it, Xavier had already turned around and completely closed the door.The huge red copper gate stood like a colossal barrier between the two of them and the Sullivan residence."You…" Natalie didn't even get to finish her sentence. Looking at the closed gate in front of her again, she couldn't help but stomp her feet in anger."This is too rude! How could they treat their own relatives like this?" Natalie shouted.Although she was just

Holding her phone, Natasha remained silent for a long time to think of what to answer. After a while, she finally answered, "Daniel, can I come back into the Sullivan residence in a few hours?"She wouldn't be exposed if she went back in when Joshua and Natalie were ready to depart to Oceanville after waiting for hours. But on the other end of the phone, Daniel seemed to not understand why Natasha said that. "Natty, your grandfather is clamoring to see you!"Natasha held the phone and listened to Daniel's urgent urging on one side while raising her eyes to the two people in front of the gate. Joshua and Natalie were standing not far away, only about ten meters from her.Joshua seemed to be in a bad mood because he couldn't enter the Sullivan residence, standing still without moving at all. He was tall with a strong physique, well-built but looking slim when dressed. He was standing still like a pillar in front of the gate of the Sullivan residence.Natasha frowned.It seemed t

"Your grandfather had never acted like this when he was younger. How could he become like this when he's older? It's just too scary..."Natty, you're the only one who can save me..." Daniel continued.If they let Austin continue to smash things, it would be his turn to be smashed next. After all, it would indeed be his fault as Natasha's uncle for not fulfilling his responsibilities if she really went back to Oceanville.Upon hearing this, Natasha fell silent instantly.Listening to Daniel, she had to go in even if she didn't want to.Otherwise, it would be too immature...Natasha took a deep breath. "Okay, I'll go in now. Don't worry."She had just managed to somewhat improve her relationship with Austin. If she let misunderstandings arise again, it would probably be difficult to reconcile with him no matter how much she tried to coax him in the future.Natasha hurriedly hung up the phone and immediately walked toward the gate.When she walked past Joshua and Natalie, she mov

Seeing Joshua had already spoken, Natalie said, "That's right, Natasha. That's not where you should go. Come back quickly!"If you want to show off and hope to impress Josh, I think you should stop trying."It depended on the situation to impress a man. Someone who acted recklessly regardless of the occasion like Natalie was just foolish.What kind of place was the Sullivan residence? It wasn't a place where she could act like a heroin. "Don't waste your efforts. Otherwise, you will end up being humiliated by the Sullivans. You might as well wait for Joshua's plan."As Natalie spoke, she unconsciously crossed her arms and looked at Natasha, seemingly looking down at her.Natasha suddenly stopped walking when she heard Natalie.How could Natalie ask her to wait for Joshua's plan? Funny.Natasha couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Did she have to wait for others to arrange things? Was she a child? Didn’t she have her own opinion? Couldn’t she decide without a man? Did she have

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
