Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 618
"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

It was the third time and his patience had reached its limit."Natasha, don't make me! Are you really taking my words for granted?" The man's forehead veins slightly bulged, his voice carrying an anger.They were quite far away from Natasha and weren't familiar with herbal plants. Thus, the grass was no different from roadside wildflowers in their eyes.However, it was different for Natasha.She was familiar with various herbs. The grass she was holding in her hand was an extremely precious medicinal herb mainly used to treat eye diseases.She didn't know where such a precious herb came from. Perhaps the gust of wind earlier had brought it to her feet.Since it had landed at her feet, she subconsciously picked it up out of her instinct as a doctor.Before she could secure the herb in her hand, a hand with visible veins suddenly reached out from behind and forcefully knocked the herb from her hand without a word the next moment."What are you doing?" Natasha was startled.She d

"Let go of me!" Natasha's hand was tightly held by Joshua, making her unable to move.Joshua's strength was still as strong as usual, she couldn't even move a bit."Don't touch me, let go of me quickly!" She felt the part of her body grabbed by the man starting to burn.Joshua ignored her intense words.He snorted coldly, "Let go of you? And then let you embarrass yourself in front of the Sullivans?"She might not care, but he did."Does it have anything to do with you whether I'm embarrassed or not? Do you have to meddle so much?" Natasha asked."Meddle? Think about your current identity. Do you still think I'm meddling?" Joshua responded.She was his wife.Why couldn't he meddle?Besides, all of this was for her own good. Why was Natasha so disobedient?He didn't like women who constantly challenged his bottom line.The more Joshua thought about it, the angrier he became. Ignoring Natasha's rebukes, he continued to pull her forward.Natasha stumbled along, forced to move

"Josh... look. Natasha's wrist is all red. Although you don't like her, I think you're being a bit too harsh." Natalie refused to move and pleaded with her eyes.Joshua was irritated by her gaze and furrowed his brows tightly.Watching the confrontation between the two, a plan suddenly crossed Natasha's mind. Although Natalie's words were disgusting, her timing was perfect.It gave Natasha the perfect opportunity!Without further ado, Natasha took advantage of Joshua's distracted attention and forcefully twisted his wrist.Before Joshua could react, she broke free from his grasp."You…" Joshua's eyes flashed with shock as he looked at Natalie.Natasha rubbed her reddened wrist, shrugged her shoulders provocatively, and taunted, "What? Do you have something to say about the way you've hurt my hand, Mr. Grayson? "Do you want to pay for my medical expenses?"Joshua was so angry that his whole body trembled and unable to speak for a moment. "Natasha, you!"Natasha turned her

Watching Joshua picking up the herb from Nataie's dress, Natasha raised an eyebrow with a playful tone. "So, are you always going to pay for Natalie, Mr. Grayson?"With a hint of hesitation, she seemed unsure whether to agree to this."But I've always believed that whoever does the deed should bear the consequences, so this money..." Natasha pointed at Natalie.Her tone was drawn out, "Natalie has to pay for it."Before Joshua could speak, Natalie couldn't hold back anymore. "Daydreaming! If you want to beg, go beg somewhere else. Don't think about extorting people."Wasn't Natasha quite arrogant earlier?She used to buy the TImperial Heights without hesitation and even bought a blue diamond ring in the size of a pigeon egg without blinking an eye.What's going on now?Was it because she got tired of being played by her sugar daddy and got dumped... Was she so broke that she had to beg on the streets?Natalie smirked, her eyes filled with disdain.Now that she couldn't rely

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
