Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 629
"Josh... Are you really just going to stand by and watch Natasha take the necklace?" Although Natalie didn't dare to directly snatch it, she couldn't suppress her anger.Her eyes stared unwaveringly at Natasha, afraid that she would simply throw the necklace to the ground."Didn't you hear what I just said? The plant you accidentally stepped on is called the Mystic Herb..." Joshua answered coldly.Joshua didn't want to think much about whether Natalie stepped on it on purpose or not."I made it clear about its value just now, didn't I? Don't you understand? Your necklace doesn't even compare to half the price of the Mystic Herb." Joshua spoke coldly and emotionless.As soon as he finished speaking, Natalie took a step back, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.Joshua's words were so straightforward. There was no way for her to not understand the meaning.Although the Mystic Herb was expensive, she had accidentally stepped on it. Couldn't Joshua help her say a few w

Three years ago, there were security guards stationed at the entrance of the Sullivan residence all day long. The door would never have remained unanswered after prolonged knocking.Natasha had been away from home for a long time and was unaware of what the Sullivan family had experienced in recent years, nor did she know why the security guards at the entrance of the Sullivan residence were all gone.She left home in a hurry and didn't bring her keys... She would usually ride in the car with Daniel and go straight into the Sullivan residence. Natasha didn't know exactly how to enter the Sullivan residence on foot.This made her feel at a loss.If things didn't work out, she had to call Daniel and have him send someone to pick her up.…However, Joshua was just standing silently in place, not coming forward to stop Natalie, which was quite surprising.Did the sun rise from the west?Joshua didn't stop her.Natasha thought in her mind while continuing to knock on the door.For a moment,

The knocking on the gate of Sullivan Villa grew louder, it could be heard even from the surrounding mountains, causing numerous birds to fly away.Many birds chirped and flew out from the trees, creating a spectacular scene.Natalie kept knocking on the gate as if she could never feel tired and there was still a hint of anger on her face.She was gritting her teeth as if releasing all her pent-up anger through this action.She seemed to blow off steam at this moment by knocking on the gate. The louder it became, the more distorted her expression.Joshua was standing straight behind Natalie. Although he couldn't see the distorted expression on Natalie's face, his expression gradually tightened as he listened to the noisy knocking.He could recall that Natalie didn't behave like this when she knocked on the gate earlier.When did the gentle and weak little princess who couldn't even open a bottle cap become so strong?Listening to the powerful and loud knocking, he couldn't even

Natalie suddenly squinted her eyes as her gaze drifted over Natalie's pure white cheeks.There was a hint of ambiguity in Natasha's eyes, causing Natalie to inexplicably feel a sense of fear brewing inside her.She then touched her smooth cheek. "You're not planning to ruin my face, are you?"Ruining her face would give Natasha, the stand-in a chance to replace her.So this was what Natasha was planning!How shameless.Natalie wouldn't let Natasha succeed. Without hesitation, she immediately rejected it aloud, "Natasha, don't even think about it. I won't bet on my face!"Upon hearing that, Natasha was puzzled. "I haven't even said anything about the bet yet. Why are you reacting so much? Are you afraid of losing?"Natalie snorted coldly, "I won't lose! Even if you kneel in front of the Sullivan Villa all day today, you won't get to see the Sullivans! Do you think I'll lose?""Oh? Is that so?" There was a hint of playfulness and curiosity in Natasha's gaze.She finally smiled

Natalie's eyes widened as she listened to Natasha's words. She couldn't help but doubt her own ears.Did she hear correctly? What did Natasha just say?Her casual attitude and nonchalant demeanor immediately flooded Natalie's mind."I left in a hurry and forgot to bring my key, so I had to trouble you to open the gate for me." Recalling these words, Natalie couldn't help but think Natasha was truly insane.Who did she think she was? Forgot to bring her key? Did she really think Sullivan Villa was her home and she was the young lady of the Sullivan Villa?Was she still half asleep?If Natalie wasn't still waiting for Natasha to fulfill her bet, she would have slapped her to wake her up.At the same time, Joshua was shocked to hear Natashai's words. "Natasha, have you gone mad?"If you want to go mad, go back to Oceanville and act mad there. This isn't a place where you can just make up things."He could still bear Natalie embarrassing him back in Oceanville, but now Natasha had

This feeling was very strange.He seemed to obey the woman in front of him very much. As soon as she asked, he couldn't help but obediently answer.In the entire Sullivan family, only the young lady could make him behave like this...The bodyguard regained his composure and once again earnestly appraised Natasha.Inadvertently, the man caught sight of the faintly visible pendant hanging between the folds of her dress.The pendant was something only the young lady had, absolutely unmistakable.The bodyguard immediately confirmed Natasha's identity."You actually came back?!" The bodyguard's words were filled with shock."You're really back!" The bodyguard was surprised, joy overflowing as if he wanted to rush back to tell Austin immediately.Natasha smiled and quickly stopped him, "I've been back for many days, Grandpa already knows."It's just that I left in a hurry today and forgot to bring my key, so I had to trouble you to open the gate for me.""It's not a problem...

"Who am I?" Natasha frowned as she seemed to find Joshua's question a bit strange.Then she shrugged slightly and spoke casually, "Besides being Natasha, who else could I be?"Are you also a little sick like Natalie?"Otherwise, you two should hurry to the hospital for a check-up."Natasha's words sounded plain, but they made Joshua distinctly sense a hint of mockery. "Natasha, stop pretending to be stupid and answer my question honestly!"I'm asking you, what is your relationship with the Sullivan family?"Now was not the time for jokes.This matter was crucial, and he had to get to the bottom of it.Joshua stared at Natasha intently, his eyes showing a coldness that was completely different from usual.He was not happy.He disliked Natasha keeping things from him. It made him feel like he was losing control, and he didn't like that feeling.Natasha remained silent.She just quietly looked at him and smiled gently, just like how she used to smile every day for the past thr

After that, Natalie cried as tears welled up in her eyes in just a moment. "I don't want to leave Josh…"Natasha, I was just being foolish and impulsive, please don't blame me..."As for those bets, they were just jokes from my foolishness, they are not worth your noble attention."Natasha, please forgive me..."With her head bowed, Natalie showed a humility she had never shown before.Natasha was surprised by Natalie's sudden change in attitude.She then frowned.In terms of flexibility, no one dared to claim first if Natalie was ranked second."Stop calling my name softly, I find it disgusting."Natalie took a step back while looking panicked. "Fine, if you don't like it, I won't do it anymore…"But I have a humble request... Though I don't know your exact identity, since you can enter the Sullivan Villa, please save Grandpa Philip's life!"As she finished speaking, Natalie knelt to the ground.Standing beside her, Joshua could even hear the sound of her knees hitting 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

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
