Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 645
After Natasha finished speaking, she looked at Austin while feeling anxious. She was still a bit afraid that he hadn't calmed down. After all, she indeed didn't inform Austin when she left this morning. She didn't handle things properly. This led to all the members of Sullivan family especially Daniel being scolded by Austin…Thinking this way, Natasha couldn't help but turn to look at Daniel, casting him a sympathetic glance. Compared to her, he was the one who had been wronged.Fortunately, things didn't turn out as bad as she had imagined. Austin didn't get angry but instead smiled, beckoning Natasha over warmly. "Come, good child, come let Grandpa have a look at you..."Natasha blinked, seemingly not expecting Grandpa to calm down so quickly. In the blink of an eye, his expression had become so full of smiles. She stood still, being a bit hesitant to move.After all, this floor was littered with ceramic shards... These were not something to be taken lightly. Just lookin

She could truly feel the warmth of home only when she returned to the Sullivan family. Even if she did nothing, just quietly watching her family bicker and banter together, she felt genuinely happy and content from the bottom of her heart."Don't worry, I'll stay in Topola for a while longer. I'll stay here to accompany you!" Natasha reassured.As she spoke, she reached out and lightly massaged Austin's shoulders and back, her palm rhythmically kneading and patting, creating a comfortable sensation.Being massaged by Natasha, Austin became relaxed, showing a gentle and contented smile that couldn't be hidden on his face.Sitting in his chair, he enjoyed the comfortable feeling. Then he suddenly remembered something.He signaled for Natasha to stop. "Natty... When you came to Topola, did the Grayson family give you a hard time?"If they did, you must tell Grandpa. Grandpa will support you!"Although everyone in the Sullivan family was extremely reluctant when Natty insisted on ma

"I'm serious. This is a decision I've made after careful consideration," Austin answered while stroking his beard. He was thinking while smiling.Natasha raised an eyebrow, being left speechless. Was such a ridiculous idea actually the result of careful consideration?This was the Sullivan family's industry, after all!Even if it were to be given away, Natasha didn't want to give it to Joshua. Not to mention, there was Natalie by Joshua's side. If Natalie were to marry into the Grayson family in the future, wouldn't that be equivalent to directly giving the Sullivan family's industry to Natalie? She wouldn't stand for it!Austin beckoned Natasha over, indicating for Natasha to come closer.Natasha reluctantly walked over.Austin said while gently holding Natasha's hand, "Natty, after some consideration, I think that we were too stubborn before. We have always wanted to pick a good husband for you and didn't want you to suffer at your in-laws' place."But we were wrong. W

Austin's mood suddenly became somewhat low.He then sighed…Natasha would definitely get bored staying with an old man like himself.Young people nowadays liked to hang out with those of their own age... Where would you find a young girl staying at home to accompany her grandpa?Austin silently lowered his head and remained silent.Natasha noticed Austin's change in mood and quickly tried to make up for it. "Grandpa, don't worry, I'll definitely make time to come and see you often in the future."By then, when she moved to Topola, there would be plenty of time.But Austin thought that the reason Natasha said this was just to comfort him seeing him sad.He forced a smile, "Alright... Then you must come often. I will be waiting at home."Natasha listened to Austin's perfunctory words and understood his inner thoughts.He seemed to not believe her words.He must think that because she was so focused on Joshua, she wouldn't have time for the Sullivan family.Natasha couldn't he

Natalie continued to frantically search inside the blanket with her hands, trying to find that clear pendant.She almost flipped the entire blanket but still couldn't find a trace of the pendant.Where did it go... Natalie imagined countless possibilities in her mind. Maybe it was lost, maybe someone picked it up, maybe it was broken...But under no circumstances could it be taken by Joshua.She needed to make sure that the pendant didn't fall into Joshua's hands.Once he discovered that the pendant was fake, she would be completely finished.Although she hadn't carefully examined what the real pendant looked like.But Natalie was sure that the real and the fake were definitely different.Once Joshua discovered some clues, everything about wealth and glory and being a wealthy wife would have nothing to do with her...She would lose everything she had now and become just another insignificant branch member of the Sullivan family.Natalie frantically searched inside the blank

She was eager to know what Joshua was really looking at.But Joshua didn't say a word, just kept staring at her.Moreover, Joshua inherently had a pair of icy, cold eyes. When he became serious, others couldn't figure out what he was thinking at all.The more he stared at her, the more flustered she became.This eerie atmosphere lasted for a long time. Natalie finally couldn't bear Joshua's gaze and completely surrendered.She spoke coquettishly and fearfully at the same time, "Josh, what's wrong?"You're staring at me without saying a word and it is making me feel uneasy."Can you stop looking at me like this..." Natalie grabbed Joshua's sleeve, looking pitiful."If you haven't done anything wrong, why feel afraid?" Joshua asked.His eyes remained serious."I... I..." Natalie tried to gather her thoughts."I just..." Natalie couldn't think of any explanation, so she just tightened her head, closed her eyes, and pretended to be exhausted."Josh... My head seems to ache agai

Natalie turned pale.Joshua's gaze was fixed on her, waiting for her explanation.He played with the pendant in his hand. The pendant wasn't large, but it appeared even smaller being held in Joshua's large palm.Looking from afar, the material of the pendant seemed excellent. Joshua stroked the contours of the protruding "Sullivan" with his fingers. "Is this pendant from the Sullivan family?"In fact, he felt something was off when the pendant fell to the ground that afternoon.Pendants were usually fragile, let alone Natalie's pendant, which was made of sapphire.It was widely known that although sapphire was hard, it was extremely brittle. The higher the quality of the material, the more fragile it tended to be.Although Natalie's pendant looked like sapphire, it didn't break or even scratch when it fell from such a height.The Sullivan family was prominent in the capital so all their items were of superior quality.If this pendant was from the Sullivan family, it must have

After all, Natalie's resolute demeanor was too convincing.Moreover, Natalie's mother had passed away. No one would use their deceased mother to make such a ruthless oath.Believe it or not, if he continued to question her like this, it would seem like he lacked compassion.Seeing Joshua's expression soften slightly, Natalie, who was still kneeling moved forward a few steps.She blinked her eyes, looked up at Joshua, and spoke softly, "Josh... Is there something I did wrong that made you unhappy?"If you feel uncomfortable, then punish me as you see fit. I won't complain."I just don't want to be treated like this without reason, so I made the oath to prove myself..."If you have any opinions, please tell me. I will improve myself."Although Natalie was kneeling, she was very straight.Her appearance seemed gentle and weak, but she looked tough. Her eyes were clear as if they contained precious light, making her look like someone unjustly accused.Looking at Natalie, Joshua h

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
