Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 658
After all, during her time at the Grayson Villa, whenever Philip and Lorelei treated her kindly, she would find ways to prepare a good meal or buy them gifts. In any case, she would do her best to reciprocate their kindness. She didn't want, nor did she like, owing favors to others. Whenever she attended banquets with Joshua, some wealthy ladies would give her rare items or limited-edition jewelry and clothing. Even if she had nothing to give in return, she would remember each gift and repay them one by one.Every time this happened, Joshua would impatiently tell her that there was no need to return each gift. These gifts were just a casual expense for these wealthy ladies.They gave her gifts because they wanted to establish a good relationship with the Grayson family... If Natasha accepted these gifts, it would help them obtain far more benefits and value from the Grayson family in the future."Natasha didn't listen. Regardless of others' intentions, she stubbornly belie

Issac's lips curled slightly as he shook his sleeve. "Do you really think we can't do without you?"What a joke!""If we won't cooperate, so be it. We don't lack a cooperation partner like the Sullivan family." Sacrificing Carly's reputation across the entire capital for the sake of cooperation was completely unworthy. Carly's future was far more important than anything else."Do you know how many people in the capital are eager to cooperate with us?" Issac was the kind of person who would get angry when someone rudely talked to him.Listening to Issac's provocative attitude, Daniel smirked. "Alright then."Since you put it that way, we will comply with you."He reached out and began counting on his fingers and raised his voice, "Since you say we won't cooperate, does that mean all the equipment we lent you must be returned?"At this point, Daniel slapped his forehead as if suddenly remembering something. Daniel asked irritatingly, "Before we settle the equipment. Do your

Just as Issac finished speaking, Daniel didn't give him a chance to catch his breath before continuing. "Let's talk about returning the medical equipment to the Sullivan family, shall we?"Let me count the amount of equipment we have lent you... There are ultra-precise photon detectors, proton heavy ion accelerator, the spiral CT..."Daniel spoke while massaging his temples as if he were suffering from a headache. "Oh my, there's too much to count, I can't keep track. I'll have our butler prepare a list and send it to your house. You can then return everything according to the list."As Daniel was speaking, he had the butler prepare the list.However, the Turner family couldn't take his words lightly.Returning all the medical equipment was not something they could easily recover from. The Turner family had indeed borrowed a lot of medical equipment from the Sullivan family. After all, the Sullivan family was second to none in terms of equipment reserves, and no one dared to cla

Issac stood frozen with a hint of hesitation."Mr. Turner, why aren't you speaking again?""Is the Turner family unwilling to return those doctors to the Sullivan family?" Daniel seemed to have lost his patience. He placed his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth as he spoke. "I know exactly how many doctors the Sullivan family has sent over."When the time comes, please send all of them back to the Sullivan family."Issac hesitated. He tried to find some reasons to keep the doctors. "These doctors have been working for the Turner family for a long time, some have even started families here. I'm afraid it would be difficult for them if we suddenly send them back to the Sullivan family!""Oh? Is that so?" Daniel frowned.Seeing Daniel's expression, Issac thought there might be a chance to keep the doctors, so he quickly spoke up. "Yes, we have even provided houses and cars for the doctors. They have almost settled down in the Turner family... It would be inhumane to make

At that moment, everyone shifted their gaze to Natasha. She felt so embarrassed that she wished to disappear. It turned out to be her own phone.Natasha chuckled awkwardly and quickly took the phone from the servant.The ringtone wasn't particularly loud, but in this tense and awkward atmosphere, it seemed deafening. Perhaps due to a system update, Natasha didn't recognize it as she hadn't heard this ringtone before."Natty, who's calling you?" Austin asked from the side with a caring tone."Let me check..." Natasha glanced at the caller ID as she took the phone, brightly displaying Joshua's name."If it's urgent, you can go out to answer the call," Austin's voice was gentle and understanding.But in the moment Natasha saw the name, she blurted out, "It was nothing urgent."Nothing urgent at all, I'll call back later."Natasha frowned. She decisively hung up the call without even a moment of hesitation.As she hung up, she muttered, complaining about how Joshua had a knack f

"Going home to pick Carly up?" Daniel repeated these words while raising an eyebrow. "So does it mean that you have agreed to apologize to Natasha? Are you willing to let Carly come and apologize?" Daniel seemed surprised, a bit disbelieving that Issac would actually compromise.It seemed that these medical instruments and doctors were greatly beneficial to the Turner family's development. Otherwise, he wouldn't choose to have Carly apologize to Natasha.Issac snorted reluctantly, indicating that he had agreed.With such a compromise, he wouldn't say it a second time."So can I leave now?" Issac seemed eager to leave, feeling humiliated with each passing second. It was a humiliation to be led away by the younger generation.Of course, although his previous statement was in the form of a question, it was actually a statement.Having occupied the highest position in the Turner family for years, Issac was accustomed to giving orders and making decisions. What he said was a command

Oceanville was a place Issac barely heard of. As a grandfather, Issac would not let Carly suffer in such a small place. It could be said that Natasha wasn't favored since the Sullivan family allowed her to marry and live in such a place…Actually, he was startled when he heard that Carly had locked another girl from a different family in the changing room, causing her to have a high fever. But the shock diminished significantly the next moment when he heard it was Natasha from the Sullivan family. Locking up an unfavored daughter from the Sullivan family didn't seem like a big deal. At most, he could personally apologize on behalf of the Turner family and settle the matter.But at this moment, Issac was pale. He never expected things to escalate to this point.His gaze shifted to Natasha, who was sitting at the table with Austin. Although the plates on the table were already filled with many kinds of breakfast, Austin seemed to be oblivious. He kept putting pastries on Nat

Jayden could clearly hear the anger in Issac's voice even through the phone. It was so deafening that he instinctively moved the phone away from his ear. He felt like Issac would be here any second."Do you hear me? Hurry up and bring Carly to me," Issac said.While waiting for Jayden to respond, Issac added loudly, "She must come today no matter what!""Answer me!" Issac shouted again."I heard you. I'll call her right now..." Jayden quickly hung up the phone, afraid that Issac's anger would spread to him.The call had been disconnected when Issac was about to say a few more words.He couldn't help but mutter to himself, where did these kids learn such a bad habit of hanging up on people like that..."Mr. Turner, you're so efficient. We really appreciate it," Daniel said, feeling quite satisfied with Issac's firm attitude just now. Why didn't he just do this earlier? It would have saved him from tangling with Issac for so long! Daniel bent down to pull out a chair for I

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
