Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 664
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

Looking at Natasha's sincere eyes, Austin didn't really believe her. Natasha always said there was nothing wrong whenever he asked her about this...If there really wasn't anything wrong, how could Carly lock her in the changing room?He held Natasha's hand and spoke leisurely, "Natty, even if Grandpa dies, you still have your dad, your uncle, and the others by your side. Anyway, there will always be someone in the Sullivan family to support you."You just need to live your life freely and don't worry about anything else."As long as he's alive, he would not let Natasha suffer the slightest injustice.Listening to Austin's words, Natasha quickly shook her head. "Grandpa, don't say that. You're definitely going to live a long life."Hopefully...Austin smiled and shook his head gently. "I don't hope to live that long. I just want to make sure my family is safe and sound..."...After hanging up the phone, a bodyguard promptly handed Jayden his half-smoked cigarette. "Mr. Turner

Carly couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard Jayden's words. "You're always surrounded by a hundred bodyguards, not even a fly can get past them, there won't be anything happening to you."Anyone in this world could play the victim but not Jayden. The bodyguards around Jayden were all strong. Normally, they wouldn't even let someone get close to Jayden.On the other end of the phone, Jayden heard Carly complaining about him. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and tutted, "Hey, language... Is that your reason for not caring about your brother?"Carly could imagine Jayden's expression when he said that through the screen.If she were next to him, she would probably get her head lightly rubbed and get her lesson...She chose to ignore him. She bent down, gently touched Natalie's hand, and spoke with concern, "Just tell me whatever you need. I'll bring it to you…"She didn't have many friends in Topola. Those young ladies in Topola were too scheming and always up to some

Carly froze as a hint of surprise appeared on her face. "Grandpa is looking for me? And he wants me to go... to the Sullivan Villa?"Why go to the Sullivan family? I'm not close with them.""How would I know the reason he's calling you to the Sullivan family? All you need to do is follow his order..."If you don't go, I'll be in trouble," Jayden said as he placed his phone on the table before casually picking up a cigarette from the other side of the table.One of the bodyguards immediately stepped forward, holding the lighter to his lips, gently igniting the cigarette. "Judging by Grandpa's tone, it seems like something urgent. You better leave now. If you don't have a car, I can pick you up and take you to the Sullivan Villa," Jayden said.There was silence in response. "Did you hear me?" Jayden raised an eyebrow and asked again.Carly didn't hear Jayden's voice. She stood by Natalie's bedside and remained unmoved, feeling a sense of unease for some reason.Meanwhile, Nata

Natasha was listening attentively as Austin chattered in her ear. He never seemed to stop talking... Natasha smiled gently as she listened.She accidentally looked up and saw a thin figure outside the door.Natasha was puzzled. Could that figure be Carly?She couldn't help but squint slightly, carefully examining the newcomer.Carly, with her long black hair and wearing a khaki coat, cautiously stepped into the living room to make sure that she came to the right place.She even kept stepping backward, trying to get a clear view of the door plaque to confirm if she had come to the right place.Carly repeatedly confirmed in her mind, but something felt off. Natasha couldn't possibly be sitting in there. Wasn't she supposed to be in the hospital? She heard Natasha suddenly had a fever at the medical conference... She didn't know how serious it was. Regardless, she shouldn't be here. After all, this place was the Sullivan Villa.Natasha watched Carly's series of movements

Issac, who had been dealing with the major families in Topola for so many years was aware of people's character? Austin might be smiling brightly, but the more radiant the smile, the more malicious thoughts might be hidden behind it.Carly was still young and didn't understand these intricacies, but Issac was of a certain age and definitely knew it."No need, it's more sincere to apologize standing up. Come on, Carly, apologize to Ms. Sullivan." Issac patted Carly's shoulder, indicating for her to approach Natasha.Upon hearing this, Carly was a bit stunned.What?Apologize?She didn't understand Issac's words.Why did he mention Ms. Sullivan? Natasha was Ms. Sullivan? How come she never knew there was such a person in the Sullivan family?Someone with Natasha's character couldn't possibly be Ms. Sullivan."Grandpa, you must be mistaken. She's not Ms. Sullivan at all..." Carly said.Before she could finish her sentence, Issac stopped her."What are you saying? This is the

As Carly spoke, she moved forward, her outstretched fingers almost poking Natasha's face. Natasha, upon being scolded by Carly, retreated half a step, pursing her lips.Hearing Carly's words, Austin's brows furrowed, and he was ready to call the bodyguards if Carly took another step forward."Can't you use more sophisticated methods? This one is too lowly.""Who knows if you locked yourself in the changing room to frame others?" Carly felt that since Natasha could covet someone else's boyfriend, she must be capable of other dirty deeds as well."I'm telling you today. I can't apologize for baseless accusations." Carly became more and more excited as she spoke, and the distance between the two quickly narrowed down.Austin couldn't bear to watch any longer. He immediately waved his hand, and the bodyguards, getting the signal, acted immediately. One of them put his hand on Carly's shoulder and pulled her back."What are you doing?"Issac, who was also indulgent toward Carly, coul

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
