Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 672
She couldn’t explain. Because when she took Natasha to that changing room, she did have some evil thoughts in her mind. But she didn’t act on them at all and had never put her thoughts into practice…However, if she were to explain this, Natasha would definitely not believe it. Not only would Natasha not believe it, but Sulivans wouldn’t believe it either.Who would believe that she took Natasha to a secluded changing room with evil intentions, only to do nothing in the end?"You're not saying anything?" Natasha seemed to have lost her patience.She crossed her slender arms and coldly scrutinized Carly. Her gaze looked as if she was passing judgment. It seemed to contain a hidden coldness."Then I'll ask another question. Did you deliberately spill the wine on me?"Carly pursed her lips. The gazes of everyone around were all focused on her, waiting only for her answer."You're not going to answer this question either?"Natasha tapped the ground with her feet, one tap after ano

Carly was a straightforward person. She never beat around the bush when speaking, and she had a strong aversion to evil, so she hardly ever told lies.But when facing Natasha's questioning, she hesitated for the first time. Her words once again stuck in her throat.Natasha seemed somewhat helpless. She sighed heavily. "Ms. Turner, I've asked you so many questions, so you should answer at least one, right? You can't just let me talk to myself, can you? "You don't say a word, don't explain, and when asked, you only answer with 'it wasn't you.' Do you think that's convincing?"Even if I wanted to believe you, you haven't given me a reason to."This statement increased the pressure Carly felt.At that moment, Daniel and Austin beside her both cast sidelong glances, their eyes almost overflowing with murderous intent.Issac couldn't hold back anymore after he saw the three Sullivans gang up on Carly. "Carly, say something. If you have nothing to say, then apologize to the person.

Buying a villa for Natalie now would be equivalent to pushing her directly into Natasha's arms, making it easier for Natasha to retaliate. It was like pushing Natalie into the fire pit. Carly wasn't stupid. She definitely wouldn't willingly put someone as innocent as Natalie in danger.Carly stood there, torn between her caring grandfather and the watchful Sullivans. She seemed to suddenly make a decision."The incident in the changing room wasn't done by me, and Natalie has nothing to do with it. I've made myself clear. If you don't believe me, then there's nothing more I can do," she said with absolute conviction and no guilt. But in reality, only she knew that this was the first lie she had ever told in all these years, all for the sake of her friend."That's all I can say. You're on your own now."After saying this, Carly didn't hesitate at all. She turned around and walked straight toward the door.The bodyguards were about to stop her but were unexpectedly stopped by Natas

Natasha was initially smiling, but when she heard Austin's sad tone, her smile faded away."Grandpa, I've told you that you'll definitely live a long life."But Austin just smiled and shook his head.Natasha felt her heart sink. She blinked, looking somewhat pitiful. "Grandpa, I'm serious. Do you not believe me?"She held up three fingers and swore, "My words are powerful, Grandpa. You have to believe me."Austin still looked at her with a smile, as if he was watching a child perform. His face showed a kind look.He clearly just treated Natasha's words as a joke. He just found her serious swearing very cute.When she saw the kindly look in Austin's eyes, Natasha began to feel anxious. The way Austin shook his head seemed to indicate that he didn't care about life and death at all.For some reason, when she looked at the despondent Austin, she suddenly thought of Jacob.She used to have Jacob by her side. But Jacob abandoned her, leaving her alone in the world.Now she had Aus

There was no need to think about it. Natasha must have suddenly remembered being bullied and felt aggrieved, so she couldn't help but cry.As Daniel spoke, he rolled up his sleeves as if he was getting angry and was about to go beat someone up."No, no, absolutely not." Natasha wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and emphatically repeated the "no's" in a row."There's absolutely nothing. Uncle Daniel, you mustn't go to Topola to settle scores with anyone…"Natasha still remembered how, when she was young, she was bullied by the Wilson's young scion in Topola. She had cried all the way home with tears in her eyes.While crying, she ran into Daniel on the way home. He stopped her on the spot, grabbed her arm, and asked about the situation.She was young at the time and didn't understand much. Whatever Daniel asked, she just answered and told him everything that had happened.After listening, Daniel didn't have much of a reaction. He just smiled and conjured up a piec

Natasha crossed her arm, the other casually swinging the phone. A few housekeepers hurried over not far away, carrying something in their hands. From a distance, their posture seemed somewhat submissive.Natasha was unable to resist looking, so she glanced up while holding the phone.As they approached, she could see clearly that they were carrying something large and heavy.Behind them were several strong bodyguards, each holding boxes that clanged heavily as they walked, indicating their weight.Natasha glanced casually at the group of people, not paying much attention.They were probably carrying medicinal herbs inside.She shifted her gaze back to the phone and lightly said, "You're not going to speak? If you don't, I'll hang up."Silence prevailed on the other end of the line.When she listened carefully, she could hear the sound of a lighter igniting a cigarette. It was as if the next moment, smoke would permeate from the phone screen.Natasha raised an eyebrow.She k

Such fashionable clothes would be hard to come by, even for designers."These were all brought from the warehouse by Mr. Sullivan Senior," the housekeeper answered truthfully."The warehouse?" Natasha's brows furrowed slightly. How could the warehouse have such trendy clothes? It didn't make sense.Seeing Natasha's expression change, the housekeeper hurried to explain, "Please don't misunderstand, Ms. Sullivan. These clothes were all recently sent by the Turners. Mr. Sullivan Senior saw there was no place to put them, so he asked us to tidy them up in the warehouse.""They're all recent and new." The housekeeper looked somewhat apprehensive, as if afraid Natasha would think the clothes were not clean."Sent by the Turners?" Natasha was puzzled. "Aren't the Turners specialized in computer research? Where did these clothes come from? And why send so many over…"This was quite strange."You may not know, Ms. Sullivan, but the lady of the Turners is a famous international designer.

The phone lay quietly on the ground, accompanied by the fragments.Joshua hadn't been this angry in a long time. He didn't know what had happened today, but Natasha had suddenly touched a nerve, igniting his fury.He found it hard to control himself.His anger seemed to be far from dissipating. He furrowed his brows and wanted to sweep everything off the table.But the moment his hand touched the table, he stopped himself. He took a deep breath and forcibly withdrew his hand.At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.The knocking was intermittent and sounded somewhat weak as if the person knocking lacked confidence.But after knocking for a while without any response from inside, the person knocking seemed to get anxious, and the knocking became more urgent.Joshua was already irritable, and he barely restrained himself from sweeping everything off the table in anger.And this knocking, like the last straw that broke the camel's back, made him feel even more irrita

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
