Natalie sounded so righteous, but why wasn't she applying the same standards to herself?Natasha continued, "Besides, I can buy anything I want when I'm spending my own money. What's it to you?"Her good mood had been utterly ruined. She wasn't even interested in buying a new place anymore.Natalie was rendered speechless. After a while, she glared at Natasha and said, "Your money? Where would an unemployed orphan like yourself get that much money from? You're still denying that you're using the Grayson family's money!"Natasha didn't want to continue quarreling with her. She was in a terrible mood now. She couldn't understand how Joshua had fallen for such a materialistic woman and why he'd been so hung up on her for years.Natasha turned to beckon at one of the property agents. She picked one of the units at random and said, "I'll have this one, and I'll pay by card."She ignored Natalie completely.The property agent respectfully accepted Natasha's black card and said, "This
Natasha's exasperation grew. She sneered at the "perfect couple" standing before her with their arms tightly wrapped around one another."I've just realized how blind you are, Joshua. Have you forgotten why the Grayson family almost went bankrupt three years ago? One big reason for that is that you don't know the people around you."The woman you're holding so tightly now isn't like what you imagine. I'd advise you to think long and hard about this," Natasha said.Joshua looked at her sharply. "I'm blind? Indeed, I am. I've always thought you were a gentle, kind woman, yet you've turned out to be someone who gets jealous easily and even gets physical with another woman. I can't believe you allowed your jealousy to make you lash out like this!"So, Joshua thought she and Natalie had gotten into a fight because she was jealous of Natalie? What was there to be jealous of?The fact that Natalie had his heart? The fact that Natalie could live a happy life with him?This was such a jok
Natalie became as pale as a sheet. Her hands trembled violently as she tightened her grip on Joshua's shirt."Josh, hear me out …" She extricated herself from his embrace as tears filled her eyes.Natasha raised an eyebrow when she saw how Natalie could summon her tears at will. It was a pity she wasn't an actress."I came out with Gina to buy some daily necessities when I saw Natasha driving past us in a Maybach. I followed her because I wanted to greet her." Natalie's voice was shaky, but she made sure to emphasize "Maybach", as if afraid Joshua wouldn't catch it."Wow. You followed me, too, huh?" Natasha gave her a cold look.Natalie didn't respond to that. She continued tearily, "As soon as I came in here, I saw Natasha wanting to buy a house."She pointed at the brochure on the countertop. Joshua's gaze followed her finger and landed on it. His gaze darkened.Natalie observed him. When she saw the change in his gaze, she relaxed a little. Even the Grayson family couldn't af
Now that Natalie was sure she had Joshua's support, her voice grew louder. "As far as I'm aware, you have been unemployed for the past three years. All you've done is stay at home, so there's no way you could've gotten the money by working."You're also an orphan, so your money couldn't have come from your family. So, where could the money have come from?" Natalie looked at Natasha.With every possibility that she crossed out, she became more confident that she knew where Natasha's money had come from.Natasha smiled while listening to Natalie analyze the situation. She couldn't wait to see what Natalie would frame her for.Joshua listened while looking icy. Natalie continued, "Natasha's always been in charge of the Grayson family's finances. You must've trusted her, right, Josh?"Joshua nodded. Indeed, he'd trusted Natasha wholeheartedly for the past three years. He'd left the Grayson family in her capable hands. She was a satisfactory wife who'd taken good care of his mother and
"Jamie, I want you to check all the cash we have. If there's anything that doesn't match up, tell me immediately! Also, I want you to have the finance department check on the company's cash flow. Make sure everything matches up." Joshua hung up.He returned to Grayson Villa in a rage and immediately summoned the butler, Greg Zuckerberg.Greg approached the fuming Joshua cautiously. His back was slightly bent from his fear. He'd worked for the Grayson family for decades and had watched Joshua grow up. It was rare to see him so mad."Greg, I want you to check all of the Grayson family's assets. Don't leave out a single thing," Joshua said ruthlessly."Yes, sir. I've already checked everything after taking over from Ms. Sullivan. I'll show you the records right now."Natalie stood beside Joshua and handed him a cup of freshly brewed tea. "Don't get too worked up, Josh. Have some tea and calm down."She helped him sit down and patted his back. "C'mon, sit down. Don't let Natasha get
"It would be a major embarrassment to the Grayson family if such a shameless woman continued staying with us!" Joshua felt the anger rising inside him. He couldn't control himself from curling his fingers into a fist.He had still felt bad about divorcing Natasha at first, thinking that it must be too cruel for her. He actually thought of compensating her properly for the past three years she'd been by his side.Now, however, all he felt for her was disgust.He had to divorce this shameless woman immediately!Joshua couldn't withhold his anger anymore. He jumped to his feet at once and got into his car before starting up the engine."Josh? Where are you going?" Natalie asked, running up after him with concern in her eyes.If Natasha really was seeing other men behind his back, she wouldn't be welcome at the Graysons' house any longer. Joshua would most definitely kick Natasha out without caring about their past. In other words, the title of "Mrs. Grayson" would very soon be Nat
Joshua scoffed and entered the courthouse with long strides.Natasha was still trying to catch up with him when she was stopped by a figure that suddenly appeared before her."Lorelei?" Natasha exclaimed in surprise, recognizing the figure.Joshua heard her exclaim and turned around. When he saw his mother, he frowned even deeper than before. The look of disgust on his face turned more intense.Did Natasha invite his mother to the courthouse so she didn't have to divorce him? She should have known from the start that this would be the outcome once she saw someone else behind his back. Was she trying to keep him and her side-lover too? Was that why his mother appeared?Joshua forced himself to suppress the utter disgust in him as he politely greeted his mother. "Mom, what are you doing here?"Lorelei Madison reached out and smacked her son on the hand. "Who gave you permission to divorce Natasha?"What was Lorelei doing here? Natasha hurriedly held her back as she began throwin
Natasha looked at Joshua and said calmly, "Everything I did for you for the past three years was done out of my own volition. You don't have to guilt-trip yourself over it."Things had ended too abruptly between her and that man the last time. She hadn't been able to do anything but watch helplessly as he suffered.If only she had arrived a little earlier, things wouldn't have ended between them. She also wouldn't have felt so guilty that she gave up everything she had and married Joshua despite her family's protests.Natasha stared at Joshua's face as her mind wandered. She was lost in her memories and didn't realize that Joshua was looking at her with emotion in his eyes.Joshua stared at the deep look in Natasha's eyes. There was a conflicted look on his face.Was she really having an affair with someone else?There was no way someone could pretend to have such a deep look in their eyes. In fact, Joshua still believed that Natasha loved him. But at this moment, he wasn't too
