Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 83
Natasha observed Joshua's retreating figure with a complex expression. She shook her head before stepping forward to follow him into the banquet hall.She couldn't understand why Joshua hadn't just signed the divorce agreement that was right there.Just as Natasha was about to enter the banquet hall, Joshua, walking ahead, suddenly stopped and blocked her way.Instinctively, Natasha met Joshua's cold, indifferent eyes. Even the moonlight failed to uncover the shadows within.Had he changed his mind? Natasha oddly felt a bit relieved.With his shirt collar slightly undone, Joshua spoke, "You don't have to bring up the divorce with Grandpa later. I've already talked to him about it today.""You've talked to him already?"Joshua nodded. He didn't want Natasha getting too involved with the Graysons nor having lingering thoughts on the matter."Alright," said Natasha. Since Joshua had already sorted things out with his grandfather, Natasha figured there was no need for her to appr

Joshua didn't even bother turning around when he heard that. His face went cold, and he snapped, "Just drive."His eyes clearly showed annoyance.Ben pressed his lips together, giving Natasha one last glance before accelerating away.It was pretty obvious that Joshua wanted nothing to do with Natasha. Ben figured there was no need to stir up trouble, and it seemed like he'd have to focus on pleasing Natalie in the future.Natasha frowned as she watched Joshua's car disappear into the distance. She couldn't help but wonder what on earth could be so important that he would just leave without a single word.Honestly, she couldn't quite figure out what was going through Joshua's mind. Regardless, she had already given Joshua the divorce agreement. He could do whatever he pleased.Deciding she wasn't going back into the banquet hall, Natasha decided to just head straight home.Natasha instinctively opened her phone to send Lorelei a quick message. As she typed, it hit her, and she en

"Oh, speaking of which, that laboratory has just been completed. Professor Nancy hasn't really been there much, but I've got the inside scoop. "Starting tomorrow, she'll be carrying out her research there every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday."Joshua stretched his legs, sat up from the couch, and nodded."Okay, I've spilled all the beans I could find for you." Matt took a sip of his tea. "Man, digging up all this stuff really drained me."Joshua flashed a smile. "Once I handle these issues, I owe you a meal. Or if there's anything you want, just let me know." Matt lounged on the couch and said, "Don't wait for these issues to clear. Carpe diem. How about hitting a pub tonight for a drink?""It's been ages since we all had a drink together. Either work's got you busy, or you're not in the mood. The bros are really missing you," Matt added.Hearing this, Joshua pursed his lips. "Tonight won't work. I've got a whole bunch of guests waiting for me at home. I've got to head back."

Lorelei asked in a measured tone, "Joshua, did you fight with Tasha again?"Joshua's eyebrows furrowed even more. "We didn't fight."Lorelei became even more puzzled. "Could Tasha really have left without saying a word? Previously, I looked for the both of you in the banquet hall and didn't find you. I even looked for you in Grandpa's room upstairs."She knew Tasha was very polite and well-mannered, so it was impossible for her to leave the banquet without bidding goodbye."If she left, so be it," Joshua said without any expression as if he couldn't care less. However, only he knew how uncomfortable he was feeling but he couldn't figure out why. …The next morning, after she finished getting ready, Natasha drove to the laboratory of the International Pharmaceutical Association.The association called her up again to research and develop a new drug. This time, the drug would be for a field that she had never been involved in. The moment she heard about the drug's properties, s

Ryan noticed that something was off with Natasha's expression. He looked at her and asked, "Professor? What's wrong?"Her elegant composure betrayed hints of worry. She was lost in her thoughts and didn't hear Ryan. Joshua's position as president was already set in stone. If she gave the authorization to Joshua, Grayson Corporation would definitely be able to overcome this hurdle.She understood Joshua's capabilities. The company's ability to rise again after extenuating circumstances was not only due to her support but also because of his competence.If Joshua was given more time, Grayson Corporation would grow to become a powerhouse. However, if she didn't hand over the authorization, it would be very difficult for the company to survive this challenge.Natasha quietly supported the company for three years behind Joshua's back. She knew very well that Blenoxane occupied the lion's share of Grayson Corporation's sales in the market. If Blenoxane was taken away and the company di

Compared to angering the president, this scary building was nothing Ben couldn't handle.A call from Matt came just at the right time. Joshua picked up the call, and Matt said, "This is Zack's specially designed laboratory. He built it in such a remote place, so no one would disturb Professor Nancy. It's impossible for you to waltz in just like that.""Nevertheless, I handled everything for you." Matt's voice sounded smug. He continued, "Go in through the side entrance. I bribed the security guards over there. The security at the main entrance is impenetrable.""Noted." Joshua glanced at the small side entrance and hung up the call. There was only one guard standing at the side entrance."Wait over here." Joshua walked toward the side door.Ben softly affirmed and watched his retreating figure in silence. Seeing someone approach, the security guard instinctively picked up the gun at his waist, staring alertly at Joshua.Joshua's expression was calm and composed. His gaze swept

A pharmaceutical prodigy like Professor Nancy definitely deserved to be treated with respect. Showing up unannounced like this was not really proper… However, he also had no other choice.He hoped to discuss things with Professor Nancy. No matter how high her price was, Grayson Corporation would accept it as long as she gave them the authorization.Joshua stood at the door of the laboratory. He drew back his outstretched hand. After hesitating for a while, he gave the door two light knocks.No one answered him.His eyebrows furrowed lightly. He knocked on the door again. There was still no answer.Joshua's eyebrows knitted together tightly as confusion flashed across his gaze. He peeked into the window. The equipment in the room was definitely running.His eyes darkened as he pushed open the door.There was not a single soul in this big laboratory.How could it be?Joshua was so sure that Professor Nancy was inside one of these rooms. However, how could there be no one? Did

It would only bring her pain to explain herself to someone who didn't trust her.Seeing that Natasha wouldn't say a word, Joshua spoke first, "You don't want to divorce, but you act as if you do. You fool around with me by playing hard to get. Now I'm meeting you here, but why are you still pretending?"Clearly, Natasha followed him all the way to the laboratory, but now she was acting innocent. Did she take him for a fool?Natasha blinked in bewilderment. When did she act as if she didn't want to divorce?Joshua looked at Natasha, who was blinking with an innocent expression. From his point of view, Natasha looked pure and innocent, just like Natalie.He remembered the day the Graysons had a banquet. When he walked out of his room, Natasha was standing outside in a white dress and simple makeup.She looked so much like Natalie.Disgust emanated from his gaze. Was she copying Natalie on purpose?Natasha didn't want to deal with Joshua here. She calmed herself down and said, "Wh
