Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 96
However, Natasha's back was unmistakably identical to the photo. Could Natasha be Nancy?The thought crossed Joshua's mind but was quickly dismissed. Natasha was just an orphan. She couldn't possibly be a researcher in this lab, let alone Nancy.Natasha pursed her lips. Her tone was calm as she said, "I'm conducting an experiment."Being caught by Joshua while conducting an experiment, any other lies would only raise more suspicion, given his character. She had no choice but to be honest.She hadn't even picked up the herbs scattered on the ground.Joshua was filled with disbelief. "You're conducting an experiment?"As he finished speaking, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. He continued, "You'd better tell the truth."This time, he wouldn't forgive her again.Instead of replying, Natasha stooped to pick up the scattered herbs. They were all rare and valuable ones. It was such a waste to drop it on the ground.She quietly picked up the herbs one by one while Joshua pressed

Joshua continued, "So you don't need to force yourself to do experiments here. It won't benefit you or Grayson Corp."His voice was calm. He was reminding Natasha and drawing a line between them.Natasha lifted her eyes, forcing a stiff smile.She didn't bother to explain, nor did she see the need to. If Joshua misunderstood her, it would prevent her identity from being exposed. She wouldn't lose anything. So why not go along with it?In Joshua's eyes, Natasha's stiff smile seemed bitter and awkward, making her appear somewhat pitiful.However, Joshua showed no signs of being moved."Leave now."These words were devoid of any warmth.Natasha pursed her lips. In her mind, she was thinking about her unfinished experiments, but given the current situation...Before she could react, Joshua had already reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her down the stairs.He didn't give Natasha any choice at all, clearly not wanting her to stay in this research building for a moment long

Natasha loved Joshua too much. Unfortunately, Joshua loved Natalie. She had devoted her whole heart to the wrong person."Why aren't you driving?" Joshua's voice was cold.Ben snapped out of his thoughts. "Sorry."Even though he was now on Natalie's side, seeing Natasha standing at the door with a complicated expression, he couldn't help but pity her.Ben glanced at Joshua's darkened face and gathered his courage. "Mr. Grayson, why is Ms. Sullivan here?"He wondered if he could also bring Natasha along.Sitting in the car, Joshua had a complicated expression. He pondered why he hadn't seen Nancy two consecutive times.What was the problem?Hearing Ben's question, he suddenly had doubts in his mind.How did Natasha get into the laboratory before him? How did an orphan like her get there?She had no connections and no family background. It was impossible for her to have access to the laboratory like he did.Could Natasha have some kind of secret?Joshua narrowed his eyes.No

Frowning, Joshua sat in the car with a gloomy face as if burdened by worries. His already cold face, coupled with his darkened expression, made him even more unapproachable.It was obvious that his mood was exceptionally poor after not finding Nancy two consecutive times.Ben drove the car on tenterhooks, afraid to inadvertently provoke Joshua with any action.A sudden ringing of a phone broke the silence in the car, sounding jarringly out of place.Hearing the phone ring in such a somber atmosphere, Ben couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine. He silently mourned for the unfortunate caller.Joshua answered the phone."Josh, where are you? I haven't seen you for days," Natalie said in a sweet voice.Ben instantly felt at ease when he heard Natalie's voice on the other end of the line. There wouldn't be a problem, then.He had never seen Joshua lose his temper with Natalie. Perhaps she could improve Joshua's mood, sparing him from Joshua's wrath.Joshua's voice remai

With these thoughts in mind, Natalie could almost envision the grand scene of her marrying into the Grayson family.Hearing this, Joshua looked out the car window at the night scenery. His expression remained unchanged. "Come to the office tomorrow. It's already late today."He thought Natalie was just coming to deliver some cakes and snacks she made herself to help him relax.He didn't expect her to bring any surprises that could help Grayson Corp. However, she was doing it to make him feel better.Furthermore, he had promised Philip to temporarily hold off on divorcing Natasha for the sake of his president position at Grayson Corp. He felt guilty about it, so he didn't want to offend Natalie's kindness and make her sad.After pondering for a moment, Natalie agreed and said with concern, "Alright, see you tomorrow. Josh, don't overwork yourself, or I'll be very worried about you.""Okay." His voice was indifferent. After that, he hung up the phone.When the call ended, Ben look

Natalie shot an annoyed look at the receptionist, who was trying a bit too hard to be friendly. Ignoring her, Natalie toyed with the package in her hands.Her usually innocent charm was nowhere to be found, and her gaze turned sullen. On the sidelines, the receptionist stood awkwardly.The delivery man tried to address Natalie, "Miss—"With a tone that brooked no argument, the receptionist interrupted, "She's Mr. Grayson's girlfriend. Just give her the package."The delivery man eyed Natalie with uncertainty."The contents are valuable. Are you sure she's Mr. Grayson's girlfriend? What if something goes wrong?" he questioned skeptically.Natalie's expression shifted. At first, she hesitated to open the package, but then her curiosity got the better of her. She wanted to see the valuable item Natasha had sent.Looking at the receptionist, Natalie requested, "Give me a cutter."However, the receptionist paused after taking in the delivery man's caution. She feared the consequence

Ben grabbed the package from the delivery man. The delivery man knew Ben because he had taken packages for Grayson Corporation's president before. It was at that moment the delivery guy finally believed that Natalie was, in fact, the president's girlfriend.Natalie turned down the package with a condescending look. "I don't need it anymore."Ben swiftly pulled back his hand. "Don't need it anymore?" he muttered, unsure if Natalie was upset.She stayed silent and headed for the elevator. Ben quickly trailed behind while still holding the package.Soon, they reached Joshua's office. Natalie went in without saying anything, and Ben did the same.After placing the package at Joshua's desk, Ben made a quick exit. He didn't want to stick around and get caught up in Joshua's personal affairs.Startled by the sounds, Joshua briefly looked up at Natalie before lowering his head to resume reviewing the documents. Natalie sat silently on the couch across the desk, her expression icy cold.

Even though Joshua held the authorization letter, he didn't feel happy or relieved. He looked confused with his eyebrows wrinkled and eyes squinted.Remembering Ron's past fake authorization, Joshua closely examined Natasha's document. It had an anti-counterfeit security label. Professor Nancy's signature inside also seemed genuine, with no signs of being forged.Joshua couldn't unravel the mysteries Natasha held. Not only could she get into the research building, but she also had a way to secure a letter of authorization.As he scrutinized the document, memories of his unexpected run-ins with Natasha replayed in his mind.The more he pondered, the more he sensed that something was off. Could it be that Natasha had an extraordinary identity?"Josh, can I take a look?" A sweet voice interrupted Joshua's thoughts.Natalie had planned to playfully express her jealousy over Natasha's gift delivery. She hoped this would not only deepen her connection with Joshua but also provide an op

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

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
