All Chapters of Who's the Substitute Now?: Chapter 431 - Chapter 440

Lorelei knew Natalie was putting on a front even though she seemed fragile. Still, Lorelei couldn't bring herself to scold Natalie or ask her to leave because of the injuries she was suffering from."Let's tend to the wounds first," Lorelei said helplessly before retreating upstairs to escape her presence.Carly, who was impatient by nature, couldn't sit still when she heard Natalie claim her injuries had been an accident. She exclaimed, "Accident? You were abducted!"Joshua turned and interrupted with a grave look on his face. "Say that again. Did you just say abducted?""Yes, Natalie was taken to an abandoned factory. Those bruises on her were caused by those thugs," Carly said worriedly. "Why would you be so foolish as to keep something this serious to yourself?"Had Carly been through such an ordeal, she would have wanted everyone to know—especially her father so she could extort some money from him.Natalie waved urgently behind Joshua as a signal for Carly to stop talking.

"Why do you suddenly want to attend this public event?" Daniel was puzzled.Austin remained silent on the other end of the line."When will the pharmaceutical conference take place?" Daniel asked again."Very soon," Austin answered. However, instead of specifying the time, he merely provided a vague answer. "I need you to contact the organizers."He had dedicated numerous years to researching herbal medicine in Herb Valley and seldom ventured beyond its confines.It was only when particularly rare diseases, defied treatment by anyone else, surfaced that he would emerge from the valley. However, such occasions were exceedingly scarce.Given his prolonged seclusion in the valley, Austin harbored an aversion to interacting with unfamiliar individuals. Any affairs necessitating social engagement were overseen by his sons.Daniel nodded in agreement. "Sure thing, I'll handle it. Where exactly is this pharmaceutical conference taking place? Do you need me to pick you up?""It'll take

"In my opinion, there will definitely be a lot of people vying to attend this pharmaceutical conference. So, getting an invitation is bound to be difficult."As Joshua listened to that, he rapped his knuckles on the table.His expression turned from excited to serious, and the atmosphere grew tense.Matt sighed and sincerely said, "I tried to help you get an invitation, but I don't stand a chance. The organizers are incredibly strict, and important figures from Topola have likely already reserved their spots."So, I would suggest you take action while most people haven't heard the news yet. Your chances of getting an invitation will be higher that way."Joshua lifted his hands from the table. "Alright."Hearing the heaviness in his tone, Matt reassured him, saying, "It's okay. Mr. Grayson Senior will be fine."After saying that, he seemed to remember something. "It's not a big deal if we can't manage to get the invitation to the pharmaceutical conference. We'll have other opport

Natalie stood still, watching as the secretary entered the office carrying a stack of files.Not even a minute passed before the sound of papers scattering on the ground echoed from inside. Soon after, the secretary emerged from the office, disheveled and flustered.Seeing the state of the secretary, Natalie didn't need to guess to know how scary Joshua was behaving at the moment. She decided it was best not to provoke him further.Joshua was already not fond of her, and at this particular moment, she knew there was little to gain by crossing his path.Without a second thought, she decided to grab the lunch box and head back.However, halfway through, she changed her mind.In the office, Joshua was leaning back on his chair. Files were scattered all around him, and his brows were furrowed in deep concentration.Terry looked at the mess on the floor but didn't dare to clean it up."Mr. Grayson, the Zahn family crossed the line today," Terry exclaimed. "I've heard the Zahn family

"I'm looking for Natasha Sullivan." His face was expressionless, and his voice devoid of any emotion. He seemed rather detached."May I have your name, sir? I'll inform her of your arrival.""I'm Mr. Grayson.""Alright. Ms. Sullivan is in the study. I'll inform her of your arrival. Please wait," Amy replied before hurrying off to inform Natasha."Thank you," the man responded courteously.Standing quietly at the door, Joshua occasionally glanced toward the room. He remembered there wasn't a housekeeper present the last time he visited. Why was there one now?Although Joshua didn't know much about Natasha's personality, he felt he had some understanding of her daily habits after three years of acquaintance.Natasha was very independent and wouldn't allow others to do things for her. When she stayed with the Grayson family, it was often Ella who voluntarily assisted her with chores.Moreover, Natasha was adept at cooking, and Lorelei enjoyed her home-cooked meals. So, why would s
