Natalie's face twisted into a frown when she saw Natasha.Natasha saw how Natalie reacted, but she didn't react angrily as Natalie had done. Instead, she calmly raised her glass in a toast to Natalie from a distance.Her smile, which was accentuated by the light, was charming yet frivolous. It made Natalie's frown grow deeper.She wondered if Natasha was trying to provoke her, and anger bubbled up inside her.She gritted her teeth, ready to erupt, but then remembered they were in public. Besides, she needed to stay composed and hide her true nature since Carly was nearby.So, Natalie forced herself to look away from Natasha.Natasha noticed that Natalie's expression wasn't softening. It was getting worse. Natalie looked as if she could devour Natasha. Natasha blinked her eyes in resignation.Moments ago, her greeting to Natalie had been without any animosity. It seemed as if Natalie held a strong grudge against her, so much so that Natalie didn't even bother to pretend to be fri

Natalie smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry, I didn't notice."After regaining her composure, she swiftly tugged Carly along. "There's the head of a pharmaceutical company over there that I want to meet. Let's go check it out."Carly nodded. "Sure."Although Natalie seemed a bit strange, Carly decided not to ask about it. She figured everyone had their own private matters they preferred to keep to themselves.Natalie led Carly to the center of the hall. The central area was bustling with pharmaceutical companies showcasing the latest trends. Many people were gathered there, engaged in conversation.Holding Carly's arm, Natalie tried to navigate through the crowd. She was eager to catch a glimpse of the valuable medications on display. However, Carly didn't budge.Natalie turned to Carly and asked, "Is something wrong?"She wondered if Carly wasn't comfortable with her holding her hand, so she quickly let go."Sorry, I'll let go. Shall we still check out the medications? With this

Chapter 483

Natasha stood casually yet elegantly. Her eyes narrowed as she sipped her drink and enjoyed the taste of alcohol.She noticed Natalie and Carly hastily making their way out of her sight, and she observed them intently until they disappeared.Just as Natasha was about to set her glass down, a man named Brian Jeffords suddenly approached her."Excuse me, are you here by yourself?" Brian's voice was crisp and clear.Natasha met his deep, small eyes. He had a distinctive nose and an air of sophistication. He wore a white shirt and tie, without a suit jacket. She figured he might have taken it off somewhere."Do you need something?" Natasha asked with indifference. She didn't recognize him, and despite his attractiveness and apparent sophistication, she had no interest in engaging with him.Brian didn't seem to be bothered by her lack of interest. He smiled and pointed to the glass she held. "The wine you're enjoying is a 1997 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. It has a truly unique flavor.

"I…" Brian stammered. Natasha's captivating eyes made him nervously gulp and feel enraptured.As Natasha noticed his eyes glaze over, her interest and smile disappeared. She decided not to invest any more time in him. Swiftly, she grabbed her glass and left like a sudden gust of wind.Brian stood alone, still sensing the warmth of her breath lingering in his ears. It all seemed like a fleeting dream to him.Meanwhile, Natasha decided to escape the company of insensitive men and their clumsy advances by retreating to the spacious terrace on the second floor.After three glasses of wine, she felt tipsy and sought some fresh air away from the bustling hall.She entered the softly illuminated terrace under the moon's guidance. The place was surrounded by abundant greenery and a peaceful atmosphere, with no one else around. It felt like a different world from the hall.Leaning against the railing, Natasha felt contented as she breathed in the refreshing night air. The moon's gentle gl

Joshua couldn't take his eyes off Natasha's profile, frustrated that she was out of his control. He couldn't quite put his feelings into words, but the frustration lingered, and a flood of emotions washed over him.Natasha noticed him staring but ignored him. The cool night air brushed against her as she stood by the railing, sipping her drink alone.She wasn't keen on talking to him. She wished he would pick up on her silent cues and leave on his own, as this spot was her sanctuary.Yet, Joshua was oblivious to her signals. Being as proud as he was, he could never take hints. He gazed at her uninterested expression for what felt like an eternity.Natasha usually had an unworldly air about her that made her seem a little aloof, but today, she gave Joshua a different impression. She looked slightly flushed, which suggested she might have had a few too many to drink.Joshua's expression grew tense as he watched Natasha continue to drink. She took sip after sip until her glass was al

"What were you saying?" Natasha asked awkwardly. She wished the person before her was Jacob, not Joshua.Joshua held up the wine glass and shook it before her as he asked, "Did you space out?"Forcing a smile, Natasha replied, "Oh, I was just a little distracted by the breeze."Joshua stared at her. He knew she had been staring at him before she got distracted, but he didn't push any further."You still haven't answered me. How much have you been drinking to get this drunk?" Joshua asked.Natasha tried to grab the glass from his hand, but he was tall and easily held it out of her reach."Answer me," Joshua insisted.Natasha looked at the glass that was out of reach and silently pulled back her hand."How much?" Natasha repeated before she stretched out her fingers as she tried to remember. Yet, her memory wasn't very clear as she was a bit drunk."One, two, three…" Natasha did a finger count. "I can't remember."Joshua frowned at Natasha."I gave you an answer. Can you give

Chapter 487

Joshua noticed the confused look on Natasha's face but had a feeling that she was faking it. He asked, "Who do you think I'm talking about?"He held back his emotions, not wanting his words to be too harsh or embarrass Natasha."I have no idea who you're talking about," Natasha replied.She got even more confused. His words were so vague that she had no idea how to respond.She suggested, "There are plenty of people in the hall if you need to talk."Her comment struck a nerve with Joshua, and there was an instant change in his expression.Inside the hall, as Natasha had mentioned, guests mingled with smiles on their faces. Yet, Joshua felt like an outsider even though the atmosphere was cheerful.These guests were from Topola's respected families. They were full of pride and tended to look down on families from other towns.In Oceanville, Joshua wielded considerable power. He was a force to be reckoned with as he could easily overpower anyone who opposed the Graysons.However,

Natasha gently reminded him, "Even if you have an invitation to this conference, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to meet the Sullivan family's miracle worker whenever you please."Her words hit Joshua hard, though she didn't realize it. His expression hardened as he wondered if Natasha was mocking him for not deserving to stay in Topola.Anger simmered inside, but he forced himself to breathe deeply.It was ironic that he had just been sympathizing with Natasha in the belief that she was being mistreated, only to be mocked by her in the end.He realized how absurd this situation was and that she was playing him all along.Natasha seemed to be unfazed and showed no need for Joshua's sympathy. The thought of her being surrounded by men wherever she went made him sneer.Besides, Natasha's every word was like a condescending lecture as if she were one of Topola's upper crust.Joshua felt deeply humiliated. He suppressed his anger and asked with emphasis on every word, "Do y

Joshua gritted his teeth and smirked. "So, you finally admit to it, huh? What about the guy who's living with you? Just come clean rather than make excuses."Natasha found his aggressive demeanor amusing. She questioned, "Are you kidding? Why should I admit to something that never happened?"Is it a hobby of yours to beat false confessions out of people? Don't you find this ridiculous, Mr. Grayson?"She didn't bother to take her glass from his grasp. After saying her piece, she decided to leave on her own since Joshua showed no sign of leaving."Wait." Joshua's voice came from behind her. "Would you care to explain the leather shoes in the shoe rack at Imperial Heights, since you claim I'm accusing you?"Joshua was a tall man, and the moonlight cast a long shadow across the floor. He stood sternly in the eerie silence in anticipation of her answer.Natasha stopped in her tracks. Suddenly, there was a click in her mind.The shoes had to be Daniel's. Joshua must have seen them the

Chapter 490

Joshua felt uneasy as he watched Natasha walk away. He hadn't anticipated her refusal to explain anything. He hurried to catch up with her to ask why she wouldn't explain.Meanwhile, Natalie and Carly were seated somewhere across the terrace, each with a plate of delicate bunny-shaped cookies. Natalie had brought them over specifically for Carly."I brought you two plates because I thought one wouldn't be enough for you. Please, go ahead and enjoy them!" Natalie said as she placed the cookies in front of Carly.Carly's eyes lit up with a smile as she responded, "Thank you!"It's no trouble at all. Just enjoy them," Natalie said and smiled back as she was pleased to see Carly's happiness.Natalie watched Carly with a sincere gaze as she savored the cookies. After a few bites, Carly paused and offered, "Would you like to try some?"Natalie shook her head firmly and replied, "That's all right. These are just for you. Please, enjoy them."She couldn't help but remember the effort sh
