Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 19
The veins popped out on his forehead. He thought of calling Natasha at once, but he stopped himself in time.Natasha loved him so much that she kept using all the tricks in the book to get him to stay with her. Of course, she wouldn't reply to his text if he mentioned that it was about the divorce. She probably wanted to drag it out for as long as she could.Thinking about this, he managed to calm himself down. He then sent her another text. "I'll be at Grayson Villa."He would generously take a step back and allow her to see him for one last time before the divorce.Meanwhile, Natasha was reading a research article when she heard her phone vibrating for the second time. She stared at the five words Joshua had sent her and felt even more puzzled.What on earth was going on in that bastard's head? Hadn't he been talking about the divorce papers in his first text? What was the point of telling her he would be at the villa now? How did that have anything to do with her?Natasha di

Joshua had been waiting for Natasha at Grayson Villa for hours, but she hadn't shown up. In a fit of rage, he had his secretary search for Natasha's home address and then rushed over to Imperial Heights in anger.If she refused to face the reality of their divorce, then he was going to personally deliver it to her. There was no use trying to run away from it."How did you find out where I live?" Natasha asked curiously. However, she regretted asking him that question almost immediately after. Someone as powerful as Joshua could readily have any information he wanted at the snap of his fingers, especially within Oceanville.Still, wasn't he worried that Natalie would misunderstand his relationship with her if he came over to her house in the dead of night? To be honest, Natasha had had it up to here with Natalie's childish and petty antics."Give the divorce papers to her," Joshua said, handing the stack of documents to his bodyguard without even looking at Natasha."Don't you th

"Are you sure that this is from Joshua?" Natasha asked, her eyes twitching slightly.Natasha was so amused at what Natalie was doing that she couldn't help but laugh. She thought that Joshua had been stingy enough. Who knew that Natalie would be even worse than him?"Of course it's from him," Natalie answered without batting an eye. It didn't look like she was lying at all."You can't be thinking that the Graysons would still give you a huge sum of money after you lived with them for three years and gave nothing in return, right?" Natalie scoffed. The disdain was plain in her eyes as she looked at Natasha."I never said anything about the money. You, on the other hand, have never stopped bringing it up. Just how poor and needy are you?" Natasha asked, blinking slowly at her. She then looked at the dress Natalie was wearing. Chanel. Not bad. But it was an obsolete design from a year ago.However, Natalie didn't seem to notice Natasha's eyes on her. "Don't you dare change the su

Recalling her last experience, Natasha swerved and neatly avoided Natalie's outstretched hand as soon as she saw the latter make a move. Then, she said faintly, "I have cameras installed at the entrance of my house."She guessed Natalie hadn't learned her lesson the last time.Natalie panicked and looked up. She saw the cameras mounted on the wall and hurriedly retracted her hand."Just you wait!"She wasn't going to let Natasha get away with taking anything from the Graysons!"Let's go back now," Natalie said, turning on her heels and marching away in anger. The bodyguard hurried after her, umbrella still in hand."Be my guest and see yourself out," Natasha replied as Natalie got into the car.With that, she turned to go back into her house. However, her eyes fell on the divorce agreement that Natalie had left on the ground. Natasha raised an eyebrow and bent down to pick it up. Then, she tossed it onto the counter inside her house near the entrance. It seemed that Natali

Natasha went down the passage and entered the VIP lounge. It was luxuriously decorated and brightly lit by the chandeliers dangling from the ceiling. Everyone there was busy catching up and discussing things with one another.She removed her sunglasses and picked up a glass of champagne from a waiter passing by. Then, she went into a corner and sat down."I heard that a medical professor from Radiance Biomed is coming. But why don't I see them anywhere yet?""Someone from Radiance is coming? I heard that their drug research paused at the clinical stage the last time. We haven't heard a peep from them since then."Someone next to the man who had spoken nudged him on the shoulder. He said, "If Radiance hasn't been progressing much with their research, what about these smaller drug companies? None of their newer drugs have been making waves in the industry."Natasha heard this and raised her eyebrow in curiosity. She said nothing as she continued eavesdropping on their conversation

Joshua's sharp gaze swept across the room in the direction Sean had pointed at, where Natasha was. "Oh? Did you see where the person went?"He could only vaguely make out a woman with a nice figure sitting in the corner. The lighting was dim, so he didn't manage to catch sight of her face.Joshua was just too lazy to take a better look at her. He shifted his gaze subconsciously. That woman couldn't possibly be the professor from Radiance."Sorry, I guess my age caught up with me. I didn't notice who the person was. I only saw the invitation card," Sean said apologetically, also looking away from the corner."By the way, how is your company's new drug research going?" Sean asked Joshua, changing the topic.Their voices gradually grew farther and farther away. Natasha put her glass of champagne down and slowly rose to her feet. She then headed toward the back exit.It wouldn't do for her to stay on in case she got caught by Joshua.She decided to call it a night. It was a disappoi

The policeman answered, "Good evening, miss. My name is Thomas Shaw. You can call me Officer Shaw."Natasha nodded and smiled at him. "How do you do, Officer Shaw?""We would just like to get a statement from you. Please walk us through what happened."Natasha nodded with a calm look in her eyes.When Thomas saw how calm and collected Natasha was, he became even more doubtful about the accusation that Natasha had stolen the Graysons' diamond ring. However, he still needed to follow the standard procedure."Please follow me."Natasha followed Thomas into the interrogation room. Natalie's voice could be heard from outside. "Officer Shaw, you must investigate her properly. The ring she stole from the Graysons is very important to them!"The ring she stole from the Graysons?Natasha couldn't help it as a mocking smile appeared on her lips. So Natalie was accusing her of stealing the Graysons' precious diamond ring, wasn't she?Natasha gracefully sat down as Thomas picked up his

Natalie looked at Natasha with a mocking look in her eyes. "I think you should worry about yourself first. There's no need to bring me into the picture."Well, Natasha had tried. She had just wanted to remind Natalie that what she was doing was also risky behavior on her part. But since Natalie refused to listen, she had nothing else to say."Officer Shaw, since you've taken my statement, am I free to leave now?""According to the law, you may, Ms. Sullivan," Thomas answered.Hearing this, Natasha picked up her purse and walked out of the police station."Wait—"Natalie rushed out of the station in a hurry, but all she saw was Natasha's retreating silhouette."Officer Shaw! How could you let her leave like that? She's the prime suspect in the theft of a 100-million-dollar ring! How could you let her go?" Natalie exclaimed, turning around to face Thomas when she realized that she couldn't catch up with Natasha.She wanted Natasha to be jailed as soon as possible!"Ms. Lovelace,
