Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 23
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,

Mason listened to everything Natalie told him. By the time she was finished, he felt less anxious than before. This was an easy case, after all."It would be even better if you could settle the case by today," Natalie added.When she had found out that Joshua was going to take her to the apartment instead of Grayson Villa, she knew that he didn't want Lorelei to know about her returning to the country.But Natalie was impatient. She didn't know how long Joshua would take to convince his mother about her. She couldn't wait any longer!She planned to present Natasha's situation before Lorelei straightaway, at the risk of infuriating Joshua. Maybe then Lorelei wouldn't side with Natasha anymore after learning about the truth!Once Lorelei was utterly disappointed in Natasha, Natalie could then glide in effortlessly to replace Natasha in the family. It was a win-win situation!Natalie had everything planned out in her head."Don't worry, miss. I will send someone to the house to inv

The conference was going to last until late at night. Joshua wouldn't be home anytime soon. That was one of the reasons why Natasha had been willing to return to Grayson Villa now.She inhaled deeply before entering the place.Lorelei was knitting in the living room when she looked up and suddenly caught sight of Natasha. At first, Lorelei thought that she was mistaken. She rubbed her eyes and realized that it was indeed Natasha!"Tasha? You're back? Are you here to visit me or Josh?"Lorelei got up and tugged Natasha toward her as soon as she recognized her. "Josh hasn't come home for a long time. I haven't seen him much lately, either. I'll give him a call and tell him to come home now."She then took out her phone to make the call. But Natasha immediately stopped her and said, "Lorelei, please don't. I'm not here to see him."Natasha then looked around the place. Neither Natalie nor the police were there. Were they still on their way?"Ella, Tasha's back. Bring out some of he

Judging from the look in Lorelei's eyes, it was obvious that she knew who Natalie was. But why did she look so shocked?Hadn't Joshua told his mother anything about Natalie's return to the country? Why not?Didn't he want to marry Natalie? He had to tell his mother at some point, right? Why would he keep Natalie a secret from Lorelei? Was there something else he was concerned about?Despite all the questions running through her head, Natasha didn't pursue the topic any further. She lowered her gaze and said nothing. She didn't want to know anything about it. She also didn't want to get involved in the Graysons family's matters anymore."Tasha, do you know about Natalie?" Lorelei asked with some difficulty. There was a look of panic in her eyes.Natasha nodded slightly.Lorelei was utterly shocked. So, that was why Natasha had insisted on divorcing Joshua. It was because Natalie had returned for some god-forsaken reason!And to think that the woman had kept such a high profile
Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 30
Back then, the president of Grayson Corp, William Grayson, and his son, Jacob, had been on their way to a meeting when they had been involved in a fatal accident. Lorelei had broken down after hearing about it, and her mental state had never been the same after that.As soon as word of Grayson Corp's president's passing had gotten out, the company's stock price had plummeted. It had caused widespread panic among the shareholders. It had been somewhat similar to a stock market crash.Everyone had said that Grayson Corporation was done for and that it would never regain its former status and glory. Their business partners at the time had betrayed them, one by one, as Grayson Corp's rivals surpassed it and forced it into a corner.Back then, if anyone brought up Grayson Corporation, they would be immediately told to shut up.That was when Natalie had decided to leave.Lorelei didn't want to think about the past. Whenever she did, it would bring back unpleasant memories, and it af
