Chapter 6

Author: Cantaloupe
Natalie knew Joshua had already gotten married, and his wife, Natasha, had been by his side for the past three years. It was just that Natalie couldn't ask about it if Joshua didn't bring it up.

She had no choice but to find out more from the maids. She wanted to see how similar she and Natasha looked.

Gina didn't dare to offend the love of Joshua's life. She hurriedly said, "Mrs. Grayson doesn't usually take photos. There's nothing to worry about, though. She looks like you but isn't as pretty as you are."

She smiled sycophantically. She figured her position in the Grayson family would be stronger if she could get into Natalie's good books.

Natalie smiled shyly at Gina's words, but the latter could tell the former loved her flattery.

It made sense. How could a substitute compare to the real deal?

Natalie supposed Natasha couldn't be ugly if the latter looked like her. She was a beauty, after all.

"Well, I guess Ms. Sullivan's also gorgeous." Natalie "generously" accepted Gina's compliment. "I've just returned from abroad, and there are some things that this apartment is missing. Why don't you take me shopping tomorrow?

"Also, could you throw this shawl away?" Natalie blinked her innocent, clear eyes. But if one looked closely, one would see the disgust in them.

The following morning, Natalie was taken to a luxury goods store at a mall. She got out of the Rolls-Royce in a good mood.

Joshua had given her a hefty sum to spend. She wanted to use it to equip herself and the apartment well.

She'd long since wanted to head to this luxury goods store but couldn't bring herself to do it because of the exorbitant prices.

Before she entered the store, an exquisite, luxuriously dressed figure breezed past her.

The store clerks hurried to the woman when they saw her. "Welcome, Ms. Sullivan! We have plenty of new items now, and we're sure you'll find something you like."

Natasha nodded and started browsing the items nonchalantly. The store clerks followed her respectfully. None of them seemed to notice there was someone else standing at the entrance.

Natalie suppressed the rage that had surged at being ignored. Her eyes darkened as she scrutinized Natasha.

Who was it? Who could be affluent enough to have all the store clerks hover around her?

This was a luxury goods store owned by a globally-renowned designer. Customers who weren't A-grade members couldn't buy any of the things in the store. The store clerks wouldn't be so sycophantic even when faced with S-grade members.

Natalie took a closer look at Natasha. She scanned Natasha's face and realized it was familiar. It reminded Natalie of her own face!

A bold thought formed in her mind. She turned to Gina and asked, "Is that Ms. Sullivan?"

Gina had already seen Natasha. She couldn't blatantly lie to Natalie, so she nodded. "Yes, Ms. Lovelace. That is her."

Natalie narrowed her eyes. "Is she usually such a big spender?"

Didn't she care about the Grayson family's well-being?

Natasha and Joshua were about to divorce, and she would end up getting kicked out of the Grayson family. But she was still Joshua's wife at this moment.

Philip was gravely ill, yet Natasha wasn't at his bedside and caring for him. Instead, she was in a luxury goods store and spending as much as she wanted.

When Gina saw the odd look on Natalie's face, she said sycophantically, "Yes, she is. Mr. Grayson Senior always tells us not to splurge, but Ms. Sullivan never listens. Still, she's the lady of the household, and it's not up to us maids to say anything."

This infuriated Natalie even more. The fact that all those store clerks were hovering around Natasha made it clear that she'd spent tons here!

A substitute was frivolously spending the Grayson family's money—money that would be Natalie's in the future. This was equivalent to Natasha spending Natalie's money.

Natalie had to see how much of the Grayson family's money Natasha could spend in a day!

Natasha was in a good mood after buying several new releases from the luxury goods store. The next step in her plan was to check out the real estate. She'd heard from Zack the other day that the houses at Imperial Heights were pretty good, so she drove there from the mall.

Natalie sat in the Rolls-Royce and watched as Natasha drove past her in a Maybach. She gritted her teeth and forced out, "Follow her closely."

How dare Natasha drive such a good car!

The Rolls-Royce followed the Maybach and slowed down as the Maybach did. Natalie looked up to see Imperial Height's sales office.

She knew the houses here cost a fortune and almost blacked out from the shock.

    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
