All Chapters of Who's the Substitute Now?: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Natasha arched an eyebrow. "Me? Stubborn?" She swallowed the rest of her words and then chuckled lightly.She had almost forgotten the image she projected in front of Joshua. As an orphan who lived off the Grayson family, she couldn't have possibly visited or qualified to visit Gwen."Yes, I'm being stubborn. However, as an orphan, I'm also unworthy of tasting Gwen's dishes. So, are you saying it or not? If not, I'm leaving."With that, she grabbed her bag from the side and got up to leave.She had no interest in having a meal with Joshua. Looking at Joshua's face, which was so similar to Jacob's, she couldn't even bring herself to eat.On the contrary, it only deepened her feelings of grief and misery.Joshua sat at the table. His eyes were calm and devoid of emotion. He didn't even look at her.It was as if he didn't care about her leaving at all. He even calmly picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee.Natasha walked to the door without a second thought and pulled open the

Joshua raised his eyebrows slightly. He listened to her words and glanced casually at Natalie, who was snuggling up to him. "Natalie, stop messing around. Sit properly.""I'm not messing around. I'm telling the truth." Natalie still nestled gently against Joshua.She pouted slightly, seeming a little unhappy. "As you know, the last time was an accident. I can assure you that it won't be fake this time."The sight of Natalie cuddling Joshua made Natasha instantly lose her appetite. She felt disgusted instead of hungry. Hence, she quietly set down her knife and fork. Joshua ignored Natalie's words as he frowned. "I said sit properly." His tone unwittingly implied a position of authority that did not tolerate contradiction.In fact, Joshua saw today's invitation to Natasha as a matter of strict business. Since it was a matter of business, it had to be done properly.He had always kept his public and private matters separate, and to him, Natalie's behavior was inappropriate, both lo

"That's good." Natasha looked deeply at Natalie, nodded, and stood up.Given the Grayson family's status, a birthday gift would be worth at least several million.If Natalie truly was willing to spend that money, it might be considered somewhat sincere. However, if she only did it to save face, that would be a different story. Seeing that Natasha was already prepared to leave, Natalie felt somewhat reluctant."Aren't you preparing anything for Mr. Grayson Senior's 70th birthday?" She couldn't bear spending money on her own!Natasha raised an eyebrow. She blinked and glanced around. "Are you talking about me?""Yes. Besides you, who else is there? Stop pretending." Natalie's eyes widened."I'm a penniless orphan. How can I afford a birthday gift?" Natasha smiled ambiguously. Joshua's brows furrowed, and his tone was icy. "Natalie, don't make things difficult for Natasha. She's no longer part of the Grayson family. There's no need for her to buy my grandpa a birthday gift."Na

"Can't be bothered with me?" Joshua repeated in a low voice. His gaze was steely and dark like a thunderstorm, and as cold as one, too."Exactly," Natalie said with a nod. "She even used to call me a gold digger, but look at her now! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black."Since I'm joining the Grayson family soon, I've been following all of the necessary traditions. I've been keeping track of my spending and ensuring I'm not too frivolous."Look at this Chanel jacket. I wouldn't even dare to dream about buying it, but she wore it so casually. Who knows what tycoon she's managed to get into bed with?" Natalie finished, looking curious.Her words managed to kill two birds with one stone. First, she fed into the idea of Natasha sleeping with other men, and then, she subtly uplifted herself and her wise money-spending habits.Joshua mindlessly toyed with his mug as his expression remained cold and stoic. It felt like anyone who went near him would be turned into ice.As Natali

"Yes. If you want reliable bodyguards, your best choice will be from the Zales family."Zack's gaze was determined as he continued, "The Zales are known for being involved in some gang matters. Oceanville can kind of be considered their territory.""If they really are as famous as you say, why haven't I ever heard about them?" Natasha said with a frown.She had never heard about the Zales family before.Zack smirked and said teasingly, "All you cared about was Joshua! I bet if he wanted a star, you'd find a way to give it to him."Of course you wouldn't care about that stuff. I'd find it weird if you actually knew about them."Even though he hadn't seen Natasha in three years, the Grayson family's business had long since spread around among the rich families.Natasha's feelings and everything she had done for Joshua had become a hot conversation topic for rich families to gossip about and laugh at over coffee and desserts.He had tried to shut them up once, but it hadn't gotten
