Chapter 151

Natasha walked out of the building in confusion. Should she ask Ryan about it? What if it wasn't him?If she asked him, she would expose the fact that she'd gone to the Zales' company. What would she say if Ryan asked her what she was doing there?Natasha's eyelid twitched. If Ryan asked about it, she wouldn't be able to lie to him, which meant she would have to come clean about who she really was.She continued to walk on the beach slowly in deep thought. Before she realized it, she had arrived at the spot where she parked her car. With a sigh, she opened the door and got in.She began to drive past the seemingly endless expanse of ocean. She drove far along the coast while the Zales' company building faded into the distance, just like her busy thoughts.……The next day, faint sunbeams from the early sunrise shone weakly into the bedroom.Due to her recent dejected mood, Natasha failed to get a good night's rest. She woke up early that day, almost at the exact same time the s

"She can't stay in this condition for too long," Natasha explained."Okay," Ella replied. However, after a brief moment, she came back to the phone and stammered, "M-Madam won't pick up the phone. I passed it to her, but she pushed it away."Natasha frowned and narrowed her eyes. Why wasn't Lorelei willing to pick up? Natasha felt her heart skip a beat."What happened which made Lorelei act this way? Did something trigger it?" Her car sped up as she drove while staying on the call. Did Natalie run off to the Graysons' mansion to piss Lorelei off again?"I'm not too sure either," Ella said urgently. She was clearly panicking because of the sudden situation.Natasha understood that Ella wouldn't be able to answer any of her questions in such a panicked state. She said calmly and reassuringly, "I'll be there right away. Don't worry."Natasha reached the Graysons' mansion in just a few minutes.She screeched to a halt and ran into the Grayson mansion, beginning to jog upstairs.She

"I'm busy. I can't join today," Natasha said in a tone as cold as her expression."Tasha, please just join this party. Do it for me, alright?" Lorelei continued to plead.She knew very well that Natasha had only said that so she wouldn't have to attend the party.Natasha stayed quiet and maintained her cold demeanor. She was clearly turning down Lorelei's offer.Lorelei was sitting up on the bed and needed to use an arm to support herself so that she could move to the bedside. She was completely conscious, but her physical condition seemed to be declining.She looked up directly at Natasha and repeated her request, only this time, her voice was much weaker. "Tasha, please do it for me."Natasha didn't reply.She simply stared at Lorelei.She felt as though Lorelei was in much worse shape than before. Her usually rosy lips were now pale, and her narrow face was almost bony and drained of color. She looked truly pitiful.Silently, Natasha reminded herself to tell Ella to make so

Natasha frowned. She looked at Lorelei who was on the verge of getting on her knees to beg and felt her heart soften. "Okay, okay. I'll join. Please sit down."Lorelei froze for a second before smiling brightly. "Tasha, are you really going to join?"Natasha purposely kept a somber expression. "Forget it. I'm not joining anymore.""No, wait! I'm glad you want to join!" Lorelei's smile widened, and even her beaten-down demeanorseemed to change for the better. Then, she called out to Ella, "Ella, bring Tasha something to eat!"Let me think about this. You didn't bring any clothes, so what are you going to wear tonight?" Lorelei collected herself and began to think about it seriously. "I'll get someone to send some clothes over for you to pick from!"Natasha shook her head. "There's no need for that. I'll ask someone to send something over.""How could I have you do that? You're just a young lady, and it's not easy to make a living in today's society. How could I make you waste mon

Natalie walked into the ballroom slowly while holding onto Joshua's arm with a smile that she couldn't suppress.Everyone at the party turned to stare at the intimate couple.Natalie noticed the stares of everyone around her. There was shock, confusion, envy, and many other strange emotions that she couldn't understand.She couldn't help but feel nervous under the gaze of so many strangers.Her eyelashes, which were long and voluminous after applying many careful coats of mascara, fluttered rapidly as she couldn't stop blinking from nerves. She also tightened her grip on Joshua's arm.Tristan noticed Natalie's nerves and whispered, "Don't be nervous."Natalie nodded and managed to force a smile."The woman standing next to Mr. Grayson isn't his wife, is it? What's going on? Did they get a divorce? Did he finally dump that burden of a wife?" someone in the crowd whispered. The crowd around them began to gossip fervently among themselves as they speculated about the nature of Jo

Chapter 156

Lydia's mind immediately raced to the prominent Lovelace family in Oceanville, but she couldn't recall anyone named Natalie. Her face showed mixed emotions as she spoke with a probing tone. "I haven't seen you in Oceanville before." It wasn't certain if Natalie had sensed Lydia's suspicions or if she was deliberately disclosing her identity. She blinked her eyes and said, "I've only been in Oceanville for a short period, so it's normal that you haven't seen me around." After a brief pause, she added, "I've just returned from abroad. Before going abroad, I stayed with the Sullivan family in Topola and never visited Oceanville."Lydia's heart skipped a beat upon hearing that. "You're from the Sullivan family in Topola? The esteemed pharmaceutical lineage?" Natalie lowered her head and gave a faint smile, appearing humble. "The Sullivan family can't quite reach the level of a pharmaceutical lineage. They're just more familiar with pharmaceuticals through generations of expertise.

"Oh, so it's her!" Xenia Lawson looked surprised. She gently covered her mouth as if she had just found out the truth.She looked at Natasha with a disdainful expression and said, "Then why is she still shamelessly attending the banquet? She was kicked out by the Grayson family and yet she still has the nerve to come. How shameless." Although she didn't say these words directly to Natasha, she was obviously referring to her. Hearing that, Lydia chuckled, "Who knows? Some people just have thick skin, and there's nothing you can do about it. If she wasn't so thick-skinned, how could she become Mrs. Grayson? Don't you think so?""Indeed. In this world, only those with thick skin can get everything they want." Xenia ran her hand through her hair. "Unfortunately, my family has always taught me to be gracious and elegant. They won't allow me to do such embarrassing things. Otherwise, I'd definitely learn how to be as thick-skinned as her."Natasha looked up and saw the two people fixi

"Natasha, where are you going?" Natalie shot her a sideways glance. Natasha narrowed her eyes as she looked at the person. She was surprised to find it was Natalie again.Lydia and Xenia saw Natalie approaching and quickly moved to stand beside her, exclaiming, "Natalie, you're here!"Natasha instantly understood why these two had inexplicably come to humiliate her. It turned out it to be Natalie's doing! She couldn't help but sneer. She had tried to avoid Natalie as much as possible, but the latter still came to provoke her."Do you think this is fun?" Natasha questioned."Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Natalie replied with hostility. Her eyes were filled with disdain. Her condescending demeanor made it seem like she was looking down on a mere ant. She added, "Natasha, do you think this is fun? Don't you feel embarrassed chasing after Josh like this?""Exactly! We were just about to criticize you outright. Yet, here you are, standing as if you have done no wrong. You truly

Chapter 159

Natasha's face remained calm. She knew she couldn't defend herself. She had indeed pushed Natalie just now. Even if she tried to explain, Lydia and Xenia who were standing nearby would likely take Natalie's side. They might even lie and insist she had intentionally pushed Natalie. In that case, she couldn't argue back.Just as Natasha had expected, before she could say anything, Xenia eagerly interjected, "Natasha, not only are you jealous, but you're also so ruthless to push Natalie! If I hadn't stopped you, Natalie would have been injured!"She deliberately spoke loudly as she feared the others around might not hear her.The onlookers formed a circle and their murmurs grew louder, just as Natalie had anticipated. Their gazes at Natasha held no pretense of respect.Natasha didn't bother to defend herself. She simply walked over and said, "My dear, get up quickly. Don't lie on the ground. Is this how you want to be seen, lying on the floor in your dress? It's not good for your im

Chapter 160

Natalie remained silent. The people around Natalie saw that she wasn't speaking and were momentarily confused.Lydia obviously didn't believe it. She asked, "Natalie, is what Natasha said true?"Natalie secretly rolled her eyes in disbelief. She didn't expect Lydia to be so silly. Her silence was an implicit acknowledgment. However, this idiot had to ask her again, forcing her to confess.Natalie hesitated and was unsure of what to say. She pursed her lips. Just as she was about to speak and cover up the situation, a male voice suddenly sounded."What are you all gathered here for?" Joshua's gaze was cold.The people surrounding them saw Joshua approaching and immediately made way for him.Joshua walked to the center of the crowd and saw Natasha standing there. He narrowed his eyes. "How did you manage to get into the banquet?" His eyes were filled with deep disgust.Natasha didn't answer and completely ignored Joshua.Observing Natasha's reaction, Joshua instantly grew furious
