Semua Bab Who's the Substitute Now?: Bab 241 - Bab 250

Not long after he started eating, Ryan put his utensils down.He was still feeling down, and his heart was beating fast as if he was in crisis.He couldn't shake off his discomfort. Didn't Natasha tell Malcolm to contact him directly? Why did he still call Natasha directly as if Ryan didn't exist?Ryan was a little frustrated. He picked up the jug of water to pour himself a glass. Seeing that Natasha's glass was empty too, he took her cup and filled it.Around two hours later, Ryan drove them away after their meal.After thinking about it, Natasha decided to tell Ryan about what Malcolm had said. After all, she was only in charge of the project on paper. Ryan was the main force behind it."Joshua made a move against the Toussaint family.""What?" Ryan was stunned to hear Natasha suddenly say that.He quickly returned to his senses and asked, "So, the Toussaints' financial supply chain is disrupted because of Joshua?""Yes, so I'm going to discuss how to solve this with the Tou

"No, I'm not going up anymore. Carry on with your work." Natalie waved him away, indicating for Terry to go upstairs.She returned to the car.What on earth was Joshua so busy with? Was he too busy to pay her any attention?Could an authorization process really keep Joshua occupied for so long? Wasn't it just an authorization? Couldn't Radiance get someone else to handle it directly?She didn't think this matter would hurt Grayson Corp in any way.Grayson Corp had been doing so well over the years. There was no need to worry about such a minor authorization. Joshua was just making a big deal out of nothing.He had cast her aside because of such a small matter.She was a little angry. Unable to get over it, she took out her phone and dialed Joshua's number, ready to ask him about it.The call connected."Hello?" Joshua answered in his deep voice. Although it was a single word, it was still intimidating.Natalie immediately hesitated.The emotions that had brewed up in her d

"Let's not beat around the bush, shall we?" Malcolm said. As EngenCorp was significantly impacted, he intended to get straight to the point."Alright, I've brought the contract we signed previously," Natasha said, taking out the contract from her bag and placing it on the table.She flipped to the fourth page. "Given the current situation, it's very likely that the fourth item here, which is the expected funding, may not be feasible.""Yes." Malcolm sighed helplessly. "I never expected Joshua to directly attack the Toussaint family, and so ruthlessly on top of that. By doing so, he's basically burning bridges with EngenCorp."Natasha remained expressionless. "Joshua has always been like this. Have you tried contacting him? Did you ask him if there's a chance we could talk this out?"She knew that given Joshua's character, there was no turning back once he made a decision. Asking Joshua would probably be futile. Nonetheless, she still wanted to try."I didn't ask him. After EngenC

"Of course, it's a photo of you and Malcolm," Natalie said playfully.Malcolm frowned while Natasha sneered. There was nothing between her and Malcolm, and she had already minimized her contact with him as much as possible.She was curious to see what photo Natalie would produce.Natalie didn't beat around the bush. She took out her phone and located the photos she had pre-processed, displaying them boldly to them.Natasha subconsciously reached out for it.Raising an eyebrow, Natalie moved away from Natasha's hands and handed the phone to Joshua instead, leaving Natasha dumbfounded.Wearing a cold expression, Joshua took the phone from her, staring at the photo. In the picture, a man and a woman were standing close together, both wearing smiles on their faces.As the two people in the photo were standing next to a dim street lamp, their faces were not very clear. However, the smile on the woman's face in the photo was very infectious.Joshua found the smile rather blinding.

Joshua's existence had touched that tree of emotions in him, and he could barely maintain his calm composure."It's great that you know you're not worthy. Hurry up and leave Josh. He must be so disgusted by you right now."While the word "disgusted" didn't affect Natasha, it struck Malcolm's heart.He frowned as he knew that there was nothing between him and Professor Nancy. However, her expression puzzled him. Did Natalie really capture something in her photo?He refused to burden Natasha or cause her to lose her original lifestyle or her marriage.Malcolm forced himself to snap out of his befuddled state."Let me see that." Malcolm approached Natasha, leaning over to take a look at the photo.Natasha handed him the phone.Malcolm picked up the phone, and the photo showed a man and a woman in an intimate embrace.Dumbfounded, he looked up at Natalie in disbelief. "You—""Are you going to say that I'm stalking you?" Natalie crossed her arms and took on an innocent tone. "I ha
