"Can you stop being sarcastic?" Joshua finally spoke. "I know I was wrong before—""Mr. Grayson, should we get down to business now?" Natasha interrupted before Joshua could finish his sentence. She didn't want to talk about what had happened in the Grayson family, not even a bit.She then took her phone out and showed it to Joshua. "You sent a message this morning, saying that you'll help the Toussaints' cash flow return to its regular state if I let you come here. You'll keep your promise, won't you?"Joshua brushed aside the slight hint of guilt that almost slipped from his lips and replied, "Of course."He pulled a chair from the dining table and sat down, glancing seriously at Natasha who was standing nearby. "But I never make bad deals."Natasha raised an eyebrow. "So, what do you have in mind?"Joshua leaned closer, resting his hand on the table. "Give me authorization for Blenoxane, and the Toussaints will see their cash flow restored."Without hesitation, Natasha replie

"I'm sorry. Mr. Grayson, you were too close to me. I couldn't take it anymore." Natasha glanced at Joshua, and her tone was apologetic.After all, Shawn hadn't arrived yet, and she couldn't afford to provoke Joshua. Otherwise, as a weak woman, if she really angered Joshua, she wouldn't stand a chance against him.Hearing that, Joshua's expression turned grim.Natasha added, "Mr. Grayson, if you have something to say in the future, please speak directly. You don't need to stand so close to me. I can hear you."She then swiftly changed the subject before Joshua could respond."You mentioned that the Grayson family has no intention of replicating drugs. But why are the medicinal herbs listed in the contract for the Toussaint family so remarkably similar to those used in Blenoxane? Is this all just a coincidence?"Her questioning was devoid of any emotion."That's certainly not a coincidence." Joshua stood up straight. His dark eyes looked toward the woman who seemed eager to keep h

"I've already signed the divorce agreement and handed it to you. Haven't you signed it yet, Joshua?" Natasha's tone carried a hint of disbelief. She couldn't grasp what Joshua was thinking.However, her expression of disbelief was interpreted differently by Joshua. He discerned a hint of excitement in Natasha's slightly surprised tone."I offered to forgo divorce in return for the authorization." Joshua didn't answer her question but repeated his earlier statement."Joshua, did you or did you not sign it?" Natasha asked again. Joshua's response was clearly avoiding the question.At that moment, Natasha was almost convinced that Joshua hadn't signed the agreement."Is it that important whether I signed it or not?" Joshua responded with a question."Of course it's important." Natasha suddenly raised her voice.She continued, "You were the one who first brought out the divorce agreement and kept pushing me to sign it. Now that I've signed it, what's your game? How can you flip-flop

Joshua strode toward the stairs, unaware that Shawn was also following closely behind. In no time, the latter stood before him and blocked his path.Joshua reluctantly halted his steps. He furrowed his brow and squinted as he scrutinized the bodyguard before him.The man stood roughly six feet tall. Despite his casual attire, there was no hint of slackness. Instead, he appeared even more poised. The slightly fitted T-shirt outlined his lean and muscular physique.Due to Shawn standing in front of him, Joshua could even see the clear muscle contours on his neck.Gazing at him, who was clearly a former special forces soldier, Joshua burned with rage but had no way to vent it. He could only hurl the tie he held tightly in his hand to the ground.The bright red tie landed on the off-white floor, appearing striking and eye-catching. The obvious creases on the tie also reflected Joshua's recent anger.Joshua raised his eyes for one last glance at the staircase, where Natasha's figure w

Finally, Malcolm's voice came through the phone with his usual courtesy."It's not presumptuous at all. Would you like hard copies or electronic versions? If you need hard copies, I can have them delivered to you immediately."Natasha blinked slightly. She hadn't expected Malcolm to be willing to share the documents with her even though she needed them to help resolve the cash flow issue and not harm the Toussaint family."Are you really willing to give me the documents?" she asked.In fact, anyone with experience in business would have a sense of caution and wariness. Natasha hadn't expected Malcolm to trust her so much. She felt a bit conflicted."Yes," Malcolm replied in a gentle tone.Due to the situation's urgency, Natasha couldn't afford to question Malcolm further about his sincerity.She said, "In that case, could you please send the electronic version to my email, Mr. Toussaint? I won't trouble you to make another trip.""Alright, I'll send it to you right away," Malco
