While waiting for the call to connect, Natasha found the passing seconds excruciatingly long.Being alone in Oceanville, with the constant threat of her identity being exposed, she was extremely anxious.Her hand holding the phone trembled slightly. Her gaze was fixed on the person at the door, fearing any sudden actions from him.In just a few short seconds, the sound of a ringing phone suddenly came from outside the door.Natasha was taken aback by the sudden ringtone. It nearly caused her to drop the phone she held tightly. She had dialed Shawn's number, yet the ringing came from outside the door.The next second, the call was connected. On the other end, Shawn remained silent, waiting for Natasha to speak."Shawn, come to Imperial Heights now," Natasha whispered as she kept an eye on the man outside.Just then, she caught sight of movement at the door. It seemed the person outside was turning to peer inside.Natasha's heart skipped a beat. After a glance, she swiftly turned

Natasha carefully read the information Ryan had sent her. It was written there that Joshua had been kicked out by Marcus Fletcher, Havenfield International Hospital's director.Havenfield and Joshua had a cooperative relationship. The Grayson Corporation took care of the supply while Havenfield took care of selling the medications.Since they were all in it together, Natasha suspected that there was something fishy about the fact that Marcus had kicked Joshua out.With this information in hand, she headed to the walk-in closet upstairs to change her clothes. The room was spacious, but there weren't many clothes, which gave it a somewhat desolate feel.Back when Natasha was at the Grayson mansion, she had a similarly large walk-in closet filled with a variety of expensive clothes. Her clothes were worth enough to buy a business.Everyone envied Natasha for being spoiled by Joshua. No one would spend so much money buying clothes for their spouse except for Joshua. However, Natasha k

Natasha couldn't help but feel a little anxious as the housekeeper hadn't returned yet. Facing the two menacing bodyguards, Alex and Niel, she asked, "Can you help me deliver a message?"The two of them remained unmoved.Sighing, Natasha removed the pearl necklace she wore. Each pearl was perfectly round and lustrous. They shimmered in the sunlight.She handed it to Alex and Niel and said, "This is a token of my appreciation. Can you deliver a message to Mr. Fletcher?"Alex and Niel glanced at the necklace indifferently as if they were questioning the pearls' authenticity. The duo showed no interest at all.Anticipating this, Natasha slowly added, "I bought this necklace from abroad. Each pearl is worth tens of thousands of dollars. So, how much do you think the necklace is worth?"Natasha blinked as if she couldn't grasp how much it was worth. She handed the necklace over to the duo. "Why don't you help me figure out how much this necklace is worth?"Alex and Niel swallowed har

Harriet was still nimble even though she was wearing a tight-fitting dress. Moving with lightning speed and sharpness, she bent her knee and kicked.Natasha had no time to dodge. She gave in and closed her eyes, but the pain she was expecting never came.She saw Shawn's stocky frame as she opened her eyes. He caught Harriet's leg, and the veins in his wrist bulged. His face was expressionless as if he felt no pain at all.Natasha blinked. She had been on her own for so long that she almost forgot that Shawn was standing right behind her. She wasn't going to be in any danger with him around.Harriet frowned and threw a more lethal punch at Shawn. Shawn didn't move an inch, catching her wrist in a flash.He showed her no mercy. As soon as he had her in his grip, he quickly twisted her wrist in the opposite direction, causing her to wince in pain.Shawn kicked Harriet in the knee with his right foot while she was distracted. She was thrown almost two feet away.Natasha stared at Sh

Natasha watched Marcus' expression as he spoke. He didn't seem as impatient as before.Feeling relieved, she said bluntly, "I want you to help restore the Toussaints' cash flow."Marcus remained expressionless.Harriet, who was standing nearby, muttered scornfully, "You were so arrogant earlier. I thought you might have something of value to offer to Havenfield."You're here begging Havenfield for help, yet you still dare to fight us. How shameless!"Marcus and Natasha heard her loud and clear. Harriet's words were true, and Natasha had no words of protest.Marcus sipped his coffee with no reaction to Harriet's mockery. Natasha understood that his silence meant he agreed with what Harriet was saying."It was our fault. I apologize on Shawn's behalf." Natasha's tone was neither overbearing nor restrained."Mrs. Grayson, you're overreacting." Marcus set his cup down on the table.He inadvertently glanced at the steaming coffee in front of Natasha and pushed the cup toward her. "
