Who's the Substitute Now?의 모든 챕터: 챕터 321 - 챕터 330

Natalie paled. Joshua had never uttered such harsh words to her."Josh, what do you mean?"Tears instantly welled up in Natalie's eyes, and she looked pitiful."Do you think I'm dragging the Grayson family down?" she said, stuttering as if she was short of breath.Joshua looked at her.Natalie continued, "I'm not as capable as Natasha. She can help the Grayson family, but I can't… I already feel guilty about this."I tried to help the Grayson family, but I ended up causing more trouble. I feel terrible about it."However, Joshua's words stabbed her right in the heart. He was outright blaming her for not being able to help the Grayson family like Natasha had.The more Natalie thought about it, the angrier she felt. Immersed in her world, she began crying uncontrollably.When she finally finished expressing her grievances, she lifted her head, but Joshua was nowhere to be seen.Did he actually abandon a weak woman like her on the streets? Natalie couldn't believe it.Her anger

Natasha smiled. She leaned down to unbuckle her seatbelt before opening the door to get out of the car.Ryan parked the car in the same spot where Joshua had just parked.As soon as Natasha got out of the car, she detected the lingering scent of a cigarette.While the smell was strong, it was not unpleasant. The cigarette's scent was familiar.Frowning, she looked at the ground but did not find any cigarette butts.However, the smell of smoke was unmistakably similar to the one Joshua usually smoked.Natasha knew that Joshua only smoked when he was in a bad mood, and he never touched cigarettes on ordinary days. After all, he fundamentally disliked smoking.After looking around and considering the license plate of the car she had caught earlier, she thought it was obvious that Joshua had been there recently.He even lit a cigarette. Natasha didn't know if he actually smoked it, but he did light it.He didn't usually smoke, and he only smoked when he was upset.Was Joshua in a

Standing behind Joshua, Natalie sneered as she heard Natasha's decisive answer.Although Natasha refused, Natalie was sure that she secretly wanted Joshua to treat her to a meal.Natasha's reply was so resolute, and her tone wasn't very polite. However, Joshua didn't seem angry at all.Instead, he said, "This is out of the Grayson family's courtesy.""The Grayson family's courtesy? Since when does the Grayson family have any courtesy?" Natasha waved him away. "I still have Professor Nancy's experiments to conduct. Please leave if there's nothing else."Looking at her, Joshua added, "Aside from that, my family would like to clear your name, too."He had indeed misunderstood Natasha previously, making assumptions without listening to her explanation. Natasha must have felt very uncomfortable.After the time he spent with her, Joshua realized that Natasha was actually very strong-willed. He wanted to at least apologize to her.At times, she'd provoke him. Other times, she'd preten

There seemed to be electricity in the air when their gazes met.When Joshua saw him previously, he hadn't paid much attention to him. Now that he appeared again, Joshua carefully scrutinized Ryan from head to toe.Like Natasha, he was dressed in a lab coat. At a glance, he seemed quite young, almost like a college student.Joshua had good memory and observational skills. When Joshua entered the room, he noticed Ryan setting down the notebook he was holding.Although the action was subtle, Joshua remembered it clearly.At a glance, he spotted a lab logbook behind Ryan. Obviously, it had been placed there haphazardly.Joshua smirked upon gaining a rough understanding of Ryan.In Oceanville, trivial tasks like recording experimental data were usually handled by those who didn't understand pharmaceuticals. They would merely be tasked with small errands in the lab.At most, Ryan was just an assistant in Professor Nancy's lab.With a stoic gaze, Joshua replied, "I'm talking to Natas

Joshua's face scrunched up a bit as he looked at the guy in front of him.He asked for his name again. "Is your name really Ryan Zales?"Ryan nodded. "Yes."Natasha observed Joshua's contemplative expression with a sense of apprehension. She was worried he might do something to Ryan."Joshua, what do you want? If you don't leave now, I'll have to step in," Natasha warned.Ryan, being young and inexperienced, was oblivious to how tricky things could get in the business world or how to read people.He was clueless about Joshua and what he might be up to, but Natasha had him figured out. She knew exactly what Joshua was capable of.Natasha couldn't just stand by and watch Ryan walk straight into trouble.Disregarding Natasha's warning, Joshua cautiously continued, "Your name's Ryan Zales, which leads me to wonder… Are you part of the Zales family from Topola?"Joshua's eyes remained fixed on Ryan, watching for any telltale signs.The Zales family from Topola? A sense of familiar
