Lorelei looked at the diamond ring in Natasha's hand. The crystal clear gem had a faint crimson color, making it impossible for people to look away. Thomas' eyes widened as well."You mean this diamond ring?" asked Natasha as she waved her hand before the astonished Lorelei.That was perhaps the one. Thomas had never seen a diamond ring worth hundreds of millions of dollars before and only knew the fact that the ring was beautiful. So, he nodded blankly.Even though Lorelei had seen many previous jewels, she couldn't help but admire the charm of this diamond ring. No matter how beautiful it was, though, it did not belong to the Grayson family.She turned to Thomas and calmly asked, "Officer, did you make a mistake? The Grayson family has never had this diamond ring.""What?"Upon hearing this, Natalie's eyes flashed with surprise for a moment, but it was only fleeting. She thought Natasha must have sweet-talked Lorelei in advance to protect her. When she saw Natasha comin

He had witnessed everything this time!Joshua strode forward to help Natalie up and check if she had any injuries.Then, he asked gently, "Natalie, are you okay?"Natalie was panicking inwardly. Why did Joshua come back?She stood up awkwardly and tried to maintain her composure.Shaking her head, she replied, "I'm fine."Natasha was also surprised when he heard the man's voice. Why was he suddenly back? Did the conference end so soon?She lowered her gaze to observe the interaction between the two in front of her. Natalie had fallen at just the right moment. "Was it intentional?" Natasha sneered in her heart.Joshua looked up at her and said coldly, "There's no need for you to keep troubling Natalie."Natasha couldn't help raising an eyebrow at his words.Natalie managed to stabilize her emotions.She contemplated quickly and grasped the edge of Joshua's shirt, speaking in a coquettish voice. "Josh, I'm fine. Don't be so harsh on Natasha. She'll be upset."Joshua, alth

"It was me who reported to the police," replied Natalie reluctantly.Natasha's lips curved into a smile as she looked at her, saying, "Do you believe me now?"Although Joshua had previously angered her, she had to admit that she appreciated his honesty. She was more than pleased to see Natalie's confident expression change into uneasiness.Natalie remained silent, a hint of unwillingness flashing in her eyes."This isn't the first time Natalie has wronged me. You should have already investigated the property transfer incident, right?" Natasha directed the question at Joshua, whose expression turned grim."She has repeatedly and wrongly accused me, previously, of transferring property and now stealing the Graysons' diamond ring. "What's it all for? Joshua, I don't believe you can't see through it," she added, sounding resolute.She had to remind him, or else the consequences when Natalie married into the Grayson family could be disastrous.Natalie's eyes filled with even mo

Natasha glanced indifferently at Natalie, who was on the ground, and then at Joshua, who stood nearby with a grim expression.She was not being ruthless toward Natalie because she wanted to see her reprimanded or abandoned. She simply did not want a woman like her to marry into the Grayson family. She did not want the Graysons to be ruined in her hands, nor did she want Lorelei's condition to worsen due to her actions. That was why she had not spared any mercy.Natasha's eyelashes trembled as she chose to turn and leave, refusing to cause any more unnecessary misunderstandings.Lorelei's condition should be stable by then. And with Joshua back, he would surely take good care of his mother. She no longer wanted to worry about anything unnecessarily and decisively turned to leave.Meanwhile, Natalie sat on the ground and remained silent for a long time. Her heart was pounding, and she did not dare to lift her head to look at the man before her.The Grayson residence was si

Joshua first met Natalie at a grand outdoor banquet. At that time, the Graysons not only ruled the roost in Oceanville but also had a prominent position among the numerous aristocratic families in Topola. Because of this, they were also invited to this banquet.At the age of 12, Joshua accompanied his grandfather and brother to the event. He had long forgotten about the family that hosted the banquet, but he remembered the extravagance of the venue, the expensive clothes of the guests, and the luxurious array of food. All the elites were gathered there. Even though he had attended many banquets at a young age, he still appeared timid at this one.With a smile on his face, his grandfather was busy conversing with the gorgeously dressed people around him.Joshua was naturally reserved and somewhat reclusive, unlike his outgoing brother, who had unsurprisingly made a bunch of friends as soon as he arrived at the event. They sat together at a table, chatting and laughing away.
