Semua Bab Who's the Substitute Now?: Bab 81 - Bab 90

"Today, I'm truly grateful for everyone joining us at the Graysons' banquet. Your presence means a lot to me," Philip conveyed his gratitude from the luxurious podium.Natasha, standing nearby, was silently contemplating how to approach Philip.Joshua stood next to Natasha, holding a glass of champagne. However, his demeanor seemed distant. Even though everything seemed fine, there was a sense of detachment in the air.Watching the two, Lorelei subtly eyed Natasha and then ushered Joshua aside. "Josh, I need a word with you."Lorelei's original idea was to get Natasha to attend the event, using the opportunity to strengthen her bond with Joshua. Given Natasha's strong feelings for him, she wouldn't have been so determined to divorce if not for Natalie.However, looking at Joshua's attitude, it seemed like he wasn't offering much of a chance for Natasha.Joshua frowned. "Go on."Lorelei pulled Joshua aside. "Let's find a quieter spot. We can't discuss this in front of every

Natasha observed Joshua's retreating figure with a complex expression. She shook her head before stepping forward to follow him into the banquet hall.She couldn't understand why Joshua hadn't just signed the divorce agreement that was right there.Just as Natasha was about to enter the banquet hall, Joshua, walking ahead, suddenly stopped and blocked her way.Instinctively, Natasha met Joshua's cold, indifferent eyes. Even the moonlight failed to uncover the shadows within.Had he changed his mind? Natasha oddly felt a bit relieved.With his shirt collar slightly undone, Joshua spoke, "You don't have to bring up the divorce with Grandpa later. I've already talked to him about it today.""You've talked to him already?"Joshua nodded. He didn't want Natasha getting too involved with the Graysons nor having lingering thoughts on the matter."Alright," said Natasha. Since Joshua had already sorted things out with his grandfather, Natasha figured there was no need for her to appr

"Oh, speaking of which, that laboratory has just been completed. Professor Nancy hasn't really been there much, but I've got the inside scoop. "Starting tomorrow, she'll be carrying out her research there every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday."Joshua stretched his legs, sat up from the couch, and nodded."Okay, I've spilled all the beans I could find for you." Matt took a sip of his tea. "Man, digging up all this stuff really drained me."Joshua flashed a smile. "Once I handle these issues, I owe you a meal. Or if there's anything you want, just let me know." Matt lounged on the couch and said, "Don't wait for these issues to clear. Carpe diem. How about hitting a pub tonight for a drink?""It's been ages since we all had a drink together. Either work's got you busy, or you're not in the mood. The bros are really missing you," Matt added.Hearing this, Joshua pursed his lips. "Tonight won't work. I've got a whole bunch of guests waiting for me at home. I've got to head back."

Ryan noticed that something was off with Natasha's expression. He looked at her and asked, "Professor? What's wrong?"Her elegant composure betrayed hints of worry. She was lost in her thoughts and didn't hear Ryan. Joshua's position as president was already set in stone. If she gave the authorization to Joshua, Grayson Corporation would definitely be able to overcome this hurdle.She understood Joshua's capabilities. The company's ability to rise again after extenuating circumstances was not only due to her support but also because of his competence.If Joshua was given more time, Grayson Corporation would grow to become a powerhouse. However, if she didn't hand over the authorization, it would be very difficult for the company to survive this challenge.Natasha quietly supported the company for three years behind Joshua's back. She knew very well that Blenoxane occupied the lion's share of Grayson Corporation's sales in the market. If Blenoxane was taken away and the company di

A pharmaceutical prodigy like Professor Nancy definitely deserved to be treated with respect. Showing up unannounced like this was not really proper… However, he also had no other choice.He hoped to discuss things with Professor Nancy. No matter how high her price was, Grayson Corporation would accept it as long as she gave them the authorization.Joshua stood at the door of the laboratory. He drew back his outstretched hand. After hesitating for a while, he gave the door two light knocks.No one answered him.His eyebrows furrowed lightly. He knocked on the door again. There was still no answer.Joshua's eyebrows knitted together tightly as confusion flashed across his gaze. He peeked into the window. The equipment in the room was definitely running.His eyes darkened as he pushed open the door.There was not a single soul in this big laboratory.How could it be?Joshua was so sure that Professor Nancy was inside one of these rooms. However, how could there be no one? Did
