Who's the Substitute Now? Chapter 55
Natasha rose to her feet, feeling a surge of disdain toward Ellen and Ron. However, as soon as she stood up, she began feeling unsure if it was a good idea to confront them.Back then, she had someone else deliver the money instead of meeting them. So, she would only be exposing herself if she revealed herself now. However, if she asked someone else to send them money again, they'd most likely try to extort more money from her. While she wasn't short on funds, she wasn't willing to hand over money to such greedy people for no reason.What should she do for them to give up completely?Natasha averted her gaze and settled back into her seat. She should check if they owned any other companies.She didn't mind starting with their other business. Knowing their personality, they were most likely involved in various illegal activities, no matter how hard they tried to cover them up.A smirk played across Ron's face. "Even if this plan fails, I still have other ways to remove that

Natalie opened the container carefully, filling the office with a delightful aroma. The wooden box was divided into eight compartments, each containing a different snack she'd made herself. Taking out a honey-glazed pastry, she said, "Josh, I made this just for you. I remember you used to love this."Glancing at the pastry in Natalie's hand, Joshua frowned without realizing it. He hadn't touched anything sweet since the day she secretly left the country.Back then, Natalie loved sweets and would drag him everywhere to try various desserts, forcing him to get used to sugary foods. However, ever since she disappeared, he found them nauseating instead.The same feeling of queasiness was churning inside him now. Glancing at the pastry and Natalie's smile, Joshua hesitated but eventually gave in. "Okay."He accepted the pastry and brought it closer to his mouth. But before he even took a bite, his nostrils were already assaulted by the sickeningly sweet scent, and he pulled aw

Joshua grabbed Natalie's hand when he heard this. "No, you're not. Natasha's the one who's too stubborn."Natalie was pleased with his answer. "Oh, right. Earlier, when I arrived, I saw the receptionist being rude to Natasha. "Although I don't like it when she shows up here, I couldn't stand seeing her being treated like that. So, I stepped in, but then the receptionist turned on me, too!"Joshua nodded. "I know you're a kind person who can't just stand aside and watch. Don't worry. I won't let it slide if the inspection results reflect her rude behaviors."Natalie's willingness to stand up for Natasha showed her rationality. It painted a picture of Natalie as a person who was capable of making decisions without letting personal feelings cloud her judgment. These qualities were what Joshua admired her for. After a moment, he let go of her hand and asked, "Is Natasha still downstairs?"Natalie stiffened for a second before responding, "She was still there when I came up with

Joshua pressed the elevator button for the ground floor. Soon, the elevator doors opened, revealing his uncle and aunt, whom he didn't expect to see.Meanwhile, Natasha adjusted her sunglasses, debating whether to get involved. Just then, the doors slid open, and Joshua stepped out in his black suit. What was he doing here?Natasha quickly hid behind a large pillar, hoping to avoid being noticed.At the same time, Ron noticed Joshua as well. "It seemed like Joshua's eager to give up his position as well," he thought with a smile.Puzzled, Joshua addressed his two relatives. "What are you doing here, Uncle Ron? Didn't you say you'd never show up here again?"Back when Joshua first assumed his position, his uncle and aunt kept making things difficult for him and even openly challenged him. However, since they were his father's siblings, as well as the consideration of his father's recent passing back then, he had stopped himself from confronting them.Yet, their actions onl

Ellen chuckled nervously. "I've heard some rumors, that's all. So, has there really been a problem?"Joshua glanced at Ellen and pressed his lips together but remained silent. Unable to hold back any longer, Ron blurted out, "There's no point in trying to hide it from us. I've already found out about this issue, so how do you plan to explain things to your grandfather?"Failing to stop her brother, Ellen could only sigh and step aside.Joshua had already figured out that they were here for some other reason, but he didn't expect them to blow their cover so soon.With a cold sneer, Joshua answered, "Since you've already dug around, there's nothing more for me to say."While it was true that he was to blame for the company's failure to develop a new drug, Joshua was confident that he could solve this issue. His current plan was to spend a hefty sum to hire Sean Crawford and put him in charge of Grayson Corp's drug manufacturing process. With Sean on board, Joshua was certain t

After the speech, Joshua spun around, ready to leave.Ron's sleazy face turned a shade of green after he was provoked. "Why? Are you unwilling to give up on your role?"Can you solve the issue of the expired authorization? Are you capable of coming up with new drugs that will pass the quality inspection?"Joshua halted when he heard Ron's doubts. Ellen and Ron seemed privy to information within the company, which only strengthened Joshua's resolve to purge certain elements from the company."If we can't come up with new drugs before the authorization expires, the majority of our production lines will have to be halted. Can you handle the losses?" Ron sneered with an amused look.Natasha pressed her lips as she listened in. At that moment, she was inclined to protect the Grayson Corporation. If Joshua chose to sign the document, she might attempt to stop him, as she would never allow the company to fall into the hands of the likes of Ron and Ellen.Joshua assured Ron, "I've star

Natasha's frown deepened. She wondered if Ron had truly received Radiance Biomed's authorization and the anti-counterfeit security label.Upon hearing Ron's confident guarantee, Joshua raised a brow provocatively. "Show me the letter, then. I'll have someone examine it."Ron laughed and countered, "Do you take me as an idiot who'd hand you the letter just like that? I have to make sure it's in my hands all the time."Joshua nodded at Ron's reasoning and replied, "Fine, keep the letter. I'll arrange for someone to come in person for the authentication."Turning arrogantly to face the hesitant Ellen, Ron silently signaled her not to worry.After some contemplation, Joshua suggested, "Why don't you all come to my office?" He pressed the elevator lobby button, and the three entered the elevator.It was then Natasha slowly emerged from behind the pillar. Since she couldn't tag along, she helplessly watched as the elevator doors slid shut.Standing there, she realized there was

The office door creaked open, and a woman peeked out. Ron took a good look at the woman. Natasha Sullivan?Natalie, who noticed Ron's gaze, jumped in shock and slammed the door shut. Just now, in the heat of the moment, she tried to snoop on Joshua, wanting to know if he was at work or simply shunning her because of Natasha's badmouthing. To her surprise, the first thing that appeared in her vision field was Ron Grayson.Ron squinted at the woman who looked like Natasha Sullivan. No! She must be Natalie Lovelace. But how had Natalie returned and stayed by Joshua's side? Philip must not have heard about this.Joshua did not notice the commotion behind him and proceeded to the floor beneath. They arrived at the office a floor below and were served drinks by the assistant. Soon, Colin West entered the office and joined the three.Joshua glanced at Ron and said, "Show it."Ron carefully exhibited his precious letter of authorization and declared, "Please be thorough.
