"Say that again." Audrey set her cutlery down, expression now serious. She seemed to be in disbelief at what the waiter had said."Mr. Toussaint… is in trouble!" the waiter panted out, heaving as he took in harsh gulps of air.This time, Audrey heard the waiter clearly. She stood up, worried. "How did Malcolm get in trouble? What exactly happened?"Natasha looked worried, too."My. Grayson… was forcing Mr. Toussaint to sign a partnership agreement, but Mr. Toussaint didn't want to, so Mr. Grayson wanted to harm Mr. Toussaint."His bodyguard is too strong, and Mr. Toussaint can't defeat him on his own…" the waiter huffed out. "I fear for Mr. Toussaint's safety…"Audrey's hands began trembling. "How dare Joshua Grayson try to hurt my grandson?"Natasha's brows were knitted even tighter together now.Joshua wanted to harm Malcolm, all because Malcolm didn't want to work with the Grayson family? That didn't seem like Joshua's way of doing things at all.Joshua wasn't the kind of p

Joshua's expression was unreadable now that Audrey had rejected his instruction.Though ordinary people might only see Joshua's expression as cold and distant as usual, Natasha could read more emotion from him. There was a sort of exasperation on his face from being challenged.It arose whenever Joshua's words were rejected by others, an expression which Natasha had seen on many occasions."Who knows if someone as unpredictable as Mr. Grayson might decide to hurt one of our own later on?" Audrey said directly. "So, the bodyguards won't leave. They're going to stay right here."Audrey had long been privy to the countless rumors in Oceanville about Joshua's ruthless actions. That was why she wasn't going to let her grandson nor her entire family be placed in danger.The bodyguards would be able to keep Malcolm and the rest of the family safe.Natasha's brows creased. Audrey had clearly not noticed Joshua's change in expression. Her rude tone would only piss off Joshua more, draggin

After being turned down time and again, Joshua was furious. His face was grim, and his already icy demeanor appeared even more rigid. A cold and ruthless presence radiated from him."The Grayson family can step in and resolve the mistakes the Toussaint family made in Oceanville before. If the price is unsatisfactory, Grayson Corporation can appropriately lower it."This was the most significant compromise he could make.The Toussaint family's uncooperative attitude had infuriated Joshua.Audrey didn't respond to Joshua's offer. She was evidently uninterested in his concession.Malcolm couldn't help but feel anxious for Audrey. He subtly looked up at Joshua and saw that his face had grown even darker.Natasha raised an eyebrow. She knew that Joshua rarely showed his emotions. If he displayed such an expression, it meant his patience had run out.Malcolm also noticed that something was off with Joshua. He quickly intervened, "Mr. Grayson… If there are any other projects in the fut

Audrey looked at Natasha and said sincerely, "Thank you so much, Ms. Sullivan."Natasha nodded. "This is what I should do. There's no need to thank me."However, looking at Joshua's expression, it seems he's already angry. In such an enraged state, he didn't confront the Toussaint family. That's something I didn't expect."Malcolm rubbed his hands, and he sounded somewhat embarrassed. "Honestly, I didn't expect my grandma to be so straightforward. She didn't even give Joshua a bit of leeway."Natasha chuckled. The way Audrey spoke certainly didn't leave any leeway for Joshua. She guessed Joshua had never been treated like this before in his whole life.Audrey's temper flared up again when Malcolm brought up the incident. She sat upright and slammed her cup onto the table."He went as far as to physically attack Malcolm and completely disregarded the Toussaint family. Do you still expect me to give him an easy way out? Not a chance!"She then added, "He disrespects others and sti

The girl in the car had a tiny face, barely the size of a palm. Her lively, large eyes, along with the faint smile on her face, made her look extremely pure. This pure and captivating face undoubtedly belonged to Natalie.She was seated in the car, next to which were heaps of luxury shopping bags. Clearly, she had bought so many luxury items that the trunk couldn't hold them all, so she had to place them on the back seat.The bright smile on her face made it obvious that Natalie had just finished shopping at the mall and was in a pleasant mood.However, she seemed to find sitting in the car for a long time a bit boring, so she randomly picked up one of the shopping bags from the pile.In the passenger seat, Gina caught the movement from the back seat and discreetly looked at Natalie through the rearview mirror.While shopping at the mall just now, Natalie casually bought rows of luxury items, attempting to display the grandeur of the Grayson family's lady.Gina was truly surprise
