《Who's the Substitute Now?》全部章節：第 491 章 - 第 500 章

Natalie witnessed everything once she pulled Carly's hand away. Carly had no choice but to put her hand down sulkily.If anyone spotted two adults emerging from a dimly lit area, they'd surely suspect something fishy was going on between them. Natasha and Joshua's complicated relationship only added fuel to the speculation."Um…" Carly folded her arms, unsure of what to say. She didn't feel right commenting as she was just an outsider.She felt annoyed having to witness such an awkward situation. She thought watching Joshua and Natasha together must have made Natalie, who was already lacking in confidence, feel awful.Carly couldn't fathom why Natasha had decided to involve herself with Joshua at the conference. She had a strong suspicion that Natasha intended to embarrass Natalie.As Carly mulled it over, she gave Natasha a scrutinizing look.Natasha glided gracefully ahead, her black dress illuminated by the overhead lights, giving her an almost radiant appearance. Joshua, in h

While putting on a strong facade, Natalie stole a glance at Carly to check her reaction. As she had expected, Carly had turned red with anger and disdain. She looked like she was about to charge Natasha at any moment.Realizing her plan had succeeded, Natalie smirked subtly. Thanks to Carly, she wouldn't need to lift a finger to teach Natasha a lesson. She was a pawn in Natalie's master plan.Despite the excitement bubbling within her, Natalie maintained her innocent facade."Shall we go, Ms. Turner? It looks like it's getting crowded over there. We won't be able to make it if we don't leave now."Feigning concern, Natalie added, "I noticed you don't like being jostled in crowds. When we get there, I'll take the lead, and you can follow behind me. I can shield you from anyone, no matter how strong they are."Carly's heart was warmed by her kindness and consideration. She wanted nothing more than to teach Natasha a lesson herself."Ms. Turner?" Natalie called, puzzled by Carly's

"What are you doing, Joshua?" Natasha's eyes widened as she looked at her wrist, which was now furiously red because of his tight grip.The throbbing pain indicated he had tightened his grip instead of releasing her."Joshua, are you nuts?" she asked angrily. The pain made Natasha abandon all politeness.If he continued squeezing, her wrist would break. She would have to abandon the pharmaceutical conference and head straight to the hospital."Let go of me! You're hurting me! If you don't release me now, I'll call security!"Her angry rebuke snapped Joshua out of his trance. His eyes were still engulfed in emotions. Was it possessiveness, jealousy, or frustration?Joshua didn't understand himself nor could he control the surging emotions. All he knew was that he wanted to hold her so tightly that he could absorb her into his body. He wanted to immobilize her to ensure she would never find another man.Seeing that her angry outburst did not affect him, Natasha began to panic.Sh

Feeling puzzled, Carly stood still, looking around for them. She carefully scanned each person in the crowd.Given Natasha's outstanding appearance, she would stand out in the crowd. The unique air she carried herself with wouldn't fade even when standing among the crowd.Hence, there was no way she wouldn't spot Natasha. However, no matter how Carly scanned the venue, she just couldn't find Natasha.A nearby waiter saw Carly standing alone and tactfully approached her with a drink. "Hello, would you like a drink?"The crystal glass on the wooden tray shimmered with a crimson hue, enticing to the eye.Feeling irritated, Carly didn't intend to interact with anyone. Although she didn't want to take it at first, she accepted the drink after a moment of thought."Thank you.""Enjoy," the waiter said, bowing before retreating.Carly took the glass. However, instead of drinking, she absentmindedly played with it in her hand. Her intuition told her Natasha couldn't have gone far and m

Before he married Natalie, she couldn't escape him.Upon hearing that, Natasha trembled, raising her head to glare coldly at Joshua. The calmness she had previously was completely gone, replaced by indignation.Did Joshua really think he could have the best of both worlds? What wishful thinking he had."Despicable," Natasha uttered coldly.Upon hearing that, Joshua chuckled instead of getting angry. He repeated the word in a low, playful tone, "Despicable?"Natasha squinted at him. "What? Did I say something wrong?"Refusing to open her eyes fully to look at him, she squinted at him. That was because when she looked at this face, she would think of Jacob.From their forehead to their eyes, from their nose to their mouth, they were so similar.On top of that, Natasha was a little tipsy now. Given her blurry vision, she could see no difference between the man in front of her and Jacob. It was as if Jacob were truly standing in front of her.However, although Jacob haunted her dr
