The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 183

When Magnus learned that Michael and Isabella had severed their father-daughter relationship, he

couldn't bring himself to fully cut off ties with the Simmons Group, out of respect for their past

camaraderie.

Two days later, news arrived that Isabella was missing.

Magnus sat motionless, staring blankly at the azure expanse of ocean - his face devoid of any

expression. Who knew what he was thinking?

Nine years ago, he had been betrayed by Lucius, which resulted in him losing his legs. Afterwards,

Isabella abandoned him. He had managed to endure all of that.

This time, he had lost his legs again but had also lost his beloved wife. He surmised that he probably

couldn't pull through this time. Even if he dealt with those who had betrayed his wife, he couldn't bring

her back.

Magnus continued to gaze emptily at the sea every day. Outside his window, the sea wind rustled, and

the waves seemed to sigh with regret and longing.

Morgan tried several times to cheer Magnus up, reminding him that the company could not go one day

without a leader. But Magnus still lived in his memories of Natalia. He no longer cared about any

company matters, leaving everything to Paul.

Carter and Chase also had their hands full.

On the day of Carter's return to France, an irate Morgan announced that Lucius would temporarily take

over as the company president. When Magnus received the news, he showed no reaction. Lucius

strutted around Andersen Corporation with his shoes shining, and his suit perfectly tailored. He was full

of pride and satisfaction. Finally, Magnus, that bastard, had lost his legs again, and Lucius had

smoothly taken over Andersen Corporation while Magnus was recuperating. The feeling of power was

so wonderful!

Even though Morgan said it was temporary, once Lucius had this position, he would never give it up!

However, he regretted that Magnus had only lost his legs, and hadn't been killed. It was so frustrating!

He was afraid that one day, that cripple would stand up again and take his position.

“But this is also not bad. Magnus, do you want to fight with me? You've ended up losing your wife and

child, and now you have to sit in a wheelchair!” Lucius thought.

Hahaha, he was the rightful president of Andersen Corporation!

With these thoughts, Lucius opened the door to his office and walked in.

This was Magnus' former office. It was neatly arranged and meticulously maintained.

Lucius looked around the room and sneered, "What kind of taste does Magnus have? The office of a

CEO doesn't have a single decoration. It's so shabby!"

After saying this, Lucius called his assistant. “I give you half a day to redecorate this office to be grand

and opulent. If you can't do it, pack your bags, and get out!"

After the call, Lucius felt much better. He leaned back in his luxurious office chair and closed his eyes

to rest.

In the peaceful environment, Lucius suddenly thought of Kendra. It had been a long time since he had

seen her. In fact, this time, it was all thanks to her that Magnus was brought down and Natalia and

Magnus' son were killed. Now that he had taken the position of CEO, why hadn’t she come to see him?

She should’ve been eager to flatter him, and even willing to lick his shoes – that was just the woman

she was!NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

With this thought, he casually dialed Kendra's number, eager to have her come over and satisfy his

vanity.

"Ding——Ding——Ding——"

The phone was quickly answered, and Lucius frivolously asked, “Kendra, do you know where I am?”

He was expecting to hear Kendra's familiar voice, but instead, an anxious voice from Addison came

from the other end of the line. “You’re Lucius, right? Mr. Andersen, Kendra has been missing for

several days!”

"What?" Lucius instantly dropped his smile, sat up straight, and asked seriously, "What happened?

How could she just disappear?"

On the other end of the phone, Addison was choking up, clearly having cried for a long time. "I, I don't

know, I found Kendra's phone at our front door. It's been several days now, and she never came home.

I don't know where she went."

"How could this happen? Did you report it to the police?" Lucius asked.

"I did, but the police said that the surveillance at our front door was broken. There was some

surveillance footage of Kendra coming home from a camera further away, but it didn’t show what

happened at our front door. Kendra, she just disappeared without a trace." Addison cried.

On the phone, Addison pleaded with Lucius, "Mr. Andersen, I beg you, you must save Kendra!"

Even though Lucius was a heartless man, he still had a soft spot for Kendra – she was his first woman.

He was far from being deeply in love with her, as he didn't understand what love was. But regarding

Kendra's sudden disappearance, Lucius was also caught off guard.

In Melfort, everyone knew that Kendra was Lucius' woman. Who would dare to lay a hand on her?

Lucius comforted Addison with a few words and quickly hung up the phone. He sat at his desk,

frowning as he pondered the reasons for Kendra's disappearance.

Who would be so bold?

Suddenly, a thought flashed across Lucius' mind – Magnus?! That was right, if anyone in Melfort didn't

take Lucius seriously, it was probably only Magnus, right? He must have found out that Kendra had

betrayed Natalia. But where had he taken Kendra?

He didn't kill Kendra, did he?! This thought flashed through Lucius' mind, and without any hesitation,

Lucius immediately called Magnus.

The phone was picked up, and Magnus' cold, distant voice came from the other end. "What is it?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Magnus, such disrespect for your own brother? Shouldn't you at least call me Lucius or

Mr. Andersen?" Upon hearing Magnus' lackluster tone, Lucius knew Magnus was in a foul mood and

intentionally provoked him with a sarcastic tone.

"Mr. Andersen? I hope you'll take that title to your grave!" The icy voice that echoed from the phone

seemed to originate straight from hell.

A shiver ran down Lucius' spine. He retorted sharply, "Magnus, don't tell me you're losing your temper

now. I've told you before, you won't be able to hold onto your CEO position for long. See, not even a

year has passed, and you've resigned!"

"Ha, ha, back in the wheelchair again, are you? How does it feel, Magnus? Are you enjoying your days

of mourning your wife and son?" Lucius sneered from his chair.

Upon hearing his words, Magnus' cellphone began to twist and warp in his grip, and the veins on his

forehead were bulging in agitation. In an instant, with a "snap!" the phone was crushed in half!

Listening to the disconnected dial tone coming from his phone, Lucius was so infuriated he nearly

threw his own phone. "Damn you, Magnus, hanging up on me!"

But as he lifted his phone, Lucius changed his mind. He still had to contact Kendra. Left with no other

choice, he dialed Magnus‘ number again.
