The Imposter Bride

Chapter 35

In the midst of stunned gazes, Morgan wheeled his way into the elevator, “Paul.”

“Yes, Chairman.” Paul, dressed in a suit, walked over with a smile.

“From now on, you’ll be with Magnus, briefing him about the company’s affairs. You’re his

assistant now.”

“Understood.” Paul responded immediately. He looked at Magnus with a smile, “Mr. Magnus, so nice meeting you. Just call me Paul.”

Magnus nodded slightly. The three of them stepped into the elevator and went straight up.

Everyone left in the lobby watched the elevator doors close in shock.

Morgan was ecstatic to hear that Mr. Magnus was returning to the company. He even gave his own assistant to Mr. Magnus, a clear indication of his fondness and high hopes for him.

Lucius clenched his fists tightly, his eyes showing traces of anger. Good, very good, not only did he agree to let that cripple go to the company, but he also handed Paul over to him. This was blatant favoritism.

He let out a cold smile, keen to see how that cripple would dare to compete with him. Even if Magnus did enter the company, he would make sure he retreated. He nodded slightly amidst puzzled looks, “Feel free to stay. I have a few things to take care of.”

He walked out into the villa’s courtyard and glanced up at the study. His face instantly contorted into a frightening expression.

Outside the villa, under the grape arbor, Kyler and Natalia stood there. Kyler looked around, then walked over to Natalia and placed his hands on her shoulders.“Natalia, are you okay? I’m sorry for what happened. How have you been on the island? Has Mr. Magnus been making things hard for you?”

Natalia looked up at Kyler, her blue eyes filled with tears, “Dad, I’m fine, but they all know I’m not Kendra. Dad, stop fooling grandpa. Please tell him the truth.”

“What? They know you’re not Kendra? And they haven’t made things difficult for you?” Kyler stared at his daughter in disbelief.

Natalia nodded, “Dad, it’s not right for me to replace Kendra to marry Mr. Magnus. It’s normal for the Andersen family to make things difficult for me, because I’m not Kendra. I just hope you can tell grandpa the truth Perhaps he will forgive the Clarkson family. After all, Kendra and Mr. Lucius are still going to get married.”

“Natalia, you’re right. I’ll speak to Morgan right now. Kendra will marry Mr. Lucius, and we’re still one family. I’m sorry for putting you through this, Natalia Kyler said remorsefully.

Natalia shook her head, “I don’t mind, I think Mr. Magnus is very good. He may have a strange temper, but his heart is kind. He didn’t make things hard for me when he knew I wasn’t

Kendra, but chose to keep it a secret with me. I will take good care of him until he can stand

on his feet again.”

Kyler looked at his daughter’s resolute gaze, and suddenly felt Natalia had grown up. “Alright, Natalia, since that’s the case, I’ll go speak to Morgan. We, the Clarkson family, were wrong first. No matter what

the Andersen family demands, we will agree.”

Kyler turned around after speaking and walked into the villa. Lillian, who was standing on the

other side, overheard their conversation and smirked.

Kyler must be dreaming. If it wasn’t for her son’s relationship with Kendra, she would have made the Clarkson family disappear from Melfort.

In the second–floor study, just as Kyler was about to knock on the door, he heard Morgan’s voice, “Magnus, if you’re willing to go to the company, I’ll arrange everything. At next month’s shareholder meeting, I’ll announce you as the new president.”

Kyler was taken aback. Morgan was making Magnus the president of the Andersen Corporation. What about Lucius? Kendra would be furious.

“Grandpa, I just got back to the Andersen Corporation, so let’s not rush to announce the presidency. Besides, there’s Lucius, right?”

“Don’t count on Lucius. I know what he’s thinking.” Morgan roared quietly.

Kyler quickly retreated and walked downstairs. Under these circumstances, mentioning Kendra would only add fuel to Morgan’s fire.

That night, Magnus took Natalia and left Villa Montecresto. As they were leaving, Morgan said to Magnus again, “Magnus, even if you’re protecting this girl, I won’t approve of you two being together. This time, I want Kyler to pay the price.”

Magnus frowned, “Grandpa, I’ll handle this matter. You don’t need to interfere. I’ll know what to do. Take care of your health. You don’t need to worry about these trivial matters.”

Magnus was Morgan’s pride, and as long as he spoke, Morgan would indulge him. He wasn’t happy, but in consideration of Magnus‘ willingness to work at the Andersen Corporation, he decided not to make things difficult for this girl and the Clarkson family. He believed in his grandson, and let him handle it himself. He took one last look at the cautious girl before leaving without a word.

When they returned to the villa, it was already 9 pm. Natalia escorted Magnus into his bedroom and prepared to go to her own room to bathe and sleep.

“Where are you going?” Just as she reached the door, Magnus called out to her.

“I’m going to take a shower and sleep. You must be tired too, go to sleep early

Natalia looked at the back of the man’s head as he sat on the edge of the bed in his

wheelchair.

“Do you still plan on living separately from me?” After the previous night, he thought she

would bathe and sleep with him from then on. He didn’t expect this girl to plan on separating from him as soon as they got home.

Natalia immediately walked over, “Thank you for standing up for me in front of grandpa. Now that we’re back, I’ll go to my own room to sleep.”

“Are you sure you don’t want to sleep with me?” Magnus turned around in his wheelchair and stared straight at her.

Natalia was taken aback. Her mind flashed back to the night he had forced himself upon her, and she realized she hadn’t confronted him about it in the days she spent at the Andersen Family Mansion. She

glared at him vehemently, “Magnus, yes, you helped me out at Grandpa’s, but I can’t forgive you for what you did to me the other night. Why did you treat me like that?”

Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears. She had pleaded with him that night, but he hadn’t spared her. Even afterwards he didn’t admit that it was him. Only last night, he confessed to taking her virginity.

Magnus maneuvered his wheelchair to her side, reaching out to grab her arm, but she instinctively stepped back. He frowned and said, “Come here.” He had to have her in his arms before he was willing to give an explanation.

“No!” Tears brimming in her eyes, Natalia turned and started to walk away.

“I’ll give you three seconds to come back, and I’ll explain,” he called after her.

But Natalia, as if determined to defy him, continued walking.

“If

you want Kyler to disappear from Melfort, keep walking.” His voice was cold and

detached, as he turned his wheelchair back towards the room.

Natalia stopped in her tracks when she heard him. She turned around, her hands clenched

into fists. He always knew how to threaten her using her father.

She closed her eyes, and when she opened them, the man had already gone to the bathroom. She gritted her teeth and followed him, pulling him back just as he was about to undress. “What else can you do besides threatening me and losing your temper? You’re a jerk!”

She wanted to cry so badly, but the tears were welling up in her eyes and she tried her best to

hold them back.
