Chapter 117
The Imposter Bride
A sly smile crept up the corners of Magnus mouth, eventually breaking into a satisfied grin. He lifted his head and looked at Kendra with a smirk. âAlright, you can leave now.â
Since he had achieved his goal, this woman could go back and sit tight. Her fate was sealed.
His wife had been bullied by this woman since childhood, and the last time, Natalia was almost drowned in the ocean by Kendra. He had vowed to settle this score with her, no matter what âLeave? But Magnus, didnât you say that if I helped you get the evidence of Luciusâ illegal activities, you wouldnât divorce me?â
She handed over the hardâearned evidence to Magnus, and he simply asked her to leave without a word. Unsure of what Magnus meant, Kendra was somewhat uneasy. She wondered if Magnus thought the evidence was insufficient, and wasnât going to give her a chance.
But it shouldnât have been the case. The issues seemed serious enough to her.
She thought that once she handed over the recorder tb Magnus, he would kick Natalia out of the Maplewood Manor. Then she would be brought in with all honor. After all, Natalia was just a useless decoration, while she was the one assisting Magnus. But why was it that Magnus hadnât said anything and was trying to kick her out?
âSoâ You think Iâll bring you back home right away, Kendra? You think you are still qualified to be my wife? Youâve been messed up by Lucius, and frankly, feel dirty talking to you. You also had someone kidnap Natalia, intending to take her life. You think I will let these things slide and still bring you home and support you?â
Magnus remembered all these things. The reason he didnât bring them up was that he was waiting to settle all accounts with her at once.
But when Magnus said this, Kendra, who just thought she could finally become the rightful wife of the CEO of Andersen Corporation, instantly turned pale. She looked at Magnus. Her face was flustered as she clutched her dress tightly âMagnus, you canât do this. I was with Lucius like that to complete your task. I didnât mean it! I know I was wrong to kidnap Natalia before. I can apologize, canât you let it go?
âIâm sorry. It was out of jealousy, because I am your wife. Why wouldnât she leave? Thatâs why I had Natalia kidnapped. You canât break our agreement because of my momentary mistake.â
Where did things go wrong? Why did the words she and Magnus agreed on before change now? Did Natalia do something behind her back?
No, she absolutely couldnât let her succeed. She had to marry this man and take the position of Mrs.
Andersen. The position of the CEOâs wife of Andersen Corporation was hers, and no one could take it away!
Magnus couldnât help but laugh coldly. He said languidly, âUnfortunately, your jealousy and stupidity have completely disgusted me! I said I wouldnt divorce you just to see what tricks you could play I didnât expect you to actually betray the man you loved for so many years. If I married you, I would probably not dare to sleep at night, because your viciousness is unmatched âNow that the recording is in hand, you no longer have value left! He finished, looking mockingly at the dumbfounded woman standing there.
With this recording, he could lead Magnus to his doom. By then, neither his grandparents nor his parents would blame him. What he found amusing was Kendra, this stupid woman. He was just playing with her, and she took it very seriously âYou youâve been deceiving me from the start?â Kendra never expected Magnus to say that.
Standing there, Kendra stared at him wideâeyed, her face full of disbelief. How could this be? Magnus was so senous when he talked to her at the beginning She really thought Magnus had feelings for her, and that was why he changed his mind.
Why had it turned out like this in the end?
Thinking about how hard she worked to get these words out of Luciusâ mouth in the past few days, only to end up like this, it was so disappointing.
âHeh, deceive you?â Magnus scoffed. He didnât even want to look at this evil and stupid woman! âYouâre wrong, I didnât deceive you. I just played with you. Like when you played me and had someone else marry me. Although you tricked me then, I still have to thank you for bringing Nat to me Get lost, go back and kindly get divorced, or Iâll have to use special methods! Then, youâll decide, whatâs more important to you, your life, or the position of Mrs Andersen? Hmm?â
if Kendra didnât divorce him and relinquish the position of his wife to Natalia, he had ways to make Kendra have no choice but to divorce him. If she continued to cling on, he would use extreme measures. He was never kind when it came to certain things Hearing Magnus words, Kendra finally believed that what he said was true Kendra, who was on the verge of collapse and unwilling to lose the position she wanted, didnât think twice before rushing to Magnus and gripping his arm tightly No, Magnus, you canât do this to me âBecause of what you said, I went to Lucius I framed him to let him say those words If he finds out, knowing Lucius personality, he wonât let me go âNo matter what, Iâm still your wife in name, you canât just stand by and watch me die! Magnus Kendra, who was emotional, was interrupted by Magnus dismissive wave, and she stumbled back a few steps and hit the office desk Magnus icy eyes fell on her face, and his expression was of disgust obvious Natalia clung to the desk, frozen in fear by Magnusâ expression She was well aware of the brutality in the way Magnus handled matters. Natalia had no doubt that if she pushed him any further, he might have just killed her without a second thought Frozen with fear, Natalia couldnât move an inch, let alone escape Magnus spoke in an icy tone. âLeave!â
