Chapter 77
The Imposter Bride
Their grandfather was very determined, so this time, no matter what Carter did, it was already set in stone.
âYou guys âCarter was already furing Not only did they offer him no comfort, but they also teased him, which made him so angry that his face turned red. He couldnât vent his anger at Magnus, so he just bowed his head in silence.
James, who was enjoying Carterâs misfortune, couldnât resist adding fuel to the fire. He commented, âPoor lad, he hasnât even tasted the sweet flavor of love yet, and heâs about to walk straight into the graveyard of marriage.â
Down in the lobby, the atmosphere was weird due to Carterâs impending marriage.
After spending some intimate moments upstairs, a cheerful Magnus slowly emerged from the elevator.
He saw the usually stoic Carter, visibly upset. He wheeled over to Carterâs side, took a sip of his freshly brewed coffee, and asked, âWhatâs up? What happened?â
Before a sulky Carter could answer, the nosy James jumped in. âCarter is being forced to marry Miss Shaw from the Shaw family by his grandfather. The girl has already been sent to his villa in France Thatâs probably why he suddenly fled back home.â
They knew Carterâs temper well. Although he loved to show off, he had a golden heart. They figured he couldnât bear to be harsh to Miss Shaw, which was why he had run off âOh, itâs just a marriage, why the hassle Upon hearing Jamesâ remark, Magnus suddenly remembered his own love story with Natalia.
He couldnât help but smile tenderly at Carter Is Miss Shaw so unattractive that you have to run away?â
âItâs not about her being unattractive. I havenât even met her, Carter replied, feeling hopeless.
He sincerely said to the three indifferent men, âI have never met this Miss Shaw, and I donât have any feelings for her. If I just married her like this, wouldnât it be irresponsible to both her and myself?â Carter looked at Magnus for help.
He pleaded, âMagnus, you understand me best. If it were you, would you marry a woman you knew nothing about? Please talk to my grandfather. I remember he likes you Thereâs no way Iâm marrying that girl.â
However, Magnus was surprisingly indifferent to Carterâs distress. He said casually, âIf it were the old days, I would agree with you. But now⦠I think you should just get married first. You might develop feelings after you spend some time together. Just like me and my wife, isnât that right?â
He used to hate Natalia when he thought she was Kendra, but now heâd completely changed. Heâd fallen in love with her So, sometimes, fate could be trusted.
Chase, who was sipping his coffee and enjoying the drama, was shocked to hear Magnus advising Carter to marry Miss Shaw. He choked on his coffee. shocked by Magnus change of character And Carter, who was determined to annul the marriage, felt hopeless when even Magnus didnât support him. He stood up furiously. Fine, you wonât help me, so Iâll go back to France right now Iâm Carter, a reputable CEO, I wonât lose to a little girl! Iâll make her ask for the annulment. You just wait and seel After saying that, an angry Carter stormed out of Maplewood Manor.
James, who had never seen Carter so irate before, couldnât help but worry. âShould we just let him be?
He wonât do anything rash, right?â Although Carter was a competent CEO, James still worried about him, Magnus, however, was more composed âDonât worry, Carter knows his limits.â
Meanwhile, in the cityâs largest hospital, Addison was anxiously waiting outside the emergency room.
She glared at Kyler, who was standing idly by, and yelled, âKyler, are you even a man? You canât even handle your own daughterâs marriagel Kendra has been humiliated by that bastard Magnus time and time again. What kind of father are you!â
Initially, Kendra insisted on going to the Andersen Corporation with Kyler to confront Magnus Addison was against it at first, as she was still scared from the last time Kendra approached Magnus. However, Kendraâs persistent begging eventually won her over. She thought that with Kyler there, Magnus wouldnât dare to disrespect the Clarkson family But to her surprise, not only was Kyler useless, but Kendra also got hurt even worse than the last time.
How could she not be angry?
âEnough! This is a hospital, not your living room. You canât throw a tantrum anywhere you want!â Kyler was already heartbroken and troubled enough with Kendra in such a state. And yet, Addison was still here, constantly causing a ruckus, how could he bear it?
Eventually, an especially angry Kyler, shouted at Addison, âI tell you, if it wasnât for you spoiling Kendra from a young age, raising her to believe that the world revolves around her, none of this would have happened today!
âYou asked Natalia to marry Magnus in Kendraâs place, and now you want to go back on your words.
Itâs one thing to think you can push Natalia around, but do you think Magnus is as easy to manipulate?
âIâm telling you, no matter how much Kendra kicks up a fuss this time, if she doesnât divorce Magnus, sheâll eventually lose her life!â
Today, in the CEOâs office at Andersen Corporation, Kyler finally got a clear picture of Magnusâ true colors. Each and every one of these Andersen family members was a tough character, they were certainly not ordinary folks.
