Chapter 92
The Imposter Bride
Upon hearing Jamesâ words, Magnus, didnât respond immediately. Instead, he replied leisurely, âItâs not the right time to settle the score. But we can teach him a lesson. Keep him in line for a while.â
Even though Chase and James understood Magnusâ feelings, upon hearing him say this, Chase was still worried. âWe know youâre worried about your grandfather, Magnus. But Lucius has tried to kill you over and over again. You canât always be this lucky So, I think you shouldnât hesitate anymore. Lucius is a scumbag who is capable of anything. Keeping him around will only bring trouble.â
It was within Magnusâ power to deal with Lucius, it was simply a matter of whether he wanted to or not.
Seeing Magnusâ unwillingness to act, James could only fret.
Every time he left his business in Europe to come back, he thought he could clean up that scumbag, but nothing substantial ever happened.
This time, Magnus was seriously injured, and Linden was unconscious.
If it werenât for Natalia, who bravely and stubbornly hung on, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
Hearing his two best friends advice, Magnus fell silent for a moment before saying, âI understand.
Lucius will be dealt with sooner or later, but now is not the time.â
James was furious at Magnusâ repeated retreats.
Magnus still cared too much about his family and couldnât let go of his grandfather.
Chase and James had no choice but to glance at each other and reluctantly say, âThen whatever you decide to do, just let us handle it.â
And at this moment, in the VIP ward of the cityâs largest hospital.
Upon seeing the document her father, Kyler, had given her, Kendra was so angry she nearly jumped out of bed.
She yelled at Kyler, âDad, why are you giving me this? Why? I wonât sign it, I absolutely refuse!
Iâve said it before, no matter what, I am Magnusâ wife. If you pressure me, Iâll end my life right here!â
Kendra had intentionally gotten close to Lucius from a young age, just to become the wife of the sole heir to the Andersen Corporation.
She even lost her virginity to him at the tender age of seventeen.
All these years of painstaking efforts were just for the day when Lucius would marry her and give her everything she desired. However, she never expected that in the end, everything she planned would fall apart.
Lucius, the useless weakling, couldnât even defeat a cripple. What a waste of her youth and sacrifices.
Luckily, through some twist of fate, she was legally the wife of the CEO of Andersen Corporation. At least half of her efforts werenât in vain.
But now, her dearest father was forcing her to sign the divorce agreement in front of her.
Of course, Kendra refused, and a heated argument ensued.
âItâs not up to you now. Iâm telling you, Magnus is not someone we can afford to offend. If you know whatâs good for you, youâll sign the document. Otherwise, our entire family, even our company, will suffer because of you!â
Magnus had already given Kyler a final warning. The only reason he was lenient was probably because of Natalia. But Addison and Kendra foolishly thought that Magnus was reluctant.
They didnât even consider that the Andersen brothers wanted nothing more than each otherâs downfall.
And Kendra was Luciusâ woman. How could Magnus possibly be interested in her?
Despite her threats to end her life, Kyler remained firm.
Seeing her father so heartless, Kendra, sitting on the hospital bed, started to cry While crying, she said, âDad, are you really that afraid of Magnus? Or is it because deep down, you still favor Natalia, that legitimate daughter of yours over me?
âDo you think that as long as Natalia secures her position as the wife of Andersen Corporationâs CEO, it doesnât matter if my future is ruined Iâm your and momâs daughter Am I really worth less than the bastard child you had with some slut?â
Growing up, Kendra had always been the apple of everyoneâs eye Which lady in this city could compare to her? They were all plain, without substance, only fit to stand in her shadu But she never thought that at the most critical moment, she would be overshadowed by Natalia, that damned back how could se pili?
Just like her mother Addison Kendra was always quick to case when she was angry Watching Kondra like this Kyler was burning with anger He was speechless for a moment then furiously walked over to her he raised this hand and slapped her hard autos yelled at her âif you donât sign this diverse agreement, from today ornardo, you If I canât control you then you can go and fight with Magnus yourself! will not csk at his stunned daughter is n the hollow litte of C60% wide that you want or Usually gentie father actually raise his hand to hit eget out of the Clarkeun fauly Kendra, who had been slapped in the face, covered her face in shock. She stared at Kyler incredulously.
She was greatly shocked, then said, âDad, you actually hit me and want to kick me out? Even if it costs me my life, Iâll never divorce Magnus!â
Addison, who had gone out to inquire about Kendraâs health, just got to the room when she heard Kendraâs outburst.
She rushed in hastily, watching the argument taking place in the ward room between Kendra and Kyler.
Then, she approached the emotionally charged Kendra and asked softly, âKendra, sweetie, calm down. What on earth has happened? Donât worry, mom is here. I will make things right.â
âMom,â Kendra burst into tears upon seeing Addison. âDad is forcing me to sign the divorce papers. He doesnât want me to be Mrs. Andersen.
He even threatened to kick me out if I donât agree. I canât stand it, mom. I will never sign those papers!â
Whatever Kendra couldnât possess, she wouldnât allow others to have either. If she couldnât have it, then others can forget about it too.
Especially not Natalia, that damned brat.
âWhat?â Addison couldnât believe her ears. She had only been gone for a short while and that damn Kyler had already made his way to the ward room to upset their daughter.
Upon hearing Kendraâs words, Addisonâs face turned ashen.
