Chapter 105
The Imposter Bride
Serve him right. After all, he was the one who carried her to his bed, she was pretty certain she didnât wander there herself.
Without uttering a word, she finished her breakfast and headed to school.
Ever since that day, Carter had been absent from the villa for several days. Sabrina had grown accustomed to it and didnât question him, she just focused on her schoolwork and her comic books.
In Melfort that afternoon, Kyler heard from Addison that Kendra had been called to Andersen Corporation by Magnus again.
Concerned for Kendraâs safety, he hurriedly made his way to Andersen Corporation However, when he requested to see Magnus, he was stopped by Magnusâ secretary at the entrance of the CEOâs office.
With no other options, a desperate Kyler headed to Maplewood Manor to seek help from Natalia.
He knew that Kendraâs actions often caused distress for Natalia, b ut Kendra was his biological daughter He couldnât just turn a blind eye if something happened to her, could he?
After all, wasnât Magnus fond of Natalia? Her words carry more weight than theirs.
Natalia, who had been reading medical books in her room, was informed by a servant that Kyler had come to see her She had a hunch about why Kyler might be here But she owed Kyler a lot â she wouldnât have survived till now if it wasnât for him She might have starved to death.
So, regardless of the situation, Natalia couldnât refuse to see him. Thus, she made her way downstairs to meet Kyler.
âDad, what brings you here?â she asked. Maplewood Manor wasnât a place that just anyone could enter She had been married to the Sapphire Island for quite a while and had moved to Maplewood Manor some time ago. Even though Addison and Natalia had visited her numerous times to cause trouble, her father had never visited her Just thinking about it made Nataliaâs heart ache.
Kyler was taken aback by Nataliaâs drastic change in attitude towards him after just a few months.
He was slightly hurt, but recalling Kendraâs precarious situation, he swallowed his sorrow and said, âNatalia, please help your sister. I know you might be upset with me for asking this, but sheâs in real danger. If you donât help her, she might die.â
He still vividly remembered how ruthlessly Magnus had treated Kendra last time If he wasnât around and Magnus decided to harm Kendra again, and Kendra remained as stubborn as ever, wouldnât she be doomed? The thought sent chills down his spine.
âMy sister? You think she deserves to be my sister?â Natalia raised an eyebrow when she heard Kylerâs plea. She hadnât expected Kendra to approach Magnus again. She was truly relentless.
She turned to Kyler, her gaze piercing, âShe forced me into marriage for her, even hired someone to kidnap me and throw me into the sea. Is this what a- sister does?â
Initially, Natalia thought that Kyler had agreed to let her marry into the Andersen family out of helplessness, to save the Clarkson family.
She never blamed him for silently allowing Addison and the others to do as they pleased But after spending so much time with Magnus and experiencing so many things, Natalia realized that the world wasnât as simple as she had thought Sheâd once believed that Kyler loved her, that he was forced into making that decision.
But Kylerâs silence, his willingness to sacrifice her happiness to protect Kendra, showed that in his heart, there was a significant difference between her and Kendra. Maybe he didnât love her, and maybe it was just a sense of duty.
Natalia, Iâm sorry if thereâs anyone to blame, itâs me Kendra may have mistreated you, but sheâs still your sister. Now sheâs at Andersen Corporation with Magnus, and her life is in danger. Are you just going to stand by and watch her die?â
Kyler was taken aback by the transformation of his once obedient daughter. He almost couldnât recognize the girl standing in front of him.
He thought to himself Itâs no wonder Addison said Natalia had changed. Now, even he, as her father, felt that Natalia was different from before âHeh, just stand by and watch her die? Kylerâs words made Natalia feel like she was just a pawn of the Clarkson family, to be used and discarded at their whim She couldnât help but let out a cold laugh.
Her blue eyes were slightly red, but she tried her best to hold back her tears She stared at Kyler, then laughed bitterly, Magnus called Kendra to Andersen Corporation for a reason.
As long as Kendra behaves and does as he says, what could possibly happen to her?
âInstead, itâs you, Dad Last time, Kendra had me kidnapped and thrown into the sea. If it werenât for Magnus men, I wouldâve been fish food by now.
âHasnât it been a long time since that happened? Donât you know about it? All this time, have you ever visited me at Maplewood Manor? Have you ever showed any concern for me? You havenât even asked about me âThe ones who want to harm me now have simply been called by Magnus to the Andersen Corporation, and yet, here you are, in my face, berating me for not swooping in to play the hero. I thought that, you out of everyone in the Clarkson family, still love me after all. Seems like I was wrong.â
It now seemed to her that any kindness she thought she had perceived from Kyler in the past was just a facade.
10:47 Although Kylerâs actions were not as explicit as Addisonâs, deep down, he always favored Kendra Cyler initially thought that by saying these words, he would make Natalia feel guilty and prompt her to help Kendra To his surprise, not only did his words fail to give him the upper hand, but he was also left at a loss for words by Nataliaâs retort Seeing Natalias tearful eyes, Kyler instantly felt a wave of guh wash over him leaving him speechless Although he knew he had wronged Natalia, his deep concern for Kandra led bars to say. Im sorry Natalia. options If I had any sway with Magnus I wouldnât be here begging you I know your sister has gone too far making you take her place in marriage and new wanting you to leave Magest. But no night be, she doesnât deserve to die So for the sake of your old man, can you help her just this once? From now on, I wonât bother you with your sisterâ a nu He had indeed heard about the previous incident from Magnus let you down. But Ti
