Chapter 108

10:47 Magnus‘ words seemed like he was defending Lucius. But anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was implying that Lucius was out to get him.

Much like the past nine years, Lucius had deliberately pushed him into a line of fire, and also hired hitmen to kill him. All was done with malicious intent!

Upon hearing Magnus words, Lucius was consumed by a burning rage. He shouted at Magnus, “Stop slinging mud at me, Magnus! When did I push you?” Turning to Morgan, he fervently explained, “Grandpa, don’t believe him. I didn’t push him. I really didn’t!”

“Mr. Lucius, you still deny it, when all of us here saw it. You clearly pushed our CEO intentionally. If the Chairman doesn’t believe us, he can check the CCTV footage! Having done something wrong in front of so many people, Lucius still had the audacity to deny it. Paul couldn’t stand it any longer and decided to call out his lie Their CEO might’ve been icy, but he was kind–hearted, unlike the ambitious and ruthless Lucius, who could be so hard on his own brother. Paul witnessed it with his own eyes this time!

Upon hearing Paul’s words, Morgan, of course, knew the truth. He slowly stood up, looked at Lucius, and walked towards him.

“Smack!” A firm slap landed on Lucius face. “You bastard! Can’t you learn to restrain yourself? Do you think I’m oblivious to all you’ve done? I let you off the hook because you’re of the Andersen’s bloodline Your brother was lucky enough to be spared from your harm!”

Morgan’s hands shook with anger Thinking of the hardships Magnus had to endure from childhood, and the repeated traps set by his brother as an adult, his heart ached as if pierced by a thousand arrows!

He entrusted the Andersen Corporation to Magnus, not only to make amends but also for the company’s future development. He already knew that all of this was Lucius doing. But he never thought that selfish Lucius would repeatedly try to kill Magnus Morgan already know that the accidents Magnus experienced were all this Lucius doing.

“No, no, Grandpa, you can’t wrong me like this, you can’t believe Magnus‘ side of the story and wrong me!” Lucius shouted. His face flushed with embarrassment from being slapped in front of everyone His heart filled with resentment, as he coldly looked at Morgan. Why was it always Magnus who was favored by Grandpa, since childhood? Where did Lucius fall short compared to Magnus?

Seeing Lucius continuing to deny his wrongdoings, Morgan, was filled with rage, and roared, “You still won’t admit your mistake! You’re beyond redemption!”

He still refused to admit his mistake, accusing Magnus of framing him. The CCTV footage wouldn’t lie, would it? As a grandfather, he had long figured out Lucius‘ nature. But Lucius thought Morgan was old and confused, and unable to see through his actions.

““Lucius was at a loss for words when Morgan decided to check the CCTV footage. He knew that no matter what he said today, he couldn’t escape Morgan’s determination to investigate this matter Left with no choice, Lucius knelt down before Morgan, crying. “Grandpa, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have pushed Magnus. But I really didn’t mean to. He provoked me and made me lose my mind ”

Magnus chuckled bitterly as he watched Lucius not only gladly take the beating to save face, but also kneel in front of everyone. Then he Magnus said quietly. “Lucius, who provoked who? You were just in your office, engaging in intimate acts with Kendra, my lawful wife. You claimed that you’ve cuckolded me. I didn’t retaliate because you’re my brother, Lucius. In any case, Kendra is still my wife by law, and we’re not divorced yet. Aren’t you going too far?”

Lucius trying to argue with him was like fighting a tank with a sword. With so many eyes on the scene, he wanted to see how Lucius would talk his way out of this in front of Grandpa this time.

“You bastard” Hearing Magnus words, Morgan was livid When he noticed a wooden ruler nearby that the manager of the design department had brought over, he grabbed it and started hitting Lucius with it. His face was a picture of anger and heartbreak. This was a family disgrace. A man’s wife had an affair with her husband’s brother.

This was utterly disgraceful!

Magnus was the grandson who resembled Morgan the most, so Morgan had high hopes for him since childhood. Sadly, he had lost his legs in a fire. when he was young and had to live on Sapphire Island for many years But who knew that Lucius, this scum, was so intolerant of him.

Just looking at the contributions Magnus made to the company since his return, could Lucius have done the same? He wasn’t capable himself, and yel he couldn’t stand seeing others succeed Morgan, wielding the ruler, was a sight to behold Magnus rolled over in his wheelchair and grabbed Morgan’s hand “Grandpa, let go. Your health is more important. Please dont tire yourself out. I’m fine. Let’s go, Grandpa!”

Finally, Morgan stopped hitting Lucius with the ruler, threw it to the ground, and left the hall on the second floor with Magnus As they were leaving, Magnus looked back at the pitiful Lucius kneeling on the ground, and a smirk appeared on his face Lucius, Lucius, I didn’t plan to deal with you so soon. You had to bring this upon yourself Magnus and Morgan headed to their family business After a brief conversation, Magnus bodyguard escorted Morgan home, reminding him with endless caution to take care.

Magnus nodded, and a determined look appeared in his eyes ‘Don’t worry, Grandpa I’m going to take care of myself, and I make the family business prosperi Once Morgan had left, Magnus too departed, heading straight for Maplewood Manor Natalia, in her state of melancholy, had secluded herself in her room. Her mood was desolate as she sat on the balcony, and her eyes were locked on the horizon where the sun was setting, bathing the sky in a sorrowful crimson hue She had always thought that despite being separated from her mother at a young age, she at least had her father. Though he didn’t hold much authority at home, he loved her from the bottorn of his heart.

But now, when reality hit her, and she realized that things were not as she had thought, she felt a deep sense of isolation. It seemed as if there was no one in this cold, indifferent world who truly cared about her. She wondered where her mother could possibly be..

A chilling “snap!” echoed through the air just as Natalia was lost in her despair, feeling utterly alone and helpless in the world.
