Chapter 112

At the Golden Groove, the music was ear–splitting inside the private rooms. Countless men and women were intoxicated by the dazzling lights and the aroma of the booze. But the largest and most luxurious private room was completely insulated from the outside noise, thanks to its high–end soundproofing equipment.

“Magnus, are you sure about this? Sending Kendra to deal with Lucius?”

James took a swig of his drink, and leisurely looked at Magnus who was sitting in their midst, whose eyes were brimming with satisfaction.

Despite his faith in Magnus‘ intellectual prowess, James still felt this strategy was out of character for his friend. After all, Lucius was not someone who fought with kids gloves Would using Kendra against him, a woman who had been involved with Lucius for so many years, be effective?

In James opinion, they should have assembled a team of experts from their organization and armed them with high–end weaponry to make Swiss cheese out of that bastard, Lucius That sounded more like it.

Upon hearing James comments, Magnus, who had been leisurely sipping his drink, suddenly burst into laughter. Lifting his head to look at James, he said, “When have I ever joked about these matters with you guys? My methods may differ from Lucius methods, but they are certainly not any less potent than his foolish antics Sensing Magnus confidence, Chase, who sat quietly on the side, nodded, and said, “Regardless of the outcome, it’s worth a try. The idea is to break Lucius from the inside and lead him down a path of self–

destruction Just imagine how terrifying it would be for a man to be betrayed by his own woman!”

While he didn’t fully comprehend why Magnus decided to use Kendra for this task, neither did he think that the brute force approach advocated by James was any more sophisticated than Lucius antics. If real guns and bullets were sufficient, Lucius wouldn’t be alive today. Magnus simply wanted to lead Lucrus to his own downfall out of respect for his grandfather.

“But I still think it s not the best approach” James interjected. He did not want to contradict Magnus but was genuinely concerned about wasting a golden opportunity to deal with Lucius. He was itching to get his hands dirty However, seeing Magnus piercing gaze fall on him, he felt a chill run down his spine. In a rush, he added, 1 mean, Kendra has been with Lucius for so many years What if she disobeys orders or changes her mind midway? Wouldn’t all our efforts go to waste”

in his view, the most straightforward and effective solution was to get rid of Lucius once and for all.

Lucius had committed countless atrocities, and he’d been itching to deal with him for a long time.

Magnus wasn’t worried In fact, he laughed at James‘ concern. He drained his glass of its contents and then confidently stated, Kendra will not back out. She still yearns for the title of Mrs Andersen; she wanted to be the CEO’s wife”

If Kendra had any feelings for Lucius, how could she have switched sides and started cozying up to him as soon as Lucius lost the fight for the CEO’s position?

Kendra was a woman blinded by vanity and greed, oblivious to her own shortcomings. The reason he chose to use her against Lucius was merely to add some drama to the whole scenario And he was certain that Kendra didn’t have the guts to cross him.

Fine as long as you’re happy with your plan. If things don’t work out, you can always call on me, James said, reluctantly accepting Magnus decisión. He had never interacted with Kendra and had no idea what kind of person she was. But from what Magnus had shared, she seemed to be a rather unpleasant woman No wonder she and Lucius were a perfect match.

As James voiced these sentiments Magnus didn’t even bother to respond Glancing at the designer watch on his wrist and noting the late hout, he rose from his seat, moved to a wheelchair parked nearby, and said to Chase and James, “It’s getting late I’ll be heading back He needed to go home early to spend time with his wife. Natalia He didn’t have much time to waste with these two singletons His fondness for the Golden Groove was waning it was too noisy He preferred staying at Maplewood Manor and spending the entire night stargazing with Natalia Even he found his sentiments amusing, but he just couldn’t help it Nataka just had a special place in his heart “You’re leaving already? You’ve only been here for less than half an hour” James exclaimed taken aback by Magnus sudden departure. While he admitted that Natalia was indeed a beautiful and kind–

hearted woman worthy of a mans love, he didn’t expect Magnus to become so smitten that he wouldn’t leave the house for days on end, only to return home after just half an hour when he finally did step out Natalia’s power over him was indeed formidable However hearing James complaints the usually silent Chase couldn’t help but laugh He said. We’re lucky to have him join us today, so ship complaining Next time, we’ll just go to Maplewood Manor it save Magnus the trouble of traveling back and forth. How could he bear to leave ha young wife alone?

Chase knew very well that Magnus, who had always kept his distance from women, had fallen hard this time But it was a good timing that Natalia vas different from her sister Kendra She was a loyal and righteous girl and perfectly suited to be by Magnus ude After James heard Chases words he was about to scoff when Magnus, who had reached the dour of the room in his wheelchar, shipped, and hated around With an approving look in his eyes, he said to Chase. Thats a good suggestion if il save me the inqukie of traveling this far Next tatis, just come over to Maplewood Manor After speaking tas piece. Magnus didn’t say anything more ite walked straight out of the private room, through the door that gas held open by the water Then he disappeared from sight, leaving a somewhat stunned James and Chase in his wake “That’s a bit much, int (17) James finally said, watching Magnus leave At his words. Chase, who had been quietly nursing his drink, poked up with a puzzled expression on his face. Then he said. “You the playboy of this game we call life wouldnt understand what true love is Our boss has found the real deal Meanwhile, Magnus was waiting for Kendra to make a matret Kendra, having received a call from Magnus‘ assistant, was getting a bit anxious. She was afraid that the deadline Magnus had given her wouldn’t be enough time to get things done After hanging up, she quickly got out of bed, not daring to waste any more time. She put on her best outfit, made herself up meticulously, and set out to find Lucius Chapte
