Chapter 113
The Imposter Bride
Kyler and Addison noticed that Kendra, who had been gloomy a couple of days ago, had suddenly dolled up to go out. Both of them looked at each other with grave concern. Addison rose from her seat, hailing Kendra who was already by the door. âKendra, where are you going? Let your dad take you!*
The last time, Lucius had raped Kendra. She insisted on getting her revenge and brushing off Addisonâs attempts to stop her. This was a feud she wanted to settle herself But in the following days, Addison couldnât help but tremble at Kendraâs words. Even though Lucius wasnât the CEO of the Andersen Corporation anymore, he was still the second son of the Andersen family and the viceâpresident of the company His status in this city was not something an average person could mess with. Even if their entire Clarkson family wanted to deal with Lucius, it was not an easy task.
Moreover, they knew their daughter well Her sudden declaration to confront Lucius herself hinted at some hidden agenda.
âNo need, Iâll have the chauffeur take me,â Kendra responded impatiently to Addisonâs concern. She was pressed for time and didnât have the luxury to explain to anyone unrelated.
âBut Even though Addison could see Kendra was annoyed, she still worried about what could happen if Kendra went out.
Before she could finish her sentence though, Kendra who was standing by the door yanked it open.
With a highly exasperated look and a furrowed brow, she said to Addison, âMom, can you just stop bothering me? Iâm not a child anymore. I know what I should and shouldnât do,â
âPlease stop worrying about me Let me have some freedom!â
With that said, an impatient Kendra stepped out and slammed the door shut behind her.
With the loud bang of the door shutting, all Addison could see was the door in front of her closed and her furious daughter had left.
She was flabbergasted, grumbling under her breath. âWhatâs gotten into that girl? Sheâs been sulking at home for so long, and now sheâs all fired up. I donât know where she gets her temper fromâ
Sitting on the couch, Kyler didnât appreciate Kendraâs outburst. It reminded him of how wellâbehaved and sensible Natalia used to be at home. Thinking back to what Natalia said the day he had to rescue Kendra from Maplewood Manor, Kyler felt a pang in his heart. He knew he had gone too far that day.
hurting Natalia. It seemed he needed to find the right time to apologize to his daughter at Maplewood Manor He had raised her, after all, and there was no such thing as overnight hatred between father and daughter. Given Nataliaâs personality, she wouldnât hold a grudge However, witnessing Kendra storm out and Kyler reacting as if he wasnât concerned made Addison enraged. âKyler, didnât you see your daughter storm out? Donât you care if something happens to her?â
âDo you only care about your illegitimate daughter? Do you see your wife and daughter, as invisible?â
Ever since Kyler brought Natalia back to the Clarkson family over a decade ago, this had become Addisonâs regular outburst.
Used to her irrational outbursts, Kyler, feeling irritated, simply glared at her before heading upstairs, leaving a fuming Addison alone in the living room.
Meanwhile, Kendra, who had left the Clarkson family, had the family chauffeur drive her to Lucius luxury apartment in the city.
Since Kendra used to frequent this apartment, she was familiar with the security guards and easily made her way inside. When she knocked on the door of Lucius apartment, the sudden appearance of Kendra startled the house butler.
Ever since Magnus became the CEO, Lucius had been drinking and cursing at home every day The targets of his curses were Magnus and the woman they had thought to be the nailedâon Lucius, wife.
Therefore, it was indeed a surprise to see Kendra, the subject of those curses, standing at the door.
âWhat, donât you recognize me anymore?â Kendra snapped, irked by the servantsâ stares.
These lowly servants used to serve her hand and foot when she lived with Lucius. Now, they dared to act differently after her short absence?
Hearing Kendraâs rebuke, the dumbfounded servants quickly lowered their heads and apologized, âSorry, Ms. Clarkson.â
No matter what happened between Kendra and Lucius, she was once Luciusâ woman, and clearly above their station.
The servants knew to apologize, and this made Kendra shot them a haughty glance before continuing, âWhereâs Lucius? I need to see him!â
Magnus had given her only a limited amount of time. She couldnât waste it, so a swift resolution was best.
âThis The servants were taken aback by Kendraâs sudden appearance and her demand to see Lucius The butler felt a bit awkward, lowering his head. He then said, âApologies, Ms. Clarkson, but you might have to wait for a bit. We need to consult with Mr. Lucius firstâ
Lucius had clearly stated before that if Kendra ever showed up again, they were to show her the door Given Kendraâs current state, they dared not kick her out. Therefore, they naturally had to ask Luciusâ
opinion âYou need to ask? Are you kidding me? Iâve been to this apartment countless times. Are you blind?
Donât you recognize me?â She hadnât expected to be stopped by a servant on her visit to see Lucius Just moments ago, she thought these servants had some sense. Now Kendraâs face darkened instantly. If it werenât for her strange relationship with Lucius, she would have already slapped this butler standing in front of her. How dare he obstruct her way!
Facing Kendraâs intimidating demeanor, the butler didnât dare to look up. He just lowered his head, his voice trembling as he said. âMy apologies, Ms. Clarkson. These are Mr. Luciusâ orders. We have no choice but to obeyâ
