Chapter 119
The Imposter Bride
âRegardless of the circumstances, it was always Magnus who got the short end of the stick. Lucius, with his ruthless mindset, had made countless attempts on Magnusâ life. So was there anything he wouldnât do? Morgan had always been partial to Magnus.
âBut⦠Seeing Morgan lose his temper, Lillian was genuinely afraid, but she also didnât want her precious son to be plotted against for no reason at all Lillian couldnât help but want to argue back. However, before she could get a word out, Anthony, who was standing nearby, lowered his voice and said, âDonât stir the pot. Do you think Dad is stupid? You think he doesnât he know whoâs responsible?â
Upon saying this, Anthony looked up at Magnus.
Noticing that Magnus was looking back at him, he immediately averted his gaze. He then added, âBut, Dad, at the end of the day, itâs Magnusâ fault. We all knew that Lucius and Kendra were in love. But Magnus insisted on marrying Kendra out of stubbornness. Now look at the mess weâre in. Itâs a total disgrace to the Andersen familyâ
It was clear that Anthony had sided with Lucius, despite his pretense of stopping Lillian.
In the Andersen family. Luctus was their biological son while Magnus was treated like an adopted child.
That was why Magnus bore all the grievances He didnât deserve any respect or love.
Seeing her son and daughterâinâlaw still favoring Lucius, Morgan, who was heartbroken for Magnus, was fuming with rage. He glared at them and roared, âAnthony, donât think Iâm unaware of your intentions! Do you think Iâm stupid? Magnus only wanted someone to care for him when he married Kendra, but she had a standâin at the wedding! This woman is vain and heartless. Canât you see that?
And what about the company? What have your son done. Anthonyâ He even framed your own brother!â
It was due to Anthonyâs incompetence that he didnât hand over the company to him. Initially, he thought he could entrust his lifelong business to his beloved grandson, Magnus, who was so much like him.
However, an accident had left Magnus in his current state. This had caused the elderly Morgan to feel utterly despaired, having lost one grandson and witnessed the other becoming disabled.
Anthony was at a loss for words.
Magnus, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up. âItâs okay, Grandpa. Iâll handle this. I wonât let the world laugh at our family. Kendra and I were married in name only. Iâll make her divorce me as soon as possible and return Luciusâ woman to him!â His words were laced with an mysterious smile âAs for the company, Iâll leave it to your decision, Grandpa Since Iâm not favored by my parents, Iâll go back to Maplewood Manor. Iâll come to see you another day when youâre in a better mood After saying this, Magnus left without another word, wheeling himself out of the old mansion.
Watching Magnus solitary figure disappearing into the distance, Morgan turned to glare at the three family members, grinding out. âYouâve pushed him to this point. What else do you want? As long as I am still breathing, you wonât get away with this!â
The consequences of Morganâs anger were severe. That very night, he issued orders to the Andersen Corporationâs executive headquarters and shareholders. He immediately stripped Lucius of his position as viceâpresident and ordered an investigation into all the issues mentioned in Lucius recording The next day, the Andersen Corporation publicly announced Lucius dismissal, leaving him idle.
As for Lucius and Kendra, Magnus had said he would handle it. Morgan, who was deeply concerned for Magnus, naturally didnât interfere No matter what Magnus did, Morgan, as a grandfather, wouldnât blame him.
The matter of Kendra and Lucius was causing quite a stir in the community.
Meanwhile, in the Clarkson familyâs living room, an enraged Kyler slapped Kendra across the face.
With a loud âsmack, Kendraâs face instantly swelled up. and the corner of her mouth started to bleed âKyler, what are you doing? Why are you hitting our daughter? Have you lost your mind?â Addison was already irate with the rumors flying around, and seeing Kyler hitting Kendra upon his return only fueled her anger âWhy am I hitting her? She knows why! Even at this point, Addison was still shielding Kendra Knowing that disaster was imminent, Kyler was so angry that he wished he could drag Addison over and beat her up along with Kendra.
For so many years, it was Addison who had spoiled Kendra into being such a willful girl The Clarkson clan was sure to crumble under the reckless actions of this stupid girl At Kylerâs roar, the guiltâridden Addison responded. She turned to glare at Kendra, who was left in a sorry state after the confrontation. Then, she bellowed, âExplain yourself! What exactly happened?
Youâve managed to offend both sons of the Clarkson clan Are you trying to drag us all down with you?
Kendra fell silent and slumped onto the couch Kyler glared at her in fury. How could he have fathered such a daughter? if she had listened to him and divorced Magnus earlier, none of this would have happened The Clarksons might not have been the wealthiest family, but they held a reputation Now, thanks to their disobedient daughter, their name was tainted in Melfort 1 tell you now. You must divorce Magnus immediately itâs the only way to save ourselves, and the only way our family can survive! You think Magnus would still want you as his wife after all this? Kyler said harshly Kendra sat on the couch like a puppet without strings, staring blankly at the setting sun outside the window. She finally understood how her foolishness had not only harmed herself but also her family.
She would not divorce, absolutely not, over her dead body!
Her hands suddenly lightened All of the dayâs events were Nataliaâs fault, and ale would make h pay back tanfold one day!
