Chapter 126
The Imposter Bride
When Lexi returned, Natalia was nowhere to be found.
Lexi collapsed on the floor, so panicâstricken sheâd forgotten to call the police What happened? She had a bad feeling when they went out to play this morning. No wonder they always felt like someone was following them. It wasnât a misperception. It must have been a premeditated setup Suddenly, Lexi recalled that it wasnât by chance that she wanted to see Natalia, but because she received a strange text message early in the morning it said Natalia really missed her, and she thought Natalia was playing a prank, perhaps confined by Magnus and hinting at wanting to go out and play Now she suddenly got it. Her mind immediately went to Magnus. But she picked up the phone and didnât know his number Frantic, Lexi didnât have time to think further and ran directly to Andersen Corporation Iâm sorry, nonâemployees are not allowed to enter Please leave The security guard in front of her blocked her way âPlease, I really need to see Mr. Andersen. Something happened to his wife.â Lexi cried pitifully, tears streaming down her face.
âAlright, Iâll help you convey the messageâ
âKnock knock knock âCome in Magnus didnât look up. His mood was already messed up by work.
âSir, a young woman, around twenty years old, has just barged into the company. She says your wife is in danger His secretary anxiously informed him.
Upon hearing this, Magnus suddenly looked up.
âWhat? Take me to see her Without a second thought, Magnus wheeled himself out as quickly as possible When he arrived at the lobby, he saw a tearful young woman, sobbing heartbrokenly. Magnus cold demeanor immediately overshadowed her urgent concerns, and Lexi stared at the man on the wheelchair âWhat happened? Whereâs Nat?â Magnus gaze was as sharp as a sword, pointed directly at the tearful girl.
I donât know. This morning when we went out, we felt like someone was following us. But we didnât pay attention. At the coffee shop, she took one sip of her coffee and fainted. I was frightened too. I went out to get help, but when I came back, she was gone.â Lexi was clearly terrified, her speech disjointed and incoherent A flash of ferocity crossed Magnus eyes. âI see.â Magnus immediately thought of the desperate Lucius Lucius could mess with him, but dare to touch his woman, heâd make them all pay the price. Nat had better be okay, if she was even slightly hurt, heâd make them all pay He picked up the phone.
âHello? Magnus, why are you calling us today? Feeling lonely? Natalia not satisfying you?â James joked.
âCut the crap, my wife is missing, I suspect itâs Lucius doing Go check on him. Iâm going to kill him.â
Natalia was his bottom line, anyone who touched her wouldnât be spared Upon hearing this, James instantly became serious. He pushed away the woman in his arms.
âMissing? Alright. Iâll check nowâ This was no small matter.
As James used his phone to track the location, he dialed Chaseâs number.
âStart phone tracking A tall man in a black trench coat soon appeared at the entrance of the entertainment city, striding in fiercely âOh my god, youâre not pretending anymore?â Chase and James looked at the man who strode in, their jaws dropping in shock âI donât have time for that now. Natâs missing. I need to find her immediately Sheâs in danger with Lucius.â
âCalm down, weâve found her. According to Nataliaâs phone location, sheâs indeed with Lucius. And her sister, Kendra, is with her.â
âDamn itâ He didnât expect the two of them to conspire and abduct his wife. They were really bold.
Magnus kicked the sofa in resentment. At the same time, his phone rang. It was a message. When he opened it, it was a video âMagnus, you must be panicking now. Your beloved woman is in my hands in the video, Lucius irritating face appeared. Tm telling you. Give up your position as CEO of Andersen Corporation, or else Iâll bring someone to rape her then throw her into the sea Iâm only giving you thirty minutes, come alone with the transfer of shares This is your last chanceâ
Magnus angrily threw his phone to the ground âJames, help me find their location Magnusâ eyes were bloodshot, like an enraged leopard.
No one dared to speak.
In a short while, James located them âFound it. Theyâre in the old car factory on West Streetâ
Magnus bolted out of the room and rushed to the old car factory. He had never felt so anxious before.
âNat, I wonât let anyone hurt you.â
In no time, he arrived at the dilapidated factory. He wheeled himself to the front gate. Lucius! Come out!â Magnus at this moment was like a frenzied beast. No one could stop him. No one dared to âOh, oh, oh, Magnus, you came so quickly. Seems like Iâve underestimated your friends.â Lucius despicable face was so annoying it made one want to slap it Enough talk. Whereâs my wife? What have you done to her?â All he wanted was to see Natalia right away.
âDonât rush. Hand over your position as CEO. Then Iâll return her to you. Otherwise, you may never see her again in your life. Lucius glared at him fiercely.
It was finally his turn to make Magnus kneel and beg him. He would make him sign the transfer of shares.
âLucius, you better be sure about this. Magnus wanted to kill him with his cold glare, but his wife was in his hands, he couldnât be reckless. âIâll give you the company. But I want to see Natalia safe first. If youâve hurt even a single hair on her head, Iâll make sure you die a miserable death.â The company would be useless in Luciusâ hands. But rescuing his wife was the priority.
âSo, the tables have finally turned. Ha! Sheâs in there, alright. You just need to hand over the deed to your shares and she will be safe.â Lucius looked so smug at the moment that anyone who looked at him would want to throw him into the sea and feed him to the fishes.
Upon learning about Nataliaâs whereabouts, Magnus pressed the button he had prepared earlier, and a group of wellâtrained men in black suits swiftly surrounded Lucius, restraining him.
Ten minutes earlier.
âMagnus, are you really going to hand over the CEOâs seat to him?â James, who was busily searching for Natalia, asked with concern.
âNo way, Magnus simply said.
âWhat about the Natalia? Arent you going to save her?â
âOf course, I am. Natalia is my life. Lucius is desperate now. I believe that no one would want to help him. The only one who might stand by his side is Kendra
