Chapter 147
The Imposter Bride
He didnât say anything else, just turned around and dialed Chaseâs number.
Hearing the fury in Magnus voice, Chase knew instantly that he hadnât made the flight. Chase expressed his helplessness, stating that the aircraft had already departed from Melfort. Once in the air, flight paths couldnât be easily altered, as it could lead to air accidents. If Magnus insisted on forcing the plane to land, the implications could be severe, considering the hundreds of people on board.
Besides, he couldnât guarantee that the passengers wouldnât panic, wondering why the plane had to make an emergency landing. Nataliaâs safety was also crucial Hearing Chase say this, Magnus, for the first time, tasted defeat. Anger simmered in him as he kicked the nearby trash can away. He failed to stop his wife He thought to himself: âWell, sweetheart, wait till you get back. See how I deal with you.â
The next day, headlines filled the front pages of newspapers, CEO of Andersen Corporation causes havoc at the airport, security personnel severely injuredâ
This was obviously a deliberate provocation.
The articles detailed how Magnus had lost his cool at the airport, even going so far as to demand the plane to make an emergency landing. They suggested that Magnus was immature and unfit to revitalize the Andersen Corporation.
Behind all these was Lucius, whoâd heard from Kendra about the leaked video sent to Natalia. He had been keeping a close eye on Magnus, ready to strike when the iron was hot.
As expected. Natalia had been angered enough to leave home. And more surprisingly, the usually reserved Magnus had lost control, causing a scene at the airport Lucius, who was always looking to bring Magnus down, was not going to miss this golden opportunity.
He was out for revenge. He immediately hired online trolls to exaggerate the incident at the airport a hundredfold and even made sure the news reached Morgan.
As expected, Morgan was furious when he read the reports and immediately called Magnus back Seeing the stern expression on his grandfatherâs face, Magnus knew he was being called back due to the newspaper report. He wisely kept his silence.
âWhat is this nonsense? Youâre ruining your own image, boy Morgan rebuked, showing Magnus the report, âYouâre the CEO of Andersen Corporation How could you do such a foolish thing? Assaulting security and forcing a plane to land. Is a woman worth you throwing away your image?â
Magnus knew Morgan had always been prejudiced against Natalia, but he didnât realize his bras ran so deep. Grandfather, sheâs my wife. I canât bear her leaving me.â
âNonsense!â Morgan slammed the table, glaring at Magnus, âYou did such a childish thing for her. She could even take your soulâ
Looking at his grandson, Morgan couldnât bear to blame him, only feeling that he was too impulsive.
âSheâs just gone to France, right? She didnât say she wasnât coming back. What are you so worried about? Youâre the CEO of Andersen Corporation. You represent supreme authority Your childish behavior will make people think less of youâ Morgan felt frustrated.
âGrandfather, I love her Iâve already decided sheâs the only woman Iâll ever marry in my life. Sheâs angry and I canât let her leave alone. I wonât be able to sleep or eatâ Magnus voiced his feelings to Morgan Morgan stared at Magnus, who had lost all reason and dignity because of Natalia, and his hands trembled with anger âGood! Good! I see youâve been bewitched by her Are you willing to give up your position as CEO for her? I donât think youâre capable Perhaps you should hand it over to Lucius.
Morgan just thought that Andersen familyâs image shouldnât be tarnished because of a woman. He had always looked down on Natalia because she wasnât good enough for the Andersen family. Now that Magnus liked her, he was thinking about letting her have a child and then kicking her out of the Andersen family. The lady of the Andersen family had to be a lady of high society or a woman from a respected family. Natalia could only be Magnus mistress Hearing his grandfatherâs words, Magnus was taken aback. He then shrugged, indicating he didnât care. As long as youâre happy, grandfather, I donât mindâ He knew his grandfather was saying this on purpose to anger him.
âYouâ Morgan stood up angrily, pointing an accusing finger at Magnus, âAre you trying to make me angry on purpose? When did you become so disobedient! I, 1. F Saying this, Morganâs eyes rolled back and he fell backward Magnus was shocked, âGrandfatherââ
He immediately helped Morgan and quickly called for an ambulance Grandfather, Iâm sorry. Please donât be angry.â
The ambulance rushed to the hospital and sent Morgan to the emergency center Before long, the doctor in charge came out, âMr. Andersen, your grandfather just had a sudden rise in blood pressure due to anger, which led to fainting. Itâs not serious He just needs careful recuperation for a period and heâll recover soonâ
Afterwards, they moved Morgan from the emergency room. Although he was still unconscious, his complexion wasnât as frightening as before. Magnus immediately went over and wheeled Morgan towards the VIP ward As soon as Morgan was settled, Lucius rushed to the hospital with Kendra. âLook at the mess youâve made. Not only have you disgraced the Andersen family, but youâve also made grandfather sick enough to be hospitalized Lucius chewed Magnus out as soon as he arrived, wishing he could punch him to vent his anger Magnus shot Lucius a look and sneered, âIf it werenât for your little stunt, Grandpa wouldnât be in the hospital. It seems you didnât learn your lesson from your last stint in the slammer. His eyes bore into Lucius like knives.
Lucius gritted his teeth in frustration, but dared not admit his own doing. He brushed past Magnus, saying, âMove aside. Iâm going to see Grandpa.â
10:50 Magnus stayed put. âYou better not be plotting anything. If anything happens to Grandps, Iâll make you wish you were dead.â
His own brother had always been out to get him, why should he show him any courtesy?
Lucius shouldered past Magnus, striding arrogantly towards their grandfatherâs hospital room. Kendra squeezed past to follow him into the room. Before entering, she couldnât resist throwing a sarcastic jab at Magnus, âI heard Mr. Andersen had a showdown with airport security. Quite the spectacle, I must say.â
Magnus couldnât be bothered with her. He shot back coldly, âBeat it.â
Even though she had Luciusâ protection, Kendra was still scared of Magnus, and her face turned pale.
âYou donât push it too far. Iâm here to see Grandpa.â She carefully skirted around Magnus, then quickened her pace to follow Lucius into the room.
