The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 101

That Kendra was quite shameless.

Even now, she dared to spew nonsense in front of him.

Hearing Magnus speak with such suspicion, Kendra felt compelled to explain hurriedly, "I swear, I care about you more than Natalia ever could. I know you can't leave your wheelchair, but that's fine. I'm your lawful wife, and it's my duty to care for you. Natalia, that illegitimate child...."

But before she could fully voice her slander against Natalia, Magnus, seated behind his office desk, lifted his gaze. His icy stare struck her full in the face, sending a chill down her spine.

This look from Magnus reminded Kendra of his previous anger at her for insulting Natalia. It was that anger that had led him to throw his pen at her.

Kendra bit back her words, her face paling as she stared at Magnus, not daring to speak.

She felt a shiver run through her, her body trembling slightly.

Internally, she couldn’t help but wonder: What kind of spell had that girl Natalia cast on Magnus to make him so protective of her? So caring towards her?

Magnus was her husband, and Natalia had absolutely no relation to him.

Did she think just because she married him in Kendra's stead, she could usurp Kendra's place and win his heart?

Never, Kendra would never allow Natalia to succeed.

Seeing Kendra silenced by his glare, Magnus dropped his gaze and said in a leisurely tone, "I don't appreciate women without manners. So it’s best if you refrain from slandering people in my presence, especially my wife."

Were it not for the fact that he needed to use Kendra to deal with that bastard, Lucius, Magnus would have ended Kendra for her continuous insults and humiliation of Natalia.

After all, a woman like her was nothing but a waste of air.

"Yes, yes, I won't do it again. From now on, I'll respect your wishes." Kendra was surprised that Magnus was openly expressing his likes and dislikes to her.

She couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that Magnus was starting to develop feelings for her?

This thought instantly dispelled half of her previous fear.

After taking a deep breath, she finally dared to sneak a glance at Magnus, who sat in the wheelchair in front of the desk, looking incredibly handsome, like a deity descended from heaven.

And she thought: This man is truly attractive, far more striking than that bastard Lucius. It's a pity that he's confined to a wheelchair, but even so, he still exuded an irresistible charm.

While Kendra was covertly observing him, Magnus felt a surge of discomfort.

So, he slammed the file in his hand onto the desk.

Then he looked up at her, patience stretched thin. He felt like he was wasting his time playing this charade with her, but in order to ruin Lucius, he had to continue dealing with this woman, "I don't care whether you're being forced by Lucius. We have to get divorced. I don't trust a word you say.

Who knows if you'll stay by my side, only to run back to that bastard Lucius and cheat on me?"
