He leaned in, whispering threateningly into Magnus' ear, "Listen, Magnus, you better quit bossing me around. Do you think I’d actually listen to you? But if you know what's good for you, you'd better hand over the CEO position of Andersen Corporation. Or else, you'll pay for this!"
The position of CEO at the Andersen Corporation had always been his lifelong ambition. He was on the verge of achieving it, but then out of nowhere, Magnus, this cripple, had beaten him to it. The mere thought of this filled Lucius with unbearable humiliation.
Magnus, who had planned to leave, stopped at Lucius' words and raised his hand, stopping Paul from pushing him away. He turned his head coldly, his icy eyes staring straight at Lucius, as he said coldly, "What more can you do? Even hiring a sniper and planting a bomb couldn't take my life. You really think you can? I'm telling you straight, I'm not giving up the CEO position. And I've just realized that that girlfriend of yours, Kendra, right? She isn't too bad wearing the title of Mrs. Magnus.
"After all, wherever she goes, people know her as my woman, Magnus' woman. You, like to mess around with her, and that's just an illicit affair between a brother-in-law and sister-in-law, something everyone points fingers at and mocks!"
As for Lucius, a brute who couldn’t be seen in public, Magnus had plenty of ways to deal with him. Did he really think that after all these years of enduring so much, he was still the same old Magnus who could be hurt at will?
"You…" Lucius was so angry that he wished he could strangle Magnus in the wheelchair. He hadn't expected Magnus to refuse to divorce Kendra, just to humiliate him!
He was well aware of the relationship between Kendra and him, and now he wasn't even making a fuss about divorce. Could it be that Kendra had done something shameful when she went to see Magnus this morning? The thought of the woman he had just fucked possibly being tainted by someone else made him feel even more disgusted.
Surely that was what happened. That bitch Kendra, she must have seduced Magnus, otherwise, why would the cripple suddenly change his attitude? The thought of this made Lucius furious. He charged at Magnus, but Paul stood in his way like a wall.
Suddenly blocked, Magnus remembered that they were in the company, surrounded by cameras. Magnus was deliberately provoking him. He paused, sneered, and said, "Magnus, do you enjoy wearing the cuckold's hat I give you?"
"I don't believe you don't know, that Kendra was just screaming with pleasure underneath me in my office. Can you satisfy her like that as a cripple?"
Kendra was Lucius’ property, and he wouldn't allow anyone else to touch her. Even if she was a foolish woman, she still had some use!
Lucius had thought that these words would finally provoke Magnus. However, Magnus just gave a faint smile and said casually, "Well, that's great. After all, Kendra seems to have quite a strong need in that respect. I should thank you for satisfying her for me. But don’t worrt, when you go to the Middle East next, you won't have time to satisfy her. I'll have my bodyguards take turns to do that for you.
"I believe Kendra will be very delighted with my arrangement. After all, for a woman like her, any man will do."
Did Lucius really think that Magnus would be eaten up with jealousy over Kendra? He didn't know that in this world, the only woman Magnus cared about was his wife. Other women meant nothing to him.
As soon as Magnus finished speaking, Lucius, who had planned to provoke him, still failed to achieve his goal. Instead, Lucius was so enraged that his eyes bulged out, and the veins on his forehead were popping. He wanted to kill him, right there!
So he furiously pushed Paul away, grabbed the handle of Magnus' wheelchair, and shoved it hard. The force of that push was clearly intended to kill Magnus. His eyes were filled with hateful light.
