The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 119

“Regardless 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 Magnus' life. So was there anything he wouldn't do?” Morgan had always been partial to Magnus.

"But…" Seeing Morgan lose his temper, Lillian was genuinely afraid, but she also didn't want her precious son to be plotted against for no reason at all.

Lillian couldn't help but want to argue back. However, before she could get a word out, Anthony, who was standing nearby, lowered his voice and said, "Don't stir the pot. Do you think Dad is stupid? You think he doesn't he know who's responsible?"

Upon saying this, Anthony looked up at Magnus.

Noticing that Magnus was looking back at him, he immediately averted his gaze. He then added, "But, Dad, at the end of the day, it's Magnus' 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 we're in. It's a total disgrace to the Andersen family."

It was clear that Anthony had sided with Lucius, despite his pretense of stopping Lillian.

In the Andersen family, Lucius was their biological son while Magnus was treated like an adopted child. That was why Magnus bore all the grievances. He didn't deserve any respect or love.

Seeing her son and daughter-in-law still favoring Lucius, Morgan, who was heartbroken for Magnus, was fuming with rage. He glared at them and roared, "Anthony, don't think I'm unaware of your intentions! Do you think I'm stupid? Magnus only wanted someone to care for him when he married Kendra, but she had a stand-in at the wedding! This woman is vain and heartless. Can't you see that? And what about the company? What have your son done, Anthony? He even framed your own brother!"

It was due to Anthony's incompetence that he didn't 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. "It's okay, Grandpa. I'll handle this. I won't let the world laugh at our family. Kendra and I were married in name only. I'll make her divorce me as soon as possible and return Lucius' woman to him!" His words were laced with an mysterious smile. "As for the company, I'll leave it to your decision, Grandpa. Since I'm not favored by my parents, I'll go back to Maplewood Manor. I'll come to see you another day when you're 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, "You've pushed him to this point. What else do you want? As long as I am still breathing, you won't get away with this!"

The consequences of Morgan's anger were severe. That very night, he issued orders to the Andersen Corporation's executive headquarters and shareholders. He immediately stripped Lucius of his position as vice-president 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.
