The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 147

He didn't say anything else, just turned around and dialed Chase’s number.

Hearing the fury in Magnus' voice, Chase knew instantly that he hadn't made the flight. Chase expressed his helplessness, stating that the aircraft had already departed from Melfort. Once in the air, flight paths couldn't 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 couldn't guarantee that the passengers wouldn't panic, wondering why the plane had to make an emergency landing. Natalia's 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: “Well, sweetheart, wait till you get back. See how I deal with you.”

The next day, headlines filled the front pages of newspapers, 'CEO of Andersen Corporation causes havoc at the airport, security personnel severely injured.'

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, who'd 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 grandfather's face, Magnus knew he was being called back due to the newspaper report. He wisely kept his silence.

"What is this nonsense? You're ruining your own image, boy." Morgan rebuked, showing Magnus the report, "You're 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?"

Magnus knew Morgan had always been prejudiced against Natalia, but he didn't realize his bias ran so deep. "Grandfather, she's my wife. I can't bear her leaving me."

"Nonsense!" Morgan slammed the table, glaring at Magnus, "You did such a childish thing for her. She could even take your soul."

Looking at his grandson, Morgan couldn't bear to blame him, only feeling that he was too impulsive.

"She's just gone to France, right? She didn't say she wasn't coming back. What are you so worried about? You're the CEO of Andersen Corporation. You represent supreme authority. Your childish behavior will make people think less of you." Morgan felt frustrated.
