The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 183

When Magnus learned that Michael and Isabella had severed their father-daughter relationship, he couldn't bring himself to fully cut off ties with the Simmons Group, out of respect for their past camaraderie.

Two days later, news arrived that Isabella was missing.

Magnus sat motionless, staring blankly at the azure expanse of ocean - his face devoid of any expression. Who knew what he was thinking?

Nine years ago, he had been betrayed by Lucius, which resulted in him losing his legs. Afterwards, Isabella abandoned him. He had managed to endure all of that.

This time, he had lost his legs again but had also lost his beloved wife. He surmised that he probably couldn't pull through this time. Even if he dealt with those who had betrayed his wife, he couldn't bring her back.

Magnus continued to gaze emptily at the sea every day. Outside his window, the sea wind rustled, and the waves seemed to sigh with regret and longing.

Morgan tried several times to cheer Magnus up, reminding him that the company could not go one day without a leader. But Magnus still lived in his memories of Natalia. He no longer cared about any company matters, leaving everything to Paul.

Carter and Chase also had their hands full.

On the day of Carter's return to France, an irate Morgan announced that Lucius would temporarily take over as the company president. When Magnus received the news, he showed no reaction. Lucius strutted around Andersen Corporation with his shoes shining, and his suit perfectly tailored. He was full of pride and satisfaction. Finally, Magnus, that bastard, had lost his legs again, and Lucius had smoothly taken over Andersen Corporation while Magnus was recuperating. The feeling of power was so wonderful!

Even though Morgan said it was temporary, once Lucius had this position, he would never give it up! However, he regretted that Magnus had only lost his legs, and hadn't been killed. It was so frustrating! He was afraid that one day, that cripple would stand up again and take his position.

“But this is also not bad. Magnus, do you want to fight with me? You've ended up losing your wife and child, and now you have to sit in a wheelchair!” Lucius thought.

Hahaha, he was the rightful president of Andersen Corporation!

With these thoughts, Lucius opened the door to his office and walked in.

This was Magnus' former office. It was neatly arranged and meticulously maintained.

Lucius looked around the room and sneered, "What kind of taste does Magnus have? The office of a CEO doesn't have a single decoration. It's so shabby!"

After saying this, Lucius called his assistant. “I give you half a day to redecorate this office to be grand and opulent. If you can't do it, pack your bags, and get out!"

After the call, Lucius felt much better. He leaned back in his luxurious office chair and closed his eyes to rest.

In the peaceful environment, Lucius suddenly thought of Kendra. It had been a long time since he had seen her. In fact, this time, it was all thanks to her that Magnus was brought down and Natalia and Magnus' son were killed. Now that he had taken the position of CEO, why hadn’t she come to see him? She should’ve been eager to flatter him, and even willing to lick his shoes – that was just the woman she was!

With this thought, he casually dialed Kendra's number, eager to have her come over and satisfy his vanity.
