The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 189

Magnus Andersen was riding high on success; his face graced the cover of every magazine, selling out as soon as they hit the shelves.

Just as life seemed to settle into a routine, a bombshell dropped from those in the know. Apparently, Mr. Andersen's premature son hadn't died. He had been secretly kept hidden by the head honcho of Andersen Corporation, Morgan. The birth of his son had pulled Magnus out of his inconsolable grief over the loss of his wife, transforming his sorrow into newfound strength. He was ready to rise from the ashes, take over the reins as CEO, and take Andersen Corporation to new heights…

Of course, all of these were just rumors floating around. There was no guarantee of their authenticity.

However, when the next shareholders meeting of Andersen Corporation was held, the first news to break was enough to shake the entire city. Effective immediately, Lucius was relieved of his managerial duties, and the CEO, Magnus Andersen, would make all decisions.

The first to hear the news was the ever-vigilant media. They rushed to the Andersen Corporation headquarters, waiting eagerly at the entrance, ready to scoop up the first-hand information.

Time ticked by as the media waited. Finally, Magnus' car pulled up. Paul, his assistant, opened the door for him. Decked out in a sharp black suit, Magnus walked confidently into the Andersen Tower.

His gaze was cold and focused, completely ignoring the reporters on the side. This sent a chill down the spines of the journalists, and none dared to take a step forward.

The media, eager for the scoop, swarmed forward, not wanting to miss the opportunity. Cameras clicked, and flashes popped, surrounding Magnus completely.

"Mr. Andersen, we've heard you're taking back the CEO position at Andersen Corporation?"

"Mr. Andersen, how do you feel about your sudden resignation and, now, your return to power?"

"Mr. Andersen, rumors are that your wife and son are still alive. Can we get a glimpse of them?"

"Mr. Andersen, could you tell us briefly, what's the future of the Andersen Corporation under your leadership?"

Magnus turned around arrogantly, ignoring the cameras pointed at him. He opened his mouth and coldly said, “The CEO of the Andersen Corporation has never changed; it has always been me. And if anyone is spreading false rumors, they better be prepared for the consequences.” With that, Magnus strode past the reporters and into the Andersen Corporation building.

The media, usually bustling with excitement, were silenced by his icy demeanor. Swiftly packing up their equipment, they quietly left the premises. The Andersens held great power in Melfort. If they wanted to erase someone, it was all too easy. No one was foolish enough to risk their lives. The scandal that had initially ignited public curiosity quickly faded away.

Without the media's manipulation, the people of Melfort gradually forgot about the elite drama and went back to their daily grind.

The only person who couldn't let go was Lucius, who had briefly held the position of CEO, only to be overthrown by Magnus. His woman had disappeared, and his precious power vanished in an instant. This drastic change was more than enough to make Lucius seethe with resentment.

He never thought that Magnus, who had seemed so defeated, would suddenly play his trump card and expose Lucius’ misuse of the Andersen Corporation's funds. Without lifting a finger, Magnus had toppled Lucius from power.

Overnight, Lucius went from a well-dressed acting CEO to a pariah.
