The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 29

Magnus tightened his grip, "With grandpa here, I have to come back. Besides, if I'm not mistaken, this old mansion should be in my name, Lucius."

Lucius turned pale, shooting a venomous gaze at Magnus. He scoffed, "Well, Magnus, it's just an old mansion, no big deal. I'll give you whatever you want. After all, you're the one who can't walk, right?"

Natalia, hearing the brothers' heated exchange, her heart ached for Magnus. If only he could stand, he wouldn't have to endure all these sneers. She shot Lucius a disgusted look, causing him to flinch slightly. She didn't say a word to him, instead, she pushed Magnus into the elevator.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, Natalia looked up to see Lucius' smirk growing wider. Inside the elevator, Magnus' cold demeanor caused Natalia's heart to ache even more. She gently placed her hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry, you'll be able to stand one day."

Magnus paused for a moment, his expression softened. This girl still cared for others even though she herself was in a tough spot.

They ate dinner quietly under Morgan's stern gaze. After dinner, Natalia was about to take Magnus for a walk when Morgan called out to her, "Kendra, come to my study, I have something to discuss with you."

Natalia hesitated for a moment, but before she could agree, Magnus interrupted, "Grandpa, can't it wait for a few days? My wife just arrived. She's still getting used to the place." He added, holding onto her hand.

Morgan looked at Magnus, protecting Natalia like a mother hen, a pang of pain surged in his heart. His beloved grandson was still oblivious that his wife was an imposter. He would get to the bottom of this. If the Clarksons had intentionally switched brides, using this girl to replace their own daughter, he would make sure Kyler would disappear from Melfort.

"Magnus, relax. I just want to talk to Kendra. I won't give her a hard time." Morgan turned and walked upstairs. Natalia gave Magnus' hand a reassuring squeeze, "I'll be back soon."

Magnus was about to say something, but Natalia was already following Morgan into the elevator.

Lucius, sitting on the sofa, smirked mockingly.

"Lucius, could you please push me outside for a walk?" Magnus asked, just as Lucius was about to stand up and head upstairs.

Lucius was taken aback, but then he smiled, "Sure, I'm surprised you're in the mood for a stroll."

The brothers found themselves beneath the magnolia tree where they had been before. The weather was slightly chilly in the evening, "Remember when you purposely let your wheelchair roll down from here, and grandpa was furious? Magnus, I didn't expect you to be so cunning. You purposely let Morgan see. Because of that, he warned me again, and if I dared to harm you, he would never let me inherit the CEO position of Andersen Corporation. Ha, he really said that, but who else is capable of being the CEO of Andersen Corporation if not me?"

"You're crippled, and even if Morgan wanted to have you become the CEO, you don't have the strength. Ha ha ha…" Lucius laughed without restraint.

Magnus remained unfazed by his words, he glanced indifferently at the study window on the second floor.
