The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 317

Just then, hurried footsteps echoed from the entrance, and the security guards sauntered over, yanking Michael by the arm as they escorted him out.

"Mr. Andersen, please show mercy! Forgive us, please!" Michael's voice gradually faded into the distance until it was no longer audible.

The CEO's office was once again quiet. Magnus stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, silently observing the world outside.

James broke the silence. "Magnus, what's our next move?"

"Wait. Isabella will show up soon."

Sure enough, just as Michael was forced out of Andersen Corporation, Isabella found herself in Magnus' office the very next day.

Magnus had deliberately pressured the Simmons Group, hoping to corner Isabella. But as he gazed at the venomous woman standing in front of him, he felt a bitter taste of irony. He had allowed this woman to wreak havoc on his life.

Facing the fully-recovered and imposing Magnus, a hint of despair flashed in Isabella's eyes. She had known all along that he would find out about her true identity once he woke up.

It's just because she wasn't ruthless enough. If she had been, how could she have given Natalia the antidote to revive him? She still loved him after all.

"If it weren't for my mercy, you wouldn't be alive right now! And instead of being grateful, you are tormenting my parents. You are heartless!" Isabella yelled defiantly, her eyes set on Magnus' icy ones.

"Mercy?" Magnus scoffed. "Isabella, you've always had a knack for twisting the truth. Did you save me? Tell me, who poisoned me in the first place?"

Faced with Magnus' accusations, Isabella faltered, but quickly regained her composure. "Yes, I poisoned you. But only because you refused to accept my love. After all these years, you've only repaid me with cruelty. You forced my father and me to cut ties, leaving me penniless. And now, even though I've returned, you still don't love me. Magnus, I wonder if you have a heart at all! I acted impulsively by poisoning you. But didn't I give you the antidote in the end? And you, you're relentless and relentless, pushing our Simmons Group to bankruptcy but still not willing to let it go. I may be in the wrong, but I don't want my parents to end up on the streets. Magnus, why are you so ruthless! You and I are the same kind of people!"
