The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 45

The room fell into a hush, with everyone holding their breath in anticipation as Morgan prepared to announce the name.

Lucius, as if already sure of the outcome, nonchalantly adjusted his collar, leaning forward slightly, ready to ascend the stage and accept the congratulations.

Morgan's gaze slowly drifted towards Lucius, then away from him.

At that moment, the conference room door creaked open. Linden, pushing a wheelchair, entered the room, followed by Morgan's assistant, Paul.

Morgan's eyes lit up as they fell on the man in the wheelchair. He was dressed in a dark suit and his handsome features were highlighted, giving off an aura of wisdom. His wheelchair slowly rolled over the golden confetti on the floor, and he steadily came into everyone's view. His sharp gaze swept over the shareholders, eventually landing on Lucius. A coy smile played on his lips as he turned to the silver-haired old man beside him.

"Grandpa, I've come back to the Andersen Corporation."

Morgan felt a surge of emotion as he looked at his grandson in the wheelchair, whom he'd always held close to his heart. He had grown up! With a sudden surge of energy, Morgan rose to his feet and declared, "The new leader of the group is — Magnus!"

The room fell into an eerie silence. Everyone's gaze shifted to Magnus, then to Lucius.

Lucius had been panicking since the moment Magnus had rolled in, but he held firm to the belief that, no matter how much Morgan loved the handicapped Magnus, he couldn't possibly hand the presidency to him.

But then he heard Magnus' name!

He thought he had misheard it. It wasn't until everyone started looking at him that he realized Magnus was indeed the one whose name Morgan had announced.

He staggered to his feet. His eyes were darting to Morgan in disbelief. "Grandpa, what did you say? Did you get the name wrong?"

He stood up, fists clenched tightly. He couldn't believe what was happening. He'd worked tirelessly for nine years, building up his power. It couldn't possibly end today!

Anthony, seeing Lucius on the verge of losing control, quickly interjected, "Dad, you said the new president was going to be Lucius, right? Why would you announce Magnus as the new president today? This is not a time for joke, Magnus hasn't been involved with the company for years, and he's been living on Sapphire Island. This could lead to unrest."

Morgan's icy gaze landed on Anthony. He knew his son and daughter-in-law had always favored Lucius. "Who said the presidency had to go to Lucius? Before, Magnus didn't want to come back to Andersen Corporation. Now he has, and I think he's more suited for the presidency than Lucius is."

Anthony looked at Morgan and fell silent.

Whispers filled the room. Everyone watched the power struggle unfold.

Morgan's authoritative gaze swept over the shareholders. "I've decided who the new president will be. It's Magnus. Lucius will be vice president. Anthony will be the general manager of Andersen Corporation. Everything else remains the same." He gestured to the man in the wheelchair. "Magnus, come here."
