The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 64

"Seems like you, Mr. Clarkson, are totally unaware that two days ago, Kendra had my wife kidnapped and whisked off to England. In the process, she was intercepted by the police and my wife was pushed into the ocean! Are you telling me that you, as her father, had no idea about any of this?"

"What? Natalia fell into the sea? Is she... alright?" Kyler shot up from his seat. His hands started to shake. Natalia couldn't be in any danger!

"If she were, I would've done more than just invite you here today!" Magnus lifted his head, his icy gaze laced with a wild, hostile air.

"I could send Kendra to jail today with the evidence I have, and let her rot in there for a decade or more. But, I am considering the respect I have for you, Mr. Clarkson. That's why I have asked you to handle this matter. I hope you can offer me a satisfactory response. And one more thing, I want to put an end to this absurd marriage with Kendra! I hope you will expedite the divorce proceedings between Kendra and me! Should you continue to delay, I can't guarantee whether I will become a widower or get a divorce first!"

His steely gaze bore into Kyler, and the unfathomable coldness in his eyes made Kyler shiver to the core.

"Rest assured, Mr. Andersen, I will discipline Kendra this time. Thank you for your mercy. I will provide you with an answer." Kyler rose to leave.

"Mr. Clarkson!" Magnus called after him.

He stopped at the door and turned to face Magnus.

"Natalia is my woman, and I won't allow anyone to bully her!" Magnus' gaze was surging with a hidden storm.

Kyler nodded and quickly exited, his heart pounding in his chest. He could feel the murderous intent radiating off Magnus.

At the Clarkson's mansion, Kyler stormed in, with the servants lowering their heads in deference. "Sir."

"Call Kendra down here!" His voice was laced with an indescribable rage.

"Yes, sir!" The servant could sense the brewing storm within the house.

Upon hearing her father wanted to see her, Kendra nervously descended the staircase. "Father!" She walked over to the couch, looking at the furious Kyler, a sense of fear creeping over her.

"Slap!" Kyler stood up and landed a heavy slap on her face before she could react. Her perfect skin instantly bore the mark of his palm. Kendra looked at Kyler in disbelief. She had never seen her father hit her before.

"Father! Why did you hit me?" She cried out loudly.

The commotion brought Addison out of her room. "What's going on?"

"What's going on? Ask her what she's done! She dared to kidnap Natalia and even threw her into the sea! Is this the daughter you raised? She even tried to harm her own sister!" Kyler pointed at Kendra, his hand trembling.

Addison widened her eyes at Kyler. "What nonsense are you spouting? Kendra wouldn't even hurt a fly, how could she possibly kidnap Natalia!"

Kyler glared at Addison. "Ask her yourself. If it weren't for my intervention today, Magnus would have already sent her to jail!"

Addison turned to Kendra. "Kendra, is this true? Did you really do this?" She couldn't believe her precious daughter could do such a thing. It must have been that wretched Natalia who framed her!

"Yes! It was me, I wanted her dead!" Kendra covered her face, glaring at Kyler fiercely.
