The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 90

If it wasn't for her listening to Kyler and allowing this little brat to live in their home, she would have starved to death in some corner a long time ago.

And now? She had raised this ungrateful child, only for her to betray her and hurt Kendra, leaving Kendra physically and emotionally scarred. Unforgivable!

Natalia was taken aback when Addison's first reaction upon seeing her was to take a swing at her.

Since she married into the Andersen family as Kendra's substitute, Addison had never once asked if she was doing well. Natalia understood this. After all, Addison was her stepmother and it was only natural for her not to care about her, even hate her. Natalia never resented Addison for this. But she also said that by marrying as Kendra's substitute, she repaid the debt of gratitude she owed the Clarkson family for raising her.

For Kendra and Addison to follow her to Maplewood Manor to bully her was really crossing the line.

Addison was astonished by Natalia's newfound courage since marrying Magnus. She glared at Natalia, eyes bulging in anger, and spat, "You've got some nerve, don't you? Have you forgotten you place? Just because Kyler and some floozy had you, you think you can stand up to me?"

"Place?" Natalia's face hardened at Addison's words. For the first time in her life, she coldly stared back at Addison, "Speaking of place, perhaps you've forgotten where you are. This is Maplewood Manor, Magnus' home, not the Clarkson's. As you wished, I am now Magnus' woman. By repeatedly coming to Maplewood Manor to attack me, are you going after me or Magnus?"

In the past, to survive in the Clarkson family, Natalia had to swallow her pride. But now, she was no longer willing to be mistreated.

Addison didn't expect Natalia to use Magnus as a shield. At Natalia's words, her expression changed drastically. She stuttered, "You... don't give me that. Just because Magnus is powerful, you think he'll divorce Kendra and marry you, a bastard? I warn you. Quit daydreaming. Even if you seduce Magnus, Morgan will never accept you. Only Kendra is worthy of being his wife."

If it weren't for Natalia, her daughter Kendra wouldn't be in such a pitiful state. Addison was seething with hatred for Natalia, longing to tear her apart.

However, ever since Natalia married into the Andersen family, she seemed to have changed. She was calm and collected, a far cry from her previous docile self.

A bastard will always be a bastard, and like mother, like daughter. Addison sneered, thinking that all the obedience Natalia showed in front of them in the past was just an act.

Upon hearing Addison's harsh words, Natalia, who was usually calm, felt her eyes well up with tears. "Yes, I'm not worthy of the Andersen family. I'm just a bastard."
