The Imposter Bride

Chapter 140

Watching Magnus get up a bit unsteady on his feet, Chase knew something was off. “Magnus, are you certain you want to hit the dance floor?” Magnus looked a bit blurry–eyed and tipsy. “Dance? Why wouldn’t I? It’s the Andersen Corporation celebration dinner. Let’s get moving”

“Right, it’s just a dance. What’s the big deal?” Isabella swiftly moved to Magnus side to support his arm, leaning into him.

Magnus pushed her away “Back off, I can walk on my own”

Chase shook his head disapprovingly Magnus must be out of his mind. It was obvious to anyone that Isabella was throwing herself at him, yet he was giving her the opportunity to latch onto him

The poor guy was drunk. Normally. Magnus wouldn’t even touch a woman due to his aversion

However, Magnus was known for his hot temper, so Chase didn’t voice his concerns, instead watching them leave

On the dance floor, couples were deeply engrossed in their dances, swaying to the music.

Isabella was leaning heavily on Magnus, whispering in a way that left a lot to the imagination “Well, Magnus, you’re such a good dancer

Magnus, feeling dizzy from the alcohol, barely heard what Isabella was saying: Suddenly, he had no desire to dance anymore. Forget it, let’s go sing in a private room

This action was in line with Isabella’s intentions She wore a determined smile on her face, half– supporting Magnus as they walked towards the private room. A private space was perfect for intimate activities. She didn’t believe she couldn’t win against Natalia, that illegitimate girl

Once she became Magnus woman, everything would be under her control. She would reclaim her man

isabella, supporting Magnus, felt his muscular arm through his shirt and began to feel a feverish anticipation. She couldn’t wait to be alone with him “Let’s go, Magnus

To avoid being disturbed by others, Isabella specifically guided Magnus towards a private room.

Unbeknownst to Magnus, all this was recorded. The one recording was Kendra.

From the moment Magnus and Isabella hit the dance floor, Kendra, who came with Lucius, had been watching. She wouldn’t miss any opportunity to strike against Natalia She pulled out her phone and recorded a video of them dancing intimately, then sent it to Natalia.

Of course, she was careful when filming, trying not to capture Magnus sour face, and intentionally making the pair seem overly intimate. Especially when Magnus was dragged towards the private room by Isabella, the scene was cleverly filmed to look like they couldn’t wait to be alone.

At the same time, Natalia was discussing plans to attend a comic exhibition in France with Lexi at their mentor’s house

“Natalia, it’s perfect that we three can go together We can also visit Sabrina in France, Lexi was more than excited about the upcoming trip.

Natalia hesitated. I’m not sure if I can go.” She hadn’t discussed it with Magnus yet. She was afraid he might not let her go. Actually, she was a bit reluctant to leave Magnus After spending so much time together, despite some misunderstandings, Magnus was very affectionate towards her. She didn’t want to leave him alone for France

“Oh come on! How can you miss such a great opportunity!” Lexi playfully tackled Natalia onto the couch, tickling her. “Admit it, you don’t want to leave Mr Andersen, right?”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“No way Natalia managed to escape Lexi’s tickling, sitting up with a flushed face “That’s not true. You’re making it up.”

Really? Are you sure I’m making it up? Lexi winked at Natalia with a teasing smile. “Come on, tell me, did you and Mr. Andersen have a wild night after he carried you off last time?”

Seeing Lexi’s provoking smile, Natalia’s face turned even redder. She punched Lexi playfully. “Aren’t you a lady? How can you say such things? I’m not going to entertain your nonsense”

Just as she finished speaking her phone beeped with a new message

“Look, it must be a flirty message from your Mr. Andersen Go and enjoy Lexi’s smile grew even wider

Natalia felt even more flustered She hadnt attended the company s celebration because she didn’t like such occasions, and she was planning to participate in the art contest in France However, she didn’t know if he was upset about it. She was curious to see who would text her at this time though What if it was Magnus?

A wave of joy spread across Natalia’s heart as she took out her phone and headed towards the balcony, trying to escape Lexi’s constant teasing. She unlocked her phone and saw a new video message, surprisingly from Kendra

Why would Kendra send her anything good? Natalia was about to delete it when Lexi who had quietly followed her, snatched the phone from her hand “Let’s see what kind of sweet nothings Mr. Andersen has sent

Lexi only intended to Lease Natalia and didn’t really want to snatch the phone Natalia, trying to dodge, inadvertently opened the video that she had received but hadn’t yet deleted.

The sound of the gala’s music from the video drew both Natalia and Lexi’s attention. Due to the dim lighting on the dance flour, the video wasn’t very clear However, Natalia instantly recognized Magnus, who was dancing with Isabella

The two embraced on the dance floor, isabella in a seductive backless outfit, pressed closely against Magnus chest Magnus large hand rested on Isabella’s exposed skin

In an instant, a profound bitterness spread across Natalias heart, forming bitter fruits of sorrow. She tried to suppress the piercing pain in her heart, her hands beginning to tremble. So he was still in love with that woman. He had her in his arms because she didn’t attend the banquet, so he brought isabela as his date

A hollow laughter escaped her. Her heart felt as if a chunk had been ruthlessly gouged out, the pain

unber

So, his claim of loving only her was a lie. She was the one deceiving herself all along.

Indeed, she was not a girl from a rich family. She didn’t even dare to attend a celebration banquet. How could she ever be worthy of him, the high and mighty CEO of Andersen Corporation

Natalia swayed, her eyes desperately holding back tears as she leaned weakly against the wall behind her.

Lexi naturally watched the video too, fuming on behalf of Natalia, “This is too much! Natalia, Magnus is getting cozy with that woman again! Don’t be sad. We don’t need this kind of womanizer”

Natalia didn’t say a word. A bitter smile crossed her face, masking her own humiliation. Her heart was silently weeping, the pain so intense she didn’t even have the strength to cry out loud.

Looking at Natalia’s smile, which was worse than crying, Lexi opened her arms and hugged the girl, gently patting Natalia’s shoulder, “Natalia, don’t be too upset. If you want to cry, just let it out. Don’t keep it in your heart. It’s really not worth it for this kind of unfaithful man.”
