The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 72

If Magnus bore a grudge against Kendra for forcing Natalia to take her place at the altar, then she could

apologize. Regardless, she was determined that the prestigious title of Mrs. Andersen, the CEO of

Andersen Corporation, would never fall into the hands of a cunning woman like Natalia.

What right did Natalia, the illegitimate child, have to compete against Kendra? If it weren't for Kendra's

generous heart, providing Natalia with food and shelter from their childhood, Natalia would probably

have starved in some desolate corner.

However, Magnus was already furious due to Kendra's presence. When Kendra had the audacity to

insult Natalia in front of him, his expression darkened. His icy gaze, sharp as a blade, was directed at

Kendra, who was fuming with anger.

The next moment, Magnus picked up his pen from the desk and threw it at the shouting Kendra. His Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

throw was so accurate and powerful that the ordinary pen seemed like an arrow flying straight at

Kendra.

"Ah!" Kendra screamed as the pen pierced her chest. The intense pain turned Kendra's face pallid, and

blood began to seep from the wound, staining her white dress with a blossoming red flower.

Kendra, who had been making a scene moments ago, was stunned by Magnus' action. She had

already experienced his ruthlessness. And today, despite her best efforts to impress him, he had not

even given her a second glance. Instead, he had stabbed her with a pen!

She stared at Magnus, seated behind his desk. His expression was grim, as if he was ready to commit

murder with horrified-looking eyes. She had underestimated this man, who had been wheelchair-bound

for nine years, thinking him weak.

Now, she realized, in this city, even in the entire country, where the Andersen family could control

everything, the most terrifying man was not Lucius, known for his ruthlessness, but Magnus!

Kyler, who was standing by the side, was equally shocked. He hadn't expected Magnus, who hadn't

even moved from his chair, to injure Kendra with a pen from a distance. With his voice trembling, he

apologized to Magnus, "I'm sorry, Mr. Andersen, please don't be angry. Kendra... she didn't mean it..."

If Magnus really wanted Kendra's life because of her actions, he wouldn't be able to do anything.

Magnus was different from Lucius. He didn't know much about Magnus, and his powerful aura made

his skin crawl whenever he was around him.

But before Kyler could finish his apology, Magnus spoke in a cold voice, "Is she ignorant or arrogant!

You didn't follow through with anything I asked you to. It seems like I don’t have to be polite to you

anymore!"

He was disappointed in Kyler for not being able to control his own daughter. He had planned to let

Kyler off the hook for Natalia's sake, but his incompetence was the main reason why Natalia was

suffering.

Kendra, recovering from the shock, was trembling as she stared at the pen embedded in her chest and

the blood seeping out. She grabbed Kyler's hand and sobbed. "Dad... what should I do? Am I going to

die? I don't want to die..."

Kyler, already distressed, was at a loss for words. He tried to comfort his terrified daughter while

gauging Magnus' reaction. "I'm sorry, Mr. Andersen, I'm sorry..." he stuttered, not knowing what else to

say.

He kept apologizing, fearing Magnus' wrath might’ve cost Kendra her life. He was on the verge of

kneeling and begging Magnus to let them go. Without immediate medical attention, the pen lodged so

deep in Kendra's chest would cause her to bleed out!

However, Magnus was not satisfied with Kyler's apology. He loosened his tie and spoke leisurely,

"Normally, I don't have a habit of hitting women. But when it comes to those who mistreat my wife, it's a

different story. Consider this a second warning to you and your daughter. If there's a third time, don't

blame me for not warning you! Now, get out!"

If it weren't for Kendra refusing to divorce him, there wouldn't have been so many misunderstandings

between him and Natalia. He had suffered every time Natalia distanced herself from him because of

Kendra, his legal wife. Therefore, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't take Kendra's life if she

continued to refuse the divorce.

Upon hearing Magnus' words, Kyler realized that he had been spared once again, all thanks to Natalia.

Kyler stuttered, nodding his head rapidly. "Yes, Mr. Andersen. I'll get right on that. I apologize. We are

leaving now. I'm really sorry."

With that, he supported Kendra, who was staggering, to the door.

Kendra, on the other hand, was sobbing uncontrollably, shaking with fear, while Kyler dragged her

straight out of Magnus’ office.

Once Kyler and Kendra had left, the rattled Magnus didn't waste much time. He immediately headed to

a meeting in his office, completely indifferent to whether Kendra would go to the hospital or not.

Magnus had told Natalia that morning that he would only be working half a day. He planned to return

home in the afternoon and have her give him a massage. So when lunchtime rolled around, Magnus

had Linden drive him back to Maplewood Manor.

"You've been reading these books all this time, Natalia?" James asked with a grin, holding one of

Natalia's usual reads in the grand hall of Maplewood Manor.
