Chapter 77
Chapter 77
Their grandfather was very determined, so this time, no matter what Carter did, it was already set in
stone.
"You guys..." Carter was already fuming. Not only did they offer him no comfort, but they also teased
him, which made him so angry that his face turned red. He couldn't vent his anger at Magnus, so he
just bowed his head in silence.
James, who was enjoying Carter's misfortune, couldn't resist adding fuel to the fire. He commented,
"Poor lad, he hasn't even tasted the sweet flavor of love yet, and he's about to walk straight into the
graveyard of marriage."
Down in the lobby, the atmosphere was weird due to Carter's impending marriage.
After spending some intimate moments upstairs, a cheerful Magnus slowly emerged from the elevator.
He saw the usually stoic Carter, visibly upset. He wheeled over to Carter's side, took a sip of his freshly
brewed coffee, and asked, "What's up? What happened?"
Before a sulky Carter could answer, the nosy James jumped in, "Carter is being forced to marry Miss
Shaw from the Shaw family by his grandfather. The girl has already been sent to his villa in France.
That's probably why he suddenly fled back home."
They knew Carter's temper well. Although he loved to show off, he had a golden heart. They figured he
couldn't bear to be harsh to Miss Shaw, which was why he had run off.
"Oh, it's just a marriage, why the hassle?" Upon hearing James’ remark, Magnus suddenly
remembered his own love story with Natalia.
He couldn't help but smile tenderly at Carter. "Is Miss Shaw so unattractive that you have to run away?"
"It's not about her being unattractive. I haven't even met her," Carter replied, feeling hopeless.
He sincerely said to the three indifferent men, "I have never met this Miss Shaw, and I don't have any
feelings for her. If I just married her like this, wouldn't it be irresponsible to both her and myself?" Carter
looked at Magnus for help.
He pleaded, "Magnus, you understand me best. If it were you, would you marry a woman you knew
nothing about? Please talk to my grandfather. I remember he likes you. There's no way I'm marrying
that girl."
However, Magnus was surprisingly indifferent to Carter's distress. He said casually, "If it were the old
days, I would agree with you. But now... I think you should just get married first. You might develop
feelings after you spend some time together. Just like me and my wife, isn't that right?"
He used to hate Natalia when he thought she was Kendra, but now he'd completely changed. He'd
fallen in love with her.
So, sometimes, fate could be trusted.
Chase, who was sipping his coffee and enjoying the drama, was shocked to hear Magnus advising
Carter to marry Miss Shaw. He choked on his coffee, shocked by Magnus' change of character.
And Carter, who was determined to annul the marriage, felt hopeless when even Magnus didn't support
him. He stood up furiously. "Fine, you won't help me, so I'll go back to France right now. I'm Carter, a
reputable CEO, I won't lose to a little girl! I'll make her ask for the annulment. You just wait and see!"
After saying that, an angry Carter stormed out of Maplewood Manor.
James, who had never seen Carter so irate before, couldn't help but worry. "Should we just let him be?
He won't do anything rash, right?" Although Carter was a competent CEO, James still worried about Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
him.
Magnus, however, was more composed. "Don't worry, Carter knows his limits."
Meanwhile, in the city's largest hospital, Addison was anxiously waiting outside the emergency room.
She glared at Kyler, who was standing idly by, and yelled, "Kyler, are you even a man? You can't even
handle your own daughter's marriage! Kendra has been humiliated by that bastard Magnus time and
time again. What kind of father are you!"
Initially, Kendra insisted on going to the Andersen Corporation with Kyler to confront Magnus. Addison
was against it at first, as she was still scared from the last time Kendra approached Magnus. However,
Kendra's persistent begging eventually won her over. She thought that with Kyler there, Magnus
wouldn't dare to disrespect the Clarkson family.
But to her surprise, not only was Kyler useless, but Kendra also got hurt even worse than the last time.
How could she not be angry?
"Enough! This is a hospital, not your living room. You can’t throw a tantrum anywhere you want!" Kyler
was already heartbroken and troubled enough with Kendra in such a state. And yet, Addison was still
here, constantly causing a ruckus, how could he bear it?
Eventually, an especially angry Kyler, shouted at Addison, "I tell you, if it wasn't for you spoiling Kendra
from a young age, raising her to believe that the world revolves around her, none of this would have
happened today!
"You asked Natalia to marry Magnus in Kendra's place, and now you want to go back on your words.
It's one thing to think you can push Natalia around, but do you think Magnus is as easy to manipulate?
"I'm telling you, no matter how much Kendra kicks up a fuss this time, if she doesn't divorce Magnus,
she'll eventually lose her life!"
Today, in the CEO's office at Andersen Corporation, Kyler finally got a clear picture of Magnus' true
colors. Each and every one of these Andersen family members was a tough character; they were
certainly not ordinary folks.
