The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Upon hearing James' words, Magnus didn't respond immediately. Instead, he replied leisurely, "It's not the right time to settle the score. But we can teach him a lesson. Keep him in line for a while."

Even though Chase and James understood Magnus' feelings, upon hearing him say this, Chase was still worried. "We know you're worried about your grandfather, Magnus. But Lucius has tried to kill you over and over again. You can't always be this lucky.

So, I think you shouldn't hesitate anymore. Lucius is a scumbag who is capable of anything. Keeping him around will only bring trouble."

It was within Magnus' power to deal with Lucius; it was simply a matter of whether he wanted to or not.

Seeing Magnus' unwillingness to act, James could only fret.

Every time he left his business in Europe to come back, he thought he could clean up that scumbag, but nothing substantial ever happened.

This time, Magnus was seriously injured, and Linden was unconscious.

If it weren't for Natalia, who bravely and stubbornly hung on, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

Hearing his two best friends' advice, Magnus fell silent for a moment before saying, "I understand. Lucius will be dealt with sooner or later, but now is not the time."

James was furious at Magnus' repeated retreats.

Magnus still cared too much about his family and couldn't let go of his grandfather.

Chase and James had no choice but to glance at each other and reluctantly say, "Then whatever you decide to do, just let us handle it."

And at this moment, in the VIP ward of the city's largest hospital.

Upon seeing the document her father, Kyler, had given her, Kendra was so angry she nearly jumped out of bed.

She yelled at Kyler, "Dad, why are you giving me this? Why? I won't sign it, I absolutely refuse!

I've said it before, no matter what, I am Magnus' wife. If you pressure me, I'll end my life right here!"

Kendra had intentionally gotten close to Lucius from a young age, just to become the wife of the sole heir to the Andersen Corporation.

She even lost her virginity to him at the tender age of seventeen.

All these years of painstaking efforts were just for the day when Lucius would marry her and give her everything she desired. However, she never expected that in the end, everything she planned would fall apart.

Lucius, the useless weakling, couldn't even defeat a cripple. What a waste of her youth and sacrifices.

Luckily, through some twist of fate, she was legally the wife of the CEO of Andersen Corporation. At least half of her efforts weren't in vain.

But now, her dearest father was forcing her to sign the divorce agreement in front of her.

Of course, Kendra refused, and a heated argument ensued.

"It's not up to you now. I'm telling you, Magnus is not someone we can afford to offend. If you know what's good for you, you'll sign the document. Otherwise, our entire family, even our company, will suffer because of you."

Magnus had already given Kyler a final warning. The only reason he was lenient was probably because of Natalia. But Addison and Kendra foolishly thought that Magnus was reluctant.

They didn't even consider that the Andersen brothers wanted nothing more than each other's downfall.

And Kendra was Lucius' woman. How could Magnus possibly be interested in her?

Despite her threats to end her life, Kyler remained firm.

Seeing her father so heartless, Kendra, sitting on the hospital bed, started to cry.

While crying, she said, "Dad, are you really that afraid of Magnus? Or is it because deep down, you still favor Natalia, that illegitimate daughter of yours over me?

"Do you think that as long as Natalia secures her position as the wife of Andersen Corporation's CEO, it doesn't matter if my future is ruined?

"I'm your and mom's daughter. Am I really worth less than the bastard child you had with some slut?"

Growing up, Kendra had always been the apple of everyone's eye.

Which lady in this city could compare to her? They were all plain, without substance, only fit to stand in her shadow.

But she never thought that at the most critical moment, she would be overshadowed by Natalia, that damned bitch. How could she swallow this bitter pill?

Just like her mother, Addison, Kendra was always quick to curse when she was angry.

Watching Kendra like this, Kyler was burning with anger.

He was speechless for a moment, then furiously walked over to her. He raised his hand and slapped her hard across the face. H

e yelled at her, "If you don't sign this divorce agreement, from today onwards, you can get out of the Clarkson family.

If I can't control you, then you can go and fight with Magnus yourself. I will not risk my lifetime's work for your whims!" After a pause, Kyler sternly looked at his stunned daughter, "Is it the hollow title of CEO's wife that you want, or your life? Choose!"

Her usually gentle father actually raise his hand to hit her!

Kendra, who had been slapped in the face, covered her face in shock. She stared at Kyler incredulously.

She was greatly shocked, then said, "Dad, you actually hit me and want to kick me out? Even if it costs me my life, I'll never divorce Magnus!"

Addison, who had gone out to inquire about Kendra's health, just got to the room when she heard Kendra's outburst.

She rushed in hastily, watching the argument taking place in the ward room between Kendra and Kyler. Then, she approached the emotionally charged Kendra and asked softly,

"Kendra, sweetie, calm down. What on earth has happened? Don't worry, mom is here. I will make things right."

"Mom," Kendra burst into tears upon seeing Addison. "Dad is forcing me to sign the divorce papers. He doesn't want me to be Mrs. Andersen.

He even threatened to kick me out if I don't agree. I can't stand it, mom. I will never sign those papers!"

Whatever Kendra couldn't possess, she wouldn't allow others to have either. If she couldn't have it, then others can forget about it too.

Especially not Natalia, that damned brat.

"What?" Addison couldn't believe her ears. She had only been gone for a short while and that damn Kyler had already made his way to the ward room to upset their daughter. Upon hearing Kendra's words, Addison's face turned ashen.
