The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 112

At the Golden Groove, the music was ear-splitting inside the private rooms. Countless men and women were intoxicated by the dazzling lights and the aroma of the booze. But the largest and most luxurious private room was completely insulated from the outside noise, thanks to its high-end soundproofing equipment.

"Magnus, are you sure about this? Sending Kendra to deal with Lucius?"

James took a swig of his drink, and leisurely looked at Magnus who was sitting in their midst, whose eyes were brimming with satisfaction.

Despite his faith in Magnus' intellectual prowess, James still felt this strategy was out of character for his friend. After all, Lucius was not someone who fought with kids gloves.

Would using Kendra against him, a woman who had been involved with Lucius for so many years, be effective?

In James' opinion, they should have assembled a team of experts from their organization and armed them with high-end weaponry to make Swiss cheese out of that bastard, Lucius. That sounded more like it.

Upon hearing James' comments, Magnus, who had been leisurely sipping his drink, suddenly burst into laughter. Lifting his head to look at James, he said, "When have I ever joked about these matters with you guys? My methods may differ from Lucius' methods, but they are certainly not any less potent than his foolish antics."

Sensing Magnus' confidence, Chase, who sat quietly on the side, nodded, and said, "Regardless of the outcome, it's worth a try. The idea is to break Lucius from the inside and lead him down a path of self-destruction. Just imagine how terrifying it would be for a man to be betrayed by his own woman!"

While he didn't fully comprehend why Magnus decided to use Kendra for this task, neither did he think that the brute force approach advocated by James was any more sophisticated than Lucius' antics. If real guns and bullets were sufficient, Lucius wouldn't be alive today. Magnus simply wanted to lead Lucius to his own downfall out of respect for his grandfather.

"But I still think it's not the best approach," James interjected. He did not want to contradict Magnus but was genuinely concerned about wasting a golden opportunity to deal with Lucius. He was itching to get his hands dirty.

However, seeing Magnus' piercing gaze fall on him, he felt a chill run down his spine. In a rush, he added, "I mean, Kendra has been with Lucius for so many years. What if she disobeys orders or changes her mind midway? Wouldn't all our efforts go to waste?"

In his view, the most straightforward and effective solution was to get rid of Lucius once and for all. Lucius had committed countless atrocities, and he'd been itching to deal with him for a long time.

Magnus wasn't worried. In fact, he laughed at James' concern. He drained his glass of its contents and then confidently stated, "Kendra will not back out. She still yearns for the title of Mrs. Andersen; she wanted to be the CEO's wife."

If Kendra had any feelings for Lucius, how could she have switched sides and started cozying up to him as soon as Lucius lost the fight for the CEO's position?

Kendra was a woman blinded by vanity and greed, oblivious to her own shortcomings. The reason he chose to use her against Lucius was merely to add some drama to the whole scenario. And he was certain that Kendra didn't have the guts to cross him.

After James heard Chase's words, he was about to scoff when Magnus, who had reached the door of the room in his wheelchair, stopped, and turned around. With an approving look in his eyes, he said to Chase, "That's a good suggestion. It'll save me the trouble of traveling this far. Next time, just come over to Maplewood Manor."

After speaking his piece, Magnus didn't say anything more. He walked straight out of the private room, through the door that was held open by the waiter. Then he disappeared from sight, leaving a somewhat stunned James and Chase in his wake.

"That's a bit much, isn't it?" James finally said, watching Magnus leave.

At his words, Chase, who had been quietly nursing his drink, looked up with a puzzled expression on his face. Then he said, "You, the playboy of this game we call life, wouldn't understand what true love is. Our boss has found the real deal."

Meanwhile, Magnus was waiting for Kendra to make a move.

Kendra, having received a call from Magnus' assistant, was getting a bit anxious. She was afraid that the deadline Magnus had given her wouldn't be enough time to get things done.

After hanging up, she quickly got out of bed, not daring to waste any more time. She put on her best outfit, made herself up meticulously, and set out to find Lucius.
