The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel 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.

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 Natalia's 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 Isabella as his date.

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

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."
