The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel 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 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!"

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.
