The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 97

Magnus used his wheelchair, bullied by Lucius, and repeatedly thrown into danger, It just broke her

heart, and she wanted to help him so much. She swore she would make him stand up, even if it meant

she would eventually have to leave.

Natalia was unsure when exactly she'd become smitten with Magnus, gradually losing herself in him.

And finally, from Natalia's lips, came the words he'd been longing to hear.

Magnus was ecstatic. He leaned down, giving her a deep kiss.

The room was filled with sounds that could make anyone blush.

Natalia surely had a restless night.

The next morning, a refreshed Magnus came down from the upstairs, while Natalia was still deep in

sleep.

Chase and James, as they did every morning, arrived punctually with a doctor in tow. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

As the doctor was changing Magnus' bandages, he noticed a fresh wound on his back and advised,

"Mr. Andersen, brace yourself. There's some bleeding. It might hurt."

By all accounts, Magnus' injuries had been healing for quite a while. There should have been no

spontaneous bleeding.

Hearing the doctor's words, James and Chase exchanged glances.

The mischievous James couldn't help but tease, "Oh, Magnus, you must have had quite a time with

Natalia last night. But you can't ignore your own health. You're still injured, man."

They used to joke that among the four of them, Magnus, the most capable, would be the last to lose his

virginity.

But now, he was the first to get married, and he constantly flaunted his happiness.

No wonder James wanted to tease him. Even Chase was struggling to keep a straight face.

When Magnus heard James's comments, he lifted his head and gave James a cold look before saying,

"The other day, your father called me, asking me to remind you to get married when you have time. I

think he's very concerned about you. Maybe you should accept the offer?"

James, known throughout Melfort for his charm and wealth, had always been the dream lover of many

girls.

Despite his playboy lifestyle, there were still many women who would willingly throw themselves at him.

But this time, the woman James's father had chosen for him was far from desirable.

Though it was a family alliance, the woman was extremely unattractive.

James's father, looking down on his good-for-nothing son, thought any woman willing to marry him was

good enough. Beauty didn't matter; he just wanted a grandchild.

Desperate to break off the engagement, James was almost willing to take drastic measures.

So when James joked about Magnus and Natalia, he had it coming.

Indeed, when Magnus mentioned the arranged marriage, James, who had been grinning, instantly lost

his composure.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Magnus, that was a low blow! This is about my happiness, man. You can't just

throw me into the fire pit like that."

Being forced to marry that ugly girl was worse than death.

James had been surrounded by beautiful women his entire life. He couldn't bear the thought of

spending the rest of his life with an unattractive woman.

Chase, standing beside them, couldn't help but laugh at James's misfortune. He thought to himself,

“This guy never stood a chance against Magnus. He brought it on himself.”

But Magnus replied indifferently at James’s plea, "You don't have to get married if you don't want to. It

depends on your future actions."

Lucius had tried to kill him multiple times. Magnus couldn't take it anymore and decided to confront

Lucius.

He had thought about it for a while. If he was going to strike, he’d eliminate both Lucius and the gold-

digging Kendra.

After all, birds of a feather flock together.

Lucius and Kendra were both disgusting. Let them be disgusting together.

"Fine, fine. Just tell me what you want. I'll do anything, but please, don't joke about my marriage. It's

about my future happiness."

Upon hearing Magnus' words, James agreed readily.

He was determined not to marry that ugly girl. If his father wanted a grandchild, he could marry

someone himself.

He’d rather be stuck in the Death Desert for months than marry that girl.

Seeing James's determination, Magnus and Chase couldn't help but laugh, clearly teasing him.

Everyone knew what kind of person Magnus was. He might talk tough, but he was always there for his

friends.

James protested, "Hey, what are you laughing at? Are you guys messing with me?"

He was already in a tough spot with the arranged marriage. If it weren't for his mother's concern and

Magnus' injury, he would've fled to Europe by now.

Why couldn't his friends show some sympathy, instead of constantly making his life more difficult?

Ignoring James's protests, Chase turned to Magnus and asked, "Are you planning to take action,

Magnus? I've checked in with Morgan. His health’s been stable lately. If we keep him in the dark, we

should be able to carry out our plan."

Chase simply couldn't stand by and watch as Lucius repeatedly used his malicious tactics against

Magnus, time and time again.

Magnus, considering Morgan's well-being, just refused to fight back.

If things continued this way, with Lucius' wicked schemes, Magnus would surely meet his doom sooner

or later.

Upon hearing Chase's question, Magnus fell silent for a moment.

Then he spoke up, "Chase, I need you to gather my confidants I have placed inside Andersen

Corporation.

"Gather all the illicit activities Lucius is involved in. Pick a few that won't jeopardize Andersen

Corporation, and organize them for me.

"James, aren't you well-acquainted with the media back home? Find the right opportunity to expose

Lucius' decadent private life. Give him and Kendra, some fame to chew on."
