Chapter 117
A sly smile crept up the corners of Magnus' mouth, eventually breaking into a satisfied grin. He lifted
his head and looked at Kendra with a smirk. "Alright, you can leave now."
Since he had achieved his goal, this woman could go back and sit tight. Her fate was sealed.
His wife had been bullied by this woman since childhood, and the last time, Natalia was almost
drowned in the ocean by Kendra. He had vowed to settle this score with her, no matter what.
"Leave? But Magnus, didn't you say that if I helped you get the evidence of Lucius' illegal activities, you
wouldn't divorce me?"
She handed over the hard-earned evidence to Magnus, and he simply asked her to leave without a
word. Unsure of what Magnus meant, Kendra was somewhat uneasy. She wondered if Magnus thought
the evidence was insufficient, and wasn't going to give her a chance.
But it shouldn't have been the case. The issues seemed serious enough to her.
She thought that once she handed over the recorder to Magnus, he would kick Natalia out of the
Maplewood Manor. Then she would be brought in with all honor. After all, Natalia was just a useless
decoration, while she was the one assisting Magnus. But why was it that Magnus hadn't said anything
and was trying to kick her out?
"So? You think I'll bring you back home right away, Kendra? You think you are still qualified to be my
wife? You've been messed up by Lucius, and frankly, I feel dirty talking to you. You also had someone
kidnap Natalia, intending to take her life. You think I will let these things slide and still bring you home
and support you?"
Magnus remembered all these things. The reason he didn't bring them up was that he was waiting to
settle all accounts with her at once.
But when Magnus said this, Kendra, who just thought she could finally become the rightful wife of the
CEO of Andersen Corporation, instantly turned pale. She looked at Magnus. Her face was flustered as
she clutched her dress tightly. "Magnus, you can't do this. I was with Lucius like that to complete your
task. I didn't mean it! I know I was wrong to kidnap Natalia before. I can apologize, can't you let it go?
"I'm sorry. It was out of jealousy, because I am your wife. Why wouldn't she leave? That’s why I had
Natalia kidnapped. You can't break our agreement because of my momentary mistake."
Where did things go wrong? Why did the words she and Magnus agreed on before change now? Did
Natalia do something behind her back?
No, she absolutely couldn't let her succeed. She had to marry this man and take the position of Mrs.
Andersen. The position of the CEO's wife of Andersen Corporation was hers, and no one could take it
away!
Magnus couldn't help but laugh coldly. He said languidly, "Unfortunately, your jealousy and stupidity
have completely disgusted me! I said I wouldn't divorce you just to see what tricks you could play. I
didn't expect you to actually betray the man you loved for so many years. If I married you, I would
probably not dare to sleep at night, because your viciousness is unmatched.
"Now that the recording is in hand, you no longer have value left!" He finished, looking mockingly at the
dumbfounded woman standing there.
With this recording, he could lead Magnus to his doom. By then, neither his grandparents nor his
parents would blame him. What he found amusing was Kendra, this stupid woman. He was just playing
with her, and she took it very seriously.
"You...you've been deceiving me from the start?" Kendra never expected Magnus to say that.
Standing there, Kendra stared at him wide-eyed, her face full of disbelief. How could this be? Magnus
was so serious when he talked to her at the beginning. She really thought Magnus had feelings for her,
and that was why he changed his mind.
Why had it turned out like this in the end?
Thinking about how hard she worked to get these words out of Lucius' mouth in the past few days, only
to end up like this, it was so disappointing.
"Heh, deceive you?" Magnus scoffed. He didn't even want to look at this evil and stupid woman! "You're
wrong, I didn't deceive you. I just played with you. Like when you played me and had someone else
marry me. Although you tricked me then, I still have to thank you for bringing Nat to me. Get lost, go NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
back and kindly get divorced, or I'll have to use special methods! Then, you’ll decide, what’s more
important to you, your life, or the position of Mrs. Andersen? Hmm?"
If Kendra didn't divorce him and relinquish the position of his wife to Natalia, he had ways to make
Kendra have no choice but to divorce him. If she continued to cling on, he would use extreme
measures. He was never kind when it came to certain things.
Hearing Magnus' words, Kendra finally believed that what he said was true. Kendra, who was on the
verge of collapse and unwilling to lose the position she wanted, didn't think twice before rushing to
Magnus and gripping his arm tightly. "No, Magnus, you can't do this to me.
"Because of what you said, I went to Lucius. I framed him to let him say those words. If he finds out,
knowing Lucius' personality, he won't let me go.
"No matter what, I'm still your wife in name, you can't just stand by and watch me die! Magnus..."
Kendra, who was emotional, was interrupted by Magnus' dismissive wave, and she stumbled back a
few steps and hit the office desk.
Magnus' icy eyes fell on her face, and his expression was of disgust obvious.
Natalia clung to the desk, frozen in fear by Magnus' expression. She was well aware of the brutality in
the way Magnus handled matters. Natalia had no doubt that if she pushed him any further, he might
have just killed her without a second thought.
Frozen with fear, Natalia couldn't move an inch, let alone escape.
Magnus spoke in an icy tone, "Leave!"

A news report suddenly exploded on the internet, sending the entire city into a frenzy. The news left
netizens across the nation in utter shock.
The most influential business tycoon, Lucius, the vice CEO of the Andersen Corporation, had done the
unthinkable. He had been intimately involved with his brother-in-law's wife, Kendra - the nominal wife of
the current CEO of the Andersen Corporation, Magnus.
And this wasn't just baseless gossip. The report was accompanied by clear pictures of Lucius and
Kendra caught in the act.
Their intimate demeanor left everyone speechless, shocking the ever-curious onlookers who were just
