Chapter 119
“Regardless of the circumstances, it was always Magnus who got the short end of the stick. Lucius, NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
with his ruthless mindset, had made countless attempts on Magnus' life. So was there anything he
wouldn't do?” Morgan had always been partial to Magnus.
"But…" Seeing Morgan lose his temper, Lillian was genuinely afraid, but she also didn't want her
precious son to be plotted against for no reason at all.
Lillian couldn't help but want to argue back. However, before she could get a word out, Anthony, who
was standing nearby, lowered his voice and said, "Don't stir the pot. Do you think Dad is stupid? You
think he doesn't he know who's responsible?"
Upon saying this, Anthony looked up at Magnus.
Noticing that Magnus was looking back at him, he immediately averted his gaze. He then added, "But,
Dad, at the end of the day, it's Magnus' fault. We all knew that Lucius and Kendra were in love. But
Magnus insisted on marrying Kendra out of stubbornness. Now look at the mess we're in. It's a total
disgrace to the Andersen family."
It was clear that Anthony had sided with Lucius, despite his pretense of stopping Lillian.
In the Andersen family, Lucius was their biological son while Magnus was treated like an adopted child.
That was why Magnus bore all the grievances. He didn't deserve any respect or love.
Seeing her son and daughter-in-law still favoring Lucius, Morgan, who was heartbroken for Magnus,
was fuming with rage. He glared at them and roared, "Anthony, don't think I'm unaware of your
intentions! Do you think I'm stupid? Magnus only wanted someone to care for him when he married
Kendra, but she had a stand-in at the wedding! This woman is vain and heartless. Can't you see that?
And what about the company? What have your son done, Anthony? He even framed your own
brother!"
It was due to Anthony's incompetence that he didn't hand over the company to him. Initially, he thought
he could entrust his lifelong business to his beloved grandson, Magnus, who was so much like him.
However, an accident had left Magnus in his current state. This had caused the elderly Morgan to feel
utterly despaired, having lost one grandson and witnessed the other becoming disabled.
Anthony was at a loss for words.
Magnus, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up. "It's okay, Grandpa. I'll handle this. I won't let
the world laugh at our family. Kendra and I were married in name only. I'll make her divorce me as soon
as possible and return Lucius' woman to him!" His words were laced with an mysterious smile. "As for
the company, I'll leave it to your decision, Grandpa. Since I'm not favored by my parents, I'll go back to
Maplewood Manor. I'll come to see you another day when you're in a better mood."
After saying this, Magnus left without another word, wheeling himself out of the old mansion.
Watching Magnus' solitary figure disappearing into the distance, Morgan turned to glare at the three
family members, grinding out, "You've pushed him to this point. What else do you want? As long as I
am still breathing, you won't get away with this!"
The consequences of Morgan's anger were severe. That very night, he issued orders to the Andersen
Corporation's executive headquarters and shareholders. He immediately stripped Lucius of his position
as vice-president and ordered an investigation into all the issues mentioned in Lucius' recording.
The next day, the Andersen Corporation publicly announced Lucius' dismissal, leaving him idle.
As for Lucius and Kendra, Magnus had said he would handle it. Morgan, who was deeply concerned
for Magnus, naturally didn't interfere.
No matter what Magnus did, Morgan, as a grandfather, wouldn't blame him.
The matter of Kendra and Lucius was causing quite a stir in the community.
Meanwhile, in the Clarkson family's living room, an enraged Kyler slapped Kendra across the face.
With a loud "smack," Kendra's face instantly swelled up, and the corner of her mouth started to bleed.
"Kyler, what are you doing? Why are you hitting our daughter? Have you lost your mind?" Addison was
already irate with the rumors flying around, and seeing Kyler hitting Kendra upon his return only fueled
her anger.
"Why am I hitting her? She knows why!" Even at this point, Addison was still shielding Kendra.
Knowing that disaster was imminent, Kyler was so angry that he wished he could drag Addison over
and beat her up along with Kendra.
For so many years, it was Addison who had spoiled Kendra into being such a willful girl. The Clarkson
clan was sure to crumble under the reckless actions of this stupid girl.
At Kyler's roar, the guilt-ridden Addison responded. She turned to glare at Kendra, who was left in a
sorry state after the confrontation. Then, she bellowed, "Explain yourself! What exactly happened?
You've managed to offend both sons of the Clarkson clan. Are you trying to drag us all down with you?"
Kendra fell silent and slumped onto the couch. Kyler glared at her in fury. How could he have fathered
such a daughter? If she had listened to him and divorced Magnus earlier, none of this would have
happened.
The Clarksons might not have been the wealthiest family, but they held a reputation. Now, thanks to
their disobedient daughter, their name was tainted in Melfort.
"I tell you now. You must divorce Magnus immediately. It's the only way to save ourselves, and the only
way our family can survive! You think Magnus would still want you as his wife after all this?" Kyler said
harshly.
Kendra sat on the couch like a puppet without strings, staring blankly at the setting sun outside the
window. She finally understood how her foolishness had not only harmed herself but also her family.
She would not divorce, absolutely not, over her dead body!
Her hands suddenly tightened. All of the day’s events were Natalia's fault, and she would make her pay
back tenfold one day!
