The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 122

The blow he'd dealt to Lucius this time was bound to sting. And for that woman, Kendra, divorce was

no longer an option she could avoid. So he could soon withdraw from the situation, return to being

single, and be with Natalia. By then, he could tell Natalia everything. He could tell her that he was

already able to stand on his own two feet, as he couldn't bear to see Natalia tire herself out, massaging

his legs and pouring over medical books all day and night.

Due to the enormity of the scandal, the stocks of the Andersen Corporation had started to plummet. So

naturally, Magnus, as one of the involved parties, had no choice but to step up and hold a press

conference.

When Magnus arrived at the press conference, the media swarmed him, bombarding him with

questions. Paul, who was accompanying Magnus, nervously tried to shield him from the reporters. He

had the bodyguards separate the reporters, then said, "Please direct your questions at the press

conference. Our CEO will address your queries one by one."

The very fact that Magnus agreed to appear at the press conference was indicative of his intention to

confront the issue head-on. Once Paul made this clear, the reporters ceased their relentless pursuit.

The bodyguards cleared a path for Magnus, who was in a wheelchair, to smoothly roll onto the stage.

As soon as Magnus arrived, the reporters started firing off their questions.

"Mr. Andersen, what's your opinion on the affair between Lucius and your wife?"

While they were unfamiliar with the disposition of the elusive CEO of the Andersen Corporation, the

reporters felt that such a scandal would naturally be hard for any man to bear. Therefore, they were

waiting, ready to capture photographs of Magnus losing his temper with their cameras. They planned to

write some sensational articles later, which would undoubtedly generate a lot of online clicks.

However, Magnus was well aware of their intentions and merely offered a small smile. Then, in a calm

voice, he said to the reporter, "I am deeply pained by this incident. As Kendra's husband, it is indeed

hard for me to accept that she betrayed me. But after some time to cool down, I have made a decision.

If my brother Lucius and Kendra truly love each other, then I, Magnus, am willing to let them be. I have

already instructed my attorney to file for divorce. Given the negative impact this incident has had, we at

the Andersen Corporation have taken disciplinary action against Lucius. So the reason I called this

press conference today is to make it clear that this matter is in the past. I, Magnus, respect those two

individuals who couldn't resist the pull of love. However, I am deeply saddened by their actions."

The reporters, who had planned to provoke Magnus with probing questions and then exaggerate the

facts to keep the scandal alive, were taken aback by his lengthy response. They were even more

surprised to see Magnus, who had been subjected to such a humiliating betrayal, remaining calm and

composed.

He neither condemned his wife and brother who had betrayed him together nor showed any anger.

Instead, he decided to divorce Kendra and let the two of them be together. How magnanimous he must

be to do something like that?

However, they all knew about the many contributions Magnus had made since taking over the

Andersen Corporation. If they didn't know how capable he was, his magnanimous attitude this time

might have been interpreted as incompetence.

Even after Magnus had made everything clear, there were still some reporters who were not satisfied.

One of them deliberately stirred the pot by asking, "So, Mr. Andersen, are you saying that if Kendra

divorces you, you wouldn't object to her being with your brother Lucius and joining the Andersen

family?" Surely, even the magnanimous Magnus couldn't accept the idea of his ex-wife becoming his

sister-in-law and constantly appearing in his house, could he?

But upon hearing the reporter's question, Magnus just laughed. Then, in the same calm voice, he said,

"As I said, I won't oppose them if they want to be together. As for whether they will get married, that's

something for the parents of both sides to discuss. I don't need to comment on that."

Magnus' response seemed to be the conversation-ender. His words left no room for further questions,

and the sharp-tongued reporters were left speechless.

After a moment of silence, when they were about to ask more questions, Paul, who had been standing

by, stepped forward and said to the reporters, "Alright, that's all for today's press conference."

Without further ado, he had the bodyguards escort Magnus away from the press conference. After all,

Morgan had instructed them to take good care of Magnus during this time, and it wasn't appropriate for

Magnus to stay at the press conference for too long.

The uproar finally began to subside after Magnus' press conference. But the main reason was that

Lucius and Kendra, the two people involved in the scandal, had inexplicably disappeared.

The media took turns staking out the Andersen family estate, Lucius' villa, and the Clarkson family's

main entrance, but they never managed to take any photos of the two.

In contrast, Magnus, who had been the most hurt by the incident, won everyone's admiration with his

magnanimity. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Magnus filed a lawsuit in court, and due to the heinous nature of these events and the resulting public

opinion impact, the divorce case was expedited for an early trial. The decision was made in their

absence, effectively ending Magnus and Kendra's marital ties.

Finally free, Magnus felt an unexpected wave of relief wash over him. He arranged to meet Natalia at

their former mansion - a decision that was not taken lightly considering the recent event that had

happened there.

He had initially planned to buy Kendra a new mansion, a replica of the existing one, if she liked it. The

layout, location, and design would be replicated exactly. However, his proposal was met with

unexpected resistance from his beloved. It appeared as though she had developed a fondness for the

mansion, insisting on continuing to reside there.

Left with no other choice, Magnus reluctantly gave in. He instructed Linden to hire a team to refurbish

the mansion from top to bottom, ensuring that the security measures were upgraded to the highest

standard.
