Chapter 99
Natalia called Kyler's wife her mother, which made Magnus feel a bit uncomfortable. That woman had
no right to be her mother. It seemed she still had resentment towards this arrogant and overbearing old
lady.
Magnus gently pulled her into his arms, murmuring in her ear, “Yeah, that woman Kendra threw a
tantrum in front of me, even insulted you. So I taught her a lesson to make her back off. That woman
disgusts me.”
Magnus didn't even want to dwell on Kendra’s repulsive demeanor.
“But didn't you go to great lengths to marry her and brought her to Sapphire Island?” Magnus kept
saying how Kendra disgusted him, Natalia found it hard to believe. She asked this question tentatively.
Even though he was holding her, she sneakily looked up at him, to gauge his expression.
Seeing a hint of disgust on his face, Natalia became even more puzzled.
Magnus couldn't help but sneer inwardly: Was Natalia now questioning him? Was she blaming him for
wanting to snatch Kendra from Lucius?
Or was it because she liked him too much, and was jealous?
Thinking about this, Magnus couldn't help but grin.
Holding her slim waist tightly, he said: “Don't your knickers in a twist. I wanted to marry Kendra only to
provoke Lucius.
I would never fancy a woman like Kendra. I only like you, just remember that.”
Even when Isabella was by his side, he never felt happy or joyful.
Natalia was like a sprite, bringing sunshine to his life. How could he not love her, who prevented him
from being swallowed by hatred and losing his rationality?
Natalia had a lot of doubts in her mind. Even if it was to hit Lucius hard, there was no need to stake his
marriage. If Kendra had married into the island, would Magnus have developed feelings for her over
time?
Natalia felt uncomfortable thinking this.
Magnus was too close to her, and his warm breath was constantly spraying on her face, making Natalia
feel itchy.
Therefore, Natalia's face gradually turned red due to his warm breath.
Then she sweetly leaned into his arms, allowing his masculine pheromones to slowly creep into her
nostrils.
For the first time, Natalia reached out and put her arms around Magnus' sturdy waist.
The assassination planned by Lucius, although it severely injured Magnus,
it ironically warmed up the feelings between Natalia and Magnus.
Because of this, Magnus was in high spirits.
A few days later, when most of the scabs on his back fell off,
Magnus, who was given the green light by the doctor, was ready to return to the company.
Because of Lucius' actions this time, he had been recuperating at home for so long. This allowed the
evil Lucius to meddle more with the company's affairs.
If he didn't go back now, Lucius might become more reckless.
So, early in the morning, after having breakfast and preparing to return to the company, Magnus sat in
Linden's car and headed to the company.
Once arriving at the Andersen Corporation, Magnus walked directly into the CEO's office. Seeing
Magnus, Paul hurriedly followed him into the office.
Standing in front of Magnus, he said respectfully, “Mr. Magnus, we are so glad that you are back.
During your absence, Lucius has been interfering with the company's affairs.
Not only has he disrupted our previous steps and plans, but he also intends to persuade Morgan to
change the CEO.”
Paul, who had been with Morgan for many years, knew exactly what to say and what not to.
The first few sentences he said were about the company's affairs, which were justified and beyond
reproach.
The latter involved the battle between the two grandsons of the Andersen family for the CEO position.
He was directly assigned to Magnus by Morgan, so he was Magnus' man.
However, the series of decisions Magnus had made since taking over the company had made Paul
look at this wheelchair-bound man in a new light.
After all, Magnus' ability was something that jealous Lucius could never match in his life.
It was no wonder that so many people in the company had all leaned toward Magnus in such a short
period of time.
After all, although Magnus was cold to people, he was fair in doing business and would not deliberately
make things difficult for his subordinates and those who had made mistakes in the past, u
nlike Lucius, who always carried the attitude of a general manager and never treated his subordinates
as humans.
However, after hearing Paul's words, Magnus, who was casually flipping through the files on his desk,
laughed.
“Don't worry, all of Lucius' actions during this period are under my control. He won't succeed in what he
wants to do.”
As for Lucius' true nature, his grandfather had seen it clearly over the past many years.
, and did not hand over the CEO position to Lucius the first time. Even if something happened to
Magnus, his grandfather would definitely not give the CEO position to Lucius.
He allowed him to do so this time, without letting James and Chase stop him, was to deliberately dig a
pit for Lucius.
It was just a pity that Lucius was too stupid; he didn't have the intelligence to see through his plot.
“I see. I am relieved now. Are your injuries all healed?” Hearing Magnus say this, it was clear that
everything was under his control.
“Yes, they are healed.”
Paul breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he wouldn't have to run back and forth after this.
During the time Magnus didn't come to the company, Morgan was worried sick.
Even though he reported to Morgan daily, the shrewd man knew that Magnus' recent mishap might be
linked to Lucius.
With Magnus back in the office, everyone could breathe a sigh of relief. Things were returning to
normal.
As soon as Paul left the room, Magnus rang the intercom to call in his secretary and gave her some
instructions.
...
"What? Magnus' secretary called and said that Magnus wants to see you again? What is he up to this Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
time? Kendra, you mustn't go. I can't bear the thought of you getting into another scrape."
Upon hearing that Kendra had just recently recovered from her injury and was about to leave again,
Addison hurriedly went to her daughter's room and asked her what was going on.
But when she heard what it was all about, Addison was taken aback.
