Chapter 29
Magnus tightened his grip, "With grandpa here, I have to come back. Besides, if I'm not mistaken, this
old mansion should be in my name, Lucius."
Lucius turned pale, shooting a venomous gaze at Magnus. He scoffed, "Well, Magnus, it's just an old
mansion, no big deal. I'll give you whatever you want. After all, you're the one who can't walk, right?"
Natalia, hearing the brothers' heated exchange, her heart ached for Magnus. If only he could stand, he
wouldn't have to endure all these sneers. She shot Lucius a disgusted look, causing him to flinch
slightly. She didn't say a word to him, instead, she pushed Magnus into the elevator.
As the elevator doors slowly closed, Natalia looked up to see Lucius' smirk growing wider. Inside the
elevator, Magnus' cold demeanor caused Natalia's heart to ache even more. She gently placed her
hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry, you'll be able to stand one day."
Magnus paused for a moment, his expression softened. This girl still cared for others even though she
herself was in a tough spot.
They ate dinner quietly under Morgan's stern gaze. After dinner, Natalia was about to take Magnus for
a walk when Morgan called out to her, "Kendra, come to my study, I have something to discuss with
you."
Natalia hesitated for a moment, but before she could agree, Magnus interrupted, "Grandpa, can't it wait
for a few days? My wife just arrived. She's still getting used to the place." He added, holding onto her
hand.
Morgan looked at Magnus, protecting Natalia like a mother hen, a pang of pain surged in his heart. His
beloved grandson was still oblivious that his wife was an imposter. He would get to the bottom of this. If
the Clarksons had intentionally switched brides, using this girl to replace their own daughter, he would
make sure Kyler would disappear from Melfort.
"Magnus, relax. I just want to talk to Kendra. I won't give her a hard time." Morgan turned and walked
upstairs. Natalia gave Magnus' hand a reassuring squeeze, "I'll be back soon."
Magnus was about to say something, but Natalia was already following Morgan into the elevator.
Lucius, sitting on the sofa, smirked mockingly.
"Lucius, could you please push me outside for a walk?" Magnus asked, just as Lucius was about to
stand up and head upstairs.
Lucius was taken aback, but then he smiled, "Sure, I'm surprised you're in the mood for a stroll."
The brothers found themselves beneath the magnolia tree where they had been before. The weather
was slightly chilly in the evening, "Remember when you purposely let your wheelchair roll down from
here, and grandpa was furious? Magnus, I didn't expect you to be so cunning. You purposely let
Morgan see. Because of that, he warned me again, and if I dared to harm you, he would never let me
inherit the CEO position of Andersen Corporation. Ha, he really said that, but who else is capable of
being the CEO of Andersen Corporation if not me?"
"You're crippled, and even if Morgan wanted to have you become the CEO, you don't have the
strength. Ha ha ha…" Lucius laughed without restraint.
Magnus remained unfazed by his words, he glanced indifferently at the study window on the second
floor.
"Well, is that so? You better hold onto everything you have now, because when you fall from such a
height, it's going to hurt." Magnus said calmly.
"What do you mean!" Lucius stormed over, grabbing Magnus by the collar.
Magnus gripped Lucius' wrist, causing him to wince in pain. Lucius stared at the man in the wheelchair
in fear. In the dusk, his eyes were as cold as ice. He held onto Lucius' hand, staring at him intently, "If I
tell grandpa about the bride switch, do you think he'll still let you inherit the CEO position? Then, he'll
ostracize you and the Clarksons and remarry your woman to me. Well, he might already know, you and
the Clarksons conspired to replace the real Kendra and sent this fake Kendra to Sapphire Island. Can
you imagine what he would do?"
With that, he harshly let go of Lucius' hand. The pain made Lucius' body numb, and Magnus' words
struck him like a bolt from the blue. Magnus pushed him against the magnolia tree, causing him to
grunt in pain.
"What did you say? How do you know? It's impossible. Grandpa can't know. Magnus, I know you're
angry because the woman married to you isn't Kendra. Ha ha ha, you're pitiful. You married an
imposter. Live with her for the rest of your life, because you don't deserve Kendra."
Lucius looked down at the wrist that the man had just squeezed, his knuckles turning pale. He was
about to go and tip over the wheelchair when there was a loud noise from the upstairs study.
Without wasting a moment, Magnus quickly wheeled himself towards the mansion, straight into the
elevator and stopped in front of Morgan's study door, knocking lightly. Meanwhile, Lucius stood in
shock for a moment before quickly pulling out his phone to make a call.
Ten minutes earlier, Natalia had followed Morgan into his study. The decor was grand, everything was
made of camphor wood, and the bookshelf was filled with countless books. Upon entering, Natalia felt
a sense of oppression. Morgan sat in an armchair, watching the girl standing in the middle of the room.
She was so pure and innocent.
Morgan wondered, who was this beautiful and innocent woman?
She seemed calm and composed, but her heart was in turmoil. She furrowed her brows, "Grandpa,
what did you want to talk about?"
Morgan glanced at her for a few seconds before picking up the documents on the table. "Kendra, I
don't have much to give you for your marriage to my grandson. This is five percent of the shares in
Andersen Corporation. Just sign here and consider it my wedding gift to you."
Without beating around the bush, Morgan got straight to the point. Natalia stared wide-eyed at the
documents, a pang of guilt striking her as she looked up at the kindly old man. Should she tell him that
she wasn't Kendra, but Kendra's sister? She didn't want to deceive him. After all, she had come to this
family to repay the love and care she had received from the Clarksons.
"I... I can't sign this, Grandpa. I don't want the shares either," she said, unable to fathom accepting the
shares when she might leave before long.
Morgan's gaze was steady on her. "Why not? These are yours by right. Anyone marrying into the
Andersen family gets shares in Andersen Corporation. You're no different."
Natalia looked up at the old man, and he still smiled and nodded at her. "Go on, sign it. Take good care
of my grandson. He lost the use of his legs in his lifetime, and there's not much else I can give him.
Providing him with a peaceful life is the only thing I can do." NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Hearing his words and seeing the sorrowful look on his face as he turned to gaze out the window,
Natalia felt her heart ache.
