The Imposter Bride

Chapter 34

Before she could finish her words, the man silenced her with a kiss, his tongue skillfully invading her mouth, intertwined with hers. The sweetness of her mouth had his blood boiling. His large hand slipped under her nightgown. All he wanted was her; he wanted to feel her wrapped around him.

The ferocity of his kiss left Natalia’s mind in a fuzzy haze. Just as the man was about to push further, there was a knock on the bedroom door. “Mr. Magnus, Ms. Natalia, your grandfather requests your presence for breakfast,”

The sound from outside the door startled Natalia, causing her to immediately push the man off her Magnus glanced at her with hazy eyes, “Darling.”

“Get up, someone is here.”

“I don’t care.”

Half an hour later, Natalia wheeled him down the stairs. At the breakfast table, Morgan’s face was grim. He looked up at his expressionless grandson and a tense Natalia, sighing heavily, but ultimately said nothing.

Morgan’s birthday celebration went as planned. He didn’t invite many people, but the executives of the Andersen Corporation and the influential figures of Melfort were all

present.

On the day of the party, Morgan only announced that Magnus now held the most shares in the Andersen Corporation, and did not reveal who the future CEO would be.

Lucius squinted his eyes, holding back a strong impulse. He glanced at Kyler, giving him a small nod. At that moment, Kyler gently stepped out from the crowd and approached Morgan, “Mr. Morgan, today I represent the entire Clarkson family in wishing you a happy 80th birthday. You can now begin to enjoy the blessings of your children and grandchildren, and pass on your responsibilities to the younger generation.”

“Yes, Mr. Morgan, we have been waiting for you to announce the new CEO. Are you planning on making the announcement at this party?” Mr. Lee added with a smirk. He was one of Lucius trusted men.

Morgan’s face darkened instantly. His piercing eyes met Kyler’s, “I will announce the new CEO in June. Today is my birthday celebration, and I have no intention of discussing business But I wouldn’t mind discussing family matters with Mr. Clarkson.”

Kyler was taken aback, his gaze quickly shifting to Natalia, who was standing in the corner next to a wheelchair. Natalja, small and delicate, was standing in the shadows behind the wheelchair, while the man in the wheelchair stared intently at him.

For the past month, he had been on edge. He knew Addison had sent Natalia to Sapphire Island, which had caused a huge argument between him and his wife. He was terrified that Natalia would be discovered and anger the Andersen family, thus ruining the Clarkson fa

But a month had passed and Natalia hadn’t been sent back. Instead, he was attending Morgan’s birthday celebration.

Last night, unable to resist Kendra’s nagging, he agreed to bring up the issue of the new CEO at Morgan’s birthday party. He thought that since Kendra was about to marry into the Andersen family, it wouldn’t anger Morgan.

Seeing Morgan’s reaction, he regretted his decision. He looked at the man in the wheelchair, whose dark eyes were like an unfathomable lake. The man sat lazily in the wheelchair, his expression indifferent, but his eyes were radiating a cold light that sent chills down his

spine.

Despite being wheelchair–bound, the man exuded an aura of majesty. Natalia was standing quietly behind him. She had lost weight.

“Mr. Clarkson, since Kendra married my grandson, you haven’t visited her once. Today, you should spend some time with her,” Morgan’s sharp eyes bore into Kyler.

“Yes. Thank you, Mr. Morgan.” Kyler quickly walked towards Natalia.

When he reached Magnus and looked at Natalia, he suddenly felt like she was a stranger. He gently whispered in her ear, “Natalia, let’s go talk outside.”

Natalia nodded. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

As they left, everyone in the room watched them go.

“Mr. Morgan, Kendra seems to be a great match for Mr. Magnus. This is truly a match made in heaven,” Mr. Lee immediately went to Morgan to flatter him..

“Yes, Ms. Clarkson is refined and elegant, truly befitting of a lady of her stature,”

“She and Mr. Magnus indeed make a cute couple.”

Amidst the flattering comments, Morgan watched Magnus, who had a faint smile on his face. “Thank you all. I’d like to take this opportunity to announce to my grandfather and all the board members that I’ll be joining the Andersen Corporation with Lucius in June

He wheeled his chair over to Morgan’s side, and amid the surprised gazes of the onlookers, he lifted his head slightly, wearing a smile that seemed unfathomable

“Everyone knows that my legs aren’t good, but my brain is perfectly fine. I want to contribute to the Andersen Corporation After all, I hold a majority of the shares. I don’t want anyone to accuse me of reaping the benefits without lifting a finger His gaze swept across everyone present

“Mr. Magnus, you should focus on your recovery Leave the company matters to Mr. Lucius.”

“Yes, focus on your health, we trust that Mr Lucius can manage the Andersen Corporation”

Hearing the crowd’s words, Magnus‘ dark eyes revealed a mocking smile “Thank you for your concern, but I don’t need to rest anymore I will officially start working at the Andersen

Corporation next month.”

As soon as he spoke, everyone gasped in astonishment, except for the stunned Lucius who couldn’t snap out of it. Lucius stared fixedly at Magnus‘ half–smiling face, and suddenly, he

felt a shiver run down his spine.

He was coming back to Andersen Corporation. He was coming back to vie for the CEO

position.

Magnus didn’t pay any heed to Lucius‘ changing expressions. His wheelchair rolled smoothly to Morgan’s side, and said with a smile. “Grandpa, you heard it right. I’m willing to work at Andersen Corporation. After all, it’s the fruit of your life’s labor. I can’t just sit back and enjoy the fruits without helping to plant the seeds.”

Morgan looked into Magnus‘ resolute eyes; there was no hint of jest in them. He gently placed a hand on his shoulder, his face showing surprise and joy. “Are you serious? You’re really coming back?”

“Yes, Grandpa, I am. I’m sorry for causing you worry over the years. Regardless of it all, I’m willing to give my all for Andersen Corporation.” Magnus extended his hand to grasp Morgan’s.

Tears welled in Morgan’s eyes as he firmly grasped Magnus‘ hand. “Good, good. Your willingness to come back is all I need to be reassured.”

Lucius stepped up to the wheelchair, “Magnus, why don’t you just stay on the island and rest? Leave all this to me. Grandpa, you can rest assured. I will carry Andersen Corporation to greater heights, and I won’t let you down.”

Morgan seemed to have not heard Lucius‘ words, still holding Magnus‘ hand Without giving a second glance to the directors in the hall, he pushed Magnus‘ wheelchair, turning to say, “Let’s go, my boy Since you’re coming back to the company, I’ll have Paul assist you. I’ll have him fill you in on the company matters.”
