The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 16

Lucius' hands clenched abruptly, his head dropping in anticipation of the staff's blow. "Grandpa, he did

it on purpose. Can't you see? I heard he did the same thing in France three years ago..."

"You still want to plead innocent? I saw you kick his wheelchair with my own eyes! He's already lost his

legs. Do you want his life too?" Morgan stared icily at Lucius.

"I hope this is the last time, I don't want to see you bully him anymore! Or else, don't blame me for

being rude!" With that, Morgan turned and left.

"Get out!"

Lucius' teeth ground together in rage. He watched Morgan's retreating figure, and his eyes seemed to

have suppressed some sort of painful emotion. A ruthless gleam flashed in his eyes!

Turning to leave, he ran into Lillian standing at the door. As he descended the stairs, Lillian called out

to him, "Lucius, don't cause trouble at a crucial time. Just bear it for three more months, and you can

rest assured, everything of the Andersen family will be yours!"

Lucius didn't respond, he simply walked out of the mansion.

When the car roared into the distance, a pair of eyes from within the villa's bushes stared intently at the

departing vehicle. It was Kendra, hiding outside the Villa Montecresto. She watched with pained eyes

as Lucius' car gradually disappeared.

“Lucius, I'm here!”

By the time Magnus returned to his Sapphire Island mansion, it was already five in the afternoon. He

stepped out of the car and immediately seated himself in his wheelchair, wheeling towards the

mansion. Upon entering the house and seeing May in the kitchen, he immediately approached her.

"Where is she?"

May turned around. "Ma'am is in her room. She hasn't come out all day. Even her lunch was delivered

to her."

Magnus wheeled himself into the elevator, heading straight for the second floor. As he passed Natalia's

bedroom, he barged in to see her engrossed in her book. The coldness in his gaze was chilling to the

bone!

Natalia stood up immediately, staring blankly at the furious Magnus. She put her book away and

walked over. "You're back."

When she reached out to push his wheelchair, he grabbed her wrist. She turned to look at him quietly.

"I learned a new technique today. It's beneficial for blood circulation in the muscles. Let me help you

later..."

"No need!" His grip on her wrist tightened. “Stop pretending! Are you tired?” His icy gaze mocked her

stunned expression.

“Heh, well done, seventeen years old! You lost your virginity at seventeen, so you're quite a slut. I didn't

expect the wife I married to be a woman others have had their way with!" His eyes burned with rage.

For some reason, after hearing Lucius' words, he was so mad he wanted to destroy the world. This girl

appeared so pure and innocent, like the moon in the sky, but it was all a facade. Despite his

indifference, he married her solely to get back at Lucius. But after hearing Lucius' words, a fiery anger

suddenly ignited within him, as if something that belonged to him had been violated. Even if he didn't Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

want them, he wouldn't let others have his things and people!

And this woman had been played with by Lucius! How could he swallow this insult? Very good!

Natalia stared blankly at him, her face showing no change. She was as calm as an autumn red leaf,

fresh and elegant. It was as if all of this had nothing to do with her, and no one had the heart to hurt

such a lovely girl.

Her large blue eyes were misty, quietly watching the angered man. "Mr. Magnus..."

"Don't call me Mr. Magnus. You're not worthy!" She had barely opened her mouth when he interrupted

her. He glared at her viciously. "From today, stay three meters away from me, because I find you

disgusting! And remember, stay here, and behave yourself, or I'll make sure the Clarkson family

disappears from Melfort! Get lost!"

His eyes were full of endless pain, a pain Natalia could clearly see. Yes, it was hate. Did he hate her

sister? Because her sister and Lucius were once an item. But this was a fact that couldn't be changed.

She slowly walked over, "Mr. Magnus, let me help you bathe and change your clothes. They're dirty."

Magnus brushed her off with a wave of his hand. “Get lost! Remember, don’t call me Mr. Magnus!” After

shouting, he wheeled himself rapidly out of the room.

“Wait...Magnus!” Natalia called out loudly. “Even if you hate me, don’t be angry. You should go take a

bath and change your clothes. I’ll leave!”

Her eyes were misty, and she lowered her head in despair before turning to leave the room and

descend the stairs.

The man watched her departing figure, and a sudden pang in his heart disappeared as quickly as it

came.

Natalia silently exited the mansion, following the beach northward. There was a large expanse of

seaweed there, clinging to the reefs. At sunset, the seaweed was a fiery red. The sunset was beautiful,

and occasionally, she could hear the sound of the waves. Natalia walked on, lost in thought. Why did

she have to bear all this?

Perhaps her fate was destined to go through this. The Clarkson family had raised her; it was time for

her to repay them. But she missed her mother. In her memory, she couldn't remember what her mother

looked like.

She had once asked Kyler if her mother was still alive in this world. Kyler quietly nodded, saying, "Yes,

your mother is still alive. When you grow up, she will come to see you!"

But she was now twenty and had yet to see her mother. Did her mother really not want her, or was

there some unavoidable reason?

Unconsciously, Natalia had walked into a forest. The island was large; other than Magnus' mansion,

there was only a dense forest. When Natalia looked up again, she had already ventured deep into the

forest, and it was growing dark. She looked into the depths of the forest, then turned to leave. But as it

grew darker, she walked and walked but couldn't find the beach. Wasn't she retracing her steps? Why

did it feel like she was walking in circles?

She pushed through the trees, moving forward but saw no light, and occasionally she could hear the

sounds of animals. Suddenly, she looked around, only to see trees in front of her.

"Ooow…"

Another animal cried! Natalia suddenly felt scared. She really shouldn't have come to the mountain

alone. She couldn't even tell which direction was which.

She started to run haphazardly up the hill, hoping there were no wild beasts around. No, no, please no.

She couldn't be lost, could she? What was she to do?

Suddenly, there was a faint "whooshing" sound from ahead. She took a sharp intake of breath, and her

heart was pounding. Immediately, she stepped back, tripping over a vine and falling flat on her face.

The "whooshing" sound was getting closer. She looked up, only to see a pair of glowing green eyes

coming towards her. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was a huge wolf, as big as a man. Its

mouth was glistening with silver drool as if it had seen a delectable meal.

Without wasting a moment, Natalia scrambled to her feet. Her eyes were wide with terror as she stared

at the giant wolf. She could barely hear her heart pounding in her chest.

“Please... don’t eat me. I didn’t mean to... encroach on your territory. I’m sorry, I’ll leave right now,”

Natalia pleaded, her body shaking with fear and adrenaline.

She took a step back, and the wolf advanced, its green eyes fixed on Natalia, as if afraid that this

delicious meal would run away.
