Chapter 98


    Magnus started gathering evidence against Lucius within Andersen Corporation. He wanted to show


    his grandfather that it was his own doing that led to his downfall, not because of anything Magnus had


    done.


    But now he was also talking about taking photos of Kendra and Lucius. This was something James


    didn’t quiteprehend.


    After all, they all knew that Magnus and Kendra had no real connection.


    But to the outside world, Kendra was Magnus‘ wife.


    If he genuinely managed to get photos of Kendra and Lucius and then made them public,


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    wouldn’t that be like openly admitting Magnus had been cheated?


    So when James heard Magnus‘ n, he was quite surprised.


    He looked at him and said, “Magnus, don’t you think that’s inappropriate? Your ‘wife‘ cheating on you.


    Aren’t you afraid of bing theughingstock of the town?”


    Magnus was raised on Sapphire Ind, so he probably didn’t understand the power of public opinion.


    That was why James tried to warn him, hoping to prevent him from making a rash decision that would


    hurt him more than it would hurt others.


    “What’s there tough at? The third son of the Andersen family being a cripple is a joke that’s been


    around for almost a decade, isn’t it? Besides, if too many peopleugh, we can always tweak the truth


    a bit. We might even gain more sympathy points.”


    James’s concern was dismissed by Magnus.


    He had been nning to deal with Lucius and Kendra for days.


    After all, he didn’t want his divorce with Kendra to drag on!


    He wanted to legitimize his rtionship with Natalia as quickly as possible. He didn’t want to hurt her


    anymore.


    “Magnus, do you need others‘ sympathy?” James asked, surprised at Magnus‘ response.


    Even though Magnus was technically just the CEO of Andersen Corp, he was in fact the leader among


    their group of wealthy friends.


    He had even secretly founded a multinational corporation and Silent King. Did someone like Magnus


    really need others‘ sympathy?


    However, Magnus just rolled his eyes at James’s question.


    “I’ve been sitting in a wheelchair for almost a decade. Don’t I deserve some sympathy?”


    After saying that, Magnus didn’t bother to look at James and Chase’s bemused expressions.


    He rolled his wheelchair back to his room upstairs.


    When he left, hisdy was still asleep. He needed to hurry back and join her.


    Chase and James shrugged their shoulders and left Maplewood Manor.


    After a night of passion, Natalia felt as if her bones were falling apart.


    However, when she woke up, she found herself still lying in his arms.


    Looking at him sleeping beside her, his long eyshes casting tiny shadows on his handsome face,


    Natalia couldn’t help but stare at him. Her eyes were filled with love.


    She couldn’t help but think, “How can Magnus be so handsome? He’s like the male lead from aic


    book. If he could stand up, he would be the dream man for countless girls.” She had thought this more


    than once.


    Magnus pretended to be asleep, wanting to see what Natalia would do when she woke up.


    But when he realized she was just staring at him, he couldn’t help but chuckle.


    Then he opened his eyes and stared at Natalia’s petite face, asking, “Well, aren’t you going to do


    anything, faced with such a stunningly handsome man like me? Nat, you really are all bark and no


    bite.”


    “You. you’re the one who’s all bark and no bite! Pretending to sleep early in the morning, you tricked


    me again Natalia didn’t expect to be caught. red–handed by Magnus while she was sneaking a peek at


    him.


    Her face turned bright red.


    She hurriedly buried her face in his chest, trying to hide from his gaze.


    But Magnus would never indulge her ostrich–like behavior H


    e grabbed her chin, forcing her to lift her head. Then he leaned down and gave her slightly swollen, red


    lips a passionate kras.


    Then he said with a heated gaze, “Hmm? Are you sure you want to use me of being all bark and no


    bite? Do you want me to prove to you that i am


    not?


    She was almost got eaten alive by himst night and only just woke up.


    Yet, here she was, daring to tease him about not having the guts


    Hmm, she truly was his woman,


    No, not I was just joking. Don’t take it seriously Natalia, who was already quite embarrassed, was


    suddenly startled by Magnus words


    enly initiate another round of se


    Aher all, this man was like a machine that never seemed to tire.


    Each time, she felt as if she had lost half of her life. She didn’t dare to provoke him and quickly


    surrendered.


    Wise men knew the score, didn’t they?


    Seeing Natalia’s reaction, Magnus, who had been maintaining a serious face as if he was really going


    to discipline her, couldn’t help butugh.


    Then he reached out and yfully nudged her perky little nose, his tone filled with affection, “You talk


    big for someone who gets scared so easily!


    Anyway, once the arrangements he had made were in ce in a few days, he could give Natalia what


    she had always wanted.


    Then, she wouldn’t have any reason to talk about leaving him. By that time, he should be able to stand


    up.


    In his heart, Magnus was weaving a to bind Natalia.


    Natalia purposefully changed the topic, fearing that Magnus would be impulsive and initiate their


    intimate act again early in the morning.


    She looked at him and asked, “Magnus, can I ask you something?”


    Yesterday, Addison came to Maplewood Manor crying. Given her state, what she said probably wasn’t


    a lie.


    So Natalia was rather perplexed. Why would Magnus every a hand on Kendra?


    He had, after all, moved heaven and earth to marry her. Was it merely to exact revenge on Lucius?


    Now, he nearly took her life, and Natalia simply couldn’t


    make heads or tails of it.


    Magnus didn’t hesitate to respond to Natalia’s words, telling her to ask away.


    Whatever she wanted to know, he would tell her, no holds barred.


    Having professed his love, he was fullymitted to spoiling her for a lifetime.


    “My mom, she came by yesterday, and she said you nearly killed Kendra. Is it true?” Natalia mustered


    the courage to ask, given Magnus‘ straightforward


    response.


    She had wanted to bring up the matter with Magnus the day before.


    But each time she tried, the words wouldn’te out. Now, the atmosphere was so rxed, she wasn’t


    worried about Magnus getting angry anymore.
