Chapter 149


    Isabe’s words ended with a heavy stream of tears. Her broken image was heart–wrenching. But


    Magnus was as cold as ever, his gaze indifferent. Hearing her speak of the past, of the lonely and


    painful times she spent with him, he retorted, “I didn’t say we couldn’t be friends. I’m married now. And


    for years, I’ve loathed women. Only my wife is the one I love.” He then pulled out a check from his


    drawer.


    Take this, as a token of gratitude for your kindness, Isabe. Don’t harbor any unrealistic hopes.” He


    handed her the check.


    Isabe stared at him, feeling as if her blood was running in reverse. He was giving her a check, buying


    off the past where she had been hispanion for six months. From now on, they would be strangers.


    No, she couldn’t ept this. She took a step back, tears welling in her eyes.


    “Magnus, can you really be this cruel? I loved you back then. Mypanionship can’t be measured by


    a check. If I ept this, it would be an insult to my dignity How can you be so heartless, Magnus?”


    Isabe’s cries grew louder. Magnus frowned when she refused the check. “Alright, if you don’t want


    the check, then you don’t have to take it. Sit down, stop crying. Did you need something from me


    today?” He couldn’t stand a woman’s cry. It was annoying from this woman, it would only hurt him when


    his wife cried


    “Thank you” Isabe knew when to fold. She wiped her tears, thanked him and sat down. In an offhand


    manner, she asked, “Magnus, have you been busytely? I really came just to see you”


    “I’m not busy. Everything is as usual Magnus replied nonchntly, flipping through some documents in


    his hand. He was wondering whether this woman was here just for a chat. The thought of the lipstick


    mark he saw that day made him feel disgusted


    Seeing Magnus being distant and formal, Isabe didn’t want to overstay her wee. She stood up


    ready to leave, 1 was just passing by and thought! would check on you. You go ahead with your work.


    I’ll take my leave” With that, she hurried to her feet


    “Oops!”


    The sound of fabric tearing, along with Isabe’s gasp echoed in the room. Magnus instinctively looked


    up, only to find that isabe’s skirt had somehow gotten caught on something.


    “Magnus, my skirt got torn by a nail. What am I going to do?” Isabe said, her face drained of color,


    looking extremely anxious


    Magnus was taken aback by this sudden mishap. How could there be a nail on his office chair? He got


    up to inspect and found that Isabe’s skirt was indeed snagged by a small nail protruding from the


    chair, and it was stuck.


    Magnus handsome face darkened. He was puzzled. Where did this naile from?


    Magnus was confused, but he didn’t dwell on it. He bent down to free Isabe’s skirt from the nail. The


    moment Magnus bent down, Isabe quickly pulled out her phone which she had already set to silent,


    and snapped a quick picture. She was clever about her shot, making it look as if Magnus was about to


    embrace her waist


    After taking the picture, Isabe quickly put away her phone. By this time, Magnus had managed to


    free her torn skirt But he had noticed her movement. He shot a cold nce at Isabe, his eyes filled


    with a destructive fury.

    Then he smirked


    “Alright, but you can’t go out like this.” Magnus thought for a moment, then took off his jacket, “Wrap


    this around you. It’ll save you the embarrassment.”


    Isabe’s face lit up at his gesture. She felt a surge of joy in her heart, “Your jacket for me? I’ll wash it


    and return it to you tomorrow. Thank you, Magnus.” Her heart was pounding


    “No need, it’s just a piece of clothing. Just throw it away when you’re done.” Magnus waved his hand


    indifferently, turned and went back to his desk. burying his head back into his documents.


    Even though she knew the jacket was just a gesture of kindness from Magnus, Isabe still felt


    overjoyed. She tied the jacket around her waist. Tm leaving now, Magnus Thank you”


    What happens once can happen twice If she put in enough effort and nned carefully, Magnus would


    return to her side.


    Isabe treasured the jacket as if it were a prized possession and left the office with a beaming smile


    Once outside his office, she quickly leaned against the door and took a selfie, then sent it along with


    the previous picture to Kendra. The two images could readily be interpreted as them sharing a wild


    moment in the office, with her having to depart d in Magnus’s jacket because her dress was ripped


    in the process


    That was the main goal of her visit. Wasn’t Natalia the jealous type? Well, she was waiting for her to


    get jealous and run off, never to return.


    The message was quickly sent. As Isabe walked away, she couldn’t help but send another text:


    [Opportunities like this don’te often. Make good use of the pictures


    Kendra, upon receiving the text and pictures, was instantly consumed by jealousy. So Magnus still had


    feelings for Isabe. But why didn’t he have the same feelings for her? Was she less worthy than


    Isabe?


    Despite her jealousy, making Natalia heartbroken and unhappy was the most important thing. Kendra


    laughed triumphantly, Hahaha, Natalia, you fool, just wait and see how I torment you”


    Quickly, she pulled up a photo editing software, found a few pictures of lovers kissing, and


    photoshopped Magnus and Isabe’s faces onto them. Then she blurred the picture Isabe had sent


    her, inaking it look even more suggestive


    Once everything was ready, Kendra hit the send button with a smug smile. She thought to herself:


    “Natalia, I’ll enjoy watching you cry and your heartbreak.”


    Meanwhile, Natalia, who was in France, hadn’t checked her phone in a few days. As soon as she


    turned it on, she received Kendra’s message.


    Seeing that the sender was Kendra, Natalia instinctively didn’t want to open it. But then she thought,


    what was the harm? She and Magnus were already like this. Could it be even worse?


    Kendra never liked Natalia, so she definitely wouldn’t send her any good stuff. Yet, she feared it might


    be about Magnus. Despite her apprehensions, she couldn’t resist the pull of her heart and clicked open


    the message.


    As Natalia clearly saw the contents within, she was brought to the brink of tears. It was indeed about


    Magnus, but it was a picture of him in the arms of another woman. She looked at the pictures in shock,


    her heart breaking into a thousand pieces as if someone was repeatedly stabbing it with a knife.


    She watched as he leaned down to embrace Isabe, their lips meeting in a passionate kiss.


    Eventually even Isabe showed up in front of his office draped in Magnus” jacket.


    In the photos, they seemed so deeply in love and inseparable.


    A loud ringing filled her head, her mind went nk. Looking at it now, it seemed that her decision to


    travel abroad was indeed the right one.
