Chapter 183


    When Magnus learned that Michael and Isabe had severed their father-daughter rtionship, he


    couldn''t bring himself to fully cut off ties with the Simmons Group, out of respect for their past


    camaraderie.


    Two dayster, news arrived that Isabe was missing.


    Magnus sat motionless, staring nkly at the azure expanse of ocean - his face devoid of any


    expression. Who knew what he was thinking?


    Nine years ago, he had been betrayed by Lucius, which resulted in him losing his legs. Afterwards,


    Isabe abandoned him. He had managed to endure all of that.


    This time, he had lost his legs again but had also lost his beloved wife. He surmised that he probably


    couldn''t pull through this time. Even if he dealt with those who had betrayed his wife, he couldn''t bring


    her back.


    Magnus continued to gaze emptily at the sea every day. Outside his window, the sea wind rustled, and


    the waves seemed to sigh with regret and longing.


    Morgan tried several times to cheer Magnus up, reminding him that thepany could not go one day


    without a leader. But Magnus still lived in his memories of Natalia. He no longer cared about any


    Carter and Chase also had their hands full.


    On the day of Carter''s return to France, an irate Morgan announced that Lucius would temporarily take


    over as thepany president. When Magnus received the news, he showed no reaction. Lucius


    strutted around Andersen Corporation with his shoes shining, and his suit perfectly tailored. He was full


    of pride and satisfaction. Finally, Magnus, that bastard, had lost his legs again, and Lucius had


    smoothly taken over Andersen Corporation while Magnus was recuperating. The feeling of power was


    so wonderful!


    Even though Morgan said it was temporary, once Lucius had this position, he would never give it up!


    However, he regretted that Magnus had only lost his legs, and hadn''t been killed. It was so frustrating!


    He was afraid that one day, that cripple would stand up again and take his position.


    “But this is also not bad. Magnus, do you want to fight with me? You''ve ended up losing your wife and


    child, and now you have to sit in a wheelchair!” Lucius thought.


    Hahaha, he was the rightful president of Andersen Corporation!


    With these thoughts, Lucius opened the door to his office and walked in.


    This was Magnus'' former office. It was neatly arranged and meticulously maintained.


    Lucius looked around the room and sneered, "What kind of taste does Magnus have? The office of a


    CEO doesn''t have a single decoration. It''s so shabby!"


    After saying this, Lucius called his assistant. “I give you half a day to redecorate this office to be grand


    and opulent. If you can''t do it, pack your bags, and get out!"


    After the call, Lucius felt much better. He leaned back in his luxurious office chair and closed his eyes


    to rest.


    In the peaceful environment, Lucius suddenly thought of Kendra. It had been a long time since he had


    seen her. In fact, this time, it was all thanks to her that Magnus was brought down and Natalia and


    Magnus'' son were killed. Now that he had taken the position of CEO, why hadn’t shee to see him?


    She should’ve been eager to tter him, and even willing to lick his shoes – that was just the woman


    she was!


    With this thought, he casually dialed Kendra''s number, eager to have here over and satisfy his


    vanity.


    "Ding——Ding——Ding——"


    The phone was quickly answered, and Lucius frivolously asked, “Kendra, do you know where I am?”


    He was expecting to hear Kendra''s familiar voice, but instead, an anxious voice from Addison came


    from the other end of the line. “You’re Lucius, right? Mr. Andersen, Kendra has been missing for


    several days!”


    "What?" Lucius instantly dropped his smile, sat up straight, and asked seriously, "What happened?


    How could she just disappear?"


    On the other end of the phone, Addison was choking up, clearly having cried for a long time. "I, I don''t


    know, I found Kendra''s phone at our front door. It''s been several days now, and she never came home.


    I don''t know where she went."


    "How could this happen? Did you report it to the police?" Lucius asked.


    "I did, but the police said that the surveince at our front door was broken. There was some


    surveince footage of Kendraing home from a camera further away, but it didn’t show what


    happened at our front door. Kendra, she just disappeared without a trace." Addison cried.


    On the phone, Addison pleaded with Lucius, "Mr. Andersen, I beg you, you must save Kendra!"


    Even though Lucius was a heartless man, he still had a soft spot for Kendra – she was his first woman.


    He was far from being deeply in love with her, as he didn''t understand what love was. But regarding


    Kendra''s sudden disappearance, Lucius was also caught off guard.


    In Melfort, everyone knew that Kendra was Lucius'' woman. Who would dare toy a hand on her?


    Luciusforted Addison with a few words and quickly hung up the phone. He sat at his desk,


    frowning as he pondered the reasons for Kendra''s disappearance.


    Who would be so bold?


    Suddenly, a thought shed across Lucius'' mind – Magnus?! That was right, if anyone in Melfort didn''t


    take Lucius seriously, it was probably only Magnus, right? He must have found out that Kendra had


    betrayed Natalia. But where had he taken Kendra?


    He didn''t kill Kendra, did he?! This thought shed through Lucius'' mind, and without any hesitation,


    Lucius immediately called Magnus.


    The phone was picked up, and Magnus'' cold, distant voice came from the other end. "What is it?"


    "Tsk, tsk, tsk, Magnus, such disrespect for your own brother? Shouldn''t you at least call me Lucius or


    Mr. Andersen?" Upon hearing Magnus''ckluster tone, Lucius knew Magnus was in a foul mood and


    intentionally provoked him with a sarcastic tone.


    "Mr. Andersen? I hope you''ll take that title to your grave!" The icy voice that echoed from the phone


    seemed to originate straight from hell.


    A shiver ran down Lucius'' spine. He retorted sharply, "Magnus, don''t tell me you''re losing your temper


    now. I''ve told you before, you won''t be able to hold onto your CEO position for long. See, not even a


    year has passed, and you''ve resigned!"


    "Ha, ha, back in the wheelchair again, are you? How does it feel, Magnus? Are you enjoying your days


    of mourning your wife and son?" Lucius sneered from his chair.


    Upon hearing his words, Magnus'' cellphone began to twist and warp in his grip, and the veins on his


    forehead were bulging in agitation. In an instant, with a "snap!" the phone was crushed in half!

    Listening to the disconnected dial toneing from his phone, Lucius was so infuriated he nearly


    threw his own phone. "Damn you, Magnus, hanging up on me!"


    But as he lifted his phone, Lucius changed his mind. He still had to contact Kendra. Left with no other


    choice, he dialed Magnus‘ number again.
