Chapter 301
"Absolutely, Grandpa, we must search thoroughly. We can''t afford to dy Magnus'' condition any
longer," Lucius chimed in, fanning the mes. "Natalia, that woman, doesn''t want us to see Magnus.
I''m sure she''s up to no good."
Natalia quivered with fury at Lucius'' words, cing a hand in front of his face. "Lucius, I think you know
perfectly well who''s the one harboring ill intentions here!"
"Get out of my way!" Lucius,tled by the truth of her words, shoved Natalia aside and supported
Morgan as they moved forward. He had a hunch about which room Magnus was in - the same room Dr.
Frankie had just exited!
Natalia, pushed back with force by Lucius, stumbled and fell. Dr. Frankie quickly helped her up. "Are
you alright, Madam?"
Natalia shook her head. "I''m fine. Seems like today''s event can''t be kept a secret much longer."
While they were talking, Lucius had already led Morgan to the door of the room that Dr. Frankie had
just left.
Through the transparent window, Lucius was the first to see Magnus, with a grey pallor, bound to the
hospital bed with iron chains. Overjoyed, he could barely contain his excitement as he called out to
Morgan, "Grandpa, look, Magnus is right here!"
Morgan, recognizing the joy in Lucius'' voice, furrowed his brows in displeasure. But when he followed
Lucius'' pointing finger and saw Magnus, he froze in his tracks.
In the hospital room, a frail Magnusy with a pale face and eyes tightly shut, his body bound securely
with iron chains. Morgan could hardly believe his eyes. He turned his fierce gaze on Natalia, as if he
wanted to tear her apart. "What did you do to my boy? Why did you chain him up like this? Why?!"
Lucius, standing nearby, was also puzzled. How could the usually defiant Magnus allow himself to be
confined in such a grim state? Unless...
Natalia hurried over to exin, "Grandpa, this is all a misunderstanding... Magnus, he..."
Morgan was furious, swinging his cane at Natalia. "You, full of lies! Even now, you refuse to tell the
truth! Fine! I''ll ask him myself!"
Morgan pushed the door open and entered the room. Lucius quickly followed, not wanting to miss any
information. The smell of disinfectant filled the room. Morgan, heartbroken, approached the bed and
touched Magnus'' bony, emaciated hand. "Magnus? Wake up, tell Grandpa what''s wrong."
However, Magnusy motionless and silent.
Lucius, on the other hand, had a suspicion. Could it be that Magnus was on drugs?
With this thought in mind, Lucius stealthily moved to the other side, and in a position where others
couldn''t see, he pinched Magnus hard. His grip was strong, and he managed to jolt Magnus awake.
Seeing Magnus slowly open his eyes, Morgan thought he had woken up. He quickly leaned over and
asked with concern, "Magnus, what''s wrong?"
"Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!" Magnus screamed, shaking his head frantically. "Get me my fix! Now!"
Morgan, who had hypothesized countless possibilities in his mind, was taken aback by this revtion.
He took two steps back in shock. This was clearly the behavior of an addict in withdrawal! He felt dizzy,
his vision blurred, and he copsed backward.
"Morgan? Morgan?" Dr. Frankie quickly rushed to Morgan, who had passed out on the floor.
Pandemonium ensued. "Oh my God, Morgan has passed out!"
"What should we do? What should we do?"
Magnus'' screams and the hubbub of the room mingled into chaotic noise.
"Quick, get Morgan to the ER," Dr. Frankie ordered the staff, trying to revive Morgan with CPR, but to
no avail. He turned to the other doctors. "Prepare the operating room, Morgan needs immediate
attention!"
The room was in a frenzy. Even Lucius was taken aback. He had merely wanted to probe Magnus''
condition, not expecting Morgan to faint from the shock. This was better than he could have hoped for,
a gift from the heavens!
Natalia was also stunned. She never expected Morgan to suddenly appear at the hospital, let alone
faint from the shock of seeing Magnus in such a state. But now that it had happened, she had to step
up and handle the situation, hoping that nothing serious would befall Morgan.

While everyone was busy tending to Morgan, Lucius had quietly slipped away. Now was his chance for
aeback, and he wasn''t about to let it slip away!
On his way, Lucius drove like a man possessed. Before he had even reached thepany, he had
already texted all the shareholders of the Andersen Corporation to attend an important meeting.
Lucius was over the moon as he parked at thepany and took the executive elevator to the top-floor
boardroom.
The boardroom was filled with Andersen Corporation''s shareholders. They had received Lucius''
message that something of utmost importance needed to be shared. As businessmen, there was
nothing more important than this, so they had all rushed over.
Standing in the elevator, Lucius stared at his reflection in the polished mirror – a visage of shrewd
“Magnus, just you wait. Soon, I''ll have you removed from thepany.”
"Ding!"
The elevator chimed its arrival at the top floor. Brimming with satisfaction, Lucius strutted out, dusting
off his jacket sleeves with an air of self-importance. He set his sights on the grand conference room
ahead and began his approach.
The room was buzzing with the restless chatter of shareholders. Magnus'' prolonged absence had
tested their patience, and the cryptic message from Lucius had sent them into a frenzy of spection.
Lucius reveled in themotion; it was the exact reaction he had hoped for. He stood outside the door,
savoring the deliciously chaotic symphony of voices, before slowly pushing the door open and making
his entrance.
As soon as he appeared, the shareholders fell silent, their eyes collectively shifting to lock onto Lucius.
"Good evening, everyone," he began, struggling to keep a triumphant grin off his face. "I''ve called you
all here to share some rather distressing news." He feigned a sorrowful tone. "Your CEO, Magnus, is
currently battling a severe drug addiction."
