The Imposter Bride

Chapter 317

Just then, hurried footsteps echoed from the entrance, and the security guards sauntered over, yanking Michael by the arm as they escorted him

out

“Mr. Andersen, please show mercy! Forgive us, please!” Michael’s voice gradually faded into the distance until it was no longer audible.

The CEO’s office was once again quiet. Magnus stood in front of the large floor–to–ceiling windows, silently observing the world outside.

James broke the silence Magnus, what’s our next move?” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Wait Isabella will show up soon”

Sure enough, just as Michael was forced out of Andersen Corporation, Isabella found herself in Magnus office the very next day.

Magnus had deliberately pressured the Simmons Group, hoping to corner Isabella. But as he gazed at the venomous woman standing in front of him, he felt a bitter taste of irony. He had allowed this woman to wreak havoc on his life.

Facing the fully–recovered and imposing Magnus, a hint of despair flashed in Isabella’s eyes. She had known all along that he would find out about her true identity once he woke up.

It’s just because she wasn’t ruthless enough. If she had been, how could she have given Natalia the antidote to revive him? She still loved him

after all.

“If it weren’t for my mercy, you wouldn’t be alive right now! And instead of being grateful, you are tormenting my parents. You are heartless!” Isabella yelled defiantly, her eyes set on Magnus icy ones.

“Mercy” Magnus scoffed “Isabella, you’ve always had a knack for twisting the truth. Did you save me? Tell me, who poisoned me in the first place?”

Faced with Magnus accusations, Isabella faltered, but quickly regained her composure. “Yes, I poisoned you. But only because you refused to accept my love. After all these years, you’ve only repaid me with cruelty. You forced my father and me to cut ties, leaving me penniless. And now, even though I’ve returned, you still don’t love me. Magnus, I wonder if you have a heart at all! I acted impulsively by poisoning you. But didn’t give you the antidote in the end? And you, you’re relentless and relentless, pushing our Simmons Group to bankruptcy but still not willing to let it go. i may be in the wrong, but I don’t want my parents to end up on the streets Magnus why are you so ruthless! You and I are the same kind of people!

Magnus fury blazed in his eyes, and he practically spat fire at Isabella. “You dare accuse me of heartlessness? If it wasn’t for my wife, who agreed to your demands behind my back, would you have given me the antidote?”

Isabella shrank back, pleading, “Magnus, you know I’ve always loved you I was willing to do anything for you, even the most outrageous things As long as it was for you, I was willing to do it!”

“Enough” Magnus snapped. “Isabella, don’t you dare utter the word love‘ in front of me again You’ve defiled it. All you’ve ever loved is my power and wealth. If I were a beggar on the street today, you wouldn’t even spare me a glance!”

“Stop! Enough!” Isabella retorted “What’s wrong with wanting a high–quality life? Does true love mean having to beg on the streets? Yes, I love luxury and glamour, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love you!”

Magnus slammed his fist onto his desk, making a loud bang “Isabella, your soul is so corrupted by money, it’s revolting! You’ve always prioritized money above all else. But to me, my wife is the most important. Without her, I’d rather be dead!”

Seeing Isabella’s terrified expression, Magnus knew he had hit a nerve. “Isabella, I gave you a chance once. Five years ago, when you and Kendra caused the premature birth of my child and my wife’s tragic fall into the sea. I sold Kendra to an underground casino to live a life of disgrace But all I did to you was sever the ties between you and your father, i thought your disappearance was out of guilt, but I was wrong. Your soul was never pure Everything you’ve done is disgusting!”

Magnus tossed a file in front of Isabella “Look at this You were held captive on a farm, and your disgusting videos were recorded and sold to cruel viewers. You managed to escape from the man who held you captive. There must be some secrets hidden in this story, and it’s time to unearth them”

“No, please don’t!” Isabella was truly scared now. If Magnus dug up her past, her crimes would be exposed. She regretted provoking him. He was a man to be feared

As he watched her terrified face, Magnus knew he was right. There were shocking secrets hidden in Isabella’s escape, and he intended to

uncover them

“Magnus, no, Mr. Andersen, I am deeply sorry for the mistakes I’ve made in the past. Here’s a deal if you could spare my father and our Simmons Group, I swear, I will never show up in front of you again, nor will I ever disturb you Truly, I swear”

Isabella’s desperate plea, however, did not soften Magnus heart. His gaze was cold and stern when he looked at isabella standing in front of him. “Then tell me, what deal did you make with my wife that made you give me the antidote?”

Upon hearing his words, Isabella saw a glimmer of hope and immediately responded, “I made her swear to leave you forever, and to never return to you. She sweared on her son If she breaks her promise, her son will suffer greatly!”

Magnus staggered back upon hearing her words A storm of emotions raged in his heart. So Isabella had made Natalia swear on Jonas‘ Mile. No wonder Natalia left him so thoroughly and disappeared from his world
