The Imposter Bride

Chapter 301

“Absolutely Grandpa we must search thoroughly. We can’t afford to delay Magnus‘ condition any longer Lucius chimed in, fanning the flames. “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, placing 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, nettled 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 Tm fine Seems like today’s event can’t be kept a secret much longer

While they were talking. Lucrus 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 Magnus lay 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 explain, “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 Magnus lay 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 concem, “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 revelation. He took two steps back in shock. This was clearly the behavior of an addict in withdrawall He felt dizzy, his vision blurred, and he collapsed 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 oper 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 be 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 a comeback, and he wasn’t about to let it slip away!

On his way Lucius drove like a man possessed. Before he had even reached the company, he had already texted all the shareholders of the Andersen Corporati an important meeting

Lucius was over the moon as he parked at the company 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 inpeded 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 usage of shrewd competence – and he smirked

“Magnus, just you wait Soon. I’ll have you removed from the company”

“Ding”

The elevator chimed its arrival at the top floor Brimming with satisf sights on the grand conference room ahead and began his approach

The room was buzzing with the restless chatter of shareholders Magnus prolonge into a frenzy of speculation

Lucius reveled in the commotion, it was the exact reaction he had hoped for. He stood outside the door wavering the delic 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 stam some rather distressing news Ha feigned a sorrowfal tone. “Your CEO, Magnum, is currently battling a severe drug addictión”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
