The Imposter Bride

Chapter 65

That day, he saw Magnus in a meeting with the CEO of a conglomerate from France. To his surprise, the CEO was bending over to shake hands with Magnus The sight of such deference was like a sharp needle pricking Lucius eyes.

It was supposed to be all his. Why was he on the outside looking in? He needed to make his move!

Originally, he planned to wait until Magnus faltered due to his lack of business acumen, expecting him to be criticized by other board members and step down from his position willingly. But Magnus had proven him wrong. He not only managed the company effectively but also expanded it globally. Magnus had even replaced the staff with his own trusted experts brought over from France!

He had underestimated his adversary. He found out that Magnus owned a multinational corporation in France Magnus had really invested heavily in the last nine years, leaving him around would only mean trouble in the future!

He stood up, locked his office door, and made a phone call.

At ten in the morning, Magnus received a call that caused a storm to brew in his mind

At six in the evening, Magnus sat in his wheelchair, took the elevator directly to the underground parking lot, and Linden opened the car door for him. With a light push of his hands. Linden placed the wheelchair in the trunk, and the car slowly left the parking lot. Three cars followed Magnus‘ car closely after

it left

Magnus was on his way to a dinner that he had arranged with the CEO of the conglomerate from France. The dinner was to be held at Cloud Mountain Villa As Magnus car was about to turn into the

villa, the three cars following him sped up and crashed into his car.

In the ensuing chaos, Magnus‘ car was pushed towards the edge of a cliff. The then in the cars quickly took out guns. One put on sunglasses and, at Lindens nod, started shooting at the cars behind them.

At dusk, four cars were engaged in a fierce battle on the deserted road near Cloud Mountain Villa. One of the cars rammed into Magnus‘ car, causing it to flip over the edge of the cliff.

Meanwhile, Linden and the man with the sunglasses jumped out of the car and took cover behind a large rock. They continued shooting but soon found

themselves outnumbered.

The car that had rammed into Magnus‘ started to catch fire. The flames soared into the sky! Linden and the man in sunglasses, both injured by bullets, managed to escape in the light of the explosion.

Elsewhere, in Golden Groove, Magnus received a phone call. His cold eyes flashed red. He muttered a few words, sounding exhausted, “Handle the aftermath Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

In another bar, Lucius received a call and immediately stood up. “What’s the situation?”

“Mr Lucius, we lost four men, their car went over the cliff, but they might have jumped out!” The tense voice on the phone made Lucius break into a grin

He finally laughed They can’t escape. Even if they survived the fall, the cripple won’t make it fart

He hung up the call, his eyes revealing a ruthless light. Magnus, do you want to play? I’ll play you to death

He guiped down a glass of whiskey, grabbed a woman on the couch, and kissed her. He spit the whiskey into her mouth, forcing her to swallow it The woman coughed and complained, “Mr. Lucius,

you’re so wicked!”

Lucius laughed wildly Tonight, you’re going to see just how wicked I can be!” He picked up the woman and carried her to a private room amid her laughter

The next day, Lucius was awakened from his sleep by two police officers.

“What’s going on? Lucius asked, springing up from the bed.

“Mr. Lucius, we suspect you’re involved in the dar crash and fire incident at Cloud Mountain Villa yesterday. It might be a case of attempted murder” One officer informed him

“I don’t know what you’re talking about I was here all day yesterday. Lilly can vouch for me.” Lucius quickly pulled the woman hiding behind him to his

Side

Lilly nodded eagerly, “Yes, Mr Lucius was here all afternoon yesterday He never left!”

The police officer stepped forward “Mr Lucius, the owners of three of the four bars involved in the accident had phone calls with you yesterday, and Thes also received money from you We have records We’ve already detained one of the car owners He confessed that you hired him to assassinate the CEO of Andersen Corporation, Magnus”

Lucius, a seasoned player put on his clothes and stood up. His cold gaze met the officer’s Tll tell you this, i have nothing to do with this. The CEO of Andersen Corporation is my brother Why would I want to kill him? I’ll cooperate with your investigation, but if you find out I’m innocent, you better start looking for a new job

With that he walked out of the room

Just as Lucius arrived at the police station, he heard someone report. The car owner committed suicide!”

The two officers were taken aback Lucius smirked When he hired them he had made it clear that if they failed, they had to disappear from Melfort, either by death or escape if they got caught he wouldn’t hesitate to wipe out the entire families)

To avoid involving his family, the car owner had swallowed the poison hidden under his fingernai

Lucius was released after half a day at the station since there was no evidence linking him to the crime An hour later, all the accounts that had received money from Lucius were wiped clear. There was no trace of where the money had gone

When Lucius walked into Andersen Corporation full of glee, he saw Paul pushing Magnus wheelchair towards the front door of the building. He stood in shock as he watched Magnus sitting in the wheelchair, alive and well

10.49

He didn’t diel Hadn’t he fallen off a cliff?

As Lucius stared in disbelief, Magnus turned his head and saw Lucius standing by the pillar. He gave a sinister smile as his wheelchair glided past Lucius. “Lucius, surprised that I’m still alive?”

Lucius looked at the man who was smiling like a devil. This wasn’t a man who had fallen off a cliff! He had been tricked!

These fools!

Magnus slid closer, and his icy slits of eyes were piercing like a sword, aimed straight at Lucius. You’ve been using these low–life tricks against me for years, aren’t you tired?

“How come you’ve made no progress? How could these stale schemes of murder possibly kill me? I believe you can still recall, two years ago, you used the same method to try to off me in France. Aren’t you bored with these old tricks?

“Lucius, I advise you to stay put in the corner I’ve designated for you and quietly continue as my vice president! Don’t blame me for not cherishing our brotherhood if there’s a next time! Your three chauffeurs have nicely fed my Perthi Much obliged Magnus finished, raising an eyebrow. He turned and left.

Lucius was left behind, his gaze following Magnus‘ retreating with a fierce light. “Magnus, don’t get too smug. Our feud has only just begun!” The man roared at the sky.
