Chapter 58
He would never let Natalia be led astray any longer. He’d known all along about the feud between the
two brothers on his aunt’s side. Now, he didn’t care about the bid for Andersen Corporation and the
arranged marriage. But dragging Natalia into it was something he absolutely wouldn’t allow.
“Mrs. Andersen!” Hector pulled Natalia back, and suddenly someone called her from behind Turning
around, they saw Linden walking over with a smile.
“Mrs. Andersen, I saw you after school when I was shopping, so I thought I’d give you a ride home.” He
then turned to Hector. “So, you’re classmates with Mr Hector. I’m Mr. Magnus‘ butler, Linden”
Hector’s heart sank. “Isn’t Kendra my cousin’s wife? Who are you calling Mrs. Andersen?”
Linden paused for a moment, then laughed. “I wouldn’t know about that. All I know is that she is Mr.
Magnus‘ wife. He has instructed me to protect her.
With a bow, he motioned to Natalia. “Miss Natalia, the car is over there. Please, after you.”
Natalia nodded, shot Hector a guilt–ridden look, and then walked toward the car. The car had long
since left, but Hector still stood there, looking in the direction it had disappeared
Natalia didn’t say a word. Upon reaching home, she shut herself in the study to revise.
At Melfort Hospital, Kendra’s face had been swollen for days after the bodyguard’s assault. Her
swelling had finally subsided that day.
Addison brought her some food, noticing that she was absent–mindedly staring out the window.
“Kendra, you haven’t eaten in days. You should eat
something
Kendra turned to look at the steaming bowl of chicken soup Addison had brought. She didn’t have the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtslightest bit of an appetite. “Mother, this time Magnus had his bodyguard beat me up like this, and I
won’t let him get away with it
Kendra’s eyes darkened, a trace of malice flashing through them. She thought, “Natalia, it’s all your
fault. I will make you pay”
“You need to take care of your health first if you want to settle the score with him, Kendra. It pains me
to see you like this.”
Kendra looked at her mother’s worried face and nodded Alright, Mother I’ll eat”
After spending a week in the hospital, Kendra was discharged. Back at the Clarkson family mansion,
she stood on the balcony, dialed a number on her phone and gave a few precise instructions. Standing
on the balcony, and watching the sunrise, an evil smile appeared on her face.
Natalia went to school and came home every day, studying hard. Hector hadn’t been to school since
that day.
This day four days after Magnus left Melfort, Natalia waved goodbye to Sabrina and Lexi after school,
then headed home to Maplewood Manor to study for her final exams, which were only half a month
away
The manor wasn’t far from the school, just a short walk away. Just as she crossed the intersection,
Kendra appeared and blocked her path. Frowning. she asked, “What do you want now?”
Kendra stared at her fiercely “You have no shame, Natalia. You still have the nerve to go to school. You
must have been thrilled when you saw Magnus have his bodyguard beat me up. Do you know I spent a
week in the hospital because of you?”
Kendra looked at the sister she’d bullied since they were children. Now she was living so happily, and
Magnus had even hit her for Natalia. She could no longer hide her hatred. She wished she could tear
Natalia’s face apart
Natalia looked at her “You ran to the mansion to hit me that day. Who else is there to blame? I’ve said it
before, we should live our separate lives from now on As for Magnus hitting you, I have already asked
him not to hold a grudge But how could I possibly control Magnus thoughts? hoped you would stop
causing trouble in the future!”
Upon hearing Natalia’s words, Kendra was so angry that her blood boiled. She thought, “Oh, so now
that you’ve become a substitute, you dare to talk
back to me?”
Just as Kendra was about to reply, she saw Natalia continue walking past her, as if she didn’t care to
talk to her Kendra grabbed her by the wrist. Where do you think you’re going? Didn’t you hear me when
I told you to leave Magnus and Maplewood Manor?”
She couldn’t stand the sight of Natalia always appearing so calm and collected She wanted to tear her
face apart
Natalia turned to look at her Tve told you to discuss this with Magnus. As long as he agrees. I’ll leave
immediately
Kendra knew she couldn’t possibly approach Magnus Only if Natalia left would she have a chance to
reclaim her position as the CEO’s wife.
“When will you leave Magnus? You’re not his wife, so what are you doing at Maplewood Manor?
Kendra stared at her
1 don’t want to repeat myself Goodbye Natalia really didn’t want to deal with her any longer She
needed to study for her upcoming exams.
I’m telling you, Natalia. I’m giving you three days to figure out how to leave Otherwise, I’ll make you
lose everything, and you’ll even wish you were dead?” A chilling light suddenly appeared in her eyes
Natalia looked at her expression and replied seriously. “When you had me marty in your place, you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwere just as righteous. And now you’re asking me to leave I’ve already paid my debts to you, and I
won’t be manipulated by you anymore. Even if I leave Magnus, do you really think he would marry you?
She had gotten a grasp of what type of person Magnus was Even if she left he would marry Kendra,
because she’d figured uul ha real reason for marrying Kendra was to get back at Lucius
Her azure eyes sparkled with mockery, vividly recalling that fateful year when Kendra decided to make
her the laughingstock. Kendra had forced her inta a rag tag outfit, picked up for a few pennies from a
roadside stall, then paraded her around at the school fair. The mockery from the other students was
deafening
“This is my maid Kendra would introduce her to classmates
She would compel her to carry her backpack, and to fetch her lunch. Kendra was the haughty princess
and Natalia, the humble handmaid
After meals, Natalia was ordered to wash the dishes. Kandra found new ways to torment hi every day.
But this came to a hall when Natalia, with
1/2
outstanding grades, was admitted to Melfort College, while Kendra, who neglected her studies, was
given a free pass to another university.
Natalia finally escaped Kendra’s torment. But now, Kendra wanted to regain control over her, like old
times. Only this time, Natalia was not so compliant She had Magnus now, her rock and protector.
Hearing that Natalia would not leave Magnus filled Kendra with a destructive desire.
Natalia, without paying her any attention, turned on her heel and walked away
The fury in Kendra’s eyes was on the brink of overflowing. She gave a slight nod towards someone
across the street, before stepping into her car and driving away.
As Natalia neared Maplewood Manor, she was halted yet again. This time two sly–looking men stopped
her with smirks on their faces.
