Chapter 289
Parched like a desert traveler. Magnus hastily sipped the freshly brewed tea, only to spit it out
instantaneously. He demanded in a stern voice, “What happened to this tea? Are you sure this is the
same stuff Molly usually makes?”
The startled assistant nodded nervously. “Yes sir This is the only tea in Molly’s cabinet, the Arabica, it is
“No! That’s not the tastel Go find Molly now immediately, right now! Magnus roared his mind filled with
thoughts of the tea Molly usually brewed for him.
“Alright, alright The assistant was relieved He would rather run till he broke a leg to find Molly than bear
the brunt of Magnus fury
“Such irresponsibility! She promised and didn’t keep her word, instead, she took off without notice That
Molly, when she comes back, I’ll give her a piece of my mind?” Magnus fumed, pacing the room as his
anger flared
Meanwhile Belle had been keeping an eye on the CEO’s office since Molly’s departure When she saw
Magnus dismissed the server who brewed the tea she knew her plan had worked
Watch out Natalia and Magnus 111 make your lives a living hell!
Magnus was waiting anxiously in his office, feeling an inner rage burning. He vented his anger by
smashing everything in his office but still felt unsatisfied
“Argh!” Magnus shouted as he felt his limbs start to numb. He collapsed on the floor rolling around.
He felt as though his body was crawling with insects, an unbearable mixture of itchiness and numbness
His bones ached as if a blunt knife was scraping inside him, a torture worse than death by a thousand

“Ah
Paul was supposed to pick up Magnus that day. As he pushed open the office door, he found Magnus
rolling on the floor in distress Startled, he rushed to Magnus side bending down to help him, “Sit, what
happened?”
Magnus was already delinous His eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Paul, who was trying to help
him, with a hideous face. Without hesitation, he swung his fist at Paul Paul was caught off guard and
was punched squarely by Magnus, falling to the ground with blood seeping from his nose
Looking at the frantic Magnus. Paul realized the severity of the situation. He ignored the bleeding from
his nose, and bent down again, trying to help Magnus up from the ground
But Magnus how was not the calm and wise Magnus he knew He was like a madman and did not
recognize Paul His mind was filled with thoughts of destruction. His inner rage was burning ferociously,
demanding the annihilation of everything in sight!
As Paul bleeding from his forehead, bent down to help Magnus up, he was met with more ferocious
punches
Paul braced himself against the forceful punches and managed to help Magnus up “Sir, what’s
happening? It’s me, Paul!”
However, Paul’s words fell on deaf ears Magnus, who had just been helped up, was holding a bronze
horse statue that he had knocked over, and without a second thought, he smashed it towards Paul’s
head
“Thump!”
Although Paul dodged. Magnus inevitably hit his forehead No matter how fough a person was, they
couldn’t win against a bronze artifact Blood began to stream down Paul’s forehead He shook his head
to clear the dizziness and managed to steady himself
But as soon as Paul had steadied himself, Magnus swung the bronze horse at him again.
“Get me teal Now Dr I’ll kill you” Magnus raved like a demon escaped from hell.
Paul dodged Magnus” attack, horrified Magnus‘ behavior was eerily similar to that of a drug addict.
“Get me teal Now Magnus swung the bronze horse at Paul
Paul knew talking was useless at this point. He quickly left the office and dialed 911. The ambulance
arrived promptly Medics managed to sedate Magnus and transported him to the Andersen family’s
private hospital via the CEO’s elevator
After all this was done, Paul, with his face smeared with blood finally called Natalia, “Malam,
something’s wrong with Mr. Magnus. I hope you can come to the hospital immediately”
Upon receiving Paul’s call, Natalia was taken aback. She knew Paul was very reliable. He wouldn’t
bother her unless he encountered something he couldn’t handle. Now he was telling her that Magnus
was in the hospital, what had happened?
On the way to the hospital, Natalia was restless, worrying about Magnus Was hell? He was perfectly
fine when he left in the morning Soon, she arrived at the hospital Paul greeted her as soon as she
walked in. ‘Ma’am, you’re finally here Thank goodness
“What’s wrong? What happened to Magnus? What happened? Natalia was shocked to see Paul’s

“What happened to you? Where’s Magnus? She looked around anxiously but didn’t see Magnus
“Majam, don’t panic. He just had a sedative He’s sleeping now Look Saying this. Paul led Natalia to the
window of Magnus ward.
Through the hospital’s transparent glass window Natalia was astonished to see Magnus bound to the
hospital bed. His face was pale and haggard as if he had been seriously ill
“Paul, why is Magnus tied up? What happened to him?”
Natalia couldn’t understand Magnus was fine when he jeft in the morning, but now he looked like a
completely different person
Paul sighed, “Maam, the boss seems to be suffering from withdrawal symptoms ”
“Addiction? Natalia stumbled back, shaking her head in disbelief Impossible!
No way it couldn’t be Magnus was not that kind of man. He was so exceptional, so distinguished, he
would never have anything to do with drugst
“Madam, I understand your disbelief. L too find it hard to believe, Paul responded pointing to his
bandaged towhead. “I went to pick up the young master and unluckily ran into him in the throes of
withdrawal. He began twitching uncontrollably, and then started to lash out. Ha hat me here with a
brass statue if I hadn’t dodged in time, I believe
he wouldn’t have hesitated to kill me on the spot
Natalia was too shocked to speak No the Magnus that Paul described was not the Magnus she knew
The Magnus she knew might have been a bit arrogant and stubborn, but he was certainly not a
bloodthirsty madman
How could he possibly be on drugs”
