The Imposter Bride - Season 1 Episode 45

The room fell into a hush, with everyone holding their breath in anticipation as Morgan prepared to announce the name.

Lucius, as if already sure of the outcome, nonchalantly adjusted his collar, leaning forward slightly, ready to ascend the stage and accept the congratulations.

Morgan’s gaze slowly drifted towards Lucius, then away from him.

At that moment, the conference room door creaked open. Linden, pushing a wheelchair,

entered the room, followed by Morgan’s assistant, Paul.

Morgan’s eyes lit up as they fell on the man in the wheelchair. He was dressed in a dark suit and his handsome features were highlighted, giving off an aura of wisdom. His wheelchair slowly rolled over the golden confetti on the floor, and he steadily came into everyone’s view His sharp gaze swept over the shareholders, eventually landing on Lucius. A coy smile played on his lips as he turned to the silver–haired old man beside him.

“Grandpa, I’ve come back to the Andersen Corporation.”

Morgan felt a surge of emotion as he looked at his grandson in the wheelchair, whom he’d always held close to his heart. He had grown up! With a sudden surge of energy, Morgan rose to his feet and declared, “The new leader of the group is – Magnus!”

The room fell into an eerie silence. Everyone’s gaze shifted to Magnus, then to Lucius.

Lucius had been panicking since the moment Magnus had rolled in, but he held firm to the belief that, no matter how much Morgan loved the handicapped Magnus, he couldn’t possibly hand the presidency to him.

But then he heard Magnus‘ name!

He thought he had misheard it. It wasn’t until everyone started looking at him that he realized Magnus was indeed the one whose name Morgan had announced.

He staggered to his feet. His eyes were darting to Morgan in disbelief. Grandpa, what did you say? Did you get the name wrong?”

He stood up, fists clenched tightly. He couldn’t believe what was happening. He’d worked tirelessly for nine years, building up his power. It couldn’t possibly end today!

Anthony, seeing Lucius on the verge of losing control, quickly interjected, ‘Dad, you said the new president was going to be Lucius, right? Why would you announce Magnus as the new president today? This is not a time for joke, Magnus hasn’t been involved with the company for years, and he’s been living on Sapphire Island This could lead to unrest

Morgan’s icy gaze landed on Anthony He knew his son and daughter–in–law had always favored Lucius. “Who said the presidency had to go to Luctus? Before, Magnus didn’t want to come back to Andersen Corporation. Now he has, and I think he’s more suited for the presidency than Lucius is.”

Chapter 45

Anthony looked at Morgan and fell silent.

Whispers filled the room. Everyone watched the power struggle unfold.

Morgan’s authoritative gaze swept over the shareholders. “I’ve decided who the new president will be. It’s Magnus Lucius will be vice president. Anthony will be the general manager of Andersen Corporation. Everything else remains the same.” He gestured to the man in the wheelchair. “Magnus, come here.”

Magnus rolled up to Morgan, looking up at him. “Thank you, grandpa. I won’t let you down. I’ll make Andersen Corporation shine brighter than ever!”

Morgan nodded. “I trust you. Work hard.”

With that, Morgan left the room, leaving Lucius in a state of shock. His sanity was on the brink of collapse, and he felt a surge of rage bubbling up within him.

Suddenly, a destructive rage emerged in his heart. Lillian walked over and took his hand, “Lucius, calm down. Don’t upset your grandpa at this time.” Lucius’s handsome face twisted in an instant. A monstrous hatred engulfed his chest.

Magnus had intentionally returned to snatch the position of President. Before this, he wanted to snatch his woman. Knowing that he had married an imposter, out of humiliation and

anger, he returned to snatch the position of President.

“Magnus, I will not let you succeed!” Lucius murmured.

Once Morgan left, the shareholders started whispering, “Can Magnus handle it? He’s been sick for years. It’s not easy to be the president of Andersen Corporation.”

“Yeah, what about Lucius? I always thought he would be the new president. I didn’t expect it

to be Magnus.

“Don’t underestimate Magnus. If Morgan appointed him, he must be competent.”

Magnus sat in his wheelchair with his lips pursed and his gaze cold as he looked at the familiar yet alien faces. His deep voice echoed through the room “Under my leadership. Andersen Corporation will reach the pinnacle of the world I swear here today, if Andersen Corporation doesn’t become the top business empire in the world within a year, I will step down as president!”

His powerful declaration echoed in everyone’s hearts. After a moment of stunned silence, the room erupted in applause. Magnus turned to Lucius, whispering something only the two of them could hear

“Lucius, I told you I’d make you fall from your high position and make you feel the pain I’ve felt. This is just the beginning. His cold eyes flashed with determination as he placed a hand on Lucius shoulder,

Lucius sneered, “You really think you can hold onto this CEO position?”

“Well, we’ll see!” Magnus, maneuvering his wheelchair, directly claimed the CEO’s chair

Chapter 45

Lillian stood up and walked over. “Magnus, you’ve been absent from the company for years, and you have no idea how hard it is to run a business. Your leg is not in good shape. You should rest and let Lucius handle the CEO position.”

Magnus slowly turned his head and silently stared at his biological mother. He still aware

that she had never favored him.

When he was just five years old and Lucius was seven, at that time, Lillian had returned from England, bringing with her a limited–edition model car for Lucius. When Magnus reached out to touch it, his mother slapped his hand away. “Don’t touch it, this car model is Lucius‘ favorite. If it breaks, he’ll be heartbroken.”

Magnus watched as Lillian placed the toy car out of his reach. A chill went straight to his heart. Since then, he had never asked his mother for anything. He isolated himself until

Jamie left. Jamie’s death left Magnus heartbroken.

On the night Jamie left, he called Magnus to his side. “Magnus, you’re growing up. I might not be able to take care of you anymore. You have to learn to be strong. And as for Lucius, his character is very strong and possessive. You shouldn’t compete with him.”
