The Imposter Bride - Season 4 Episode 6

The words of Isabella sent chills down Natalia’s spine. It was clear that Isabella had spiraled into a

dreadful abyss of her own making. Natalia regretted her brash decision to confront Isabella alone; she

should have brought James along.

But death held no fear if it meant getting the antidote.

Isabella, lost in her reminiscences, didn’t notice Natalia’s pale face. She threw her head back and

laughed, a sound filled with arrogance and triumph. “I watched him convulse on the ground until he

stopped breathing. Then, I took all his money and escaped that farm that held me captive for a year. I

traveled to Europe and had a plastic surgery. My face bears a sorrowful story. I wanted to discard my

past and start afresh, to live a life that’s truly mine!”

Natalia shivered. The most terrifying thing in the world was the human heart; it was capable of shifting

blame onto others despite knowing one’s faults.

“Do you know how I spent these years, Natalia?” Isabella sneered at Natalia, answering her own

question before Natalia could respond. “I got a new face, a clean slate, and studied business

management. I wanted to begin a new life, to repay the humiliation I suffered at your hands a

thousandfold! If not for you, I would still be the radiant heiress of the Simmons Group, not a plaything

for others’ lust! This is all your doing! All your fault!”

“Really, Isabella? Why do you always blame others and never reflect on yourself? Don’t you bear any

responsibility for the things that have happened to you?” Natalia retorted, feeling that Isabella had lost

her sanity.

“Me? What did I do wrong? Everything that’s happened is thanks to you! I forced myself to study and

quietly returned to Melfort. With my impressive resume, I easily secured a position at Andersen

Corporation. Thank heavens, they must have seen my burning desire for revenge and blessed me with

a smooth journey. I quickly rose to the position of executive assistant,” Isabella said, her gaze filled with

hatred as she looked at Natalia. “But when I saw Magnus, whom I hadn’t seen for years, the love I had

kept for him exploded. His handsome and rebellious face attracted me and kept me awake at night.

Every day, I yearned for his tender care.”

Natalia frowned, shaking her head internally. Isabella was beyond redemption.

“Why are you frowning? What right do you have to frown at me? If not for Magnus’ protection, you’re

nothing. You’re not even worth being my servant!” Isabella spat harshly, her hands clenching tightly as

she envisioned ripping Natalia apart.

“So, you drugged him? To make him have sex with you?” Natalia asked disdainfully. Even though she

knew Isabella would admit it, she couldn’t help but feel nauseous.

“That’s right. It was me!” Isabella admitted openly, without a trace of shame. “Why should a man as

outstanding as Magnus only have eyes for you? What do you have that I don’t? I dream of sleeping

with him, and even if it kills me, I’d die happy! What about you? Can you say the same?”

Natalia shook her head. “Isabella, you’re beyond redemption.”

Natalia’s words infuriated Isabella, who was already jealous of her. Isabella’s voice turned shrill, “Shut

up! Beyond redemption? It’s all your fault, you damned woman! If it wasn’t for you, he would have

succumbed to my drug and desired me! You must have bewitched him, and made him indifferent to

other women because even when drugged, he angrily drove me away! You heartless witch!”

“Isabella, can’t you see it clearly? Magnus and I are truly in love, not like what you’re saying! True love

surpasses everything; it can shatter any scheme. No matter how you manipulate it, your effort will be

useless. Stop it, Isabella,” Natalia pleaded once more.

Isabella laughed hysterically. “Ha, true love? Where is true love in this world? Natalia, you’re just lucky

that Magnus is devoted to you. But so what? Since he doesn’t have me in his heart, whatever I can’t

have, no one else can have! I’d rather destroy him than let anyone else have him!”

“So, you poisoned him?” Natalia asked accusingly.

“That’s right! If I can’t have him, I’d rather destroy him! Especially someone as proud as Magnus, who

not only rejected me but humiliated me in public. There’s no way I can swallow my anger! When

Magnus moved me from the President’s office to the sales department, I was utterly embarrassed. So, I

used Molly to add the expensive poison I bought from the black market into his tea. Hehe, Natalia,

without the formulation method, there’s no way to create an antidote for these poisons! I guess Magnus

has been struggling like a zombie these past few days, hasn’t he? Hahaha!”

After hearing Isabella’s words, Natalia looked at her with pity. “Isabella, you’re really insane. Magnus at

least had some affection for you in the past. Did you really go through with it?”

“Yes, I did! He had some affection for me, but…” Isabella clenched her teeth, “From the moment

Magnus chose you over me, I was already insane! Natalia, in what way am I inferior to you?! Why

should I always be second to you? Tell me, tell me!”

Natalia slowly shook her head. “True, your new face is indeed quite pleasing. But so what? Even with

the face of an angel, it can’t change your devilish heart! Your heart has been corrupted and twisted by

jealousy! Isabella, wake up, stop it! Before you make a big mistake, turn back!”

“Turn back? Natalia, the reason I took this path is entirely because of you! It’s all your fault! Why should

you alone have the best man in the world? Why can you effortlessly win everyone’s affection? Why?! I

hate you! I wish you would drop dead right now!” Isabella’s eyes blazed with fury, wishing she could

carve countless holes into Natalia.

“Isabella, don’t be so stubborn. Please hand over Magnus’ antidote. What good does torturing him do

for you?” Natalia tried to reason with Isabella, hoping she would see the light.

Hearing Natalia’s words, Isabella laughed until she was nearly in tears. “Ha-ha-ha, Natalia, are you a

fool? Why do you think I’ve been groveling in the dirt? Just to come back and get my revenge on you!

To give you back all the humiliation I’ve suffered! Do you want the antidote? Here it is, come and get it!”
