Chapter 317
Just then, hurried footsteps echoed from the entrance, and the security guards sauntered over, yanking
Michael by the arm as they escorted him
out
“Mr. Andersen, please show mercy! Forgive us, please!” Michael’s voice gradually faded into the
distance until it was no longer audible.
The CEO’s office was once again quiet. Magnus stood in front of the large floor–to–ceiling windows,
silently observing the world outside.
James broke the silence Magnus, what’s our next move?”
“Wait Isabella will show up soon”
Sure enough, just as Michael was forced out of Andersen Corporation, Isabella found herself in
Magnus office the very next day.
Magnus had deliberately pressured the Simmons Group, hoping to corner Isabella. But as he gazed at
the venomous woman standing in front of him, he felt a bitter taste of irony. He had allowed this woman
to wreak havoc on his life.
Facing the fully–recovered and imposing Magnus, a hint of despair flashed in Isabella’s eyes. She had
known all along that he would find out about her true identity once he woke up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt’s just because she wasn’t ruthless enough. If she had been, how could she have given Natalia the
antidote to revive him? She still loved him
after all.
“If it weren’t for my mercy, you wouldn’t be alive right now! And instead of being grateful, you are
tormenting my parents. You are heartless!” Isabella yelled defiantly, her eyes set on Magnus icy ones.
“Mercy” Magnus scoffed “Isabella, you’ve always had a knack for twisting the truth. Did you save me?
Tell me, who poisoned me in the first place?”
Faced with Magnus accusations, Isabella faltered, but quickly regained her composure. “Yes, I
poisoned you. But only because you refused to accept my love. After all these years, you’ve only
repaid me with cruelty. You forced my father and me to cut ties, leaving me penniless. And now, even
though I’ve returned, you still don’t love me. Magnus, I wonder if you have a heart at all! I acted
impulsively by poisoning you. But didn’t give you the antidote in the end? And you, you’re relentless
and relentless, pushing our Simmons Group to bankruptcy but still not willing to let it go. i may be in the
wrong, but I don’t want my parents to end up on the streets Magnus why are you so ruthless! You and I
are the same kind of people!
Magnus fury blazed in his eyes, and he practically spat fire at Isabella. “You dare accuse me of
heartlessness? If it wasn’t for my wife, who agreed to your demands behind my back, would you have
given me the antidote?”
Isabella shrank back, pleading, “Magnus, you know I’ve always loved you I was willing to do anything
for you, even the most outrageous things As long as it was for you, I was willing to do it!”
“Enough” Magnus snapped. “Isabella, don’t you dare utter the word love‘ in front of me again You’ve
defiled it. All you’ve ever loved is my power and wealth. If I were a beggar on the street today, you
wouldn’t even spare me a glance!”
“Stop! Enough!” Isabella retorted “What’s wrong with wanting a high–quality life? Does true love mean
having to beg on the streets? Yes, I love luxury and glamour, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love you!”
Magnus slammed his fist onto his desk, making a loud bang “Isabella, your soul is so corrupted by
money, it’s revolting! You’ve always prioritized money above all else. But to me, my wife is the most
important. Without her, I’d rather be dead!”
Seeing Isabella’s terrified expression, Magnus knew he had hit a nerve. “Isabella, I gave you a chance
once. Five years ago, when you and Kendra caused the premature birth of my child and my wife’s
tragic fall into the sea. I sold Kendra to an underground casino to live a life of disgrace But all I did to
you was sever the ties between you and your father, i thought your disappearance was out of guilt, but I
was wrong. Your soul was never pure Everything you’ve done is disgusting!”
Magnus tossed a file in front of Isabella “Look at this You were held captive on a farm, and your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdisgusting videos were recorded and sold to cruel viewers. You managed to escape from the man who
held you captive. There must be some secrets hidden in this story, and it’s time to unearth them”
“No, please don’t!” Isabella was truly scared now. If Magnus dug up her past, her crimes would be
exposed. She regretted provoking him. He was a man to be feared
As he watched her terrified face, Magnus knew he was right. There were shocking secrets hidden in
Isabella’s escape, and he intended to
uncover them
“Magnus, no, Mr. Andersen, I am deeply sorry for the mistakes I’ve made in the past. Here’s a deal if
you could spare my father and our Simmons Group, I swear, I will never show up in front of you again,
nor will I ever disturb you Truly, I swear”
Isabella’s desperate plea, however, did not soften Magnus heart. His gaze was cold and stern when he
looked at isabella standing in front of him. “Then tell me, what deal did you make with my wife that
made you give me the antidote?”
Upon hearing his words, Isabella saw a glimmer of hope and immediately responded, “I made her
swear to leave you forever, and to never return to you. She sweared on her son If she breaks her
promise, her son will suffer greatly!”
Magnus staggered back upon hearing her words A storm of emotions raged in his heart. So Isabella
had made Natalia swear on Jonas‘ Mile. No wonder Natalia left him so thoroughly and disappeared
from his world
