The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 538

Ha, she’d been to hell and back, hadn’t she? What was there to fear now?

Since Magnus had pierced through her charade, Alice couldn't be bothered to keep up the act anymore. Gone was the facade of frailty. A fierce glint flashed in her eyes as she tried to shake off Magnus’ grip. "Let go!"This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

However, Magnus was clutching her wrist with a vice-like grip, nearly snapping it. Alice couldn't break free.

After failing to shake him off, Alice glared at him, her voice thick with anger. "If you don't want your precious darling to come to any harm, you'd better start treating me with some respect!"

A jolt of shock went through Magnus. She wasn’t his wife! If this woman had the guts to impersonate his spouse, then it meant Natalia was in danger. Without a second thought, he released Alice, his voice laced with urgency, "Where's my wife? What do you want? Who are you? Why are you pretending to be Natalia?"

“Ha, Magnus, with so many questions, which do you want me to answer first?" Seeing the sweat on Magnus' brow, Alice felt a mix of hatred and jealousy. Why did Natalia get all the good things in life? In what way was Alice inferior?

“No matter,” she thought darkly. “Everything Natalia has, | will take, and destroy.” With a sinister gaze, Alice slowly peeled away the prosthetic mask from her face, revealing her true identity.

“Alice? It's you!" Magnus was astounded, not expecting the foolish woman he had once encountered at Rowell’s funeral to now be standing in his own home.

Alice sneered, "Magnus, you and Natalia really are a match made in heaven! So quick to look down on others. Yes, | am Alice, the true daughter of the Duke of Rowell!"

"Is that so?" Magnus quickly regained his composure, his tone unwavering. "Yet, | recall hearing that this “true daughter” was kicked out by the new Lord of the castle. | wonder what sort of misfortune has compelled you to target my wife. I've got one piece of advice of you. Turn back while you can. You don’t want to play with fire."

Alice's face turned crimson with rage as her secret was exposed. She glared at Magnus, her voice rising to a frenzied scream. "Shut up! No matter what, | am the legitimate heiress of McKinney Castle, and Natalia is nothing but a shameful bastard!"

Magnus looked at Alice coolly. "Quite the legitimate heiress, aren't you? Now, tell me your true intentions and where you've hidden my wife."

Alice's smirk was chilling. "Oh, Magnus, you're so much sharper than your dim-witted woman. Yes, I've tied up that idiot, Natalia!"

Before she could finish, Magnus had seized her throat and lifted her off the ground. His eyes blazed with murderous intent. "Bring my wife back unharmed, or I'll kill you!"

The air around Magnus turned icy as if his rage had chilled the very atmosphere. Alice laughed in the face of death, confident she had grasped Magnus' Achilles’ heel. His reaction confirmed he'd do anything for Natalia.

Her voice, though choked, was mocking, "You think I'm stupid? If | tell you where Natalia is, you'll strangle me without a second thought!"

Alice was sure of herself. "If you don't want anything bad to happen to Natalia, you'd best treat me kindly. Otherwise, | have a hundred ways to make her wish for death."

As her threat hung in the air, Magnus slowly released his grip. For a moment, he wanted nothing more than to snuff out her life. But he couldn't. Where was his wife?

His heart felt as if it was being torn apart. He should have known. The phone call he had with Natalia earlier felt off.

Until he knew Natalia was safe, he couldn't afford rash actions. Despite his seething rage, Magnus kept his temper in check. He needed to be rational, to rescue his wife from her dire situation.

After tossing Alice to the floor, his chest heaved with anger. Then, in a cold voice, he demanded, "Your motives. Speak. You have three minutes."

Alice, picking herself up, grinned smugly. "Haha, Magnus, ine saa your pow rf yourhiave bow to me? WD sab sore | want to replace Natalia, to live the life she once had." Please read the original content at .

"Delusional!" Magnus spat out. "You can't do it?" Alice circled him. "My patience has its limits, Magnus. If you don't want Natalia hurt, make me happy."

She then plopped down on the sofa, adopting the air of a lady of the house, idly tending to her nails. "Otherwise, | can't guarantee what my associates might do to her."

Her threat pierced Magnus like a needle. Natalia!

"You!" Magnus’ fists clenched so tight his knuckles turned white, veins popped at his temples, and e ayn muscle t sect eee hits f from thrbeeth the vile woman standing before him! His eyes were bloodshot with fury as he glared at the smirking Alice, wishing he could just wipe her off the face of the earth. Please read the original content at .

Alice looked back at Magnus unfazed, even letting out a sly chuckle. ‘what's .goersibe?¥0U gonnaxtakethe out right here, right now, Or you wanna wait around to pick up the pieces of your dear wife?" Please read the original content at .

Magnus' hands were creaking under the pressure of his grip, and with a heavy breath, he reluctantly lowered his head. "What do you want me to do?"
