Chapter 174
With a nonchalant air, Kendra tossed her secretly recorded video to the operations manager Without an ounce of shame, she began to play the video Suddenly, the small room was filled with intimate sounds of a man and a woman. The passionate scenes left the manager blushing
if his eyes weren’t deceiving him, the woman in the video was the same glamorous lady standing in front of him, right?
They were private investigators, though, and they’d seen it all So after an initial blush, he coolly asked Kendra. “Whose face do you want us to swap in?”
Kendra tossed a photo of Magnus onto the table, and arrogantly ordered “Him. And make sure it’s flawless I don’t want anyone to suspect it’s been edited.”
The manager examined the photo, shocked. He hesitated “Miss, are you sure about this?” The man in the photo was none other than the newly appointed CEO of Andersen Corporation His face had been plastered across every major newspaper Anyone living in Melfort would recognize him Furthermore, Andersen was known for his ruthless business tactics. He showed no mercy to those who dared to challenge him
Considering his own livelihood in Melfort, the operations manager promptly refused Kendra’s request Tm sorry, Miss We can’t take this job”
“Why not?” Kendra was perplexed “You’re turning down money? Are you out of your mind?”
The operations manager chuckled politely it’s because we’re not out of our minds If we cross Mr. Andersen because of this, we might lose everything
in Melfort
Kendra immediately understood. The man in charge was aware of Magnus influence and was afraid of incurring his wrath She considered finding a different agency but quickly abandoned the idea if everyone was afraid of Magnus, then it wouldn’t matter how many agencies she approached The
result would be the same
“Relax, I’m an old friend of Mr. Andersen, Kendra reassured him. This video is just a prank. If anything happens, I’ll take full responsibility and I won’t mention your involvement Name your price, as long as the video is to my satisfaction”
Kendra’s words caused the operations manager to reconsider After all, money was their primary motivation. If they could earn a hefty sum without any risk, why would they refuse?
“Deal!”
With that, he copied the video onto his computer and got to work. His fingers flew over the keyboard as he swiftly edited the video according to Kendras
instructions
When Kendra saw the final product, she was more than satisfied. The edited video was so well done that even she couldn’t tell it was doctored. She almost believed she’d had a passionate night with Magnus.
Natalia, get ready for the surprise I have in store for you!”
Sapphire Island
Natalia leaned against the balcony. Her eyes blankly stared at the seemingly endless sea. Her heart was in turmoil, and she couldn’t find peace. The setting sun painted half the sea red, casting a melancholy aura
Natalia lowered her gaze to her swollen belly quietly feeling the life growing within her
“Baby, in just a couple of months you’ll be here i cant wait to see if you look more like Mommy or Daddy” Her monologue drifted towards thoughts of Magnus
it had been a while since they’d had a proper conversation. The mansion was only occupied by her, May, Linden, and a few servants
Even Hector, who had fought with Magnus, was nowhere to be seen. He was probably blacklisted from Sapphire Island
The thought of Magnus always led to images of him and isabella Her heart ached Even so, why did she feel a sense of loss when she didn’t see hun?
Could it be that she still couldn’t let go of Magnus, despite his betrayal? She had hoped that time and motherhood would help her move past her heartbreak, but it seemed she still held on to him. She was truly hopeless
With a sigh Natalia felt a gentle kick from her belly A smile spread across her face Little one are you eager to see the world? But you must be patient. Mommy needs to carry you to full term in just a month you’ll be able to experience the wonders of the world
Natalia gently rubbed her belly soothing the restless life within her. Her heart was filled with sweetness When she didert think about Majnus and isabella she felt pretty good. This little life would be her only hope her beacon of light in the darkness
