The Imposter Bride

Chapter 302

As soon as his words fell, a bombshell exploded within the confines of the conference room, leaving the shareholders in utter shock, and sparking an immediate uproar

“How could this happen? Why would he touch that stuff?

“Exactly once you’re hooked on the hard stuff, you’re a goner”

“This is terrifying What’s going to happen to the company?”

“This is a disaster How could something like this happen?”

Lucius watched the scene unfold before him with satisfaction, his heart brimming with triumph. He raised his hand, silencing the room. “Everyone, calm down. Given these circumstances, I must step up as your deputy CEO We cannot allow our corporation to fall into the hands of a drug addict. That would be signing our own death warrant!”

Lucius words resonated with the shareholders. After all, their priority was their profits. Whether it was Magnus or Lucius who held the CEO’s position was irrelevant to them. They were content as long as they could comfortably collect their annual dividends.

Therefore, the first shareholder to fully comprehend this stood up “Absolutely, we cannot hand over our enterprise to such a person. We cannot stand idle and watch our empire crumble! I propose we revoke the position of CEO from Magnus and appoint Lucius as CEO.

Once someone took the lead, those who were previously hesitant would slowly follow suit

Soon after this shareholder’s proposal, the rest, eager not to be left behind, responded in kind, “I agree, we should revoke Magnus‘ position and appoint Lucius instead.”

“I agree!”

“I approve!

“I consent, too!

In no time, Lucius was unanimously appointed as the new CEO of Andersen Corporation. He promptly replaced all the department heads with his loyal followers, then sat back, smugly demanding that the cleaning staff throw out all of Magnus” belongings and replace them with his preferred office equipment.

News of Magnus drug addiction spread like wildfire within the company Sensing a juicy story, the local tabloid journalists wasted no time in printing this shocking news The headline From Diamond Studded CEO to Down–and–Out Drug Addict.] was splashed across the front page, sending shockwaves through the streets of Melfort The news quickly sent Andersen Corporation’s stock plummeting as panicked shareholders rushed to sell their shares.

Meanwhile, back at the private hospital, Dr. Frankie was tending to Morgan, completely unaware of the chaos unfolding outside

After administering an IV to Morgan and seeing the steady rhythm of his heartbeat on the monitor, Dr. Frankie breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat from his brow and instructed the attending nurse. ‘Morgan was indeed on death’s door. It’s truly a miracle he survived. Remember, no more shock or excitement like this, it could be fatal.” After laying these instructions, Dr. Frankie exited the room, leaving the nurses to prepare the necessary medications

He approached Natalia, who was leaning against the wall. “He’s out of danger now”

“That’s good to hear I didn’t expect things to turn out like this “Natalia sighed deeply With Morgan and Magnus in adjacent hospital rooms, it was a heartbreaking sight.

Dr Frankie, feeling helpless, suddenly realized that Lucius, who had accompanied Morgan, was missing “Wait, where’s Lucius?”

Natalia shook her head “Who knows? He’s always up to no good”

Her words proved to be prophetic, as James called just then.

Natalia answered the call, and James frantic voice filled the line “Natalia, that bastard Lucius has crossed the line! He’s publicly announced that Mr. Magnus is a serious drug abuser, not only has he stolen the CEO position, but he’s caused a massive sell–off of Andersen Corporation’s stocks, causing the stock price to plummet. I really want to punch his lights out!”

Natalia gasped, she hadn’t expected so much to have occurred in such a short time. She didn’t want James to actually confront Lucius and exacerbate the situation, and hastily advised him, “James, don’t worry about Lucius right now. The most important thing now is to find Belle. Let’s wait for Magnus to wake up, then tackle this. I’m sure when he’s awake, he’ll sort everything out”

As long as he was awake, her world would be at peace, and so would everyone else’s. He was a king a god who controlled everything, and she believed in him. She believed he would survive!

James agreed with Natalias words. “Yes, you’re night, Natalia. You always think things through. I’ll continue looking for Belle. She’s even more despicable than Lucus

After hanging up, Natalia turned to Dr. Frankie, whispering “We can’t let Morgan find out about this. It might trigger a relapse.”

Dr. Frankie nodded in agreement “Of course, ma am. I’ll ensure the news does not reach him”

But it was already too late

While they were discussing outside his room, Morgan had awakened. His phone lay on the bedside table, several of the company’s shareholders had alreach called | picked up his phone. “Hello?”

“Mr. Morgan, how do you explain your grandson’s drug addiction? The company is in turmoil, stocks are plummeting and Lucius has seized control. Who responsibility for this?

Before the stockholder could even finish his sentence, Morgan had already fainted and the phone in his hand crashed onto the floor

“Beep–beep beep-

The shrill alarm of the heart monitor cut through the air, causing Dr. Frankie and Natalia to spin around in alarm. They were met with the sight of Morgan, clutching ha chest, writhing in pain on the hospital bed

Dr Frankie hurried into the room, performing CPR on Morgan while peppering him with questions. “M: Morgan, what’s wrong? Where does it hurt?

But the fine on the heart monitor was slowly flattening out and the piercing alarm sounded a ceaseless warning

Nurses and interns began to gather, assisting Dr Frankie in trying to save Morgan. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Epinephine

“Cet the defibrillator ready”

Natalia watched anmously from the sidelices. Even though Morgan wasn’t particularly fond of her she didnt wish for anything bad to happen to the old man, especially net when Magnus was in such a state! After all, he was Magnus‘ grandfather How would Magnus cope when he woke up

The chaos in the emergency room continued the seconds ticking by The line on the heart monitor remained unresponsive Iving there as sillas death
