The Imposter Bride

Chapter 93

She spun around and glared at Kyler, her words almost spit out through gritted teeth, “Kyler, have you lost your mind? Kendra is going through a rough time, and not only did you not help her, but you joined forces with Magnus and Natalia to upset her!

What kind of father are you? I must have been blind to have spent my life with you, Addison!” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

She and Kendra shared the same mindset. The position of Mr. Andersen had somehow fallen into their laps.

And that proved that it was their rightful possession. They would hold on to what was theirs, even if it meant to their dying breath.

She couldn’t possibly agree to a divorce, considering that she would get half of Andersen Corporation’s wealth in the future.

However, she didn’t expect that Natalia’s stubbornness about not leaving, coupled with Magnus‘ ruthless indifference, would escalate things to this point.

Kyler didn’t want to say any more to the mother and daughter. He turned around and left the ward room, heading straight for the company

In France, Sabrina hurriedly got out of bed in the morning. After she got dressed, she rushed downstairs.

She was stunned to see a man sitting at the dining table downstairs, eating breakfast elegantly.

Then she remembered, her fiancé was back yesterday..

Upon seeing her, Marian immediately greeted her with a smile, “Miss Shaw, you should eat breakfast quickly. You’ll be late for school.”

“It’s okay, just give me a toast and a glass of milk.” Sabrina sat down and fiddled with the napkin, without even glancing at the man at the table.

The man, being ignored, frowned slightly, “Miss Shaw, where are you off to?” He asked. Yesterday she had given him the cold shoulder, and today she didn’t even bother to greet him.

Did this girl hate him that much? It was summer break, wasn’t it? And yesterday, she was even brought home by a man.

Great, she’d only been here a few days and she was already getting chummy with guys.

“I’m going to school. Sabrina replied flatly, not even sparing him a glance.

“But it’s the summer break time, right?” Carter raised his gaze to look at the girl in a light blue dress, exuding a delicate and charming aura.

“I signed up for a summer course.” Sabrina finally looked at the man while munching on her toast.

“So we won’t see each other often this summer. You don’t have to hide at the ends of the earth.

Hide at the ends of the earth? Did she think she was some kind of monster?

“Miss Shaw, I think we should talk.” This was unheard of. His grandfather had sent this girl to France to win him over, didn’t he? So why was she still going to school and letting other men bring her home late at night.

She had been living quite well while he was away.

“About what?” Sabrina looked at the handsome yet indifferent face of the man.

He put down his cutlery, took a seat on the sofa, and crossed his legs leisurely. He then lit a cigarette.

“If I’m not wrong, Miss Shaw, you’re here in France under your grandfather’s orders, right? To bond with me so we can get engaged sooner and fulfill the dreams of our elders” Carter looked at the girl’s elegant face.

“So what?” Sabrina looked at the man with wide eyes.

“Perhaps you should put off going to school for now. Stay at the villa or come to my company and do what a personal secretary should do. Otherwise. we won’t see each other for days. When will we start to feel something for each other?” The man looked somewhat rogue in the lingering smoke.

“Personal secretary?” Sabrina chuckled.

“Do you think I’m cut out for that? Mr. Cliff, let’s not even talk about how we’ve never met before. You know very well that I came to France because of our grandfathers‘ wishes.”

She got up gracefully, wiped her mouth and said with a smile, “I don’t think we can develop any feelings, let alone me being your personal secretary What we should do right now is to not interfere with each other’s lives. After half a year or a year, when our grandfathers ask, you can tell them that there were no sparks between us. Maybe then they won’t force us to get married. What do you think, Mr Cliff?”

Carter stared blankly at the girl’s charming smile and the words that came out of her mouth. He suddenly felt as if the blood in his body was flowing in the wrong direction

He never expected that this girl’s intentions in coming to France would be like this.

He, the heir of the Cliff family, the famous CEO, was being rejected. This girl didn’t take him seriously: she was just putting on a show for their grandfathers

He felt humiliated. He had always been the one to reject women not the other way around.

His expression turned as cold as winter wind. He looked at the girls cheerful fate with a tint of sarcasm.

Suddenly, he felt like a joke being rejected like that

Miss Shaw is right i also believe that there’s no sparks between us. However, since it’s difficult for either of us to explain to ma grandlathers, I don’t mind trying to see if we can spark a flame That way we won’t have to wait for a year or se Don’t you agree? His gazes were a deep as the ocean and he stared at her soldly.

touring his words, Sabrina’s heart skipped a beat. Try? Try what?”

The man didn’t answer Instead, he stood up from the sofa and slowly approached Sabrina, lifting her chin with his hand.

Their eyes met, and it was like lightning striking, “Of course, we need to see if we can spark a flame. What do you say, Sabrina?”

Boom! Sabrina’s brain felt as if it had been struck by lightning. Her heart was pounding.

He actually called her name.

“You… stop joking around!” Sabrina immediately took a step back, slung her bag on her shoulder, and prepared to leave.

But her slender wrist was instantly caught by a warm hand, “What’s wrong? Are you shy?” The man behind her chuckled lowly.

“We’re engaged, and we should start nurturing our feelings as the elders wish.” With a gentle pull, Sabrina stumbled into his arms.

Then a pair of strong arms wrapped around her small body.

Sabrina immediately tried to push the man away, but Carter, watching her flushed face, didn’t budge.

Sabrina got angry, and she looked up at him, her eyes widened in anger, “Let go! What gives you the right to touch me!” This man was truly shameless.

“Is it a crime for me to touch my fiancée? Hm?” His warm breath sprayed onto Sabrina’s ear.

She was wound as tight as a coiled spring. “Who said anything about us being engaged? You’ve been avoiding me for weeks, haven’t you? That just proves that you don’t approve of our grandparents‘ decision either. So why pretend to come back now and go through with this ridiculous marriage?”

As he listened to her tirade, a slow, amused smile began to spread across Carter’s face. “So you’re upset about me being absent for a few weeks, huh?” He watched the fuming girl before him, a sudden surge of joy welling up in his heart.

“Alright, I apologize. I shouldn’t have been MIA for so long. That’s on me.”

But something about this situation felt off to him.

A voice in his head was urging him to conquer this girl. To make her adore and worship him like all the other girls.

“Who asked for your apology?” she snapped back. “I’d be happier if you disappeared for six months. Or better yet, forever.” The man was surprisingly strong, refusing to let go of her.

Carter chuckled. “Now, that won’t do. How could I possibly stay away for half a year? If I’d known you’d be this upset, I would’ve come to pick you up that day. I’m sorry.” He grinned down at the girl in his arms.
