SWNOVELS Chapter 90
Chapter 90
If it wasn’t for her listening to Kyler and allowing this little brat to live in their home, she would have starved to death in some
corner a long time ago.
And now? She had raised this ungrateful child, only for her to betray her and hurt Kendra, leaving Kendra physically and
emotionally scarred. Unforgivable! Natalia was taken aback when Addison’s first reaction upon seeing her was to take a swing at
her.
Since she married into the Andersen family as Kendra’s substitute, Addison had never once asked if she was doing well. Natalia
understood this. After all, Addison was her stepmother and it was only natural for her not to care about her, even hate her Natalia
never resented Addison for this. But she also said that by marrying as Kendra’s substitute, she repaid the debt of gratitude she
owed the Clarkson family for raising her
For Kendra and Addison to follow her to Maplewood Manor to bully her was really crossing the line
Addison was astonished by Natalia’s newfound courage since marrying Magnus She glared at Natalia, eyes bulging in anger,
and spat, “You’ve got some nerve, don’t you? Have you forgotten you place? Just because Kyler and some floozy had you, you
think you can stand up to me?”
“Place” Natalia’s face hardened at Addison’s words For the first time in her life, she coldly stared back at Addison, “Speaking of
place, perhaps you’ve forgotten where you are. This is Maplewood Manor, Magnus‘ home, not the Clarkson’s. As you wished, I
am now Magnus woman. By repeatedly coming to Maplewood Manor to attack me, are you going after me or Magnus?”
In the past, to survive in the Clarkson family, Natalia had to swallow her pride. But now, she was no longer willing to be
mistreated.
Addison didn’t expect Natalia to use Magnus as a shield. At Natalia’s words, her expression changed drastically. She stuttered.
You don’t give me that Just because Magnus is powerful, you think he’ll divorce Kendra and marry you, a bastard? I warn you.
Quit daydreaming. Even if you seduce Magnus. Morgan will never accept you. Only Kendra is worthy of being his wife.
If it werent for Natalia, her daughter Kendra wouldn’t be in such a pitiful state Addison was seething with hatred for Natalia,
longing to tear her apart However, ever since Natalia married into the Andersen family, she seemed to have changed. She was
calm and collected, a far cry from her previous docile self
A bastard will always be a bastard, and like mother, like daughter Addison sneered, thinking that all the obedience Natalia
showed in front of them in the past was just an act
Upon hearing Addison’s harsh words, Natalia, who was usually calm, felt her eyes well up with tears. Yes, I’m not worthy of the
Andersen family. I’m just a bastard
Holding back her tears, she sneered, “If that’s the case, why didn’t Kendra marry into this family in the first place? But even if
what you said is true, so what? I, Natalia, am the one by his side now. Whether Magnus gets divorced or not is his business, and
I don’t care about the position of being his wife. If you want something, go talk to Magnus. After all, you were the one who
insisted on me marrying Magnus. And it’s not my fault for being a bastard. You can settle the score with Kyler for that.”
She looked coldly at Addison. She was tired of being bullied. Even though she was born out of wedlock, did she have a choice?
She knew her mother wasn’t like that though. She’d lost her memories of her life before the age of five, but she believed her
mother wasn’t the villain Addison painted her to be
For over a decade, she’d endured their bullying and humiliation. She never thought of settling scores with them. But they pushed
her too far, repeatedly coming to Maplewood Manor to bully her, with Kendra even attempting to take her life. Even Natalia was a
fool, she would know there was no point in keeping up pretenses with these two
“You Addison was taken aback by Natalia’s words and raised her hand again to slap her. Her hand had barely risen when she
caught sight of Natalias frosty stare Her eyes glowed with a cold blue light, like a blade piercing Addison’s heart, making her
shudder
The hand she’d raised fell limp, her mind flashing back to the time when Kendra had slapped her, and Magnus had his men beat
Kendra to a pulp before sending her home. Slowly Addison lowered her hand, glaring at Natalia with a heated fury
Natalia didn’t believe Addison had the guts to strike her today. She merely watched Addison in silence
With teary eyes, Addison retracted her hand and accused Natalia, “You ungrateful brat. you’re so ruthless!”
“Even if 1, Addison, didn’t treat you as my own, I raised you. You took Kendra’s place and nearly had Magnus take her life. How
could you do such a thing” Days had passed since Kendra had narrowly escaped death. The doctor had said it was her luck if
Magnus fountain pen had been off by just a fraction or applied a bit more force, she would’ve been done for
Even though Kyler had strictly forbidden her from confronting Natalia, she couldn’t swallow her resentment. What right did this
illegitimate child have to behave so audaciously?
The position of Magnus wife was supposed to be Kendra’s.
“Heh!” Upon hearing Addison’s reproach, Natalia chuckled “Who is the guilty one here? I believe we all know very well. When
Kendra tied me up and threw me into the sea, why didn’t you speak up for justice then? You watched your own daughter harm
someone and still protect her. As for what Magnus did, I don’t know, and I don’t want to know That’s his business. So please
leave and don’t invite trouble onto yourself.”
