Chapter 358
Upon hearing the doctor's words, Hector's previously ecstatic face crumbled instantly. He had been on
the verge of jumping for joy, but now he felt as if he had been cast into the deepest pits of despair by
the doctor's simple sentence.
After leaving Hector with a final piece of advice, the doctor departed, leaving the sterile intensive care
unit in silence, save for the lifeless form of Natalia on the bed and the persistent Hector, who refused to
stop whispering words of assurance into her ear.
Hector was certain that Natalia would wake up. She had to.

Rome.
On the day of Natalia's accident...
Magnus was restless in his office, tossing things around in frustration. He was faced with architectural
blueprints, but there was no sign of the familiar face he was expecting. What use were these blueprints
to him?
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he had been stabbed with a knife. This sudden pain
broke him out in a cold sweat.
Magnus was usually in great health, so he was completely perplexed by his sudden ailment and filled
with worry.
They said that couples shared a deep connection. Could this sudden pain mean that something had
happened to his wife?
As soon as this thought popped into his head, he immediately denied it. Nothing could have happened
to her. She was so kind and good-hearted, it was impossible.
However, the rising panic in his heart told him that the missing Natalia might have been facing a grave
situation.
Magnus felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He was filled with regret that he couldn’t be by his wife’s
side to shield her from harm. She was so delicate and sensitive, how was he supposed to live through
this dull and long life if she were to get hurt?
The more he thought about it, the more irritable Magnus became. A surge of fury rose within him, and
he turned his wrath to the blueprints on his desk.
The blueprints, which had been maliciously altered to a deep red color and still bore tear stains,
reminded Magnus of his wife’s accusing gaze, and the pain in his heart was unbearable.
In these past few days, the blueprints that Diana had submitted were not only vastly different from
Magnus' original designs but were also simply unbearable to look at!
Ha, did Diana really think that no one would notice that these weren't from the same designer?
Magnus' anger only grew as he looked at them, and he kicked over his desk in a fit of rage, stomping
on it viciously.
James had been avoiding Magnus these past few days, not wanting to provoke his already dark mood.
He had been smoking outside when he heard a loud crash from Magnus' office. James quickly pushed
the door open and walked in. "What happened?"
What met his eyes was Magnus' blood-red gaze. At that moment, he resembled a messenger returning
from hell, exuding a terrifying aura. "Get William here. They think they can fool me!"
Soon, James had brought William over. The sight of the office in disarray made William's face turn pale.
He was afraid that their scheme to deceive Magnus and get rid of Natalia had been discovered.
But as the saying goes, what you fear the most is what happens.
William was so guilty that he couldn't even look Magnus in the eye. He kept looking down, barely
managing to ask, "Magnus, Mr. Andersen, what...what happened? Why are you so angry?"
"Hmph!" Magnus snorted coldly, causing William to shiver in fear.
Magnus bent down to pick up the blueprints from the floor and threw them at William. "William! Do you
take me for a fool? What is the meaning of these blueprints? You probably know better than anyone!
Who is the real designer behind these works? All this time, I've been kind to Diana, and even let her
climb up the corporate ladder, all for the truth. But until now, you and Diana have been hiding it! Now,
I'm giving you a chance. Who's the real designer behind these blueprints?" Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
William broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't admit it, so he stuttered, "The...the designs, umm, it's
Diana..."
Magnus' anger flared up even more, and he kicked William. "You think you can fool me with your
tricks? These designs are clearly not of the same style! You have the audacity to deceive me and trick
me into signing a contract. William, prepare to be bankrupt!"
William was trembling in fear. From the day he fired Natalia, he was prepared for Magnus' lawsuit, so
he didn't say anything, just hung his head.
Magnus had thought that William would beg for mercy. But when he didn't, Magnus knew William
hadn't hit his breaking point yet, so Magnus glanced at James, who was standing behind William.
James understood Magnus' meaning and immediately joined in, "Get Diana, the one who pretended to
be the real designer. Let her enjoy some free prison food! What a pity, such a pretty girl, if she goes to
jail, her life will be ruined."
Magnus took a step back, stunned by William's confession. "What did you say?" Magnus felt a rush of
blood to his head.
So it was true. His wife was the real designer. He had almost found her, but William had sent her away!
Magnus was still in shock when Diana arrived. She saw her brother kneeling before Magnus and
rushed over to help him up. "William! What are you doing on the ground? Get up!"
William just wouldn't get up, continuing to plead with Magnus, "Mr. Andersen, it was all my fault, I was
the one who drove Natalia away. If you need to vent your anger, do it on me. But please, spare my
sister. She's still young. She can't go to jail. I beg you, let her be!"
