Chapter 222
Callum was anxious to understand Magnus' current situation, and his patience was running thin with
Magnus' constant meddling with his girl.
In no time, his loyal men gathered the necessary information. "Boss, Magnus now owns a company
called Orange Horizon. Ms. Clarkson, Natalia, is currently working there. He bought it for fifty billion."
Callum waved his hand to dismiss his men, scoffing internally. He knew Magnus would go to great
lengths to get close to Natalia.
Magnus, do you still think you're the king of Melfort? If you think you can lead me by the nose again,
then all my years have been wasted!
Anger surged within Callum, and he wanted nothing more than to give Magnus a good beating. But as
he reached the door, he stopped.
Natalia might seem delicate on the outside, but she was fiercely stubborn on the inside. What she
hated most was deceit. If she found out about Magnus' calculated deception, then she would be so
mad and disappointed.
“Magnus, don't think you're so clever. You might just end up shooting yourself in the foot!” A playful
smile curved on Callum's lips. “Magnus, brace yourself for the wrath of Natalia!”
"Boss, Count Rowell plans to announce in the headlines tomorrow that Ms. Clarkson is his daughter-in-
law." The man Callum had just dismissed came back with the news.
"Alright." Callum nodded dismissively. "Well, that's the truth. Suppose he wants to acknowledge it
publicly, even better. You all just stand by for now."
"Understood!" His men left to carry out his orders.
Callum had found Magnus' weak spot and was in high spirits. He strode out of the castle, heading
towards Natalia's apartment.
Magnus was so shameless that Callum had to stay on guard. Who knew what kind of tricks Magnus
would pull next?

The morning sun streamed through the light pink curtains, warming Natalia's face. She stretched lazily
and got up from bed. As she pulled the curtains apart, she was surprised to see a motorhome parked
outside her window.
It was a sleek, new Lincoln motorhome basking in the morning sunlight. It looked luxurious yet
reserved.
Whose vehicle was this? Why was it parked outside her window? Natalia was slightly puzzled. She
quickly freshened up and headed towards the motorhome.
As she approached, she bent slightly, trying to peer inside to see if there was anyone in it. However,
the vehicle was designed for privacy, and all that was reflected on the thick windows was Natalia's
confused face.
Just as Natalia was debating whether to knock on the window, the motorhome door slowly opened. A
pair of long, straight legs stretched out, ending in shiny polished shoes.
"Cal, is that you?" Natalia was surprised to see Callum. Why was he sleeping in a vehicle instead of his
castle?"
Callum looked tired, and his eyes were bloodshot. "Natalia, I can't bear to let you stay here alone. I'm
worried Magnus might pull another stunt. I just picked a vehicle from the garage last night and slept
outside your window. It's the only way I could rest easy."
Natalia was speechless. She couldn't imagine the always elegant Callum, choosing to sleep in a
vehicle outside her window instead of his castle.
"Cal, I'm fine living by myself. You don't have to stay outside. It's too much trouble," Natalia said softly,
trying to dissuade Callum from his plan.
Callum's heart warmed at Natalia's sweet smile. Where was the fatigue from a night in a car?
"Natalia, you have no idea how cunning Magnus can be. He actually bought an entire company just to
get close to you. I have to stay on guard against someone like that." Callum decided to reveal
everything he knew to Natalia. She shouldn't be under the impression that Magnus was some kind of
hero.
"What?" Natalia was shocked. "You're saying he bought Orange Horizon, where I'm currently working?"
Callum nodded. "Yes, my men have confirmed it. He bought the company for fifty billion."
Upon hearing Callum's words, Natalia found it unbelievable. Magnus' arrogant and domineering nature Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
hadn't changed at all. “He must be insane! He actually spent fifty billion to buy Orange Horizon!” She
thought.
No wonder he showed up in the company elevator yesterday. He had already bought the entire
company. No wonder no one answered when she screamed as he dragged her into the elevator. It was
all part of his premeditated plan.
Natalia closed her eyes in frustration. Her whole body was shaking with anger. She'd thought she was
hired on merit, but it turned out to be part of Magnus' chess game.
She was being played!
It was too much! Absolutely too much!
Fury surged from the tips of Natalia's toes, shooting straight to the top of her head. “Magnus, how could
you do this!”
No, she had to confront this arrogant and conceited man. It was too much!
"Cal, don't worry. Magnus won't bother me anymore! He played me for a fool, so I'm going to quit my
job right now." Natalia was consumed with anger, wanting to burn everything in sight. As soon as she
finished speaking, she walked away in her high heels, determined to clear this matter up.
"Natalia, it's a long walk. I'll drive you." Callum got back into the vehicle and started the engine,
following her. There was a smug look in his eyes.
“Magnus, you thought you were smart. Now you've met your match!”
Natalia stopped and, without hesitation, got into Callum's vehicle. He drove her towards Orange
Horizon.
It was peak hour, and the roads were bustling with the hustle and bustle of cars. Callum, with Natalia in
tow, swiftly reached the entrance of the Orange Horizon building. With the car parked securely, Natalia
stepped out and waved at Callum, saying, "Cal, just hang tight here for a bit. I'll be right back."
"Alright." Callum watched Natalia go, leaning back in his seat with arms folded. His eyes were sparkling
with curiosity. “Magnus, you just wait!”
Natalia entered the towering building of Orange Horizon, taking the elevator straight to the penthouse.
Having worked here for a few days, she knew that the penthouse housed the CEO's office, a place off
limits without explicit permission.
Now, she was in a hurry to validate something, to see if the person sitting inside was indeed Magnus.
