Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 92

Magnus shot Isadora a cold glance, his brow furrowing.

"Gideon, once you're done here, get out. Don't make a mess."

"Don't be an idiot, Magnus. Last time Isadora tried to make Elise jump in the river; this time she shows up at her door and throws boiling water at her. The woman's poison, and she's out for Elise's life! If you won't teach her a lesson, I will!"

"Gideon, I'll handle this. Leave. Now."

Magnus forcefully shook off Gideon's hand.

Gideon stumbled back a few steps.

Isadora watched the whole scene, unimpressed.

She hadn't done a thing, but Dr. Gideon looked ready to hit her.

She wasn't sure if Magnus was actually trying to protect her, or just saving face for himself.

Isadora pulled out her phone, switched on the camera, and started recording.

"Gideon, if you so much as touch me, this video goes straight to your hospital. I'll report you. Let's see how long your medical license lasts."

Gideon glared at her, eyes bloodshot with rage.
