Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 116

Isadora let out a cold laugh, her eyes sharp as blades. "Save it, Magnus. We're done. I can land M Boutique for The Vaughan Group on my own."

On the other end, Magnus's voice softened, unusually gentle. "Isadora, I'm just trying to help. You don't have to be so harsh."

"Help me?" she scoffed.

"Magnus, you wired a million dollars to Elise just a minute ago, and now you want to help me? Spare me your kind of 'help' is the last thing I need."

Magnus's brow furrowed.

How did she know he'd sent Elise that money?

But the way Isadora snapped at him, refusing any help, made him wonder-was she upset because of Elise? Did she actually care about what he did?

"Isadora, are you jealous?"

"Jealous?" Isadora sounded like she'd just heard the world's most ridiculous joke.

"Why would I be jealous of you? I just think your two-faced, have-your-cake-and- eat-it ways are pathetic. I never realized you were this kind of person. No- actually, I was just blind before!"

With that, she hung up on him.

She didn't want to waste another word.
