Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 124

Isadora curled her lips into a smirk and let out a short, mocking laugh. "Prescott, the world of adults doesn't revolve around you. So what if you don't agree?"

Prescott's face turned red with anger at her words, the veins in his neck bulging.

"Isadora! You wild little upstart. Do you really think you're some precious daughter of the Vaughan family? Pearl is the only real daughter here. Mom and Dad only took you in out of pity. I never thought you'd be so ambitious-you want shares, and now you're after a director's position too!"

Once, words like these would have cut Isadora to the core. Now, they just seemed laughable.

Prescott really hadn't changed at all-he'd always treated her like an enemy.

When she'd first joined the Vaughan family and learned she had a biological brother, she was overjoyed. In all those TV shows, big brothers were supposed to protect their little sisters.

And Prescott did protect someone he just always protected Pearl.

To him, Isadora was nothing more than an intruder, and his hostility toward her was relentless.

She still remembered one particular argument she'd had with Pearl. The item in question was clearly Isadora's, but when Pearl wanted it and Isadora refused, Pearl immediately burst into tears. Prescott came running over, shielding Pearl with a glare that looked like he wanted to kill Isadora. Then he used his size and strength to shove Isadora hard to the ground.
