Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 125

Penelope Dawson sat in the executive chair of the CEO's office.

Jack lingered nearby, glancing at her with uneasy hesitation.

Everyone knew that The Harrison Group owed its very existence to the Dawson family's money and connections-Penelope's influence was the real backbone behind their success.

Over the years, Penelope had built a reputation for ruthless determination and an iron grip on power.

"Honey, business is unpredictable. This time, M Boutique just didn't see our value -so what? There's always next—”

Penelope cut him off with a steely glare. "You're already thinking about next time?"

She shrugged off his hand and rose to her feet, fixing Jack with a cold, piercing stare.
