Chapter 137

Suddenly, Isadora remembered that man's wild, arrogant declaration from the other night: "How about I give you The Vaughan Group?"

She'd never seriously considered accepting, of course.

A smile tugged at her lips as she typed back, "Not really."

Almost instantly, Victor sent a photo.

"What's this supposed to mean?" she replied.
