Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 148

Isadora stared in shock as Pearl plummeted straight down from the second-floor window. She hadn't even processed what was happening.

A furious shout echoed through the villa: "Pearl!"

In a flash, Prescott sprinted across the room like a man possessed.

He lunged, stretching his arm out desperately to catch Pearl as she fell but his fingers closed around nothing but thin air.

Prescott's face twisted with rage, his eyes wild and murderous as he glared at Isadora. If looks could kill, she would have been torn apart on the spot.

Seething, he roared, "Isadora, I saw everything! You pushed Pearl out the window! You tried to kill her, you wicked woman!"

A loud, resounding slap cut through the chaos.

Prescott, fueled by brute strength, stepped forward and struck Isadora hard across the face.

The blow sent Isadora stumbling, her body crashing heavily to the floor.

A fiery pain exploded across her cheek, spreading in an instant.
