Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 149

"But pushing Pearl in front of everyone-wouldn't that be too obvious? It just feels...off."

"What's so off about it? Isadora grew up dirt poor. You don't know people like that their hearts are as vicious as they come!"

The whispered accusations circled around her, every word a dagger.

Isadora shivered, cold to the bone.

Perfect.

Pearl had done it-she'd ruined her completely.

But Isadora refused to fall. She wouldn't let them watch her break.

Even if not a single soul believed her, she would never let them see her defeated.

Her nails dug into her palm as she gritted her teeth, forcing each word out: "I didn't push her. Pearl fell on her own. Prescott, you bastard, stop making things up."

Pearl, hearing this, only clung tighter to Eleanor, sobbing uncontrollably.

"I might be reckless, but I'd never hurt myself... Isadora, you're not just cruel enough to push me, now you want to blame me for it? My brother saw everything -no one's going to believe you!"

Eleanor closed her eyes, her voice rough with emotion.
