Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 159

Nanette still had another event to rush off to.

After their conversation, Isadora decided to catch a daytime movie by herself.

She'd set her phone to silent.

When she walked out of the theater, her phone was flooded with missed calls and texts from Richard and Eleanor.

Richard: "Isadora, you're not feeling well today? Why didn't you come to work?"

Eleanor: "Isadora, come back home and stay with us. I'll make you something delicious."

Eleanor: "I was blind before. Please, give me another chance to take care of you."

Isadora glanced at the screen, but didn't reply. She let the phone go dark and slipped it into her bag.

She wandered aimlessly through the mall.

If in the past she'd felt any lingering attachment, resentment, or confusion about the Vaughan family, her heart was now growing cold.

But as for whether she'd return to work at The Vaughan Group, she was still conflicted.

Her original reason for joining The Vaughan Group had been simple: she wanted to be closer to Richard and Eleanor, to be the good daughter they wanted.

But the truth was, Isadora had never enjoyed running a department store.
