Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 286

She laid out her case clearly and methodically:

"First, she's not my biological mother. In fact, she deliberately swapped me at birth -she's the one responsible for it all."

"Second, when she attacked me, she accused me of stealing Pearl's place. I have every reason to suspect Pearl is her accomplice."

"And let's not forget-she stabbed Magnus Wainwright, the CEO of Wainwright Holdings."

The detective's brow furrowed as he listened, and for the first time, he began to take the case seriously.

"Alright, Miss Vaughan. Thank you for your cooperation today."

Once out of the police station, Isadora buried herself in work-day and night, barely stopping to breathe.

But the real problem wasn't just her own relentless pace. The entire Vaughan Group was swept up in her frenzy, everyone working late, drowning in endless meetings. The office was filled with quiet complaints and mounting exhaustion.

No one could figure out what had gotten into Isadora. She'd already made it through the transition period as the new head of the company, but suddenly it felt like Vaughan Group was back in the trenches, fighting for survival like in the early

days.

One afternoon, in the middle of yet another drawn-out meeting, Isadora's phone buzzed with a message from Genevieve.
