Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 350

Preston wasn't afraid of Terrell—not in the slightest.

Their families' companies operated in completely different industries, so there was no real overlap. Besides, everyone knew the Fawcett family had a long, prestigious history; their reputation was everything. Preston was certain Terrell wouldn't dare cross any lines.

At that moment, Isadora slowly opened her bleary eyes, her head spinning. She shielded her face from the harsh glare of the ceiling light.

Terrell hurried over to her side. "Isadora, are you okay?"

Preston saw that the woman on the bed was awake. Well, there went his fun.

With a loud crash, Preston kicked a chair across the room, sending it skidding.

"Terrell, you just ruined my night. You'll pay for this," he spat, pulling his clothes from the floor and hastily throwing them on.

His gaze dark and unreadable, Preston gave Isadora a final look. "We'll meet again, sweetheart."

Isadora met Preston's fierce stare and only then realized just how close she'd come to real danger. Her heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly checked her clothes, making sure everything was still in place.

Terrell did his best to reassure her. "You're safe now, Isadora. Nothing happened, I promise."

Still shaken, Isadora managed a weak, "It was you who saved me, right? Thank you, Mr. Fawcett."
