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.
