Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 429

Several well-dressed men arrived with their partners in tow, eager to introduce themselves.

"Mr. Fitzgerald, nice to meet you. I'm Mr. Lennox from Zenith Technologies."

"Mr. Fitzgerald, I'm Neil from Futurix Tech. And this must be your fiancée. You're truly a lucky man."

As the wealthiest family in Capitolion, the Fitzgeralds were the center of attention tonight.

Everyone wanted a chance to make themselves known or perhaps establish a connection. After all, the Fitzgerald Group's investment division was legendary-if they invested even a modest sum, it could breathe new life into any struggling project.

Victor stood tall and striking, his handsome face carrying an air of cool detachment. Surrounded by eager faces, he didn't even bother to force a smile, simply nodding in polite acknowledgment.

Before she could answer, a woman in a violet evening gown appeared with a cup of warm water for Isadora. "The party's just starting. It's a good idea to have something warm to drink," she said kindly.
