Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 441

Who could've guessed? The government's top brass handed the North District project straight to The Fitzgerald Group-no surprises there.

But even crumbs from this feast were nothing to scoff at! If the North District development succeeded, the profits would be enough to cover Legacy's annual earnings for the next three years.
