Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus) novel Chapter 76

The investment sum was enormous, so The Fitzgerald Group transferred the funds to The Vaughan Group in two installments.

The Fitzgerald Group didn’t waste any time.

It was as if they were handing over billions with the same ease as tossing a few bucks—no hesitation at all.

But then, that made sense. The Fitzgerald Group was the wealthiest conglomerate in the country, with more money than anyone could count.

Just last year, Forbes had released its annual rankings.

Victor’s net worth had somehow multiplied several times over, even outpacing Magnus.

Isadora was well aware of her own limits—if she could mess things up this badly with Magnus, she had no business tangling with someone like Victor.

Now, though, Isadora had a clear goal.

She was going to become the heir to The Vaughan Group.

She’d never been so ambitious before. Something had changed in her these past few weeks—something had been awakened.

If someone was going to take over, better it be her than Pearl.

Owning a 30% stake was just the beginning.

She pulled out her phone.

Right at the top of her messages was “Pudding’s Dad.”

The thread was still stuck on yesterday’s conversation.

Isadora hesitated, then started typing: “Received the $800 million investment today. Thank you. About this morning—I didn’t mean to…”

Suddenly, her assistant Janet knocked on the door.

“Ms. Vaughan, President Vaughan would like to see you in his office.”

“Alright,” Isadora replied.

She stood, glanced down at her phone, and deleted everything she’d just written.

In the end, she just sent, “Thank you.”

She took the elevator up to the 27th floor and stopped outside Richard’s office, rapping lightly on the door.

A deep male voice called out, “Come in.”

Isadora opened the door and strode in, her heels clicking against the floor.

He’d even promised to give The Vaughan Group an entire global logistics company as a marriage gift.

Richard had always dreamed of expanding into logistics, but he’d never had the resources.

The moment Magnus made his offer, Richard was ready to have the wedding tomorrow.

Magnus adjusted his cufflinks and stood, unruffled by Isadora’s words.

Ever since that “kidnapping incident,” Isadora’s attitude had cooled. He wasn’t surprised.

But once she tried on a designer wedding gown and wore that one-of-a-kind ‘True Heart’ jewel—once she realized the wedding would be the most spectacular event of the year and she’d be the most celebrated bride in all of Capitolion—her anger would fade.

Besides, Elise’s surgery was coming up next week. Once she recovered, he’d have more time for Isadora, and she wouldn’t have to feel so jealous and neglected.

Magnus spoke up, “Isadora’s been upset with me lately, and that’s on me. The wedding dress fitting was meant to be a surprise—I should’ve told her sooner.”

Richard’s frown disappeared as soon as Magnus showed no sign of irritation. “Alright, you two lovebirds go enjoy your fitting.”

Isadora looked anything but enthusiastic.

Richard pressed his lips together, picked up a folder from his desk, and said quietly, “Isadora, the paperwork to transfer you 30% of The Vaughan Group’s shares is ready, but I’m not signing it yet. Not until you marry into Wainwright Holdings. That’ll be your wedding dowry.”
