Wendy’s eyes widened in disbelief for a couple of seconds before she burst out, “Seriously? We just talked about this yesterday, and you’ve already handled it, Isadora? That’s incredible!”
Meanwhile, Rowena Blaine opened the folder and began flipping through the documents, page by page.
Sure enough, they were filled with evidence of Abbott Beaumont’s illegal dealings.
Isadora Vaughan said calmly, “Rowena, we can use this proof of tax evasion and fraud to trade for your photos. And honestly, men like him always get what’s coming to them in the end.”
Rowena’s expression stayed guarded. Instead of relief, suspicion flickered in her eyes.
“Isadora, where did you get all this?”
Wendy stifled a giggle, raising her hand. “I know! It had to be the Prince Charming who helped you.”
Rowena tilted her head. “Prince Charming?”
There was really only one person in the entire Fitzgerald Group that anyone would call that.
Could it be…?
Wendy nodded enthusiastically. “Yes! Mr. Fitzgerald from the Fitzgerald Group—the same guy who spoke up for Seafarer Designs at the meeting yesterday! Rowena, isn’t he amazing?”
A shadow passed over Rowena’s eyes.
She never imagined that Isadora could have formed that kind of connection.
Still, Rowena managed a faint smile. “Thank you, Isadora.”

Rowena found a pretext to arrange a meeting with Abbott.
He arrived at a private dining room in a restaurant, his assistant trailing behind.
The assistant pushed open the door, and Abbott swaggered in as if he owned the place.
Inside, three women waited at the table.

It takes too long to get to the point. Too much unnecessary in between in all of these books. Too many extra characters, the authors lose the plot after a while....
