Isadora closed the door behind her and strode into the room.
Richard patted the woman’s shoulder. “Magda, would you give us a moment?”
Magda stood up as soon as he spoke.
Isadora shot her a sidelong glance. “So this is your new flame? The woman you’re willing to divorce my mother for? You’re really that ruthless—transferring all of Mom’s assets just for her?”
Richard hadn’t expected Isadora to be so blunt. His face darkened. “Isadora, this is between your mother and me. Stay out of it.”
“I didn’t come here to meddle,” Isadora replied, her tone icy. “I just wanted to see for myself what a pair of hypocrites you two really are.”
“I’m still your father. You ought to show her some respect—know your place.”
Isadora actually laughed at that.
“You’re not my father anymore.”
Not long ago, Richard had tried—again and again—to persuade Isadora to introduce him to the Fitzgerald family. She ignored him every time, even going out of her way to defy his authority.
Left with no choice, Richard eventually approached the Fitzgerald matriarch himself, only to find that the family didn’t even acknowledge Isadora as Victor’s girlfriend.
So much for that.
Now, his daughter wasn’t just disobedient—she was useless to him.
That was when Richard’s attitude changed.
“Isadora, I still consider you my daughter. If you behave, I’ll make sure you marry into a respectable family. You can still be the Vaughan heiress.”
Isadora gave a cold, mocking smile. “The Vaughan heiress? I couldn’t care less.”
She paused, then added, “But are you sure you’re still the chairman of The Vaughan Group?”
“I have the authority—as the group’s majority shareholder—to remove you from your position.”
With that, she tossed a stack of documents onto the table.
Richard’s expression went rigid.

The readers' comments on the novel: Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)
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....
