He rushed over the moment he heard what was happening, clearly eager to settle scores and put her in her place, with interest.
“Dad, what’s going on here? And you—how dare you show your face? The Vaughan Group doesn’t welcome your kind anymore.”
Isadora stood off to the side, quietly making a phone call.
She hung up and turned to Prescott, her voice cold and steady. “I’m here to tell you and your precious Richard that you’re finished. Get out of The Vaughan Group. All of you.”
Prescott’s face twisted with rage. “Isadora, have you lost your mind? What kind of sick joke is this? You think you can just waltz in here and take over the Vaughan Group? Dream on!”
A knock sounded at the office door.
Director Smith, head of The Vaughan Group’s legal department, stepped inside.
Isadora had already had the paperwork notarized before coming.
Director Smith surveyed the chaos in the office, then addressed the room. “President Vaughan, Vice President Vaughan—Miss Vaughan is now the majority shareholder of The Vaughan Group. She has the authority to remove you from your positions.”
Prescott’s headache, barely eased, flared up with renewed fury. He shouted, “Majority shareholder? Impossible!”
Isadora met his stare, unflinching. “Prescott, I’m just returning the favor. You told me to leave the Vaughan family, remember? Now it’s your turn. Get out.”
Magda clung to Richard, feeling as if someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over her. She started to tremble.
She had endured humiliation for over twenty years, believing she was finally about to become the rightful lady of The Vaughan Group, that her son had finally been acknowledged. And now, in a single day, everything had changed.
The shock was too much—Magda fainted dead away.
Without her for support, Richard nearly collapsed as well.
Prescott hurried to their side. “Mom! Mom—!”
Isadora gave a cold, mocking laugh. “What a touching display.”
Security arrived moments later, ready to escort them out.

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....
