Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus) novel Chapter 342

Rowena scrolled through her phone until she found an old photo of Isadora, then handed it over.

Preston squinted, a flicker of greed flashing in his eyes. “She’s actually prettier than you.”

A glint of malice danced in Rowena’s gaze—she knew she had him now. “I can get her for you, if you want. All yours.”

After leaving Verdant Pavilion, Victor drove straight to the Vaughan family’s estate.

A bright yellow Lamborghini idled a short distance from the grand front gates.

Victor lounged lazily in the driver’s seat, eyeing the illuminated house. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

The line was busy.

No answer.

Victor fired off a text.

A red exclamation mark appeared immediately.

“Message sent, but the recipient has blocked you.”

Victor let out a short, incredulous laugh.

So, Isadora really had gone and blocked him.

He tapped the steering wheel with his long, elegant fingers, then called Kemp instead.

Kemp answered promptly, voice deferential. “Mr. Fitzgerald, what can I do for you?”

“Call Isadora for me.”

“Sorry?”

“Do you need me to repeat myself?”

Kemp caught on—his boss had been blocked.

“Understood, sir. I’ll take care of it.”

A moment later, Kemp dialed Isadora as instructed.

Isadora, lying in bed, frowned at the unfamiliar number. She’d forgotten to block this one, too.

After a moment’s hesitation—worried the call might wake Eleanor—she picked up.

“Miss Vaughan, Mr. Fitzgerald is outside your house. He says if you don’t come out, he’ll just let himself in.”
