EuropeNovelChapter 43 After speaking, Isadora turned and ran off, tears streaming down her face.
She had to leave; if she stayed another moment, she'd break down right in front of them.
Isadora still remembered how her wrist was supposed to heal in a week, but after that collision, it was fractured and took two full months to mend.
In the end, it was Richard who took her to apologize to Magnus.
Back then, her love for Magnus was so all-consuming that she had no self-respect left-she'd humbled herself to the point of utter submission.
Even though Magnus's distrust and accusations had left her heartbroken, what she feared most was that Magnus would get angry and abandon her.
So, when Richard offered to take her to Magnus to smooth things over, to give them both a way out, Isadora agreed without hesitation. Naively, she followed Richard, trailing behind him like a lost child.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRichard did most of the talking, apologizing on her behalf, painting her as the immature one, and asking Magnus to forgive her little outburst.
Magnus shot a glance at Isadora, who stood silently by the side.
His face betrayed nothing. "Chere," he said.
At those words, Isadora's eyes filled with tears again as she slowly walked over. Magnus pulled her into his arms, his hand tight around her slender waist.
"From now on, behave yourself. No more tantrums. I don't like women who get spoiled and arrogant, Isadora. I only feel responsible for Elise-it's not what you think. Stop getting jealous and picking on her for no reason." Thinking back on all of this, Isadora felt like her past self must have been hit by a truck.
How could she have let love blind her so completely, convinced that Magnus was her cure that she'd die if she ever left him? Yet here she was, still alive, still standing in this world.
Isadora forced herself to shake off the memories.
Right now, her top priority was to find Victor and discuss the investment project.
She thought for a moment, then decided to call Nanette, a superstar whose connections spanned the entire entertainment industry.
Nanette had been her closest friend for years.
Their friendship was probably born from shared misfortune; both had difficult childhoods and broken families. Nanette grew up in a hwhere boys were favored over girls. Her mother would often beat and berate her. But it wasn't just shouting and slaps her mother once dragged Nanette out onto the street, stripped her down, and beat her in front of a crowd.
She even tried to marry Nanette off to a seventy-year-old man just to get a dowry for Nanette's brother's wedding.
Nanette refused, ran away, and never looked back.
By chance, she was discovered by a talent scout and found her way into show business.
She'd even tried to bring Isadora along, convinced that with her looks, Isadora could make it big too.
Isadora remembered how Nanette, jaw clenched, once told her, "As soon as I becfamous, I'll have money.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNo one will ever look down onagain. Isadora, we're going to be the masters of our own lives. I swear, the day I have power and money, if anyone dares lay a finger on me, I'll be the first to hit back." But at that time, Isadora had just reconnected with the Vaughan family-there was no way they'd let her beca public figure.
Yet, in just three years, Nanette had risen from bit parts to starring roles.
Maybe that's just how it is for people who've had to claw their way up from nothing. If you're given a chance and can keep your wits about you, you'll eventually becthe hero of your own story. But Isadora hadn't.
Instead, she was often the butt of Nanette's jokes.
As Nanette once put it, "Isadora, you're nothing like me. You believe in love and fou still m * Me? I gave up on all that a long tago. That's ub-on why I'm ruthless- and you're not." When she called, Nanette's assistant answered first, asking Isadora to hold on for a moment.
A few minutes later, a lively, flirtatious voice con the line.
"I just wrapped shooting, Isa! Dinner tonight? I haven't seen you in ages-I've missed you!"
Isadora couldn't help but laugh. Nanette was strikingly beautifulm notorious for playing the villainess before she rose to stardom. "Let's wait until I'm less busy, Nanette. If I go out with you now, I'd have to cover my face just to avoid the crowds." "Please," Nanette scoffed, "that just means I'm wildly popular."
