BookToReadChapter 74 Isadora couldn't help but find it both hilarious and absurd.
"Mrs. Wainwright, forgive me, but if my memory serves, didn't Magnus's father, Easton Wainwright, have an affair with a famous actress back in the day? And wasn't it you who unleashed a swarm of tabloids, painting her as a homewrecker and ruining her reputation in show business?" "I seem to recall that actress was pregnant at the time, too. You even hired people to make sure she lost the baby. For someone who's the matriarch of the Wainwright family, you hardly played the helpless victim." Isadora's voice was soft as velvet, but her words landed like grenades.
It was as if she'd ripped the bandage off Faustina's ugliest secret for all to see.
Faustina shook with anger, her whole body trembling.
"Isadora, you-you spiteful little bitch! How dare you spread such lies! I swear, I'll make sure my son never wants anything to do with you. You'll regret this, just you wait!" Isadora just smiled. "Perfect. Because honestly, being the Wainwright family's daughter-in-law sounds exhausting, and I don't think I'm up to the challenge." With that, she turned to leave.

Faustina certainly had a flair for flashy, youthful styles. Dressed in expensive clothes, she was clearly trying to hold onto her youth. But no amount of money could turn back the clock.
"One more thing, Mrs. Wainwright," Isadora added, her tone innocent. "Pastel pink is adorable, but at your age, maybe it's tto retire those shoes." She left behind a cluster of society wives, still frozen in shock.
Faustina was so furious, it looked like steam might shoot from her ears.
"Was that Isadora just now? What's gotten into her? Has she lost her mind, talking to you like that?" one of the women gasped.
Faustina's eyes blazed with fury. "Lost her mind? I'll make her wish she'd never crossed me. Magnus is going to dump her, mark my words! And don't any of you dare call her my daughter-in-law again, or we'll have a problem." Sammy's mother blinked, lowering her voice. "Faustina, that actress Isadora mentioned-did you really do all those things back then?" Faustina nearly exploded. "Of course not! She's making it all up!" Wainwright Holdings.
"Move aside!" "Mrs. Wainwright, Mr. Wainwright is in a meeting right now. Maybe you'd like to wait in his office?" Lean called after her, trying to keep up.
"I need an appointment to see my own son?" Moments later, the conference room door swung open.
Faustina strode in, purse in hand, her expression thunderous.
Magnus looked up, eyes cool.
He addressed the boardroom calmly: "That's all for today. We'll pick this up later." Instantly, the senior executives gathered their things and hurried out.
Lean quietly closed the door, leaving mother and son alone.

Faustina marched forward and set her bag down on the table.
"What's going on between you and that woman, Isadora?" Magnus's jaw tightened.
"I ran into her at the mall today. She was completely out of line exactly like I warned you she would be. Even her own parents barely tolerate her, so why should you? Thank goodness you're only engaged and not married yet. Let's just forget her and move on-I'll introduce you to a real heiress, someone who'll actually help the family."
"And as for Elise, stay away from her too. She's always playing the victim-left you, ran off to salstrand, got in that accident and now blames you for everything. I swear, these women get more manipulative by the day." Magnus's patience wore thin.
"Mom, my relationships are none of your business."
"None of my business? You're the only heir to the Wainwright family. Who you marry affects the future of Wainwright Holdings. I never liked Isadora, but you insisted she was persistent, so I gave her a chance. Now she's shown her true colors.
Break up with her. Today." Magnus's reply was cold and final: "I'm not breaking up with her."
