After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1067

Natalie had confessed almost everything, but she deliberately omitted York's name.

She was terrified that if she told them, her family would go after York, and that monster would retaliate against her and destroy the entire Gates family.

She only mentioned that it was a ruthless underground boss.

Francis shook his head. "Don't go to Isabella. Natalie knows exactly who sent those photos. Isabella probably didn't even keep copies; she handed them straight to Jordan."

"Whoever mailed them wanted to ignite a war between them. They weren't trying to help Natalie. Why did she even go to someone like that?"

Not only did she get played, but she also handed them the ultimate blackmail material.

Francis realized Natalie was an absolute fool.

He used to think her relentless attacks on Cynthia and Isabella were just a misguided attempt to protect Jordan's inheritance.

But even after they severed ties with the Lane family, Natalie kept going after Isabella.

It was all because of Ethan.

But Ethan had only tricked Isabella into marriage for Natalie's sake. So what was she so bitter about?

Francis couldn't fathom her obsession.

"She's jealous of the way Ethan treated Isabella," Adelina explained. "When they divorced, he gave Isabella millions. Natalie feels that everything Ethan has should belong exclusively to her."

"I honestly suspect she wanted Ethan's entire fortune."

Francis was speechless.

Jordan looked equally exhausted. He had just asked his secretary for a coffee.

As Francis walked in, the secretary walked out. Francis recognized Malvina immediately—she was the mistress who had slept with Jordan.

When the two families had previously negotiated, Jordan promised to fire her and cut all ties.

Yet here she was, and the two had just been alone in his office. Who knew what they were doing behind closed doors?

Before, Francis might have had the moral high ground because, despite Natalie throwing herself at Ethan, nothing actually happened. But now, he had absolutely no leverage.

Jordan had cheated with his secretary, but his daughter had been with multiple men. Even if it was non-consensual, no ordinary man could easily accept such a horrific scandal.

If Natalie had simply been a victim of a random kidnapping, the Gates family could have stood firm. But she had willingly sought out criminal thugs for a hit job and got herself played.
