Mandy tilted her head to look at her sister. Her stunning eyes sparkled as she asked with a half-smile, "Deborah, would you actually let me be with Jordan?"
Putting aside the fact that Jordan felt nothing for her, even if he did, it would be incredibly difficult for them to be together.
Because her cousin would never allow it.
If she and Jordan became husband and wife, they would be a united front, and she would undoubtedly help him fight for the inheritance.
Deborah had her own biological son and was now the official Mrs. Lane. Given her personality, there was no way she would tolerate Mandy helping Jordan seize the family fortune.
Therefore, her cousin was merely using her to destroy Jordan and Natalie's marriage. She didn't genuinely support Mandy getting together with Jordan.
At first, Mandy had fantasized about marrying Jordan and living the luxurious life of a wealthy wife, just like her cousin.
But Jordan wouldn't even look her in the eye. Even when she actively tried to seduce him, he remained entirely indifferent. Her presence in the Lane estate was just a thorn in Natalie's side, a way to stress her out and help her cousin gain the upper hand.
Now, Mandy had stopped dreaming about Jordan. She knew he would never want her, let alone marry her.
Deborah froze for a second before laughing. "You wouldn't be able to control him. In all honesty, I don't approve of you two being together."
"Exactly. That's why I've stopped dreaming about him."
Mandy continued, "Deborah, I've been helping you out so much and looking out for you and Kevin. You can't forget about me. If you know any good prospects, you have to set me up."
When she had first arrived, she had been a bit timid. But after tagging along with her cousin and experiencing high society, Mandy was no longer easily intimidated. She had grown incredibly confident. She was younger and prettier than her cousin, and with Jackson and Deborah pulling strings, she was certain she could snag a rich husband.
She didn't expect to marry into a multi-billion dollar empire like The Lane Family, but a family worth a few hundred million would be more than enough to satisfy her.
She wouldn't have to work. She could just stay home as a pampered wife, raise the kids, and watch her monthly allowance hit her bank account right on schedule. Even if her husband was always busy with business and rarely came home, she wouldn't care.
Love didn't put food on the table. You had to be realistic.
Mandy was very pragmatic. As long as she married into money and had children to secure her position, her husband could have all the mistresses he wanted. She wouldn't interfere because she only cared about the money.

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
I will be devastated if Isabella and Ethan will get back together. Please, writer, Isabella deserves Harold....
Author, please get your characters names right. You always messing them up!...
I wish Harold will win Isabella's heart. I was so sad when Isabela was taken for granted coldly and cruelly by her supposed to be husband, and trapped,mocked and humiliated non stop by Natalie. This was so cruel, both don't deserve Isabela' forgiveness I wish for a happy ending between Isabela and Harold, he has the right to be happy after the long wait....
Frankly, the story initially was going quite good and the pacing was just right. unfortunately after Ethan got the dream of his past life, the story has been going in circles. Ethan's spouting the same nonsense every time he sees Isabella, they both have same conversations over and over. The authors monologue too has been the same for almost 400 chapters. Irrespective of which character the writing the just a repetition of what someone had gone through in the past and what made a certain character feel the emotions. York got introduced in 800 chapters yet nothing significant happened till date. Isabella is soft with Harold and kind of disgusted with Ethan, yet it is not entirely clear with whom she might end up. If she stays single i am fine with it but the story is clearly about Isabella and Ethan so almost 1000 chapters without seeing any progress in their relationship is frustrating. Except for being blindly in love and few aggressive instances with Isabella, Ethan actually isnt a bad person so i am fine if he can win her back. Even though Harold is coming off as a good second lead, i am somehow unable to warm upto him. Even the bad people in the story are not really facing any real consequences. I hate Jackson for his hypocrisy. I hate Jordan and Natalie for their self-righteouness and selfishness. I also hate Deborah, except when she is handing it out to Natalie. I am almost on the verge of dropping this story....
Why are they acting like kids 🤣😭...
Ethan is actually not that bad if we take out his blind love for Natalie...
