Mandy took the slap, clutching her stinging cheek. She turned to her sister, playing the victim. "Deborah, she hit me! And I don't even live in her house, I live in my sister and brother-in-law's house."
"Natalie, you aren't the lady of this house. Don't forget, my sister is the woman in charge now. You're just a guest here."
"If you can't stand looking at me, then move out. Go live in one of your own properties."
Mandy knew Natalie's wedding gift was incredibly lavish. Natalie owned several luxury apartments, villas, and commercial properties that generated rental income, not to mention countless high-end designer goods.
She was sick with jealousy.
Poverty had truly limited her imagination.
"Why should I move out? I married into this family. I'm a Lane daughter-in-law, which makes this my home. You're just an outsider who has overstayed her welcome, trying to drive a wedge between my husband and me. I've been sick of looking at you for a long time."
"Deborah, you'd better tell her to pack her bags. Don't make me kick her out myself. This isn't a hotel, and we don't just let any stray off the street crash here. Also, when your poor relatives show up, they are absolutely forbidden from staying here!"
Deborah waited until Natalie finished her tirade before saying, "Natalie, you've gone too far. You have to look at the owner before you beat the dog. Mandy is my sister. I invited her to stay, and my husband agreed."
"You slapped my sister right in front of me. If I wasn't home, you'd probably bully her to death. When my in-laws arrive for the wedding, I'll be sure to ask them exactly how they raised their daughter."
Deborah had no intention of getting physical with Natalie right now. She was about to be a bride. What if Natalie scratched her face?
Natalie's aggressive behavior tonight was clearly an attempt to provoke her into a brawl, just like they usually did.
She wasn't falling for it.

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...
