"What happened?"
Jordan marched over to Deborah and Mandy, his face dark as a storm cloud, and demanded answers in a low, dangerous tone.
"I just stayed out a little late for work, and you two bullied my wife and beat her so badly she ended up in the hospital."
Jordan turned to the officers. "Officers, these two took advantage of me being out at a business dinner to bully my wife. They beat her so severely that she's in the emergency room right now."
Deborah immediately stood up to defend herself. "Jordan, you don't know the whole story. Stop making wild accusations."
"Your wife attacked us first. She's the one who hates the sight of us and constantly bullies us. We were just defending ourselves. She accidentally hit her stomach—it was just bad luck."
"Officers, this is a family dispute. I'm about to join the Lane family, and he is my future stepson. Jackson and I are getting married in a couple of days. He and his wife don't want me around. When their attempts to stop the wedding failed, they started bullying me whenever my fiancé wasn't home."
"The staff at home know all about it, and we have security cameras. I can show everyone the footage, and you'll see what really happened. We didn't start this; my future daughter-in-law did."
"Look at what she did to Mandy. She slept until the evening, came downstairs to find food, and without saying more than two words, slapped my sister across the face. Look, both sides of her face are red and swollen. The finger marks are clear as day."
"She punched and kicked Mandy. My sister isn't a punching bag; of course she fought back. The two of them got into a brawl, and I got hit while trying to break them up."
Deborah sounded deeply wronged. "We're going to be family, yet she was so vicious to me. I figured, as her elder, I should tolerate her behavior most of the time, but she just pushed her luck."
"We really can't be fully blamed for her being in the ER right now. We had no idea she might be pregnant, and she never said a word about 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...
