After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1116
To claw her way to the top, Deborah relied on pure shamelessness. She didn't care what people said about her; words couldn't draw blood.
Jordan glared at her fiercely.
Deborah glared right back, refusing to back down.
Mandy, who had been terrified out of her wits moments ago, saw her sister's righteous indignation. Remembering that Natalie had started the fight and dealt her some heavy blows as well, Mandy's fear ebbed. Her hands and feet finally stopped trembling.
Soon after, Jackson arrived, followed by Natalie's parents and her brother, Grant Gates.
The moment Grant spotted Deborah, he lunged forward, raising a hand to slap her, but the police intercepted him.
Jackson instinctively shielded his wife. His expression darkened. "Grant, you're throwing punches before we even know what happened. Natalie's arrogance is entirely the result of your family spoiling her."
"Right or wrong, you coddle her and excuse her behavior. That's exactly why she keeps making these catastrophic mistakes and acting so outrageously out of line. She's turning the Lane family upside down."
"Jackson," Grant snapped, "your wife put my sister in the hospital, and you're telling me I'm in the wrong? What exactly did Natalie do? How is she being unreasonable?"
"It takes two to tango. If your wife hadn't pulled some dirty trick, Natalie never would have laid a hand on her."
Deborah tugged at Jackson's shirt, looking the picture of misery. "Jackson, please, let's not fight with them. Let's wait for the doctor. What happened tonight... it was Mandy's and my fault too."
"If Natalie wanted to hit us, we should have just let her. We shouldn't have said a word. She clearly hates the sight of us, and she started swinging before we even spoke. That's on us. We should have spoken up."
"Natalie beat my sister up so badly, her hands must be sore. When she comes home from the hospital, we'll have to make her a nice pot of bone broth to nurse her hands. That way, she'll have more energy to beat me next time."

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...
