After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1124
Bad news always traveled faster than the speed of light.
The new Mrs. Lane had gotten into a brawl with her step-daughter-in-law.
The daughter-in-law had been beaten so badly she ended up in the hospital, only to discover she had been pregnant—and miscarried during the fight.
In a single night, the scandal swept through Cabinda's elite circles like wildfire.
This was exactly the outcome Natalie had orchestrated.
She wanted everyone in high society to know exactly how vicious this new stepmother was. The woman had barely stepped through the door before brutalizing her daughter-in-law.
By striking Natalie, Deborah had effectively slapped Jordan across the face. Jordan, the legitimate heir who had slaved away for The Lane Group, was now being humiliated by his father's new mistress-turned-wife.
The whispers were vicious. People sneered that a new wife always turned a man into a new father. The fact that Jackson hadn't immediately demanded justice for his daughter-in-law proved he was blindly favoring his new bride and youngest son.
Most of the elite hadn't met Kevin Lane yet, but they had heard Jackson brag about him. According to the patriarch, Kevin was a brilliant, exceptionally mature boy.
Sure, he was only ten, but Jackson wasn't exactly frail. He could easily run the company for another two or three decades. By the time he actually retired, Kevin would be fully primed to take over, while Jordan would be entering middle age, his drive and energy inevitably declining.
The future of The Lane Group was suddenly looking very murky. Many suspected Jackson was quietly plotting to change his successor.
The only reason he hadn't made it official was because the boy was underage. But turning a blind eye while Deborah battered his daughter-in-law? That was a massive red flag.
Naturally, as the gossip saturated the upper echelons, Isabella caught wind of it too.
When she heard the news, she wasn't surprised in the slightest.
The moment she learned Natalie was genuinely pregnant, Isabella knew that child would never see the light of day.
Natalie would have loved to keep it and pass it off as Jordan's, but Isabella had destroyed that plan by tipping Jordan off to his wife's dirty secrets.

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...
