Otherwise, the public would tear his father apart for abandoning his oldest son just to please his new wife.
As the firstborn, Jordan had sacrificed everything for The Lane Group and brought in millions of dollars in profit. Would his father really dare to ignore him without offering significant compensation?
"It's late, Nat. You're still weak, so get some sleep. Stop letting it get to you. You know Isabella did that on purpose. The angrier you get, the happier she is."
"We both know how we treated her in the past. Honestly, what she did tonight was letting us off easy."
"I despise her," Natalie spat, her voice thick with venom. "Seeing her act so arrogant makes me sick to my stomach. I curse her every single day. I hope she gets hit by a car, or kidnapped and tortured to death!"
"She only acts so high and mighty because she's pretty. One day, I'm going to carve up her face and ruin her completely. I'll make her hideous!"
Jordan walked over and picked up the pillow she had thrown.
"Enough. You spent so much time plotting against her that you dragged yourself down with her. If you hadn't gone looking for street thugs to do your dirty work, none of this would have happened."
He still blamed her for recklessly contacting the criminal underworld on her own.
Ultimately, it boiled down to the fact that he was deeply bothered by other men having touched her.
When he cheated, he had only slept with one other woman.
But she had slept with several men, making him a complete laughingstock.
That betrayal was a jagged thorn embedded deep in his pride, one that would fester for the rest of his life.
The second he no longer needed the Gates family's backing, he was going to file for divorce.
Natalie immediately clamped her mouth shut.
Meanwhile, outside the hospital, Isabella turned to Harold. "That was amazing. I was exhausted all day, but seeing my enemy crash and burn gave me a total second wind."

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...
