After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1168
Natalie let out a bitter, mocking laugh.
"And what makes you think I'd actually listen to you?"
York's lips curled into a dark smile. "You don't have to listen to me right now. But you'll do it eventually. The problem is, if you wait, your chances of success plummet. Do it now, and the odds are entirely in your favor."
"I'm using you as my blade, sure. But don't you have a blade of your own you can wield? Isabella's biological relatives are practically begging to be used."
"Especially her grandmother. Berenice has terminal cancer. Rich or poor, she's standing at the edge of the grave. She's old, and her death wouldn't be a tragedy. But if she could secure millions of dollars for her precious grandson right before she died? Don't you think she'd be tempted?"
"I guarantee you, her grandparents want her dead even more than you do."
York was smoothly sliding a lethal weapon right into her hands.
"Berenice is on borrowed time, but she dotes on her youngest son and her grandson. Her family is useless. They squatted in Isabella's old house and ran their meager businesses into the ground."
"Her grandson is growing up. He needs a house, a car, and a wedding fund. That family can't afford any of it, which is exactly why they tried to bleed Isabella dry."
"If she could orchestrate the deaths of Isabella and Cynthia... Isabella is unmarried and childless. With both of them gone, her grandparents would legally inherit her entire estate."
"In the face of millions of dollars, don't you think the Georges would be tempted?"
Natalie stared at York, feeling a chill seep into her marrow. Anyone who crossed this man wouldn't even know how they died.
But the path he was laying out for her... it was incredibly tempting. What should she do?
"If you pull strings carefully enough, no one will ever trace it back to you. Isabella dies, and you go on living your fabulous life."
"The feud between Isabella and her grandparents is public knowledge in Cabinda. Everyone knows she refuses to be their personal ATM. If they get desperate and take matters into their own hands, no one would suspect an outside player."
Natalie swallowed hard. "Will you stab me in the back?"
Having been burned by him once, the paranoia was suffocating.

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...
