After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1171
"I doubt I could sway her. Unless I sacrificed myself, she'd never stand with us."
Having grown up with her, Ethan understood Natalie's twisted psychology far better than Isabella did.
Natalie would never back down. She would ride this out to the bitter end.
Unless he offered himself up as a prize, or unless Isabella was dead, Natalie would never lift a finger to help them take down York. In fact, she was highly likely to team up with York to destroy them both.
After experiencing the full scope of his prophetic dreams, Ethan's heart had grown entirely cold toward her.
The dreams had laid her true nature bare: she only ever wanted his fortune. She planned to drain his accounts, leave him for dead, and live happily ever after with Jordan.
From the very beginning, Jordan had been her endgame.
Her claims of loving Ethan? Pure manipulation.
She and Jordan were cut from the same rotten cloth. Ethan finally realized he was fundamentally different from them—he actually had a conscience and lines he refused to cross.
His greatest sin in this life had been his deceptive marriage, and the horrific pain he had inflicted on Isabella.
Isabella fell silent for a moment before sighing. "Then it's up to us to dig up the dirt. You're right. She despises me too much to ever cooperate."
"I gave her too much credit."
She had assumed that being violently manipulated by York would breed a thirst for vengeance in Natalie.
But with Isabella in the crosshairs, Natalie would never set aside her personal vendetta to take York down. If they approached her, she would probably run straight to York and spill everything.
"Let me handle the investigation, Isabella. I'll put my best people on it. Just wait for my word."
Ethan's network was lightyears ahead of hers.
And he refused to let her put herself in the line of fire.

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...
