After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1172
"York won't get his hands dirty if he wants to avoid going back to prison. Natalie is at his mercy, making her the perfect proxy. But Natalie doesn't want to rot in a cell either. She might be ruthless, but she hasn't crossed the line into murder yet."
"If she wants to survive, she'll find a blade of her own—one that can't be traced back to her. Your relatives are the perfect targets. They're broke, miserable, and furious that you cut them off. If Natalie waves a stack of cash in their faces..."
"There's no telling what they'd do. They already harassed you at the cafe. And the only reason they know you're wealthy now is because Natalie tipped them off."
"They're already in bed together."
Isabella processed the warning. "You're right. I need to treat them as an active threat."
She paused. "Do you think I should try to smooth things over with my grandparents?"
"Smoothing things over just means feeding the beast. Their only goal is your bank account. Give them ten thousand, they'll demand a hundred thousand. Give them a hundred, they'll want millions."
"They know exactly what you're worth now. Do you honestly think a payout will satisfy them?"
"You'll just become their personal ATM. They'll bleed you dry for retirement funds, demand you cover every emergency your aunts and uncles invent, and guilt you into buying houses and cars for your male cousins. It would drain a massive chunk of your wealth."
"Are you okay with that? After how viciously they treated you and your mother? Forget about how you feel—even as an outsider, it makes my blood boil."
"They aren't sorry. They just want your money. Remember their insane demands when they first tracked you down? They weaponized your blood ties to manipulate you."
"They stole your family's property, and then had the audacity to demand you share your hard-earned success with them."
"The second you run out of money and lose your usefulness, they'll throw you to the wolves all over again."
Ethan paused to let the harsh truth sink in. "Isabella, I strictly advise against compromising with them. They're leeches, a bottomless pit."
"I'm going to assign a security detail to you. You do not leave the house without bodyguards. Don't take any chances. It's better to be overly cautious."

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...
