After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1189
Those victims had suffered horrific abuse before being brutally murdered.
Jesse's warning to suppress the media was critical. The police could handle it, and their combined wealthy networks would hunt for a rescue opportunity.
If a safe extraction wasn't guaranteed, they would prepare the ransom and follow the kidnappers' instructions to the letter.
Getting Barbara back alive was the only priority.
Raising a hundred million dollars in liquid cash was entirely within the Carter family's means.
"I know. I'll make sure it stays quiet. My dad has probably already locked it down."
After hanging up, Harold immediately issued orders to enforce a total media blackout. He then called his father, Arthur Carter, who had already rushed back to the estate.
Arthur was resolute about involving the authorities, a move Harold supported. Samantha was paralyzed by fear, terrified that calling the cops would trigger Barbara's murder, but she ultimately yielded to her husband's decision.
While coordinating with law enforcement, Arthur also began liquidating assets to gather the hundred million dollars, ensuring they were prepared for any scenario.
"I am going to find whoever did this and tear them apart piece by piece. How dare they touch my sister!"
Harold snarled, his voice vibrating with rage.
Keeping her eyes on the road, Isabella said, "Kidnappers are desperate, reckless criminals. When they need cash, they hunt the rich. Ethan and I were targeted on our way home not that long ago."
The difference was that she and Ethan had fought back with everything they had, buying enough time for the police to arrive.
Because Isabella had fought like a woman with nothing to lose, she ended up crashing the kidnappers' vehicle. The criminals were apprehended, and the ones who escaped were eventually caught.

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...
