It was all Isabella's fault for being so cold-blooded and refusing to part with a single cent. If she had just paid the medical bills, her children wouldn't have been so stressed, and she could have stayed in a VIP suite instead of a noisy, shared hospital ward.
Isabella was so rich that even a fraction of what slipped through her fingers would have been enough to let them live in luxury.
Berenice couldn't help but curse Isabella.
Everyone listened to her rant in silence. After quickly cleaning up the place, the four youngsters took their showers and retreated to their rooms to play on their phones.
Peter helped his elderly wife lie down on the bed in the living room. At his age, caring for her was exhausting, and his back constantly ached.
He glanced at the two bedrooms. Seeing the doors firmly shut, he grabbed his bag, pulled out a thick stack of cash, and nudged his wife.
Berenice's eyes lit up at the sight of the money. A joyful smile spread across her face, and as she opened her mouth to speak, Peter quickly hushed her, gesturing for quiet so the grandsons wouldn't hear.
He had told the younger generation they were nearly out of money, urging them to be frugal, to find jobs if they could, and for the underage ones to stay home and handle the cooking and groceries.
He didn't dare let the kids know he was sitting on a small fortune.
Lowering her voice, Berenice asked, "Where did you get all this money? I thought we were broke."
"A woman gave it to me," Peter replied softly. "I don't know her, and she wouldn't give me her name. She only said she wants us to deal with Isabella. This is the down payment. Once we've made up our minds and agree to do it, she'll give us another lump sum."
"And when the job is done, she'll pay us millions of dollars. With that kind of cash, our boys can buy cars, get houses, and finally afford to get married."
The elderly couple had always despised Isabella for being a girl. After their eldest son died in a tragic accident, they hadn't spared a thought for his memory, instead attempting to practically sell off Cynthia and Isabella. Yet, they fiercely doted on their other grandchildren.

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...
