Peter lowered his voice. "She pointed out how well Isabella is living while we're left to suffer. She said that no matter what mistakes we made in the past, we're old now. Isabella shouldn't hold grudges or just leave us out in the cold."
"She's deliberately stirring up our hatred for Isabella."
Berenice scoffed. "As if we need anyone to stir that up. We already loathe the girl. She's the reason I'm suffering like this. Sitting on millions, and she won't even pay a dime for her own grandmother's medical bills, let alone visit."
"Our eldest son was so devoted. How did he produce such an ungrateful wretch?"
She sneered. "If she didn't look a bit like him, I'd swear she wasn't even one of our own. Cold-blooded little bitch."
"She's definitely one of ours," Peter reasoned. "When our son was alive, he and Cynthia were deeply in love. Cynthia never would have strayed. Isabella is our flesh and blood granddaughter. It's just... she holds onto things. The past is the past, but she refuses to let it go."
"I didn't expect her to support us in our old age, but she could have at least coughed up some cash, especially with your hospital bills."
"So what exactly does this girl want us to do?" Berenice asked, narrowing her eyes. "If she's paying this much, she must want something massive. Old man, we can only take her money if we can actually pull this off. If we fail, we'll be forced to cough up every single cent we took."
These rich, powerful city people played dirty, and the George family was no match for them.
It wasn't the kind of game you could win by throwing a public tantrum. These people wouldn't even engage; they'd just call the cops and let the authorities handle the mess.
Things the George family considered completely normal family disputes suddenly turned into arrests and heavy fines the second the police were involved.
Just like when they had ambushed Isabella earlier. One of the younger boys had tried to get physical, Isabella had called the cops, and just like that, their grandson was tossed in a holding cell and slapped with a hefty fine.
"She asked if we wanted Isabella dead," Peter said.

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...
