After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 547

Jackson knew exactly what Natalie was capable of.

Sure, Natalie could never win a fight against Deborah face to face. But when it came to playing dirty, Natalie was more ruthless than anyone else.

Deborah scoffed. “Fine, I’ll go home and look after Kevin. I’ll stay away for a while, I promise. It’s just that she gets on my nerves. Jackson, after we’re married, why don’t we split the family? Let them move out, live their own lives.”

“Sometimes, a little distance is good for everyone. We might actually get along better if we’re not living together.”

Natalie, just coming down the stairs, stopped in her tracks. Her hand clenched tightly around the railing.

Deborah wasn’t even part of the family yet, and she was already trying to talk Jackson into splitting them up.

Jackson was already favoring that woman. If they actually split, Natalie and Jordan wouldn’t be around him every day. The father-son bond would fall apart, and the Lane family would slowly slip into Deborah’s hands.

Natalie wanted the whole Lane family, nothing less. Before she found out about Jackson’s affair, Jordan was always the only son. Everyone assumed everything in the Lane family would belong to Jordan someday.

Now there was this illegitimate child, Kevin, and his mother was even more ambitious. She wasn’t just after a share, she wanted everything.

To Natalie and Jordan, the Lane family was already theirs. There was no way they’d let Deborah and Kevin steal it from them.

Natalie didn’t go downstairs. She quietly turned around and slipped back into her room.

She called Jordan.

Jordan was fuming. Kevin was a real threat to his future.

Natalie paused to think. “Jordan, before you get back from your trip, have someone look into Deborah’s family. See if any of her sisters or friends can be useful to us.”

“She likes being the other woman, right? Fine. We’ll give her a taste of her own medicine. Let’s introduce another woman into Dad’s life, someone close to her, maybe her sister or her best friend. That’ll drive her crazy.”

As far as Natalie was concerned, Jackson cheated once, he’d cheat again and again. All it took was a woman who caught his eye, and he’d move on to someone younger, prettier, and better at flattering him.

Jordan laughed, sounding a little lighter. “Natalie, that’s actually brilliant. I’ll get someone to check out her family tomorrow. If none of her sisters work, I’ll find someone else young and beautiful to get close to Dad.”
