After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 676

“Ethan, you’re still mad at me. You just won’t let it go, will you?” Natalie’s voice trembled with hurt.

“Natalie, I told you, I’m not in the mood. Just go home,” Ethan said, fighting to keep his temper in check.

His mind was a mess. He could barely focus. And Natalie was still going on about forgiveness, as if it even mattered anymore. Whether he forgave her or not, none of it changed what had already happened. She hadn’t really paid for what she did, and for Sophia’s sake, he’d tried to be fair, remembering all the years he and Natalie had spent together.

He hadn’t helped Isabella push the issue, and now Isabella was disappointed in him all over again. What more did Natalie want from him? Wasn’t it enough? He just wanted to be left alone, but Natalie couldn’t take the hint. She wouldn’t stop showing up when all he needed was some space.

Natalie could see how impatient Ethan was getting. She finally gave in, her voice soft. “Ethan, I’ll go. Don’t let it get to you, okay? If you’re really upset, call Jordan. Go grab a drink or something.”

Ethan didn’t say anything.

Natalie left, her face full of wounded pride. As soon as the elevator doors slid shut, her expression changed. The sadness vanished, replaced by something cold and sharp.

Isabella had actually managed to steal Ethan away from her. Ethan was completely done with her now. He’d never been like this before.

Natalie pulled out her phone and dialed a number, her tone low and secretive. No one could hear who was on the other end. “I’ll work with you. You said you wanted revenge for your boss, right?”

“I’ll help. I just want Isabella gone. But don’t let her off easy. Ruin her face, all of you take your turn with her, and then finish her for good. That’s the only way we’ll really get payback.”

“She’s the reason your boss is in jail. I bet you want revenge even more than I do.”

Natalie grabbed her purse and the gifts, then headed inside. People greeted her as she walked through the lobby. She smiled and nodded, even stopped to chat with a few of the higher-ups.

All the hellos and small talk slowed her down, so it took her more than ten minutes just to get upstairs.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she spotted Malvina waiting nearby. Malvina looked nervous, rushing over with a forced smile. “Natalie, what brings you here today?”

“This company belongs to my family. I can come and go as I please. Do I need your permission?” Natalie shot back.

She never liked Malvina. The last secretary had been married, which made Natalie feel more secure. But after that woman quit, Malvina took over. She was young, beautiful, and had a body that turned heads.
