“What are you waiting for? This is your inheritance we’re talking about. Or are you really okay with watching your dad hand everything over to Deborah and Kevin?”
Jordan didn’t answer. Deep down, he knew his wife was right.
The office phone rang. Jordan hit the speaker button, and Malvina’s voice came through, loud and clear. “Jordan, Mandy’s here again. The front desk stopped her, but she’s making a scene downstairs and insists on seeing you.”
“I got it. Wait for my call,” Jordan replied, his tone ice-cold. He hung up without another word.
Natalie turned to him. “She’s probably here to bring you something again. You should just see her. I’ll go first. And don’t forget, she’s our pawn. If we don’t use her, everything we’ve done so far goes down the drain.”
She got up to leave. “I’ll avoid running into her. Once I’m in the elevator, call the front desk and let her up.”
If Malvina wanted to take her place, throwing Mandy into the mix would make things interesting. Let them fight it out.
Natalie’s mind was crystal clear at that moment. No matter how hard she tried or how much she did, she couldn’t stop Jordan from cheating. She was about to sleep with Ethan anyway, so why pretend anymore? If they were both going to mess around, then let them. Jordan and Malvina had already crossed almost every line. In Natalie’s eyes, her husband was already unfaithful. If he hooked up with another woman, she didn’t care anymore.
Jordan stood to walk her out, but Natalie waved him off. “Don’t bother. Call the front desk and let Mandy up.”
Natalie was just looking, but honestly, she would have decided to rent it even without seeing it.
She signed the lease right there with the landlord. She was going to open her own media company in Isabella’s old studio, following the same path Isabella had to success, even making short dramas.
She’d told her mother, if Isabella created a hit, she’d just have someone copy it. If Isabella tried to sue, the whole lawsuit would drag on forever. By the time anything happened, Natalie would have already made her money. She wasn’t afraid of getting sued. She’d just hire writers who were good at copying stories, and there wouldn’t be much Isabella could do.
Natalie wasn’t afraid of lawsuits, but if she could avoid them, even better.

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
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...
