After Pansy and Natalie walked out of Isabella’s company, Natalie couldn’t help but turn around, her eyes lingering on the building.
“Natalie, what’s up?” Pansy called out, pressing the car window button when she saw Natalie wasn’t getting in.
Natalie’s gaze was sharp. “Her company only exists because of Ethan. He gave her the money, and everyone who works with her does it because of him. Let’s be honest, her whole career started with a man’s help, yet she acts like she’s some kind of self-made queen.”
Natalie finally slid into the passenger seat. She hadn’t driven herself, so she was riding with Pansy today. As she buckled up, her tone softened a little. “Yeah, Ethan gave Isabella a leg up, but she’s the one who managed to make a name for herself. Her short dramas are making real money. More and more people are jumping on the bandwagon now.”
“And you have to admit, her company’s stuff is always top quality. She really does have an eye for this business.”
Natalie had tried her hand at investing too. She hadn’t started her own company, but she’d put money into a few different projects. Some of them paid off, others were disasters. Honestly, she’d lost more than she’d made.
One wrong investment, and you could lose everything.
That’s why Natalie was getting more cautious. The only thing she was still seriously considering was starting her own short drama company. But she was an outsider, and she knew it. She had to pay extra to hire decent scriptwriters, scramble for scripts, and hire actors and directors. Just getting started cost her way more than it had cost Isabella.
Even if she managed to produce something, she had no idea if it would actually make money. She hadn’t even lined up deals with any streaming platforms yet. You had to secure a partnership first—otherwise, what was the point of making anything if you had nowhere to put it?
Pansy was quiet for a moment, then said, “Honestly, who would have thought you could make money from episodes that are barely a minute or two long?”

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...
