After Isabella finished speaking, she turned around and pressed the intercom. “Nana, please call security and have them escort these people out,” she said calmly.
Peter’s face twisted with anger. “We’re not leaving until you give us the money!”
Isabella didn’t even glance at him. “You’re not leaving? Fine, I’ll call the police.”
She picked up her phone and dialed. “And what about your grandsons, granddaughters, all those kids? Don’t you all have any shame? Once the police take you away, you won’t even be able to keep your small businesses running.”
Peter puffed up, trying to look intimidating. “Go ahead and call! What, do you think I’m scared? I’m your grandfather. It’s only right for me to ask my granddaughter for money.”
The rest of the family jumped in, voices overlapping, blaming and scolding Isabella.
She tuned them out, not even flinching as she tapped in the emergency number and put the phone to her ear.
Watching her actually call the police, everyone started to panic a little. They’d thought Isabella would be easy to push around, but she wasn’t backing down at all. In fact, she was tougher than they’d expected. They all knew deep down that they’d treated Cynthia and Isabella badly before, and honestly, the demands they’d just made were way out of line.
If the police showed up and took them to the station, they’d have no defense at all.
“Oh, and officer, I’d like to report something else,” Isabella said into the phone, her voice steady. “Over twenty years ago, my grandparents and uncles tried to sell me and my mom. My uncle saved us, and there were plenty of witnesses.”
“Is there any way they can be held responsible? Now they’re here again, trying to blackmail and threaten me.”
The George family fell completely silent.
Paul suddenly lost it. He shot to his feet and rushed at Isabella, reaching for her phone and yelling, “You stupid girl, what are you talking about? When did I ever try to sell you?”

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...
