“I’m telling you right now, if any of you mess with Isabella again, I’ll make sure your businesses back home go under. And that house and restaurant you took from her dad? You should give them back to her.”
“Don’t wait for her to take you to court. If she does, you’ll lose, no question. Isabella and Cynthia are first in line for her father’s inheritance.”
“Maybe the older folks here don’t get how inheritance law works, but the younger ones have no excuse.”
“If you think Isabella has no one on her side just because she’s divorced, you’re wrong. I’m here for her.”
“Peter, I can find out exactly what your kids and grandkids do for work. If you keep bothering Isabella, if you hurt her again, I’ll make sure they all lose their jobs. I’ll make sure you can’t even get by in your own hometown.”
“I mean it.”
Harold stood up and turned to leave.
There was no reasoning with these people. They just didn’t care about right or wrong at all. Even his usual patience ran out with them. No wonder Isabella let them crowd around her—she needed a reason to get the young, reckless ones hauled off to the police.
Now that those troublemakers were locked up, the rest of the group had lost their nerve. They were just relying on being older and outnumbering her, but Isabella wasn’t intimidated anymore.
“Harold, wait, Harold.”
Peter and the others called after him, getting up to block his path.
“Harold, let’s talk. We can work something out. If you’re willing, you don’t have to give us the whole ten million we asked Isabella for. We’d settle for eight or nine million from you. Think of it as a discount.”
Harold let out a sharp laugh, more out of disbelief than amusement.

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