Harold looked them in the eye. “I’m going to win Isabella over with my own sincerity. I don’t need your help, and I don’t want you making things harder for her. Just stay out of the way. Move, or I’ll call my bodyguards, and trust me, you won’t like how that turns out.”
He pulled out his phone, ready to make the call.
The George family scrambled to stop him, blocking his hand.
Peter tried to change the subject. “At least pay for the meal before you leave, Harold.”
“If you hadn’t invited us here, I wouldn’t have ordered so much. You said this was your treat, remember?”
Harold just stared back, speechless. He couldn’t believe he’d come here tonight. What a mistake.
No wonder Isabella was willing to put herself on the line to send these troublemakers to jail. Even though she didn’t grow up with the George family, she knew exactly how greedy they were.
There was no way she’d ever let them manipulate her, and she definitely wasn’t about to give in to their demands.
Harold had come here thinking he could help smooth things over for Isabella, but he hadn’t expected them to be so shameless, only caring about what they could get.
Money wasn’t the problem. If he wanted to, he could give them whatever they asked for in a second. But why should he? After everything they’d done to Cynthia and Isabella, he wasn’t here to give them a reward, he wanted justice.
These people would never be satisfied. If he gave in now, they’d just come back for more.
And if Isabella found out he tried to settle things for her behind her back, she’d be furious.
Harold took out his wallet, grabbed three hundred dollars, and tossed it onto the table in front of Peter. Then he shoved past the two standing in his way and walked out with long, determined strides.

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...
