The idea of selling Isabella was especially hard to stomach. She was his niece, after all—the only family his brother had left behind.
“Yeah, Dad, let’s talk to Cynthia. Maybe we can get something out of her,” Paul suggested. “She’s a lot easier to handle than Isabella.”
Peter shot his kids a look, his patience running thin. “Cynthia’s remarried. She’s not part of our family anymore. She’s been living the good life for twenty years. Do you really think she’s still the same Cynthia from back then? Besides, she and Jackson split up on good terms. If we start trouble with her, Jackson might step in. And honestly, we have no grounds. Isabella is my granddaughter, so I can act like the concerned grandpa. But Cynthia remembers everything we did. She hates us even more now. If we go after her, it’ll get us nowhere.”
He paused, thinking it over. “But… we could try threatening Cynthia. Isabella’s her only child. If we tell her to pay up or we’ll keep bothering Isabella, she might hand over some money. Let’s keep an eye on Cynthia, see when she’s alone. Right now, she and her brother are both staying at Isabella’s place.”
Just thinking about the huge house Isabella got after the divorce made Peter burn with jealousy. He wished he could move in right now. After all these years, he’d never lived in a place like that. If he could spend his last days in Isabella’s mansion, he’d die happy.
While the George family schemed about squeezing money out of Cynthia and Isabella, Harold headed back to the Carter estate.

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...
