“Everyone at home seems to love growing vegetables. Look at our backyard, we have a little garden, too. My grandma sometimes goes out there just to dig in the dirt for fun.”
The Mason family’s grand villa really did have a vegetable patch out back, though the staff were usually the ones who took care of it. Out of everyone, only Stephanie had time on her hands, so she’d sometimes head outside to get her hands dirty and pretend she was living the simple life.
“Alright.”
Laura glanced over. “What’s going on with that trending topic?”
She’d left in such a hurry this morning that she hadn’t even checked the updates.
Jesse filled her in. Harold and Ethan had both put out statements to clear things up. The story had flipped, and now nobody was attacking Isabella anymore.
“You can go online and see for yourself. Isabella’s already back at work. She confirmed that the villagers really did stand up for her, and she even released a recording of her relatives coming to her office and making demands.”
Laura’s eyes widened as Jesse continued. “After hearing that audio, everyone online is furious with her grandparents and those relatives. They’re saying they were so cruel back then, bullying a widow and a child, stealing the family’s property... and now, as soon as Isabella’s doing well, they have the audacity to ask for favors.”
Jesse shook his head. “After Isabella posted that recording, her relatives have been hiding out in some cheap hotel, too afraid to even step outside. They’re scared the angry netizens will find them and give them a piece of their mind.”
Laura couldn’t help but feel a rush of satisfaction.
“They got what they deserved. Those people are disgusting. When they couldn’t get anything from Isabella, they tried to ruin her online and twist the truth.”
Some people really thought they could just use the internet to control public opinion. But if you want to stir up a cyberbullying storm, you’d better be ready for the backlash when the truth comes out.
The George family was getting exactly what was coming to them.
“There are even rumors going around that Natalie put them up to this. She supposedly told the George family to go to the Adamses’ place and try to stir up trouble with Mrs. Adams. But they haven’t gone yet. They’re probably waiting for the relatives who got detained to be released first.”

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...
