After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 984
Deborah knew all too well just how seriously the Lane family was tied to the Gates family. Their businesses were closely connected, almost impossible to separate.
There was no way Jordan and Natalie could just split up. If they got divorced, the partnership between their families would collapse, and both sides would suffer massive losses.
Deborah always kept her priorities straight. The Lane Group’s fortune would eventually go to her son, so she couldn’t risk anything that might threaten that. Of course she wasn’t going to let Natalie and Jordan get a divorce.
As for Natalie, she wasn’t really planning to leave Jordan, either. She just needed to vent.
She flopped down on the sofa, tears coming faster as she sobbed, “Dad, if you won’t stand up for me, I’ll call my parents and have them come over to demand justice for me.”
Deborah had a habit of playing the victim first, twisting right and wrong until black looked like white. Natalie had been caught in her traps more than a few times.
But this time, Natalie was determined. She wiped her cheeks and insisted Jackson check the security footage, determined to prove her innocence.
Things between her and Deborah were always tense, constant bickering, but this time, Natalie hadn’t laid a finger on her. She wasn’t about to take the blame now.
Seeing Natalie refuse to back down, Deborah finally had no choice. She looked at Jackson and admitted, “Jackson, I’m sorry. I lied earlier. I blamed Natalie for something she didn’t do. The slap mark on my face... I did it myself.”
She kept going, “I only did it because Natalie was shouting at me. I got so angry, I just wanted to get back at her—so when I heard you coming, I gave myself a slap and pretended she did it. I’m sorry. It was wrong. I shouldn’t have blamed her. I’ll apologize to Natalie right now and I promise I’ll never pull something like this again.”
At first, Jackson had been sure Natalie really had hit Deborah. He knew Natalie’s temper. She wasn’t exactly sweet or gentle and had plenty of resentment toward Deborah. It wouldn’t have been the first time things went too far between them.

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...
