After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 1227

Peter lowered his voice. "She pointed out how well Isabella is living while we're left to suffer. She said that no matter what mistakes we made in the past, we're old now. Isabella shouldn't hold grudges or just leave us out in the cold."

"She's deliberately stirring up our hatred for Isabella."

Berenice scoffed. "As if we need anyone to stir that up. We already loathe the girl. She's the reason I'm suffering like this. Sitting on millions, and she won't even pay a dime for her own grandmother's medical bills, let alone visit."

"Our eldest son was so devoted. How did he produce such an ungrateful wretch?"

She sneered. "If she didn't look a bit like him, I'd swear she wasn't even one of our own. Cold-blooded little bitch."

"She's definitely one of ours," Peter reasoned. "When our son was alive, he and Cynthia were deeply in love. Cynthia never would have strayed. Isabella is our flesh and blood granddaughter. It's just... she holds onto things. The past is the past, but she refuses to let it go."

"I didn't expect her to support us in our old age, but she could have at least coughed up some cash, especially with your hospital bills."

"So what exactly does this girl want us to do?" Berenice asked, narrowing her eyes. "If she's paying this much, she must want something massive. Old man, we can only take her money if we can actually pull this off. If we fail, we'll be forced to cough up every single cent we took."

These rich, powerful city people played dirty, and the George family was no match for them.

It wasn't the kind of game you could win by throwing a public tantrum. These people wouldn't even engage; they'd just call the cops and let the authorities handle the mess.

Things the George family considered completely normal family disputes suddenly turned into arrests and heavy fines the second the police were involved.

Just like when they had ambushed Isabella earlier. One of the younger boys had tried to get physical, Isabella had called the cops, and just like that, their grandson was tossed in a holding cell and slapped with a hefty fine.

"She asked if we wanted Isabella dead," Peter said.
