After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 912

Isabella’s business kept booming, and everyone knew why. It was all thanks to Ethan. Even after their divorce, as long as Ethan still had a soft spot for his ex-wife, people went out of their way to show Isabella respect. Everyone wanted to work with her.

She sat there, sipping her tea with practiced grace, letting Natalie ramble on and on. When Natalie finally ran out of steam, Isabella set her cup down and stood up. She slid the stack of cash and the fancy gift box Pansy had brought right back across the table.

Her face was calm but firm as she looked at Pansy. “Pansy, I told you before, I’m not settling.”

“Take your things back. It doesn’t matter what you say. I know exactly what kind of person Nadine is. She’s not sorry at all—she’s just scared of going to jail, scared it’ll ruin her shot at marrying into the Carter family.”

“If I just let this go, she’ll think she can get away with anything. That all she needs is her family to say sorry, throw some money around, and everything will be fine. She won’t be scared. She won’t learn. She’ll just get bolder, like nothing can ever touch her.”

“I said I wouldn’t settle because Nadine needs to learn a real lesson. Even if the court only gives her six months, that’s enough. She’ll remember it.”

“This is a society where the law matters. It doesn’t matter who you are, how much money you have, or what family you come from. If you break the law, you pay for it. If you do something wrong, you face the consequences.”

If Nadine didn’t get a wake-up call now, Isabella knew she’d just come after her again once she got out. She’d be even more ruthless.

This wasn’t the first time, either. Back then, Natalie had convinced Sophia to drug Isabella, but the plan backfired and Ethan ended up being the one who drank the coffee. Isabella wanted to go to the police, but Ethan forgave Sophia and Natalie for Sophia’s sake.
