After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 951

A few hundred bucks a month, tops. For Isabella these days, that kind of money was nothing.

Harold looked embarrassed. “I really didn’t think they could be so shameless. I’ve never met people so unreasonable in my life.”

“In our world, because our family is powerful, we only ever meet ‘good’ people. But let’s be honest, they’re only nice because they want to stay on the Carter family’s good side.” When you’re strong enough, everyone around you acts like a friend. But the moment you hit a rough patch, that’s when you see who people really are. If they don’t kick you while you’re down, you’re already lucky. In the end, everything comes down to self-interest.

“I warned them. If they try to mess with Isabella again, I’ll make sure they can’t even survive in their own hometown.”

Barbara spoke up. “They’re not doing well back home. If they were, they wouldn’t be coming to Isabella for help. I’ve heard her talk about her relatives. They’re from some small fishing village by the coast. When her dad was alive, he and her mom ran a seafood restaurant. Business was great when the tourists came in. After her dad died, her grandparents took over the restaurant and handed it to her uncle. He ran it right into the ground. I heard he was sketchy, always overcharging customers, kept getting fined, but never learned his lesson. Word got around and business tanked. Isabella’s cousins aren’t doing any better. Now that they’ve failed and Isabella’s doing well, of course they’re jealous and want a piece of her success. They’re already desperate, so I doubt your threats even matter to them.”

People with nothing to lose aren’t scared of anything. Isabella actually has something to protect, but the George family has already lost everything. What could possibly scare them? They’d just keep clinging to Isabella, refusing to let go.
