After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 156

“Isabella, apologize to Natalie. Right now.” Ethan’s voice was sharp. His expression was cold, like a storm brewing.

“Why should I apologize? I didn’t do anything. I’m not saying sorry for something I didn’t do.” Isabella’s chin lifted in defiance. She refused to look away. In her mind, she hadn’t done anything wrong. Well, maybe she had let her guard down. She’d underestimated Natalie and fallen for her stupid trick.

Harold stepped in, trying to calm things down. “Ethan, I really don’t think Isabella is lying. Maybe we should figure out what actually happened before blaming her.”

Ethan shot Harold a glare. He hated when Harold tried to protect Isabella. Deep down, he suspected Harold liked her. Ever since Harold found out Ethan had married Isabella to use her, Harold wouldn’t let it go. He was always lecturing Ethan, telling him not to mess with Isabella’s feelings, saying she was innocent and never should’ve been dragged into his mess.

There was also that time at the beach. Harold bought Isabella a kite. Ethan had paid him back, but the whole thing still bothered him. It felt like his best friend wanted his wife. Sure, Ethan had feelings for Jordan’s wife, but it wasn’t the same. He and Jordan and Natalie had grown up together. There was a history there. Harold knew Isabella was married to Ethan, but still kept crossing the line.

“Harold, don’t speak for her. She’s my wife. I know exactly what she’s like. She did it, I’m sure.”

Linda spoke up, her tone cool and matter-of-fact. “There are cameras in this hotel, aren’t there? Ethan, why not check the security footage? Then you’ll know if Isabella really poured juice on Natalie, or if Natalie set her up.”

Isabella shot Linda a grateful look.
