After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 188

Jordan’s brows knitted together. “Ever since Cynthia and Isabella moved in, they’ve had nothing to do with the George family. The Georges kicked them out back then and meant to cut ties for good.”

He didn’t know much about Cynthia’s ex-husband or his family. Cynthia had married in when Jordan was just a kid, maybe ten years old. All he remembered was that Isabella’s birth father was a George, and after he died, his family threw Cynthia and Isabella out. The Georges couldn’t stand that Isabella was a girl. By tossing them aside, they could keep their late son’s inheritance for themselves.

Rumor had it Isabella still had two uncles on her dad’s side. Her grandparents were heartless, probably because they wanted the money to support their younger sons. Their eldest was gone, so they pinned their hopes on the others. If Isabella had been a boy, there was no way her grandparents would’ve kicked her out. In the end, the George family only cared about having sons.

“Find out what’s going on with the George family now,” Natalie said, her tone calculating. “If they’re struggling, let’s make sure they hear about Isabella marrying rich. They’ll come running after her for money.”

“I think her dad’s family is from some remote village. Those country folks are tough and shameless. If they learn Isabella’s loaded and living the high life, they’ll come looking for a handout, even without us telling them to.”

“The Adams family elders already don’t like Isabella. If a whole group of poor relatives show up, they’ll just hate her even more.” That was exactly what Natalie wanted. If everyone in the Adams family turned against Isabella, she’d lose her footing, and eventually she and Ethan would split up. Without Ethan backing her, Natalie was curious to see what Isabella could really do.

She doubted people like Barbara and Linda actually wanted to be friends with Isabella. Those two even looked down on Natalie. They acted like royalty, thinking no one was good enough for them. Why would Isabella ever fit in with them?

“Alright, I’ll get someone to dig up info on the George family and let them know about Isabella’s marriage.”
