After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 386

The Adams Estate.

In the main hall of the big house, Jennifer put on her best smile and turned to Stephanie. “Mom, why did you call everyone back? Is something going on?”

As the lady of the house, she had absolutely no idea what was happening. She didn’t even know what Stephanie wanted to announce. Was it possible Stephanie was finally going to split up her fortune and give everyone a share? Surely, they would get something. Stephanie’s wealth was no secret. She had a jewelry vault that everyone in the family envied. Sure, Jennifer had her own collection, but nothing compared to the treasures Stephanie owned. Most of Stephanie’s pieces were antiques passed down from generations of her old-money family. Each one was rare and priceless.

Stephanie, now eighty, still looked elegant and kind. She could easily pass for someone in her sixties. She glanced at Jennifer, then looked around at everyone else in the room. The grandsons had started to arrive, and soon the hall was packed with family.

“It wasn’t my idea to call you all back,” Stephanie finally said, her voice steady and strong. “Ethan asked me to do it. He’s bringing Isabella home for dinner tonight. He says he has something he needs to make clear to everyone. Apparently, he feels he owes Isabella an apology.”

“I have no idea what he could have possibly done,” she added.

Everyone in the room looked at each other, confused. Jennifer felt a chill run down her spine. Did Isabella already tell Ethan what happened today?

“Mom, why is he bringing her back here?” Jennifer blurted out. “I told him before, if he insisted on marrying Isabella, fine, but I would never accept her into this house. She’s not the daughter-in-law we wanted.”
