After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 1134

"Deborah, you and your sister caused Jordan and me to lose the baby we prayed so hard for. Now you're making up disgusting excuses, slandering me and claiming the baby wasn't his. You cross the line! This is pure bullying!"

As she spoke, Natalie broke down into aggrieved sobs.

"Enough!"

Jackson's face fell as he glared at his son and daughter-in-law. "Didn't we already handle this? Why are you dragging it out again? It's over."

"Jordan, Natalie, today is my wedding day. As my son and daughter-in-law, if you aren't sincere about giving your blessings, I understand. But you are not going to sabotage my big day."

"Natalie, you are unwell. Go home and rest. You don't need to attend the reception. It's crowded and chaotic, and it wouldn't be good if someone accidentally bumped into you."

Jackson was outright kicking his daughter-in-law out.

Natalie shrieked through her tears, "Dad, she caused my miscarriage! That was your own grandchild! Am I supposed to just swallow the pain because of your wedding? Who pities me? Who pities the child that never even got the chance to be born?"

"Dad, if you don't give me justice today, I won't let this go."

She spun around to face the crowd. "Look at my Wicked Stepmother here! She teamed up with her sister and viciously beat me. I had just gotten pregnant, and they beat me until I lost the baby. And my father-in-law just wants to sweep it under the rug."

"They always say a stepmother turns a man into a stepdad! My poor husband lost his mother when he was young, and his father never had time for him. Cynthia practically raised him. Now his father marries a new wife, has a new son, and his biases are blinding."

"My husband and I tried to conceive for so long, and when we finally did... Look at them! You tell me, is this fair?"

"Natalie!"

Jackson's face was as black as coal.

"What nonsense are you spewing? Deborah didn't do it on purpose. Furthermore, you provoked it! She already apologized, and I gave you compensation. What more do you want?"

Stepmothers really were bad news.

Deborah was far more cunning than Cynthia. Plus, she shared a biological son with Jackson, so of course she was going to fight for his future. Who was she fighting against? Jordan and Natalie, naturally.

The animosity between a stepmother and a stepson was practically guaranteed. When Natalie, the daughter-in-law, actively provoked her, why would Deborah back down?

It was a messy situation where both sides claimed to be the victim.

Family drama was something outsiders were happy to watch but smart enough not to intervene in. Judging right from wrong was impossible.

Even the best judge couldn't rule on domestic squabbles.

But one thing was certain: Deborah was now permanently branded with the title of an evil, toxic stepmother.
