After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 512

Once the two of them stepped out, Laura lowered her voice. “So that’s Jackson’s mistress?”

“Yeah, that’s her,” Isabella replied. She’d seen pictures of Deborah before.

Laura shook her head. “Honestly, she’s not even as pretty as Cynthia. She’s just younger and knows how to dress up to look seductive.”

“Men like Jackson just want something new. They always think the women outside are better. But once they actually marry the other woman, they’ll realize maybe she’s not even as good as their wife.”

“Anyway, my mom’s already divorced him. He wasn’t completely heartless. He gave her sixty million, and counting what he gave her before, she walked away with over a hundred million after twenty years of marriage.”

“My mom’s never been a big spender. With all that, she’ll have no worries at all about retirement.” She’d be more than comfortable.

Both Isabella and her mom knew Jackson wouldn’t give them anything more. Most of his money was locked up as premarital assets. Cynthia was honestly content with the sixty million. By keeping calm and not making a scene, she secured that money for herself. If she’d started fighting and arguing, turning the divorce ugly, Jackson might have just thrown a couple million her way to get rid of her. Or maybe he would have given her nothing.

“I don’t have to worry about my mom anymore. Now it’s just my own divorce with Ethan that has me stressed. I’m worried something will go wrong.”

Ethan had started dreaming about their past life. Isabella was scared he might change his mind about the divorce. He was convinced that she died because they split up, because once she lost the title of Mrs. Adams and his protection, people dared to hurt her. That’s how she ended up dead.

What he still didn’t get was that all her misery started with him. He tricked her into marrying him, dragged her into his world, and that’s what led to all her pain and eventually her death.

“I just want to get out of the hospital as soon as possible. If he refuses to go to the registry office, I’ll drag him there myself.”
