After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1053

"Officers, you stand for justice! You should be arresting unfilial brats like Isabella, not upstanding citizens like us!"

The rest of the Georges immediately chimed in, creating a chaotic chorus of complaints about Isabella's supposed lack of familial devotion.

Isabella stared at them, her voice dropping to a freezing temperature. "Go back and visit you? Would I even dare? You tried to sell me off. You tried to sell my mother. Even after we escaped and my mother remarried, you tracked us down trying to kidnap me so you could pawn me off!"

"Did you ever raise me? Did you ever spend a single dime on me? After my dad died, what exactly did you do to us? Now that I have money, you think you can just show up and bleed me dry? Keep dreaming!"

"I'll say it again: go ahead and sue me. Whatever minimum amount the judge orders me to pay a month, I'll pay it. But you won't get a single penny more!"

Benita, Isabella's aunt, scoffed. "Isabella, at the end of the day, you carry the George family blood. Sure, your grandparents and uncles might have done some things to wrong you and your mother in the past, but that's all in the past! What's the point of constantly digging up old history? No matter what, they are your biological grandparents. Refusing to even see them is just plain heartless."

"Your grandmother's medical bills are pocket change to you. What's the big deal if you pay them? Out of everyone, you're living the best life. You're loaded. Coughing up a few hundred thousand dollars wouldn't even put a dent in your bank account."

"But for ordinary people like us, that's a massive fortune. It would completely bankrupt several of our families."

"Your grandparents know they were wrong. They always talk about how they failed you. Can't you just be the bigger person and forgive them? They're old."

Isabella's gaze was lethal. "Just because something happened in the past doesn't mean it didn't happen, and it certainly doesn't mean it deserves forgiveness. I will never forgive what they did to me and my mother for as long as I live."

"Don't try to moralize me. I said what I said—I'll pay exactly what the court forces me to pay. But since you came here and trashed my business, you're going to compensate me for every single broken item."
