After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 914

After Pansy and Natalie walked out of Isabella’s company, Natalie couldn’t help but turn around, her eyes lingering on the building.

“Natalie, what’s up?” Pansy called out, pressing the car window button when she saw Natalie wasn’t getting in.

Natalie’s gaze was sharp. “Her company only exists because of Ethan. He gave her the money, and everyone who works with her does it because of him. Let’s be honest, her whole career started with a man’s help, yet she acts like she’s some kind of self-made queen.”

Natalie finally slid into the passenger seat. She hadn’t driven herself, so she was riding with Pansy today. As she buckled up, her tone softened a little. “Yeah, Ethan gave Isabella a leg up, but she’s the one who managed to make a name for herself. Her short dramas are making real money. More and more people are jumping on the bandwagon now.”

“And you have to admit, her company’s stuff is always top quality. She really does have an eye for this business.”

Natalie had tried her hand at investing too. She hadn’t started her own company, but she’d put money into a few different projects. Some of them paid off, others were disasters. Honestly, she’d lost more than she’d made.

One wrong investment, and you could lose everything.

That’s why Natalie was getting more cautious. The only thing she was still seriously considering was starting her own short drama company. But she was an outsider, and she knew it. She had to pay extra to hire decent scriptwriters, scramble for scripts, and hire actors and directors. Just getting started cost her way more than it had cost Isabella.

Even if she managed to produce something, she had no idea if it would actually make money. She hadn’t even lined up deals with any streaming platforms yet. You had to secure a partnership first—otherwise, what was the point of making anything if you had nowhere to put it?

Pansy was quiet for a moment, then said, “Honestly, who would have thought you could make money from episodes that are barely a minute or two long?”

She looked at Pansy, hopeful. “Don’t you know Harold’s aunt? Maybe you could talk to Pearl, say a few things about Isabella, make the Carter family dislike her. Even if Harold is crazy about her, she’ll never get to marry into their family.”

Natalie was practically begging Pansy to speak badly of Isabella to the Carters.

Before Pansy could say anything, Natalie kept going. “When Isabella married Ethan, the only one in the Adams family who treated her decently was Stephanie. The rest couldn’t stand her. She’s already been through so much. If the Carters reject her too, I doubt she’d ever go through with marrying Harold.”

Pansy sighed. “I do know Pearl, but she’s just an aunt. How much can she really influence Harold’s decision? Besides, I heard Samantha isn’t against Harold chasing after Isabella.”
