After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 700

“Ethan…”

“Don’t say no. This isn’t a joke. Your pride doesn’t mean anything if your life is at risk. What matters more, your ego or your life? You always say you want to stay alive, right?”

“You told me marrying me would kill you, and only divorcing me would save you. If you care that much about living, then do as I say.”

“And relax. I’m not going to use this to guilt you into getting back together.”

“Sure, you’re making some money now, but it’s nothing big yet. The projects with Linda and Barbara are still in the investment stage. There’s no profit coming in.”

“If you hire bodyguards yourself, it’s going to put a lot of pressure on you financially.”

“You know how messed up people can be. You never really know who wants to hurt you. Better to be careful.”

“I just feel responsible. You only became a target for Dave’s people because of me. I have to make sure you’re safe. I can’t let them hurt you.”

Isabella stared at him for a while, then finally said, “How much do your bodyguards cost each month?”

“The ones I hire are really skilled, the best at what they do. I pay them tens of thousands every month, cover their food and housing, and give out bonuses.”

“But all your money’s tied up in investments. Can you really afford that many bodyguards? Ordinary security guards won’t help, not after what happened last night. They’re no match for guys like that. Those thugs are dangerous and know how to fight. They’re nothing like regular thieves. And this isn’t a one-time thing. It’ll take a lot of money over time.”

Isabella said quietly, “We’re already divorced. I don’t want to owe you anything else. Just send over two of your bodyguards. I’ll cover their salaries. I’ll also hire two security guards myself.”

“One bodyguard and one security guard on the day shift, and the same at night. That’s enough, right? I’ll pay Susan’s salary too. When my mom and the others are back, Susan can go home.”
