Autumn pulled out her phone and played a recording.
It was Grace’s voice, clearly promising the money.
“Autumn, as long as you find a way to get Julian to sign the divorce papers, I’ll immediately transfer six million to you as compensation p>
The moment Grace heard the recording, she instinctively lunged for Autumn’s phone.
But Autumn quickly pulled it back, giving her no chance to snatch it.
With a mocking curve of her lips, Autumn said, “Ms. Palmer, I only wanted to leave quietly, but since you’ve been pushing so hard, don’t blame me for fighting back p>
Her illness had already drained most of her strength.
She had no energy left to go head-to-head with them.
But since they kept pressing and were even coming after her rights, there was no way she’d just sit and take it.
She shoved the stack of documents on the table toward Grace.
“These are our chat records over the years, transfer receipts, and proof of the gifts I bought.
“Even though the total amount I spent doesn’t come close to six million, it’s enough to prove I didn’t marry into your family for money.
“Ms. Palmer, if you’re trying to use this to slander me, it’s not going to stick. You’ll have to come up with something else p>
She had clearly anticipated what Grace was planning and blocked every escape route.
After all these years, Autumn knew her mother-in-law well.
She had clearly taken the old saying-‘Know your enemy, and you’ll win every time’-to heart.
Grace looked at the documents in panic. “What do you want from me p>
Autumn smiled. “Isn’t it obvious? Tit for tat. However you treat me, I’ll return it in kind.
“If you want to play, then let’s go all in. Let your future daughter-in-law hear what kind of mother-in-law you’ve been to Julian’s ex-wife p>
She had nothing left to lose, nothing to fear.
If it came to mutual destruction, so be it.
She wasn’t backing down.
She wasn’t afraid of going to court.

Chapter 61
What, did the Carter family really think they were above the law?
But the Carters had a lot more to lose-like Luna, for example.
They had hidden Autumn’s existence from her all along, pretending Julian was still single.
If the truth came out, they’d see who would really be humiliated.
Grace’s heart pounded with fear.
If Autumn really went to Luna, all the lies they had carefully built would fall apart instantly.
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became.
Autumn then pulled another stack from her bag-photos and printed chat logs—and tossed them in front of Grace again.
“These are the proofs of Julian’s affair. Tell me, if I make this public, and it’s shown that he cheated first, wouldn’t I be entitled to half of his assets?
“Ms. Palmer, think carefully. What’s worth more-six million, or half of the Carter estate p>
The Carter Group was easily worth billions.
If she filed for divorce with proof of infidelity, she could take half.
Compared to that, six million was nothing.
The photos were taken by a private investigator she’d hired back then.
As for the chat logs, they came from Julian’s old phone that had been damaged and tossed into the trash.
She’d suspected he was cheating at the time, so she secretly took the phone to be repaired and copied its
contents.
She had left it untouched afterward, never expecting it to come in handy now.
Back then, part of her had still held out hope for Julian, hoping he might come back to her.
But now?
She just wanted to use these as leverage against Grace.
Who knew-she might even be able to squeeze more money out of her.
