If she was going to do it, she might as well go all out-otherwise, what was the thrill?
Sure enough, Hector’s chest rose and fell violently as he almost blurted out, “Autumn, how dare you speak to me like this, I’m your p>
The word “brother” hadn’t yet left his mouth before Luna quickly cut him off, “Miss Lewis, I know you’re angry because of your misunderstanding toward us. I won’t blame you p>
She added, “But please don’t make this bigger than it already is. It won’t do you any good. After all, Vanguard and the Lewis Group are partners.
“If you offend the company’s business partner, have you thought about how Mr. Sharp might deal with you? Have you considered the consequences p>
What a joke-she would never let Hector admit in front of Julian that Autumn was his sister.
She had to maintain the image of being the Lewis family’s one and only heiress.
Otherwise, everything she’d worked for would be wasted.
Luckily, Autumn was useless and had nothing the Lewis family could boast about, or it really would have been
hard to hide. 1
Ryan was stunned again.
He lowered his voice and asked Grant, “Hey, what do you think Hector meant by those words he didn’t finish? Why did Luna stop him from saying it? Looks like Hector knows Autumn. Do you think there’s a chance Autumn is another heiress of the Lewis family p>
He’d heard that years ago, when the Lewis couple divorced, Hector’s mother took his younger sister with her.
And Autumn’s mother had also passed away, leaving her an orphan. They shared the same surname.
And judging from Hector’s heartbroken, accusatory tone toward Autumn, it all seemed practiced, not something said for the first time.
Could they really be siblings?
Grant glanced around at the crowd, then noticed Luna whispering something into Hector’s ear.
After listening, Hector had already sat back down.
Grant thought for a moment, then lowered his voice. “I don’t think it’s likely. Think about it, if Autumn really were their sister, given how much the Lewis family cares about appearances, how could they not have taken her back into the family home?
“More likely they were classmates before, and there’s some bad blood between them. That’s why they’re hostile when they meet p>
The Lewis family had always cared about their reputation. If Autumn really were their biological sister, they

would have brought her home right after her mother’s death.
All the more so, with Autumn’s love of the spotlight-if she really were the Lewis family’s heiress, wouldn’t she be flaunting that connection and showing off in front of Julian?
So, after thinking it through, there was only one possibility: they were probably classmates with some past grudge, and whenever they met, it was like facing an enemy, both finding fault with each other.
Ryan, after hearing this, felt Grant’s reasoning made sense and didn’t press the topic further.
Of course, Autumn caught the threatening undertone in Luna’s words, but how could she possibly be afraid?
Her lips curled coldly as she said, “My affairs don’t need Miss Lewis’s concern. You’d better think about how you’re going to explain yourself when the police arrive.
“Oh, and by the way, you and Julian haven’t gotten your marriage license yet, have you? Is it because you can’t? Or is there some hidden reason?
“I heard Julian’s already secretly married to someone else, that’s why he can’t register with you. Do you think I’m right p>
She knew that even if the police came, they’d only give Jasmine a warning. But that was exactly the effect she wanted.
