Chapter 206
Autumn followed the police to the station with Jasmine, where they both sat down for questioning.
Jasmine, no longer arrogant, sat quietly, answering each question without protest, nothing like the swagger she had shown earlier.
Autumn hadn’t expected Jasmine to be so calm, and she wondered what Luna might have told her beforehand.
She then took out her phone and showed Jack the recorded evidence before giving her statement. Everything went surprisingly smoothly.
Jack gave Jasmine a stern lecture and warned her that if she made the same mistake again, she would be detained immediately.
Because of Jasmine’s good attitude, she wasn’t detained.
Instead, the police phoned her family to pick her up, and she would be released once they arrived.
While waiting, Jasmine leaned toward Autumn with a smug look. “Autumn, you miscalculated this time. I wasn’t detained. Are you disappointed p>
Autumn only curled her lips into a calm smile. “Jasmine, my goal has already been achieved. You’re just too foolish to realize it p>
With that, she picked up her bag and walked out of the station. By now, it was already 10:30, and she wasn’t sure if she could get a cab.
Just as she pulled out her phone to book a ride, she spotted Keith’s car parked at the entrance.
He had actually come to pick her up, which surprised her. Clearly, he was determined to see things through.
Keith really was a good man.
She froze for half a second, quickly put away her phone, and jogged over. Opening the passenger door, she slipped inside.
As she fastened her seatbelt, Autumn turned to thank him. “Senior, thank you so much for today. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to get this off my chest p>
Luna had been relying on the family’s favoritism to look down on her more and more. Today had served as a lesson for her.
Whether Simon believed Luna’s lies or not, at least it was a warning, and that was enough.
After all, games were more thrilling when played slowly. If she crushed Luna all at once, it would be letting her off too easily.
She wanted Luna to watch helplessly as everything she had stolen slipped away piece by piece, leaving her powerless.
She wanted both mother and daughter to taste the agony of losing everything and then being abandoned.
And as for Jasmine-tonight had been a well-deserved lesson.
Next time Jasmine went in, it wouldn’t just be a formality-it would mean a sentence.
No matter how long it took or how difficult the road was, Autumn was determined to pursue it to the very end.
Even though her uncle was gone, she would clear his name.
And when that time came, she wanted Jasmine on her knees at her uncle’s grave, begging for forgiveness, and rotting away in
prison.
Keith wore only a black shirt, sleeves rolled high to reveal his strong forearms.
One hand rested on the steering wheel, while the yellow glow of the streetlights poured over his profile, casting a golden halo

across his features.
He turned his head toward Autumn, the sharpness in his eyes softening into warmth. “How do you plan to thank me p>
Her hand froze on the seatbelt buckle as she lifted her gaze to him. Their eyes met.
Her mind went blank as she stared at him in confusion, a flicker of guilt flashing in her eyes.
How to thank him?
It was something she had never considered, but she couldn’t admit that.
Otherwise it would seem ungrateful.
As if sensing her hesitation, Keith gave a light cough and reminded her, “I have tomorrow off p>
