Chapter 146 Chapter 146 Luna pressed her lips together. It was clear Ethan had no intention of acknowledging their proposal. Even after she’d given such a pointed reminder, he remained completely unfazed. She’d assumed that by dropping that hint, Ethan would agree to their offer. But clearly, he intended to
Chapter 145 Chapter 145 Whether they’d be chosen or not depended not just on luck-real strength was essential. Otherwise, no one would even bother giving them a second look. Ethan raised a brow, then pulled out a chair for Autumn. After she sat down, he took the seat beside her.
Chapter 144 Chapter 144 At Royal Crest Lounge, the moment Autumn and Ethan stepped into the private room, the conversation inside came to an abrupt halt. Everyone turned to look, visibly stunned for a few seconds. Autumn swept her eyes across the room. Aside from her two brothers from the
Chapter 143 Chapter 143 She was nothing more than a pretty face with zero substance-arguing with someone like that was just lowering herself. When it came down to choosing between a business partner and a decorative placeholder, anyone with half a brain would pick the one who actually brought value.
Chapter 142 Chapter 142 With just one line, Luna immediately shifted the dynamic. Autumn was now the one in the wrong, and if she said anything else, she’d look petty and immature. Classic case of hiding behind power. Jasmine scoffed from the side. “Autumn, things are different now. Luna’s the
Chapter 141 Chapter 141 When Autumn had first joined the company, she’d gotten her fair share of cold stares. She figured Selena, as the new girl now, was probably getting the same treatment. Selena casually slung an arm around Autumn’s shoulder. “Come on, do you know who I am? There’s
Chapter 140 Chapter 140 Autumn couldn’t help but laugh. The Carters had gotten so used to pushing her around that even now, when the power dynamic had shifted, they were still clinging to their superiority. Sienna’s breathing grew heavy through the speaker, clearly furious. “Autumn, don’t get cocky just because
Chapter 139 Chapter 139 That slap in the face stung. After a long day at work, Autumn dragged her tired body home. The moment the elevator doors opened, she spotted an elegantly dressed woman standing at her door. Since the woman was right outside her apartment, Autumn gave her a
Chapter 138 Chapter 138 During lunch, Selena leaned over and asked Autumn, “Autumn, what was that thing you wanted me to join p> After being fooled by that scumbag for so long, coming home and feeling the warmth of her family again had lifted her spirits. She remembered Autumn mentioning
Chapter 137 Chapter 137 “Oh really p> Keith raised a brow, his smile not quite reaching his eyes as he looked at Julian. “You took it to court and still have the nerve to call it a joke? What do you think-that I’m the idiot, or you are? “If I
Chapter 136 Chapter 136 Maybe it was all the years of swallowing her pride, but in this moment, Autumn felt a wave of relief like never before. The divorce papers were in her hands. She finally didn’t have to pretend around Julian anymore. These past weeks, she had held her
Chapter 135 Chapter 135 There was a quick response from the other end. “Alright. I’ll have everything prepared in a few days and come by for your signature. Just sit tight and wait for my update p> After Ginny left, Autumn returned to the courtyard and sat quietly under the
Chapter 134 Chapter 134 The memorial was nearly over, but her two brothers still hadn’t shown up. Instead, Ginny arrived, being wheeled in from outside. As soon as Autumn saw her, she rushed over. “Grandma, what are you doing here p> Ginny sighed, held Autumn’s hand, and gently comforted her.
Chapter 133 Chapter 133 First Light Hospital Luna lay on a VIP hospital bed, eyes closed, her face pale and drained of all color. Thick gauze was wrapped around her forehead, making her look like a fragile porcelain doll. Hector sat nearby, worry etched across his face as he turned
Chapter 132 Chapter 132 Autumn couldn’t help glancing at the people around her. With her lips pressed tightly together, she stepped aside to answer the call. On the other end came Jason’s impatient voice. “Miss Lewis, I informed you yesterday-you were supposed to be at the courthouse at ten this
Chapter 131 Chapter 131 She called both of her brothers, but no one picked up. She tried several more times, but the result was the same. Lily walked over and glanced at the dimmed screen of Autumn’s phone. She sighed and asked, “Autumn, still can’t get through p> Autumn nodded,
Chapter 130 Chapter 130 Chapter 130 The phone on the table suddenly rang. Autumn glanced at the screen-it was a call from Jason. She slid her finger to answer, and his formal, businesslike voice came through the line. “Miss Lewis, we’ve confirmed the court hearing for tomorrow at ten a.m.
Chapter 129 Chapter 129 Chapter 129 Autumn let out a sigh and explained everything that had happened to Bowen. Bowen slammed his hand on the table in anger. “That bastard Derek-I told her from the beginning he was no good, but Selena wouldn’t listen. “She even cut ties with the
Chapter 128 Chapter 128 Chapter 128 Selena drank as she cursed, “That scumbag Derek-I went through so much with him, and in the end, I still couldn’t compete with one coy word from his precious first love. “Autumn, don’t you think all men are the same trash? Julian was like
Chapter 127 Chapter 127 Chapter 127 “What kind of pull does Autumn even have, to get into this place and still act like she’s above everyone else? “Doesn’t she worry that pulling something like this will make us speak badly of her in front of Julian p> Grant glanced at
