Hector turned his head toward the hospital room door and saw Autumn standing there, that familiar sneer on her pale face.
The sight made his blood boil.
He stormed over and shouted, “Autumn, tell me where I’m wrong! You just can’t stand how much we care about Luna, so you’re doing all this for attention, aren’t you?
“Isn’t it pathetic-trying to get our attention like this p>
His face still stung from the two slaps she’d given him at the flower shop yesterday.
The longer he thought about it after going home, the angrier he became.
Even after icing his face for a long time last night, the faint marks were still there.
It was humiliating.
And now, seeing the person who caused it all, standing here mocking them in front of their older brother-it made his fury surge all over again.
Autumn’s lips curled faintly.
Her already pale face seemed even more bloodless now. “You really do think too highly of yourselves, don’t you? Like the world revolves around you.
“If I really wanted to go after you, do you think I’d stop at something so mild?
“Use your moldy brains for once. You’re the ones messing up, yet you’re trying to pin it on me? I don’t need that garbage p>
The Lewis family always had this habit-whenever something went wrong, they looked for someone else to
blame.
Never once did they reflect on their own faults.
That was the kind of people they were. Shameless.
Sometimes, she felt like Luna and the rest of them were the real family.
They shared the same character, after all.
Right then, Simon stepped forward, speaking in that condescending tone of his.
“Autumn, how long are you going to keep making a scene? We haven’t even held you accountable for slapping Hector yesterday.
“And now here you are, full of sarcasm again. Do you even understand what the word manners means p>
As the head of the company, his schedule was packed-he didn’t have time for family drama.

He didn’t even know when Autumn had started becoming so aggressive.
He only remembered that as a child, she’d been sweet and obedient.
He used to be so fond of her.
But somewhere along the way, she became a compulsive liar, combative and extreme.
Say a few words to her, and she’d explode, attacking everyone in sight.
He just couldn’t bring himself to care about a sister like that anymore.
“Manners?” Autumn let out a cold laugh. “And you’re the ones lecturing me about that? Don’t you think that’s hilarious p>
“Oh, your lovely stepmom sure has manners-driving my mother away and using her illegitimate daughter to climb to the top.
“And your sweet little sister Luna? She’s the picture of class too-wrecking someone else’s marriage just to throw herself into the role of mistress p>
Those two were devils, plain and simple.
Sure, no affair happens without the man’s fault, but if those women had even a shred of decency, there wouldn’t have been an affair to begin with.
At the end of the day, when one had got no shame, anything could become possible.
“Sister… how could you say something like that p>
A soft, trembling voice came from behind her, laced with a hint of choked-up sadness.
Autumn turned and saw Luna standing there, eyes rimmed with red, lip trembling like she was moments from
tears.
Her injured foot was wrapped in gauze, making her look especially frail and delicate.
Susan stood beside her, supporting her arm as she swayed unsteadily.
Her eyes turned red as well.
“Autumn,” Susan said, voice thick with emotion, “I know you’ve got a lot against us, but you can’t just accuse
us like this.
“Luna was in a proper relationship. How did that turn into being called a mistress by you p>
Autumn let out a faint scoff.
Mother and daughter playing the mistress card like it was a badge of honor.
God, the shamelessness was next level.
