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, her gaze falling on the framed photo of her mother on the table.
A deep sense of sorrow welled up in her. “If Mom knew they didn’t show up on such an important day, how heartbroken would she be p>
To be honest, she had long stopped caring. She was used to being neglected and overlooked by them.
But her mother was different. They were her biological sons. How could they be so heartless?
Lily pressed her lips together, her eyes welling with tears.
She tried to comfort her. “Maybe they’re just too busy right now. Try calling them again later p>
Even though she knew those were just words to make her feel better, Autumn still felt somewhat comforted.
If her brothers really didn’t show up today, then their sibling bond would end here.
She had endured enough for the sake of her mother. This was the last chance she was giving them.
Henry and Zack brought out the offerings and arranged them one by one. This year, they decided to hold the memorial at the old house instead of going to the cemetery.
Zack, clearly upset, said, “Autumn, what’s so great about your brothers? You shouldn’t bother with them
anymore.
“They don’t even come for your mom’s memorial every year. They treat you worse than a stranger. What good are they p>
He really couldn’t stand the Lewis brothers. They couldn’t tell right from wrong, blinded by bias, treating their real sister like an enemy while pampering that stepsister like a princess.
It made no sense. They were both sisters-why was the treatment so drastically different?
Henry nodded in agreement. “Zack’s right. I’ve heard about how your brothers blindly believed that stepsister. You’ve always treated them well, yet they treat you like this. One day, they’ll regret it p>
Autumn lowered her gaze and said firmly, “If they don’t show up this time, I’ll cut ties with them. I won’t have anything to do with them ever again p>
Zack nodded approvingly. “That’s the right thing to do. We’ll always have your back. Brothers like them? Nobody would want them, even if they were given away p>
Seeing how much her third uncle’s family cared about her, the heaviness in Autumn’s heart finally eased a little.
She often wondered-if only her real family were like her third uncle’s family, how wonderful would that be?

But sadly, there was no such thing as ‘if p>
At ten o’clock, Ethan arrived, holding a bouquet of white lilies.
He greeted them with a nod.
“Autumn, Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Lewis, I’m not late, am I p>
Autumn walked over and took the flowers from Ethan’s hands. “Not at all. You’re right on time p>
Selena came in right after him.
Perhaps her family had given her a lot of comfort-she looked much more composed than before.
From the outside, there was no sign she had just gone through a breakup.
She glanced around, then gently patted Autumn’s shoulder and sighed, offering comfort. “Autumn, don’t be too upset. You still have us.
She knew Simon and Hector hadn’t shown up, and Autumn was definitely hurting.
But they’re grown adults-if they didn’t want to show up, no one could force them.
Just then, Autumn’s phone rang. She glanced at the screen, and her face instantly went pale.
