Chapter 162
Sienna struggled to yank her hand free. “Autumn, let go! You’re insane p>
Autumn’s eyes swept over her, sharp as a blade. “Oh? So, you hit someone and think you’re in the right? You
dish it out but can’t take it?
“If I were you, I’d be holed up at home right now, finding the best lawyer I could to see if you even have a chance of winning this case.
“Not parading around like nothing happened and definitely not taunting your plaintiff every chance you get.
Then Autumn leaned in, her voice dropping to an icy whisper. “You want me to drop the lawsuit, yet you keep mocking me over and over. The nerve.
“If you’re such a cheerleader for mistresses, then I hope one day your own husband leaves you for one. You’re welcome p>
As Sienna clenched her teeth and fought harder to break free, Autumn suddenly let go.
Sienna gave a sharp cry and landed hard on her backside.
The fall jolted through her spine, and her head clipped the edge of the table.
The pain left her momentarily speechless. Autumn had timed it perfectly–letting go just as she pulled back.
How infuriating.
The door swung open, and Julian stepped inside just in time to see Sienna on the floor.
From his angle, it looked exactly like Autumn had shoved her.
His brow creased almost imperceptibly.
Spotting her brother, Sienna burst into tears and flung herself into his arms like she’d just been rescued.
Pointing at Autumn, she cried, “Julian, you’re just in time! She pushed me–I’m hurt! Call the police and have her arrested p>
That wretched woman had dared to humiliate her, leaving her sprawled on the floor in disgrace.
And on top of that, she’d sued her. The fury bubbled higher.
Julian walked over unhurriedly, helped Sienna to her feet, and fixed Autumn with a dark, unreadable stare.
“Autumn, don’t you think you should give me an explanation p>
Luna, seeing Julian walk in, hurried over and slipped her arm through his, her posture radiating the smug possessiveness of someone staking her claim.
In the past, no matter how over the line Julian and Luna were, they never flaunted it in front of her.
Now they didn’t even bother to hide it–standing right there, putting their affection on display.

Autumn’s lips curved in a half–smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “Explain what? Didn’t you see it all yourself, Mr. Carter? Or should I give you a live reenactment p>
Since the masks were already off, she had nothing to hold back.
Whatever she said or did, he wouldn’t believe her anyway.
So why waste her breath explaining to people like them?
With that, she stepped forward toward Sienna, who instantly shrank back into Julian’s arms.
Her voice trembled. “Julian, help me p>
But almost as soon as she said it, she realized how pathetic it sounded.
Sniffling, she added, “Julian, look at her. She’s so arrogant. I don’t even know where she gets the nerve. You have to put her in her place p>
Autumn had deliberately startled her just to humiliate her in public.
As hot–tempered as she was, Sienna wanted nothing more than to tear her apart.
Wasn’t Autumn supposed to be all alone in this world? Then where did she get the confidence to act like this?
Selena let out a cold snort, cutting through Sienna’s lies without mercy. “You were the one who tried to hit me. Autumn only grabbed you to protect me.
“You pulled too hard yourself–that’s why you fell. You’re just playing the victim, and you’re good at it p>
