Ginny looked at her with gentle affection. “Autumn, if you’re busy with work, then go. Don’t worry about me, there’s still Irene here to take care of me p>
Watching her granddaughter bustling around, her heart felt heavy, but it reassured her that leaving all her assets to Autumn had been the right decision.
Autumn stared at her in surprise. “Grandina, you heard all that p>
She didn’t know how much her grandmother had overheard, and a flicker of unease rose in her, leaving her standing there like a child caught doing something wrong.
Ginny nodded. “Yes. This is just an old ailment of mine. You can’t let it hold up your work p>
At that moment, Irene came over and said to Autumn, “Miss, the old lady knows you’re devoted. I’m here to look after her, so you should get back to work p>
Autumn’s eyes stung as she nodded.
“Alright, Irene. If anything happens with Grandma, call me right away p>
Leaving the hospital, Autumn went home and wrote down an idea that had suddenly come to her earlier, then called Ethan back.
“Ethan, I’ll go with you to Seaview City on Monday p>
His reply came quickly. “Good. Autumn, do you have someone to take care of your grandmother p>
In his memory, Autumn was an exceptional talent in the workplace.
But in life, she was softhearted.
No matter how others wronged her, she always chose to forgive.
That was why Julian had been able to take advantage of her, committing infidelity during their marriage and trying to cover it up.
To put it bluntly, it was a bad habit born of being loved and spoiled, leading to a sense of invincibility.
Autumn scrolled her mouse and sent Ethan the idea she had just finished writing. “Yes. Oh, and I suddenly thought of something today–I’ve written it down and emailed it to you p>
After hanging up, she continued typing at her computer.
Not long after, Ethan’s message came through:
‘Autumn, this idea of yours is fantastic. It fills the gaps we had before-exactly what I’d expect from you p>
Autumn replied with a thank-you sticker, then set her phone down and went back to her work.
She wrote for more than two hours straight, only stopping when the sky outside began to darken.
Rubbing her sore neck, she stood to pour herself a glass of water.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Taking a sip, she walked over and opened it.
Standing there was a tall, slender figure-Keith, still dressed in a white suit.
Black suits had always seemed to be his trademark.
Autumn quickly smiled in greeting. “Senior… what brings you here p>

His tall frame cast a shadow over her slight figure, making her seem almost fragile in comparison.
His deep eyes locked on hers. “Were you planning to give up the expo invitation for your grandmother’s sake p>
Nothing ever seemed to get past him.
Feeling guilty, Autumn lowered her gaze, hardly daring to breathe.
Keith’s eyes darkened, his tone turning firm. “Autumn, you already wasted three years on a marriage. Are you sure you want to give up another great opportunity for the sake of so-called family ties?
“Do you think opportunities are so plentiful that you can just throw them away p>
His words made her bow her head even further.
They were blunt, even harsh, but he was right.
She had already sacrificed too much for the sake of “family p>
She couldn’t afford to be bound by it again.
