Grace stared at the photos and chat logs in disbelief, momentarily stunned.
Still, she forced herself to stay composed.
“Autumn, where did you get all this? You actually spied on someone’s private life? That’s illegal. You could go to jail for this p>
Her heart was in a full-blown panic, but her mouth remained sharp.
This wretched girl-how could she possibly have so much evidence?
She’d been caught completely off guard.
Autumn let out a cold, mocking laugh.
“Is that so? Then let me tell you, I’ve had this evidence for a long time. If you people hadn’t pushed me so far, I wouldn’t have brought it out.
“Surprised, Ms. Palmer? That I have so much proof of Julian’s affair?
“I copied it from his phone. Got it through perfectly legal means. If you’ve got a problem with that, take it up with your son p>
As she spoke, Autumn pulled Julian’s old phone from her bag.
“There’s plenty more in here-like the hotel bookings he made last year. Would you like to take a look?
“A married man who constantly used business dinners as an excuse not to come home, but was actually booking hotel rooms left and right-what do you think that means?
“It means your son was cheating. It started as far back as last year. Just because I kept quiet doesn’t mean I didn’t know p>
In truth, the records only included a few hotel stays.
Julian had been careful, deleting most of his tracks, but she still managed to find traces.
Back then, she had fallen into despair.
She cried so much her eyes were nearly swollen shut.
She couldn’t believe it until the evidence made it impossible to deny.
Once that seed of suspicion was planted, it only grew.
From that point on, Autumn became hypersensitive, constantly chasing shadows and picking fights over small things.
At first, Julian would brush it off with excuses.
But over time, he grew impatient until that frustration turned into open disgust.

None of that mattered anymore.
Their three-year marriage was about to come to an end.
Grace’s heart was pounding.
She instinctively reached out to snatch the phone from Autumn’s hand, but Autumn stepped aside swiftly, dodging her without effort.
“Autumn, you actually stole Julian’s phone? Do you want me to call him right now and have him throw you out p>
That wretched girl-she had completely blindsided her.
She’d seriously underestimated her.
Just thinking about how Autumn’s former gentleness and obedience had all been an act made her furious.
It was absolutely infuriating!
This woman had managed to keep up the act for years, fooling everyone around her.
She was more calculating than Grace had ever imagined.
Autumn shrugged, completely unfazed.
“Go ahead and call him. The divorce cooling-off period is almost over anyway. Whether it ends a few days early or late doesn’t make any difference p>
After everything Julian had done during her two hospital stays, any last shred of hope she had was already gone.
She no longer loved him, and she certainly had no expectations left.
From now on, they’d be nothing but strangers.
Grace’s face turned red with anger, veins standing out on her neck as she glared at Autumn like she could burn her alive with just a look.
If Autumn brought this evidence to court, her son’s future would be completely destroyed.
No, she could never let that happen.
With that thought, Grace changed tactics, putting on a softer expression and tugging gently at Autumn’s arm.
“Autumn, let’s talk this through calmly. We’re civilized people, aren’t we? There’s no need to escalate things like this p>
Autumn yanked her arm free without hesitation. “I wanted to talk things through, but did any of you actually listen?
“You attacked me first, then gave me a sugar-coated apology. Ms. Palmer, do you really think that still works on me p>
