Chapter 185

Author: Lilian Green
They hadn’t held much hope for this dinner from the start.

After all, the Sinclair Group’s doors weren’t ones just anyone could walk through.

The family practically controlled half of Northhaven’s economy and was wealthy enough to rival nations.

The heir showing up was already a surprise, and before coming they’d spent a long time planning, settling on what they thought was the perfect proposal.

What they hadn’t planned for was Autumn showing up, looking far too close to Keith for comfort.

The sight sparked an uneasy feeling in his gut.

Keith gave a slight nod in acknowledgment, first pulling out a chair for Autumn before sitting beside her.

He ladled a bowl of soup and set it in front of her. “Have some soup to start.”

Autumn picked up a spoon and quietly began sipping.

Watching Keith’s thoughtfulness toward her, Jasmine’s jaw clenched so tight she thought her teeth might crack.

This was supposed to be her chance to meet him.

Why should Autumn get to swoop in first?

She was just a d

    Luna’s meaning couldn’t have been more obvious.She was accusing Autumn of using the situation for petty revenge and of being the type to hold grudges.If her brothers hadn’t been there, she wouldn’t have spared Autumn a second thought, let alone argued with her.What she hadn’t expected was to see a man as aloof and distinguished as Keith actually peeling shrimp for Autumn.She’d been with Julian for years, and he had never once peeled shrimp for her.It had always been the other way around.Not that she claimed to care about such details.Autumn popped a shrimp into her mouth. Mm, it was actually pretty good—big and meaty.She had to admit, Keith’s eye for picking shrimp and his skill at peeling them were impressive.Keith handed her a napkin, and Autumn dabbed at her lips before turning to Luna. “Then why don’t you tell me, Miss Lewis—what exactly is the misunderstanding between us?”She had no intention of letting Luna off the hook this time. Every bit of trouble she’d faced lat

    What was Autumn trying to do—destroy them all before she’d be satisfied?The more Hector thought about it, the angrier he became. He was about to stand and confront her when Simon caught his arm.“Don’t be impulsive. Right now she’s got the Sinclair heir backing her. If you go at her recklessly, we’ll all pay for it.“There will be plenty of chances to deal with her. No need to rush it now—crossing Keith Sinclair is no small matter.”Hector’s face flushed red with fury, but he could only sit there and stew. Autumn had gone too far this time, daring to stab them in the back like this.They weren’t going to let her off easily. So, what if she was their sister? Anyone who sided with an outsider to betray her own family didn’t deserve forgiveness.Luna chose her words carefully. “Mr. Sinclair, could there be some misunderstanding here? We truly didn’t know about Grandma’s illness.“Technically, this is a Lewis family matter. I’m just wondering—how did you come to know about it?“Could i

    That was when Luna finally spoke. “Mr. Sinclair, you shouldn’t believe every bit of gossip you hear. After all, business partnerships are about capability, aren’t they?”That “gossip” was clearly aimed at Autumn. In Luna’s mind, Autumn loved nothing more than spreading negativity about them.It didn’t affect her position, her own ability spoke for itself, but it was still a petty, underhanded move.Going quiet and then slipping in a jab in front of others? Classic backstabber behavior.Then again, it wasn’t surprising. Autumn didn’t have much else to work with, so she tried to tear others down instead.A knife in the back was pathetic.Keith’s fingers paused mid-tap on the table. He lifted his gaze to Luna, his expression deceptively calm, but the weight of authority behind it was unmistakable.“Miss Lewis, are you questioning my judgment?”Under the pressure of his stare and the weight of his question, Luna froze for a moment.But she quickly regained her composure. “Mr. Sinclair

    No matter how Autumn had managed it, one thing was certain—she’d caught Julian’s attention.And that was what baffled Ryan the most. If Julian had stopped liking Autumn long ago, why refuse to divorce her?Autumn had always been a troublemaker, constantly stirring something up one way or another, the kind of woman people found endlessly exhausting.Grant lowered his voice too. “We don’t know what trick Autumn used, but it looks like it worked. From the moment she walked in, Julian’s been watching her.“She’s doing whatever it takes to get his attention, and honestly, it’s disgusting.”In their eyes, Autumn was nothing more than a shameless hanger-on. She had pulled stunts before—checking his calls, monitoring his whereabouts—but ever since she started using tracking to keep tabs on him, it was like she’d gotten addicted.Now she was even bringing other men to provoke him. The manipulation was shameless.What she didn’t realize was that the more a woman played these games, the furthe

    She kept telling herself not to get angry.Anger would only make her condition worse and serve no purpose at all.Keith slipped an arm around her shoulder, straightening her so she faced him, then asked, “Want to go over there and vent some of that anger?”Autumn looked up at him. “Do you have a way?”She had wanted to do that for a long time.Ever since her mother’s death anniversary, she’d been looking for an opportunity.Not finding one didn’t mean she approved of what they’d done or had let go of their wrongs.Keith’s dark eyes held hers. “Take my arm, and I’ll bring you in. Do whatever you want, I’ll back you up. How about it?”Today, Simon had arranged this dinner through Jesse. Keith hadn’t planned to go at first, but after thinking it over, he told Jesse to accept.Autumn hesitated. She knew that with him there, things would be much easier.No matter how far she pushed it, those people would just have to endure it—they wouldn’t dare cross Keith.But was it really the right thi
