Chapter 21

Author: Lilian Green
Autumn pulled a pill bottle from her bag, took out a tablet, and swallowed it dry.

The bitterness spread in her mouth.

Her brows furrowed as she forced it down, then spoke into her phone, "No need, I’m fine. I’ll be out in a bit."

"Alright, I’m waiting on the left side of the entrance."

"Okay."

After hanging up, her stomach still ached.

She steadied herself against the wall and slowly stood up.

This episode felt fiercer than the previous ones.

Her whole body felt drained.

Clutching her stomach, she rinsed her mouth at the sink and walked out of the restroom, but the pain didn’t ease.

Instead, it worsened with every movement.

It felt like thousands of ants were gnawing away inside her, the pain crawling through her limbs and bones.

She bit down on her lip, her face pale and colorless.

The pain made her steps unsteady, and she had to support herself against the wall to keep going.

"Autumn, what’s wrong?"

Someone came toward her and caught her just before she collapsed.

    Before Autumn could speak, Jasmine abruptly stood up. “I was the one who called the police.”Every pair of eyes turned to her at once. The sudden twist left everyone stunned.It was completely unexpected.Autumn looked at her with amusement. What now? Another desperate struggle? She wasn’t about to take it seriously. Let her flail for a while.The two officers exchanged a glance, a hint of hesitation passing between them. The older one stepped forward and asked, “Miss, what’s your name? And why did you call the police?”Jasmine froze for several seconds before stammering, “My surname is Far. The reason I called the police is because of Autumn. She’s been slandering me without any evidence.“She claims I wronged her uncle, but I was only fourteen at the time. How could I have done all that?“Autumn keeps provoking me again and again without proof. You need to arrest her right now.”Grasping at straws, she dragged that old matter into it. After all, she hadn’t fabricated the police call

    “From the moment you skipped Mom’s three-year memorial a few days ago because of Luna, I was completely done with you.“You went off traveling while Grandma was hospitalized. Mr. Sinclair even reminded you, and what did you do?”Her lips curled with sharper frost. “Luna said a few words and suddenly you doubted whether Grandma was even sick, as if we were lying to you.“But I remember Irene clearly called Hector, so why did he act like he knew nothing? Shouldn’t you be asking your precious sister what really happened?“And on Mom’s anniversary that day—why did Luna suddenly take a fall? Not earlier, not later, but right at that moment. “Think about it carefully with that squeezed little brain of yours. What was her intention?”With that, Autumn turned and pulled Keith away. She’d said enough—if they still couldn’t figure it out, then they were truly beyond saving.Keith glanced down at the hand she was holding. The corner of his mouth tugged upward in the faintest smile.When they re

    Pressed against the wall, Autumn tilted her head up toward the ceiling, blinking quickly to force back the tears.After a few seconds of silence, she said, “Fine, let’s not talk about the past. Let’s talk about now. You clearly lost because you weren’t good enough, yet you insist on blaming me. Don’t you think that’s ridiculous?“Or is it that you’ve been shifting blame since childhood, so used to calling me the bad one that whatever I do is automatically wrong?”Simon pressed his lips together. He had to admit, Autumn guessed right, but he would never admit it out loud.He snapped coldly, “Do you know how many people want a meeting with Mr. Sinclair and can’t even get one?“We finally managed to arrange it, and you went and ruined everything. Now we can’t secure the deal. Are you happy?“I used to think you were just spoiled by Mom. But now it’s clear—you’ve completely gone astray. You don’t even know friend from foe anymore.”He knew their mother had doted on this sister, and once u

    And he had promised to take care of her for life.Because of her family’s indifference, Autumn longed for warmth, for a home. She didn’t even think twice before saying yes.But a lifetime was too long. Julian eventually couldn’t resist the temptations outside—he cheated on her with her stepsister.Seeing Autumn’s eyes rimmed red, Simon felt a sudden stab in his chest, as if something flashed across his mind.He reached out, wanting to comfort her, but Autumn easily avoided his touch. Guilt that arrived late was worthless.Besides, they weren’t truly guilty—just putting on an act in the moment. Once they left here, they’d go back to being Luna’s lapdogs.She had no use for them anymore.When Simon saw her step back, irritation replaced the flicker of remorse, and the guilt vanished.With a cold snort, he retorted, “Back then, we asked you to return with us to the Lewis family, but you refused. Who’s to blame for that?“You blame us for favoring Luna and neglecting you, but have you eve

    Autumn had long known that because of Luna and her mother’s instigation, both of her brothers disliked her.They even hated her.Back then, she still tried to please them, but the result was always the same: the more she said, the more mistakes they found; the more she did, the more faults they picked out.It seemed that no matter what she said or did, in their eyes, it was always wrong.Once she understood this, she stopped being polite with them, and their sibling relationship only grew more strained.Simon dragged her into a corner and shouted angrily, “Autumn, what on earth are you trying to do? Why do you always jump in to sabotage our negotiations?“Do you feel proud only when you see us embarrassed? Don’t forget, you’re a Lewis too.“If we lose our reputation, you won’t look any better. When the family’s projects fail, what benefit do you get out of it?”In the private room, Autumn had stolen all the attention, but at the expense of their dignity—how could he not be furious?His

    Through the door Autumn heard Jasmine’s choked voice. “Mom, I just started working in Northhaven, I really don’t have money right now. Let me send something back after I get paid, okay?”“What? You want to buy my brother a car? Mom, he’s still a kid—what does he need a car for? And where am I supposed to get that kind of money?”“I’m your daughter too. You can’t favor him so much, draining me dry just to feed him. It’s not fair!”Listening to Jasmine’s hysterical sobs, Autumn felt a wave of gratitude for having had a good mother, growing up under her love and protection.She didn’t find Jasmine pitiful. After all, the pitiful often had something hateful about them. Being pitied was no excuse for her to stab others whenever she pleased.It was Jasmine’s parents who owed her, not Autumn. Autumn had no intention of indulging her bad habits.When Jasmine finally composed herself and stepped out, she froze at the sight of Autumn by the door.She stared for several seconds. Why was Autumn s
