Chapter 276

Author: Lilian Green
As Sienna was dragged away, she screamed through her tears, “Let me go! Don’t take me! Mom, Brother, please save me!

“I’m begging you, ask Autumn to drop the charges! I don’t want to go to prison!”

Watching her daughter being taken away, Grace sobbed uncontrollably and shouted in fury, “Autumn, you vicious woman! How dare you send Sienna to prison? You’re heartless!

“She’s only twenty—her life is just beginning, and you want to ruin it? You cruel, wicked woman, I’ll fight you to the end!”

Her daughter had never suffered in her life. If she entered prison, how could she possibly survive?

The thought drove Grace to despair. She lunged toward Autumn.

But before she could reach her, someone caught her and dragged her back to the defendant’s bench by force.

The judge’s voice rang out, stern and cold. “Order in the court! One more outburst, and you will be arrested for contempt.”

The word “arrested” silenced Grace at once. She sank back down, wiping her tears.

Luna came over to console her.

    Alex thought that Julian had ignored his wife for so many years. This time, though it was for Sienna’s sake, he was at least offering Autumn a way out. Surely Autumn would take it.After all, this was the first time in all these years Julain took the initiative to give Autumn something, and not just anything, but company shares.Everyone knew the value of Carter Group rose by double digits every year, its future potential immeasurable.If Autumn held shares, she would practically have a cash machine in her hands, money flowing in endlessly.Ten percent of the shares was a dream many people couldn’t even hope to reach. He didn’t believe Autumn would refuse.Yet Autumn only let out a soft laugh, then said word by word, "Tell Julian I won’t drop the lawsuit, and I won’t settle. He should give up on that idea."After hanging up, Autumn and Selena went to see her uncle. The moment he saw them, he hurried over to take the things from their hands.Henry muttered as he received them, "You sho

    "Now that his sister was about to face trouble, he suddenly thought of you, his ex-wife. That really put him in a difficult spot."Back when Julian insisted on sending Autumn a lawyer’s letter, he never would have imagined such a reversal.As for the recent court hearing, she had heard bits and pieces. Word was, since the case couldn’t be won, Sienna’s lawyer had simply walked out halfway through.Just thinking of that scene, and the Lewis family’s humiliated faces, made her feel exhilarated.What a pity she hadn’t been there in person to watch—had she known it would be that spectacular, she would have taken leave just to enjoy the show.Autumn glanced at the phone that had hung up on its own. "Doesn’t matter. Julian, just to help Sienna, was even willing to offer me ten percent of Carter Group’s shares."It was clear now—through all these years, Julian had never truly treated her as family. After all, what kind of family only knew how to take, without ever giving?In truth, Julian was

    Bad luck always seemed to fall on those who could least afford it, like a frayed rope snapping at its weakest point.The thought brought tears streaming down Autumn’s cheeks. She turned to Keith as if clinging to her last hope. “Senior, I know you have connections. Please, help my uncle. If you promise to help, I’ll do anything you ask. His family has suffered enough—you have to help them.”Meeting her tear-filled gaze, Keith pulled a tissue and gently wiped her face. Then he pushed the bowl of oatmeal back into her hands. “You don’t need to worry about your uncle. Even if you hadn’t asked, I would’ve arranged specialists to see him.“Now finish your oatmeal. You just broke a fever—has it fried your brain already? You’re not thinking straight.”His uncle’s life-saving grace was reason enough for him to step in. And with his close friendship with Zack, walking away was never an option.Keith knew she was speaking out of worry, but since she had said it, he would hold her to it. There

    Keith gave a small nod. “Thank you, Dr. Mills. I’m sorry for troubling you so late at night.”After seeing Peter off, he returned to the ward. Autumn was sleeping fitfully, her brows furrowed, her forehead damp with cold sweat.He picked up a tissue to gently wipe her skin, then sat by her bedside, watching her fragile face.Her fever had broken, and her complexion was calmer now. Still, fresh from the fever, her small face looked pale and sickly.Autumn drifted in and out of sleep until eight the next morning, her fever rising and falling through the night.Keith hadn’t slept at all—he’d spent the hours checking her temperature, cooling her forehead with compresses.When she finally opened her eyes, he touched her forehead again. At last, no fever.Her voice was hoarse. “Senior, you stayed here all night?”“Mm.” He poured her a cup of warm water and handed it to her.Still weak from the fever, she struggled upright, took the cup, and drank slowly.Just then, Jesse came in carrying two

    Autumn forced herself up despite the pounding in her head and called toward the door, “Don’t call the staff, I can open it myself.”She slipped on her slippers haphazardly and hurried over. The moment she opened the door, Keith’s tall figure stepped right inside.“Why are the lights off?” He reached out and flicked on the wall lamp.Her small face was flushed crimson. Keith touched her forehead.It was burning hot.His brows drew together in displeasure. “Autumn, you’re running a fever. Don’t you even realize it? Is this how you take care of yourself?”Instinctively, she raised a hand to her forehead. Her body had grown weaker and weaker—falling sick at the slightest trigger. No wonder she’d felt off all afternoon and collapsed onto the sofa as soon as she got home.Without another word, Keith scooped her into his arms. “I’m taking you to the hospital.”Losing balance suddenly, Autumn clutched at his neck in fear of falling.“I don’t need to trouble you like that,” she murmured weakl

    “But I walked away without a cent, left with nothing—do you know why? To cut ties with your family once and for all.“You think I’d be interested in shares from your company? What if you hand me an empty shell? I’m not falling for your tricks.”The offer was tempting, but she would never compromise. Those were things she had already chosen to give up, so they held no appeal for her now.She didn’t want anything from the Carter family.A divorce should be clean. To keep tangling over assets would only leave a lingering mess. If not for their excessive schemes this time, she wouldn’t have wasted so much effort dealing with them at all.Julian pressed his lips together before saying, “Ten percent. No more. Autumn, don’t be too greedy.“You worked as finance director at Carter Group, so you know the scale of its revenue. With that kind of money, you could live comfortably for the rest of your life.“Think carefully. Dropping the case is simple enough for you. Give me an answer tomorrow.”
