Semua Bab Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO: Bab 131 - Bab 140

Autumn couldn’t help glancing at the people around her. With her lips pressed tightly together, she stepped aside to answer the call.On the other end came Jason’s impatient voice. “Miss Lewis, I informed you yesterday—you were supposed to be at the courthouse at ten this morning.“It’s already half-past. Where are you? Don’t tell me you’re trying to dodge it because you’re scared to face it?”Autumn stood frozen for a few seconds, then ended the call. Julian really went through with it. He actually filed a lawsuit against her on the day of her mother’s memorial.All those years of love—turned out to be completely misplaced. All she felt now was overwhelming sorrow.A moment later, Jason called again. Autumn didn’t answer. She declined it without hesitation.At some point, Keith had come up behind her, his deep, steady voice carrying a quiet strength. “Don’t worry about that. I’ve already taken care of it.”Autumn turned around, her tear-filled eyes meeting the unfathomable darkne

The memorial was nearly over, but her two brothers still hadn’t shown up. Instead, Ginny arrived, being wheeled in from outside.As soon as Autumn saw her, she rushed over. “Grandma, what are you doing here?”Ginny sighed, held Autumn’s hand, and gently comforted her. “Autumn, I know this has been hard on you. Luna got injured early this morning, and your brothers went to take care of her.”Autumn lowered her eyes. As expected, in their hearts, nothing ever seemed to matter more than that mother and daughter.She wheeled Ginny out into the yard and said, “It’s okay, Grandma. I’ve gotten used to it.”Whatever they did to her didn’t matter anymore. From now on, they were no longer part of her life.Henry noticed Ginny’s arrival and turned away to busy himself elsewhere. After all these years, he still hadn’t resolved the resentment in his heart.What happened back then had left a scar too deep to forgive. Even now, seeing her looking pale and tired, he simply frowned and said nothi

Maybe it was all the years of swallowing her pride, but in this moment, Autumn felt a wave of relief like never before.The divorce papers were in her hands.She finally didn’t have to pretend around Julian anymore. These past weeks, she had held her tongue to the point of becoming someone else's punching bag.Now, it was finally Julian who needed something from her. What a turnaround. It was truly satisfying.Julian’s face darkened, his brows furrowed in irritation. His eyes narrowed as he looked down at her. “Autumn, have you made enough of a scene?”He came in person and gave her a way out. Any reasonable person would have taken it.But Autumn had the nerve to call him Mr. Carter and even throw sarcasm in his face. This was the first time she’d ever dared to speak to him like this.She used to be so compliant—always calling and texting. It was constant.Even when he barely responded, Autumn kept it up enthusiastically, eager to share every little thing in her life. She’d once s

During lunch, Selena leaned over and asked Autumn, “Autumn, what was that thing you wanted me to join?”After being fooled by that scumbag for so long, coming home and feeling the warmth of her family again had lifted her spirits.She remembered Autumn mentioning something about striking it rich and figured she’d ask—who knew, maybe she could get rich alongside her best friend.Autumn lowered her voice. “My senior has a project and he’s looking for investors. I spoke to him about it yesterday.“If you’re willing to put in some capital, you can become a shareholder in Vanguard. You’d handle the finances. What do you think?”She knew Selena had saved up a decent amount over the years. With a little extra help from her, there’d be no issue.Selena nodded without hesitation. “Absolutely. I’ve been wanting to do something like this for ages. This is the perfect opportunity. I’m not missing it.“Autumn, you really are my lucky star. I was just wondering what to do next, and now you’ve sorte

Autumn couldn’t help but laugh. The Carters had gotten so used to pushing her around that even now, when the power dynamic had shifted, they were still clinging to their superiority.Sienna’s breathing grew heavy through the speaker, clearly furious. “Autumn, don’t get cocky just because you're riding the coattails of the Sinclair heir.“He has a proper fiancée, you know. You’re just a side piece—what exactly are you so proud of?”Autumn smirked. “You really don’t need to worry about me, Miss Carter. You should focus on yourself. Find a good lawyer and start preparing to defend yourself in court.”With that, she hung up and blocked the number without hesitation.Only after all that did she finally close her eyes. Nothing like the comfort of home.Around 6:30, someone knocked on the door. Still in her slippers, Autumn padded over to open it.It was a delivery guy in uniform.“Are you Miss Lewis?” he asked politely.Autumn nodded automatically. She hadn’t ordered anything—was this a mi
