Chapter 221

He had only gone out to meet someone, and when he came back to ask Autumn to dinner, he saw her being bullied, and the one doing it was her so-called brother. To say he wasn’t angry would have been a lie.Simon hadn’t even reacted before Ethan shoved him aside. He stumbled several steps, crashing into the corner wall before managing not to fall. Pain twisted across his face, and rage followed, but the moment he realized Ethan had come from outside, shock flickered in his eyes. Had they really misunderstood Autumn?Hector stepped up to Simon, glaring furiously at Ethan. He gave a cold snort. “We don’t have that kind of sister. Our sister is Luna. A woman as disgraceful as Autumn has no right to be our sister.”Since Autumn didn’t want to acknowledge them, then so be it. They didn’t want her either. What rotten luck they’d had to end up with someone like her as their sibling.“Oh?” Ethan arched a brow. “If that’s the case, then what right do you have to hit her? And speaking of dis

Autumn was furious. The truth was right in front of them, yet they still tried to smear her.She spotted a janitor nearby mopping the floor, grabbed the bucket at her side, and flung the water straight at Hector.Before he could react, Autumn turned to the woman. “Sorry, mind if I borrow this mop for a second?”She snatched the mop and swept it across Hector’s mouth. “Since your mouth’s so filthy, let me clean it up for you. Maybe then you’ll stop spewing garbage every time you open it.“Hector, I have nothing to do with you anymore. Whatever I do has nothing to do with you.“What right do you have to show up here just to insult me? I only switched rooms with Ethan, and you two turn it into a circus.”With that, she swung the mop harder, even catching Simon in the process. The two brothers looked like beaten strays, their mouths smeared as she kept jabbing them with the mop.Autumn, still seething, sneered coldly. “Since you only recognize Luna, why bother coming after me? Is it becau

As Autumn scrubbed at Luna with the mop, she sneered coldly. “You like stirring up trouble, do you? Then let me give that filthy mouth of yours a proper wash.“Luna, you shameless mistress, again and again you provoke me. Do you really think I’m dead?“Your mother played the other woman, and her daughter turned out the same. Both of you are equally disgraceful.”Her grip tightened as she pressed harder with the mop. “To flaunt your role as a mistress the way you do—unbelievable. You should be skulking in the dark, yet you strut around with that scumbag man like you’re proud of it.“The shamelessness you and your mother share is beyond imagination.“She ruined my mother’s life, and now you think you can ruin mine too? Have you even looked at yourself, you’re not even close to being enough.”Autumn was seething but seeing them flailing like drowned rats gave her a fierce satisfaction.The janitor stood frozen, but as she listened, sympathy for Autumn flickered across her face.She clapp

Chapter 224

Autumn acted as if she hadn’t heard a word. She turned her head away, wiped her tears, and heard Ethan ask gently, “Autumn, are you alright?”She shook her head. “I’m fine. I’m used to it.”Moments later, the hotel security arrived. Hector immediately pointed at Autumn and shouted, “Officer, she actually attacked us in public! Look—we’re hurt! Arrest her right now!”The security guard looked at Autumn. “Miss, whatever happened, why resort to violence? Can’t you talk things out?”Calmly, Autumn pulled out her phone and played a recording—Hector and Simon’s voices filled the air, cursing her.When the recording ended, Autumn spoke evenly. “Sir, they were the ones who hurled insults at me first. I lost my temper and hit them.“All because I switched rooms with Ethan. They saw me walk out of his room and immediately twisted it into something dirty.“Though I hate to admit it, they’re my brothers. If even my own brothers slander me like this without a shred of reason, how could I not be a

Chapter 225

When Hector spotted Autumn, his expression darkened, but he said nothing and sat down beside Simon.Simon fixed Julian with a sharp look. “Julian, have you ever been married?”He knew Autumn’s temper, but she wouldn’t accuse Luna of being a mistress without reason. And this wasn’t the first time she’d said it. That alone was enough to make him wonder if Julian was hiding something.Julian’s hand, midway through ladling soup, paused for a second before resuming as if nothing had happened. He hadn’t spoken yet when Hector jumped in.“Brother, what kind of question is that? Don’t tell me you believe Autumn’s nonsense too?“I think she just can’t stand seeing Luna doing better than her, so she keeps trying to trip them up.“Have you forgotten? At the banquet she deliberately wore the same gown as Luna just to get Julian’s attention.”Though he himself was starting to waver at Autumn’s words, Hector still chose to believe Luna. That lunatic had humiliated them in front of Keith only two

Chapter 226

After leaving, Autumn soon received a friend request from Selena’s uncle, Charles Penn.Her fingers trembled slightly as she held the phone. After hesitating for a long while, she finally sent him a message: Mr. Charles, good evening. I’m George Fang’s niece.A voice reply came almost immediately: “I know. Selena already told me about you. Send me all the evidence you’ve gathered so far—just take photos and forward them to me.”Autumn’s heart gave a hard jolt. With shaky hands, she sent over all the photos she had prepared earlier.Moments later, his reply came: Received.Her chest tightened with unease. She didn’t know what Charles would think after seeing those things and sending them left her with an even heavier sense of uncertainty.By the time dinner came around, she was still absentminded and distracted.Ethan placed a piece of braised eggplant on her plate. “Are you still upset about what happened earlier?”Drawn back from her thoughts, Autumn shook her head and answered truth

She despised uninvited guests, especially when it came to the Lewis family. Whenever she had tried to find them before, they were nowhere to be seen. Now that she wanted nothing to do with them, they kept showing up at her door. People really were shameless.Simon dropped onto the sofa, stretching out his long legs and crossing them casually. He lifted his gaze and looked at Autumn coolly. “I heard you’re drowning in debt, that’s why you became Ethan’s mistress.“Autumn, you’d rather sell your body than come home and bow your head to us?”He honestly hadn’t expected her to fall so low. A simple apology at home could have solved everything, yet she insisted on choosing the most degrading way out. He couldn’t understand it.No matter her flaws, she was still their sister. If they had known her situation, they never would have stood by and done nothing.Autumn’s delicate face turned to ice. “Mr. Lewis, watch your words. Otherwise, I’ll sue you for slander.”Here he was again, cutting

Chapter 228

Autumn shot back without the slightest courtesy. “As far as I recall, Mr. Lewis, I never invited you here for a talk.”The implication was clear—Simon had come uninvited, and she had no intention of speaking with him.Simon gave a cold snort. “Autumn, you’ll regret what you’ve done today.”With that, he stormed out, slamming the door so hard it rattled.Autumn let out a sigh, speechless at his dramatics. She took a sip of water, pushed the unpleasantness aside, and got ready for bed.Soon the day of the expo arrived. When Autumn and Ethan entered, the venue was already buzzing with people gathered in small groups, talking shop.The last two times Autumn had attended such events, she and Ethan had gone separately. This time they walked in together. But whether alone or not, Autumn never shied from the crowd.The moment Ethan stepped inside, several people surrounded him.“Mr. Sharp, we’ve heard Vanguard is about to launch a new project. Can you share any details?”“Yes, Mr. Sharp. Four

Chapter 229

The only explanation they could come up with was that the AI diagnostic system had been developed by Ethan’s mentor. Since his mentor was far too busy now to take on research, the projects had gone quiet in recent years.Ethan merely smiled without replying. Standing beside Autumn, all they could see was him, while she remained completely invisible.They had no idea that the very person they spoke of with such reverence—Z—was standing right in front of them, entirely overlooked.A pack of shortsighted fools.Someone finally noticed Autumn behind Ethan and pointed toward her. “Mr. Sharp, and this young lady is?”At last, someone acknowledged her presence. Ethan lifted his chin slightly and introduced her. “This is one of our newest engineers—and the core of our technical team.”He then turned to introduce Autumn to the executives gathered around. They gave her polite smiles and nothing more.None of them knew who she was, let alone her true abilities. To them, she was just a young gir

Chapter 230

Simon greeted everyone in the circle one by one, deliberately ignoring Autumn’s presence.Autumn had long grown used to it and no longer cared, though a faint pang of disappointment still flickered in her chest.Perhaps noticing the look in her eyes, when David Cowell posed a question, Ethan shifted slightly and gestured toward her. “Mr. Cowell, Autumn is one of our core engineers. You should talk with her—I’m sure she’ll give you plenty of insight.”All eyes turned to Autumn, including Simon’s, but the doubt in their gazes was so blatant it made her uncomfortable.She knew they didn’t believe in her abilities. She also knew that making a comeback wouldn’t be easy.All the more since she herself refused to reveal her true identity. Still, she wouldn’t let the obstacle in front of her defeat her.Not wanting Simon to discover her true capability so soon, she leaned in to whisper a few words to Ethan.Ethan nodded in understanding, then calmly answered the very question David had raised
