Semua Bab Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO: Bab 281 - Bab 290

"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

She couldn’t resist teasing, "What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you’re upset because you heard my cousin went out with a female colleague?"Flustered, Selena plucked a grape and shoved it into Autumn’s mouth. "Of course not! Stop talking nonsense. If you keep it up, I’ll hit you."The truth was, she didn’t know why hearing Zack had gone out made her feel unsettled, but she would never admit it. She told herself it was normal.After all, she used to admire Zack quite a lot. It was only after hearing he had a girlfriend that she gave up on the thought.She thought there was no chance for her, so she accepted Derek’s pursuit instead. She had given him her whole heart, only to discover he was nothing but a hypocrite.The thought left her feeling hollow. If she had chosen to pursue Zack back then, would things have turned out differently?But on second thought, there had been no chance before, and now there was even less. After all, he had another girlfriend now.That little secret, she had neve

But back then, without any evidence, all he could do was watch the rumors spread, watch George sent to prison, powerless to stop it.Autumn felt a sharp ache in her chest. She took a sip of coffee, then asked, "Was my uncle sent to prison because someone was pulling strings behind the scenes?"She already knew the Lewis family had manipulated the case. What she couldn’t understand was why they had chosen to side with the Far family.Was it really just because Jasmine’s mother was Luna’s aunt?But George was her uncle, Richard’s brother-in-law. How could he turn his back on family and help destroy him?"Yes." Charles nodded.Autumn’s chest ached even more. She asked hoarsely, "Was it the Lewis family?"When Charles nodded again, Autumn shut her eyes. Two streams of tears slipped into her coffee.Selena burst out angrily. "How disgusting can they get? To crush their own brother-in-law like that—are they even human?"That whole Lewis clan must be insane. It’s bad enough they sided with th

If he remembered correctly, she had never once come to him on her own; it was always him seeking her out.Setting aside the file in his hand, Keith stood and instructed Jesse, "Bring a glass of warm milk."Jesse acknowledged quickly and left the room.Keith straightened his collar, then gestured toward the sofa not far from her. "It’s hot outside. Sit down and cool off for a bit."Autumn walked over and sat stiffly on the sofa, her hands and feet awkward, not knowing what to do with herself. Maybe it was because she came here needing his help—despite how much more comfortable she had grown around Keith, she still felt nervous."Did you come for something?" Keith poured her a glass of warm water, set it in front of her, then took a seat beside her.The moment he saw her walk in, his heartbeat had gone out of control. Just the fact that she had come to him made him deeply happy. To keep her from noticing, he deliberately left some space between them.Noticing her reddened eyes, he narr

It felt as if this was something Autumn had done countless times before, not at all like her first time bringing someone a meal.The thought left Keith with a dull heaviness in his chest. He sat in silence beside her, eating.Awkward, Autumn sat to the side, sneaking a cautious glance at him. Was he suddenly upset?What a moody man. Why had she agreed to bring him food in the first place? She was asking for trouble.She had barely taken a few bites when Keith suddenly asked, "Did you used to bring Julian meals too?"Her hand froze mid-motion. Lifting her gaze, she found his eyes already on her.In that silent exchange, she saw an emotion in his dark gaze she couldn’t quite name.She lowered her head, dutifully answering, "Back then, if I brought Julian food, it was always the assistant who took it up. Unless it was something important, I wasn’t allowed in his office."She almost laughed at herself. She had kept that routine for three years, even convincing herself she enjoyed it.Looki
