Chapter 611

“I was only teasing her, I wasn’t actually trying to imprison her. You have to believe me!”He never imagined Caleb would have surveillance footage in his hands. It caught him completely off guard.And this was the Shea family’s territory—his territory. He always believed he could do whatever he wanted here, without anyone daring to interfere.Hearing this, William slapped David hard across the face. “A joke? That’s your idea of a joke? Then consider this slap my joke.“You ungrateful brat! How dare you act this way in front of me? I’ve indulged you far too much. I’ve spoiled you into thinking you can do whatever you want.“Autumn is a guest I personally invited, and you actually dared treat her this way. Do you still see me as your grandfather?”The more he spoke, the angrier he became. After steadying his breath, he continued, “I told you long ago that Luna was trouble. I told you to stay away from her, but you refused to listen.“Whatever hold she had on you—she’s gone, yet you’re

Chapter 612

Autumn lowered her head for a moment, thinking it through, then said, “I can let him off this time. Mr. Shea Sr., consider this my repayment for the support you gave me years ago.“You can’t have it both ways. Either you work with us, or you keep protecting your grandson. Think it through before you choose.“And let me make this clear now: his tragic past doesn’t give him the right to cross lines. If there’s a next time, I won’t let it slide. He’ll pay for it the way he should.”She had just repaid the Shea family’s past kindness, so she owed them nothing now.As for that offhand request she once made, she didn’t think it was worth bringing up anymore. She’d already taken the money.Besides, David adored Luna. After being humiliated so publicly today, he would definitely come after her.But she wasn’t going to be afraid. Worst case, they’d tear each other apart. If she showed fear, he’d only push harder.Hearing Autumn’s calm, unapologetic tone, David nearly exploded. “Autumn, what the

These men had watched William fight his way through the business world when he was young.Naturally, they couldn’t just stand by and watch the company he built with his own hands be ruined by the next generation.David listened to their criticisms and let out a cold, furious laugh. “What the hell do any of you know? Luna was the kindest, most sensible girl I ever met. She was the woman I loved.“Autumn killed her. Shouldn’t she pay for that? You old fools are as senile as my grandfather, letting yourselves get charmed by Autumn.“If you want to sleep with her, be my guest. But leave my family out of it. I’m warning you, stop meddling in our business, or don’t blame me for being rude.”The men’s faces turned as dark as soot. One of the older ones pointed at him, stunned. “You… You actually dare insult us like this? We’re your grandfather’s friends. How dare you speak to us that way?”But after everything that happened earlier, David had no patience left. He snorted. “And what if I ins

Ethan brought Autumn to the hospital. After changing his clothes, he looked exhausted and worn out.In the emergency room, the doctor checked Autumn’s injuries, then shot Ethan a look full of disdain.“How can you call yourself her boyfriend? You beat your girlfriend to a pulp—what kind of man does that?”He’d seen plenty of domestic violence cases, but rarely someone injured this badly.Bruises covered her from head to toe. There were faint strangulation marks on her neck, her cheek was swollen, and dried blood clung beneath her nose.Her hand was the worst—soft-tissue damage from being stepped on. The sight almost made him want to call the police on the spot.But then he remembered that this was a family matter. Calling the police without consent could get him into trouble, and it would likely be handled as a domestic dispute anyway.After all, similar cases had happened before. Doctors reported the abuse, the police arrived, and in the end, everything was brushed aside as a “private

Chapter 615

He blamed himself deeply, and he also couldn’t stop worrying that David would retaliate against Autumn. A man that petty and vengeful would never let this go.Back then, William had admired David’s ruthlessness, but he never expected it to grow so twisted, lashing out at anyone and everyone without restraint.In business, that was fatal. Not knowing friend from foe, acting on impulse, there was no future for the Shea family with someone like that at the helm.Autumn looked at Ethan with gratitude. “Thank you, Ethan.”Ethan went to pick up her medication, and Autumn returned to the hospital room. She sat at the edge of the bed, staring at her phone, at her chat with Keith.The most recent message was from days ago—a reminder from Keith telling her to eat properly.Days had passed. She never reached out, and he hadn’t contacted her either.Had things already faded between them?Or was there never love to begin with, and their relationship was nothing more than a mutually convenient arran

Chapter 616

After Autumn finished applying the medication, the nurse stepped out, reminding her of a few things before leaving.Once the nurse left, Caleb walked in. “Miss Lewis, how are you feeling? Any better?”Autumn gave him a small smile and looked at him with gratitude. “I’m fine now. Thank you for checking on me. Honestly, thank you for today. If not for you, I really would’ve fallen right into that monster’s hands.“And you even came all the way here to check on me. I feel guilty about troubling you. You’re really thoughtful.”She and Caleb had only met a handful of times, so she never expected him to save her twice. It was impossible not to be moved.Caleb simply smiled at her. “I wonder if you believe in fate, Miss Lewis. When I first saw you, I swear it felt like déjà vu.“So I thought I should get to know you. There aren’t many people I take an instant liking to.“As friends, helping each other out is only natural. You don’t need to feel burdened by it.”He really knew how to talk, tur

“Let’s give them a chance. He said he would send David overseas again and pass the president’s position to his second son.“He wants us to consider it. I didn’t want you to have regrets, so I came to ask what you think. After all, Mr. Shea Sr. once helped us.”He had just spent a long time speaking with William. The old man’s tone was sincere, his posture almost humble, all for the sake of securing a partnership.After so many years in the business world, it was the first time he’d seen the head of a powerful family lower himself like that.If David hadn’t caused such a scene today, they might have reluctantly agreed to work with the Shea family out of gratitude for the past.No one expected things to flip so suddenly. Life rarely followed anyone’s plans—change always arrived before a person ever felt prepared.Since Autumn was the one who got hurt, Ethan had no right to make the decision for her, so he came to hear what she wanted.Autumn closed her eyes, then opened them again, her g

Chapter 618

The next morning, Caleb arrived with breakfast for Autumn, which genuinely surprised her.He set the food container on the bedside table. “Miss Lewis, I was on my way to the office and happened to pass by. I figured you probably hadn’t eaten yet.“I wasn’t sure what you liked, so I asked the housekeeper to put together some pastries and a few light breakfast items. I hope they’re to your liking.”Autumn looked at him with gratitude. “Mr. Jensen, that’s very thoughtful. I’m sorry to trouble you like this.”She hadn’t expected Caleb to be so kind to someone he had only met a handful of times. It left her a little overwhelmed.Her life had never been smooth, and very few people had ever treated her well.Of the few people who had shown her this kind of kindness after barely knowing her, only Keith came to mind.Thinking about Keith, a faint bitterness rose in her chest. Some of the things Vivian said still echoed in her mind.She had to admit those words made sense and Keith had simply st

Chapter 619

He could almost swear Caleb said those things on purpose, making sure every word reached his ears just to get under his skin.What stung even more was how quickly Autumn ended the call because of something that man said.He had only been gone a few days, and Caleb had already found a way to win her over. He was far too calculated.Whatever Caleb was after, Keith had no intention of letting him succeed so easily.Gripping his phone, he dialed another number. “Look into Autumn’s movements over the past few days. I want every detail.”…Autumn looked at Caleb with slight discomfort. “Mr. Jensen, you should go to work. I can manage on my own. I’m really sorry to trouble you so much.”Keith had definitely heard everything Caleb said just now. She would have to soothe him for half the day when she got home.And she didn’t know why, but every time she saw Keith, she couldn’t shake the memory of him helping the White family.That lingering distance was probably the barrier between them.And af

Chapter 620

The implication was that Caleb acted out of good intentions, which made Keith rushing over to question him seem abrupt and even rude.A real smooth operator indeed.Keith glanced down at Autumn and immediately noticed her expression change.Autumn stepped in to explain, “Mr. Jensen meant well. He’s helped me a lot… don’t misunderstand him.”Considering how many times Caleb had stepped in for her, defending him felt like the only fair thing to do.The moment those words left her mouth, Keith’s expression darkened, his stare at Caleb sharp as a blade.His hand at Autumn’s waist tightened slightly, a quiet reprimand, not painful but unmistakable.A heavy chill spread around them.Autumn instinctively shrank back, lowering her head like a child who had done something wrong, her fingers fidgeting nervously.This side of Keith was terrifying, like a lion on the verge of snapping.Sensing the fear trembling through her, Keith exhaled and gently brushed the speck of dirt from her cheek himself
