But for Autumn’s sake, he had no choice. He couldn’t let everything his cousin finally earned be destroyed in her hands. If that happened, he would carry the guilt for the rest of his life.Nina still refused to back down. “Were you blind when Autumn slandered me? Were you dead? Now that I’m holding her accountable, suddenly you reacted to defend her.“With that attitude of yours, there’s no way I’m forgiving Autumn. I’m going to blow this up. I want her to taste what it feels like to have her reputation dragged through the mud.“Zack, you’re a coward. You like someone but don’t even dare admit it. You’re not half as honest as your cousin. It’s pathetic.”A few days ago, a wealthy client approached her for a deal. She only needed to collect dirt on Autumn— the more explosive the better. As soon as she handed over something useful, she would get forty thousand. She couldn’t find any real evidence, but this scandalous angle would do.How could she not be tempted by forty thousand? Al

Even if someone forced him and Selena together, Zack would still find a hundred excuses to walk away. There was nothing she could do about the two of them.Watching Autumn’s back as she walked off, Zack fell deep into thought, her parting words echoing in his mind. Inside him, two voices were at war. The rational one whispered: “You don’t deserve Selena. Telling her how you feel will only burden her. Everyone will think you’re reaching far above your station. “They’ll laugh at you, call you a man living off a woman. And your family will be mocked right along with you.”But the other voice—the stubborn, aching part of him—shouted louder: “Tell her the truth before it’s too late. Once Selena moves on, you won’t stand a chance. You love her. You don’t want to watch her marry someone else. You want to be with her.”His head throbbed painfully, torn between the two sides. Autumn’s warning still rang in his ears, filling him with the reckless urge to run to Selena right that moment and c

Although Lily wasn’t particularly fond of Nina as a future daughter-in-law, she couldn’t argue with her son’s choice. In the end, it was their life together, not hers, and she didn’t want to meddle more than necessary.Everyone said the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship was the hardest to manage, and she certainly didn’t intend to be the kind who rubbed young people the wrong way.Her son was grown now; he needed a life of his own. She’d even started looking at potential homes to show Zack, ready for him to build a life of his own.After that, she and her husband could simply enjoy their quiet life together.Autumn watched the two of them putting on a seamless act. If she hadn’t overheard their conversation earlier, she might’ve actually believed it.But she wanted no part in their mess, so she said nothing and went straight to the sofa to eat fruit.Nina made herself very comfortable, plopping right down beside Autumn. When Autumn reached for an apple, Nina snatched it

She assumed Autumn and Nina, being former classmates, would have plenty to talk about, never expecting Autumn to walk into the kitchen to help.And with dinner nearly finished, there was no need for Autumn to assist, so she simply pushed her back out.Forced out the moment she stepped in, Autumn felt helpless, and not wanting to sit there and invite more trouble, she headed to the balcony for some air.When she unlocked her phone, she froze at the sight of Caleb’s social post.Because of everything that happened today, she hadn’t made it to the gala, yet Keith had attended with Vivian.And the two of them stood arm in arm like a real couple, so close they were nearly pressed together.Her fingers went numb around her phone, her mind empty, unable to think at all.It was hard to believe that the man who had held her so intimately at noon could, by evening, turn into someone completely different, tender with another woman.And that woman was the one Keith had once stepped in to help, and

“Just because I didn’t go to the gala with you tonight, you brought your little childhood sweetheart instead. What am I in your eyes?”When she shouted those words, her eyes were burning red, and her tears fell uncontrollably, one drop after another.She was truly exhausted.She didn’t want to continue this vague, undefined relationship with Keith anymore. If she kept going, it would only hurt more in the future.She had been too arrogant, thinking Keith was different from most men.But what was different? Was it that he could hurt her while pretending everything was fine, all while keeping her in a relationship that couldn’t see the light of day?How was he any different from Julian? Were all men the same?Julian and Keith were the same, and even her Zack was just as hypocritical.He secretly liked Selena, yet he kept hurting her and then turned around to use Nina to provoke Selena.They were truly birds of the same feather.The situations were different, but the essence was the same—
