บททั้งหมดของ Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

Simon looked at Autumn, his expression full of disappointment. "Autumn, when you mess up, you own it. Look at yourself right now, you’re acting like a complete shrew."Why can’t you be more like Luna? She’s polite, considerate, and top of her class. She has a PhD from one of the best universities in the country."And you? Aside from being good at playing mind games, what do you have that even comes close to matching her?"He was usually too busy with work to be home often, but every time Autumn came back, he tried to clear his schedule, just to sit down and have a meal with her.Yet without fail, every visit ended in disaster. And it always left him in a foul mood, especially this time—Autumn had jeopardized the partnership with Vanguard. That was crossing the line.The calm in Simon’s eyes finally cracked, a flicker of irritation showing. "Autumn, if you’re going to lie, at least come up with something better. What could someone with just a bachelor’s degree possibly do at Vanguar

Autumn forced herself to hold it together until she got to the car because she didn’t want Ginny to worry. The moment she slid into the driver’s seat, she finally let out a breath.Her hands were trembling as she reached into her bag for the bottle of pills. She tossed one into her mouth and took several gulps of warm water, only managing to swallow the bitterness after a few tries.Ever since her diagnosis, she made sure to keep warm water in the car every day, just in case.She was about to start the engine when a familiar figure caught her eye. She watched as the person walked away, trying to place the face, but couldn’t quite recall.Lowering her window, she turned her gaze toward the front gate.Luna stood there, holding another woman’s arm. The two of them seemed close, laughing and talking as if they’d been friends for years.When Autumn got a clear look at the woman’s face, her eyes widened.It finally hit her who she was.Jasmine Far.They were classmates back in middle sc

Autumn felt her heart skip half a beat. He’d seen it. Did this mean she had to come clean about her illness?She opened her mouth to speak, but before she could say anything, Julian’s phone rang.Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the name on the screen—“Lulu.” She didn’t need to guess who it was.Seeing that Julian had no intention of continuing the conversation, she quietly exhaled in relief.Without another word to her, Julian picked up his phone and walked out to the balcony to take the call.Autumn pressed her lips together and didn’t give it another thought. She turned and continued upstairs. After tomorrow, she’d be gone for good.Whatever Julian said or did now had nothing to do with her. She would part with him peacefully.Earlier today, during her flare-up, a sudden flash of inspiration had crossed her mind—one that could lead to an upgrade for their system.She realized that despite undergoing annual health checks, her cancer hadn’t been discovered until it was alre

Autumn ran over in tears and threw her arms around her mother, sobbing out apology after apology, promising that she’d never do it again.From that moment on, she stopped caring what others thought of her. No matter what people said, as long as it didn’t cross a line, she simply ignored it.But she never forgot their insults. She would silently take note, work harder in secret, and prove them wrong with real results.All throughout her school years, Autumn was always at the top of her class. Without a father figure, she learned early on to be independent and never gave her mother reason to worry.Now that they were saying she landed her job through shady means, she was determined to prove just how wrong they were.She was no bimbo.…After Alex finished giving Julian his report, he hesitated before adding, "Mr. Carter, about the legal notice you sent to Mrs. Carter—today is the repayment deadline."Mr. Fang asked me to confirm whether we should proceed with the usual process, or…"H

Autumn touched her pale face lightly. "I’m fine. I’ll go eat now."She didn’t even feel like explaining anymore. After today, she’d be leaving this house for good, likely never seeing them again. There was no need to say anything.Once the banquet ended tomorrow, she’d leave with her suitcase. Just thinking about it brought an overwhelming sense of relief.After dinner, Autumn returned to her desk and picked up where she left off.She wrote straight through until after ten. Then, like always, she headed downstairs with her cup to get some water and took out a pill from the bottle.The front door creaked open, and the sound startled her. Her body jolted, and she accidentally flung the pill bottle from her hand.Julian walked in right at that moment. He glanced at the pills scattered across the floor and casually asked, "Not feeling well again?"Snapping out of it, Autumn gave a vague reply. "Yeah. Just the usual."She crouched down to pick them up, but when she saw some of the pil
