Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO novel Chapter 12

Grace froze for a moment, clearly not expecting Autumn to actually come after her, let alone speak to her like that.

This was nothing like the timid, eager-to-please Autumn she used to know.

Back then, Autumn was always meek and submissive around her, to the point where it was downright irritating.

But now, with this cold and distant demeanor, it felt like she was dealing with a different person entirely.

Luna tightened her grip on Grace’s hand, a little anxious, and whispered, “Madam Grace, who is she?”

Grace turned her back and kept up the act. “I don’t know her. She must be out of her mind. Six million? Why not rob a bank instead?”

Autumn didn’t get angry.

She let Selena stand by, watching the scene unfold with visible annoyance.

She calmly pulled a contract out of her bag, lips curling into a frosty smile. “Is that so, Ms. Palmer? Don’t forget, we signed a contract.

“Why not let the other Ms. Lewis here take a look? Maybe she can tell if there’s anything wrong with it. What do you think?”

Luna’s heart skipped a beat.

There was an unmistakable hint of threat in Autumn’s words.

They both knew they had things they didn’t want the other to find out.

Grace turned to Luna, confused. “You know Autumn?”

Luna was the Lewis family heiress.

She was from a famous, powerful, and wealthy family.

How could a poor orphan like Autumn possibly know someone like her?

Grace had objected to her son marrying Autumn from the start.

She brought nothing to the table and added no value to his career.

Someone with Luna’s background was a proper match.

Once the cooling-off period for the divorce ended and they got the official papers, they could finally get rid of Autumn for good.

Luna gripped Grace’s hand tighter and explained with guilt in her voice, “Madam Grace, I... I don’t know her. Maybe she saw something about me online, that’s why she remembers me.”

Grace nodded, thinking that made sense.

How could a nobody like Autumn possibly know a Lewis heiress?

She clutched her handbag tightly, watching as Autumn walked toward them step by step with the contract in hand.

The clicking of her heels echoed like a hammer striking straight into the hearts of Grace and Luna, making them both increasingly uneasy.

Autumn stopped in front of them, holding up the contract as she swept a cold glance at the pair.

“Ms. Palmer, if you want to deny it, that’s fine. I’m not unreasonable. But you know me—I can be quite stubborn.

“If I end up saying something I shouldn’t or doing something a bit out of line, I hope you won’t take it too personally.”

She paused, then stared directly at them. “For example, I could send this contract to the Lewis family and mention a few things that might ruin this little alliance you’re working on.

“Or maybe I’ll take it to court and let the whole world know about some less-than-glorious secrets.
