Chapter 144
At Royal Crest Lounge, the moment Autumn and Ethan stepped into the private room, the conversation inside came to an abrupt
halt.
Everyone turned to look, visibly stunned for a few seconds.
Autumn swept her eyes across the room.
Aside from her two brothers from the Lewis family, Julian and Luna were present, along with Ryan and Grant.
It was quite the turnout.
Seeing all those faces, Ethan instinctively glanced at Autumn.
When he noticed her expression remained calm and composed, he finally relaxed.
As they entered, Ryan and Grant exchanged glances, both clearly startled.
Then, in unison, they looked toward Julian, who sat there with a neutral expression, completely unfazed.
Julian’s composure was impressive. His ex-wife and the other woman in his life just walked into the same room, and he remained cool as ever.
Wasn’t he worried they’d end up clawing at each other?
And the fact that Autumn came in with Ethan?
There was no way their relationship was just between a superior and subordinate.
Could Ethan be her new man?
That possibility made Ryan mutter under his breath, “Autumn’s really got some guts. Walking in with another guy right in front of Julian. (1
“You think she’s doing it to get back at Julian, or is she actually with Ethan?”
Back then, Autumn had been obsessed with Julian.
No matter how badly he treated her, she’d always forgive him unconditionally.
She was like a loyal little dog, wagging her tail and begging for scraps of attention.
She kept that up for years.
But now? She wasn’t fawning over Julian anymore. She’d shown up with another man and right in front of him.
Could this be some new tactic to get his attention?
Problem was, it didn’t look like Julian was even flinching.
If that was her plan, it clearly wasn’t working.
She miscalculated again.

Grant glanced around and added quietly, “I think she’s just trying to get Julian’s attention. That’s the whole reason she did this.
“Think about it—the Lewis Group and the Carter Group finally nailed down this partnership, and Autumn shows up, stirring the
pot.
“How she managed to do it, I don’t know. But I doubt it was anything legitimate.”

Ryan nodded, whispering in agreement, “I think you’re right. But Autumn’s getting bolder by the day.
“She used to only cause a fuss in front of Julian. Now she’s doing it publicly? Damn, that’s wild.”
