Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159

In the past, all it took was a little kindness from them, and Autumn would bend over backward to please them, wagging her tail like a pitiful little puppy.

But when had she started to change-becoming so sharp and combative, with barbs ready for anyone who crossed her?

This new version of Autumn felt completely uncultured, and Hector didn’t like it one bit.

He believed girls should be like Luna-sweet, well-mannered, thoughtful, and smart but never showy.

In every way, Luna was miles ahead of Autumn.

Next to her, Autumn was nothing more than the ugly duckling.

Autumn let out a cold laugh. “Oh? So, your explanation is all it takes? I’m just supposed to listen and accept it?

“Mr. Lewis, why don’t you take a trip to the bathroom and check the mirror-see if your face is actually made of gold?

“If you love flattering yourself so much, maybe it’s because your face isn’t worth much to begin with?”

Whether it was the Lewis family or Julian and his people, they all seemed obsessed with inflating their own worth.

But she wasn’t going to play along anymore. Since they were strangers now, there was no need for niceties.

Hector was fuming, ready to blow, but just as he opened his mouth, the elevator doors slid open.

Autumn stepped out without giving him another chance to speak.

Watching her walk away only made him more furious, but remembering why he’d come, he forced himself to hold it in.

There’d be plenty of chances to get back at her.

There was no need to rush.

After delivering the documents, Autumn returned to the tech department and picked up where she’d left off.

She didn’t give the elevator encounter another thought. People who didn’t matter didn’t deserve her energy.

Whether it was Julian or the Lewis brothers-none of them meant anything to her now.

She was done.

After work, she went home exhausted and collapsed onto the couch.

Tomorrow was Saturday-her follow-up appointment with Peter.

She wasn’t sure what to expect and felt a little anxious, hoping the results wouldn’t be too bad.

Just then, a headline popped up on her feed.

It was a post from the White family’s official account.

The attached photo showed two people holding hands, both wearing massive, dazzling diamond rings.

The caption read: “Miss White and the Sinclair heir-childhood sweethearts for over twenty years-are now officially engaged.”

For a moment, Autumn’s mind went blank. But she quickly composed herself.

But she quickly came to her senses.
