Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171

Keith was clearly asking that on purpose. It was just too much.

“Mr. Sinclair, it’s late. If there’s nothing else, you should get some rest. I just left the office, so I’ll head back now. See you tomorrow.”

After hanging up, Keith pushed the door open and got out of the car. The gloom from earlier vanished, and his mood instantly lifted.

The next morning, Autumn didn’t wake until seven–thirty.

The first thing she saw was a message from Keith.

“Remember not to have breakfast today. Otherwise, the check–up will make your stomach uncomfortable. Head over first; I’ll be at the hospital before nine.”

Reading it, Autumn felt a warm glow in her chest. It was nice to be thought of.

But a second later, she reminded herself not to rely too much on anyone.

Otherwise, the ending could be even worse than now.

If she went through something like this again, she’d lose what little she had left to love.

She had to keep reminding herself to stay clear–headed, never again becoming that lovesick fool.

When Autumn arrived at the hospital, it was only eight–thirty.

She went straight to the floor where Peter’s office was.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, she was surprised to see Jasmine standing there, supporting a middle- aged woman while waiting for the lift.

When she got a clear look at the woman’s face, Autumn recognized her–it was Jasmine’s mother.

This floor was the oncology department.

So, Jasmine’s mother must have cancer too?

Ha. Karma. 2

Jasmine froze for a moment upon seeing Autumn, then lifted her chin high and sneered.

“Well, if it isn’t Miss Lewis. What brings you here. Don’t tell me you’ve got cancer too?

“You know what they say when arrogance reaches its peak, disaster follows. Looks like karma caught up to you real quick

“That’s why people shouldn’t get too full of themselves. You never know when retribution will strike, don’t you think?”

Who would have thought she’d run into Autumn first thing in the morning while bringing her mom for a check-

up?

Just her luck.

When enemies crossed paths, tempers always flared.

Autumn looked at Jasmine’s arrogant expression and curved her lips into a cold smile.

“So, you believe that saying too? When it comes to arrogance, I could never compare to you and your lot, could I?

“As for the matter of framing my uncle back then, we haven’t settled that yet. Don’t be in such a hurry, Miss Far -we’ll take our time with that old score.

“After all, what goes around comes around. Sooner or later, it’ll be your turn to fall. Don’t you agree?”

Fuming, Jasmine stepped into the elevator and deliberately bumped into Autumn, snapping, “Stop trying to scare me. You’re just an orphan. What could you possibly use to clear your uncle’s name?

“Let me tell you the truth. Back then, it was only with the Lewis family’s help that my family got that sum of money and walked away without consequences.
