Remarried After I Secretly Divorced the CEO novel Chapter 195

195 /218

Through the door Autumn heard Jasmine’s choked voice. “Mom, I just started working in Northhaven, I really don’t have money right now. Let me send something back after I get paid, okay?”

“What? You want to buy my brother a car? Mom, he’s still a kid—what does he need a car for? And where am I supposed to get that kind of money?”

“I’m your daughter too. You can’t favor him so much, draining me dry just to feed him. It’s not fair!”

Listening to Jasmine’s hysterical sobs, Autumn felt a wave of gratitude for having had a good mother, growing up under her love and protection.

She didn’t find Jasmine pitiful.

After all, the pitiful often had something hateful about them. Being pitied was no excuse for her to stab others whenever she pleased.

It was Jasmine’s parents who owed her, not Autumn. Autumn had no intention of indulging her bad habits.

When Jasmine finally composed herself and stepped out, she froze at the sight of Autumn by the door.

She stared for several seconds. Why was Autumn still here? How much of that call had she overheard?

She hadn’t expected her most vulnerable side to be witnessed by Autumn.

At that moment, she didn’t even know how to describe the storm of emotions inside her.

Tugging at her designer clothes, she snapped angrily, “Autumn, how much did you hear?”

Autumn answered openly, “I heard everything. What, did you not want me to? Too bad, I heard it all.

“Jasmine, I really don’t understand you sometimes. You can’t even manage your own life, yet you still find time to laugh at others.

“If everyone lived like you, bitter about their own misery and determined not to let anyone else be happy, wouldn’t that be terrifying? Don’t you think so?”
