Pressed against the wall, Autumn tilted her head up toward the ceiling, blinking quickly to force back the tears.
After a few seconds of silence, she said, “Fine, let’s not talk about the past. Let’s talk about now. You clearly lost because you weren’t good enough, yet you insist on blaming me. Don’t you think that’s ridiculous?
“Or is it that you’ve been shifting blame since childhood, so used to calling me the bad one that whatever I do is automatically wrong?”
Simon pressed his lips together.
He had to admit, Autumn guessed right, but he would never admit it out loud.
He snapped coldly, “Do you know how many people want a meeting with Mr. Sinclair and can’t even get one?
“We finally managed to arrange it, and you went and ruined everything. Now we can’t secure the deal. Are you happy?
“I used to think you were just spoiled by Mom. But now it’s clear—you’ve completely gone astray. You don’t even know friend from foe anymore.”
He knew their mother had doted on this sister, and once upon a time they had too.
But somehow, she became more and more unreasonable.
At some point, he realized he no longer liked her.
Still, she was their sister. They couldn’t just let her make mistakes without trying to correct her.
Just as Autumn was about to speak, a deep, cool voice came from behind her. “I was the one who didn’t want to meet with you, not Autumn. Why blame her?
“Do you really think that without her, people like you would even qualify to see me?”
Keith’s tall figure stepped forward, stopping right in front of Autumn. “Are you alright?”
Autumn shook her head. “I’m fine.”
