**When the Stars Forgot to Return My Wishes**

**Chapter 517**

“You dare to call that being unrelated? Do you genuinely expect anyone to buy into that ridiculous claim?” Autumn’s voice dripped with disdain, her anger boiling just beneath the surface as she gritted her teeth. “You maintained your loyalty to your precious old flame for three long years, and the moment she decides to waltz back into your life, she moves right into your home? And you have the audacity to claim you two were innocent? Do you think people are that gullible?”

Autumn’s heart raced as she recalled the sacrifices Selena had made. “Selena severed ties with her family for you, you know! She even went behind the scenes, begging her brother to lend a hand to your struggling business—all for you and your pathetic pride. And now that you’ve finally scraped together some cash, you look down on her? It took her leaving for you to realize your empire was crumbling and your company was on the brink of collapse. And now you cling to her like a lifeline while dragging her name through the mud? Are you even a real man?”

The thought of what Selena had endured made Autumn’s blood boil. The urge to confront the despicable man surged within her—a fierce desire to shake him until he understood the gravity of his actions. How dare he twist the narrative and play the victim? He deserved nothing less than to be exposed for what he truly was.

Her words echoed through the crowd like a thunderclap. In a world where justice still had its champions, the atmosphere crackled with tension.

People had little tolerance for homewreckers; women, in particular, were merciless. The moment Autumn branded Sophie as the mistress, a wave of hostile glares washed over her.

“Oh my God, she’s the mistress? No wonder she had the audacity to act so shamelessly. I honestly thought she was the legitimate girlfriend. You really can’t judge a book by its cover,” one woman whispered, shaking her head in disbelief.

“This poor girl! She used her family’s hard-earned resources to secure a place for them, pinching pennies all the while, and now the mistress moves in first? It’s shocking that this guy even thought he could get away with that,” another added, her voice laced with indignation.

“The jerk actually played the victim card, accusing this girl of jealousy and infidelity. I bet those two have been sleeping together for ages,” a man chimed in, his tone filled with contempt.
