Chapter 64

As soon as Autumn left the café, a wave of nausea surged in her stomach.

She clutched her abdomen and got into the car, collapsing against the steering wheel, gasping for breath.

Once again, those irrelevant people had pushed her to the brink.

If she didn’t walk away now, their shamelessness might actually kill her.

She pulled out her medication, popped a pill into her mouth, and unscrewed her thermos, taking several big gulps to wash away the bitterness.

After that, she slumped weakly against the wheel, drenched in cold sweat from the pain.

A dense, gnawing ache spread through every inch of her body, like tens of thousands of ants were chewing on her from the inside out.

She couldn’t hold on.

Her vision went black, and she passed out on the spot.

She didn’t know how long had passed when she slowly came to and realized she was still in the car.

The worst of the pain had subsided after the nap, and once she felt steady again, she started the engine and drove off.

No one knew that during that brief moment, Autumn had nearly died.

Fortunately, she was too stubborn to go down that easily—even death had to back off.

Soon after, she received a call from a lawyer representing the Carter Group.

“Ms. Lewis, regarding the letter we sent you-one of the claims has been withdrawn.

“Ms. Palmer admitted there was a misunderstanding; she remembered incorrectly. That lawsuit has been canceled.

“However, the other one still stands. Due to your negligence, the company suffered a direct loss of one million.

“The evidence is valid, and we ask that you repay it as soon as possible.”

“I’m just calling to remind you the final deadline is the day after tomorrow. I suggest you start gathering the funds, Ms. Lewis.”

After hanging up, Autumn let out a bitter laugh.

So, the countdown had started from the day she was hospitalized.

Julian really didn’t miss a trick.

He would stop at nothing to force her into submission.

How absolutely shameless.

If it weren’t for her illness and her urgent desire to leave the Carter family behind, she would’ve enjoyed dragging this out and watching them squirm.

But her body was deteriorating by the day, and she didn’t want to be tangled up with any of them anymore.

She’d only ever wanted to leave quietly, but they insisted on dancing in front of her face.

It was exhausting.

The next day, Monday, marked her first day at Vanguard.

She got up early, had breakfast, and drove out.

The day after tomorrow was Wednesday.

It would be the day she officially moved out of the Carter residence.

Just thinking about finally escaping that hell made her feel lighter.

As she stopped at a red light, her phone rang.

It was Ethan.

“Autumn, it’s your first day reporting to the company. Do you want me to come pick you up?”

Autumn shook her head. “No need, I’ve already left and I’m almost at the office.”

Ethan sounded surprised. “That fast? Then you might have to wait a bit. I’m almost there too.”

After ending the call, the light turned green.

Autumn stepped on the gas and pulled smoothly into traffic.

Once she arrived at the company, Ethan’s assistant, Colin Fang, came out to meet her and led her inside.

As they passed the reception lounge, Autumn was caught off guard by a familiar face.

Her eyes widened slightly. What was Luna doing here?
