Grant glanced over at Autumn, then nodded in agreement.

“No doubt she’s got some skills. To make it into an event like this-we really underestimated her.”

He also found Autumn incredibly annoying.

She knew Julian’s heart wasn’t with her anymore, yet she still clung on desperately.

It was just pathetic.

Ryan asked curiously, “Grant, that gown she’s wearing-those haute couture pieces are worth more than two million. How do you think she got her hands on it?”

“With the kind of dead-end salary she earns, there’s no way she could afford something like that. It’s strange.”

After thinking for a moment, Ryan suddenly said, “Wait, I’ve got it. Isn’t it possible she’s wearing a knockoff?”

“Faking it just to look rich at an event like this? Tsk, that’s so embarrassing.”

When Luna heard them mention that she and Autumn were wearing the same dress, she frowned in annoyance.

But the moment they said Autumn’s might be a knockoff, she relaxed.

Autumn trying to compete with her? She really didn’t know her place.

Julian gave Autumn a brief glance, but didn’t pay her any real attention. He turned and walked away with Luna.

On the other side, as soon as Autumn saw Ethan walk in, she quickly got up to greet him.

But after taking a few steps, she was blocked by Ryan.

“Autumn, Julian’s here to discuss a major partnership tonight. Don’t go over and cause a scene.”

“The woman next to him is the sister of the president of Lewis Corporation. It’s just a social appearance. Don’t take it to heart.”

He thought he’d worded it as politely as possible.

If Autumn had any sense, she wouldn’t make a fuss at a time like this.

Men prioritized their careers.

If Julian missed out on this deal because of Autumn, he’d only resent her more.

That logic, he figured, was obvious enough for Autumn to understand.

There was no need for them to say more.

After all, whenever Autumn had tried to make a scene before, saying this was usually enough to make her back

down.

But Autumn, seeing Ethan walk past in the crowd, sidestepped Ryan and said, “Move. I’m not here to look for

Julian. I just saw someone I know and I’m going to talk to him.”

She had no interest in arguing.

All she wanted now was to find Ethan.

Whatever Julian was doing had absolutely nothing to do with her.

Today was the first.

Once the banquet was over, she would be leaving Julian for good.

So, none of it mattered to her anymore.

But Ryan didn’t buy it.

He stepped forward and blocked Autumn again. “Autumn, who could you possibly know here? You should leave. This isn’t a place for you.”
