Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below **Chapter 135** "Did they truly create such a scene?" Autumn struggled to fully comprehend the magnitude of the chaos that had just been described to her. Was Lydia really so oblivious to her surroundings?

Spotting Hannah with Mars, and within mere moments, she was exploding in rage? Not even pausing for a heartbeat to collect her thoughts? Did she not experience even a flicker of doubt about what she had just witnessed? "Absolutely." The private investigator chuckled, his eyes sparkling with a mischievous glee, as though he had just witnessed the most riveting spectacle. "At first, Mars attempted to calm Lydia down, urging her to keep her composure, warning her of the embarrassment that would follow if things escalated. But you know Lydia-she never listens to reason.

She just lunged at Hannah, fists flying." "Seeing that, Mars didn't hold back either. He grabbed Lydia's arm and slapped her, trying to knock some sense into her." "That really stirred the pot. Lydia erupted into screams and tears right there in the shop, and the owner had no choice but to intervene and kick them all out." Just hearing the investigator's account, Autumn could vividly envision the chaotic scene unfolding in her mind's eye. She had known Lydia all too well. The girl had been spoiled rotten by their parents, never once considering the feelings of others in her words or actions.

When she caught sight of Hannah with Mars, realizing that Hannah had taken her place, it must have felt like a piece of her world had been snatched away. To Lydia, that was simply intolerable. On top of that, she had always believed someone would swoop in to clean up her messes, no matter how reckless her behavior was. That was precisely why Lydia dared to act so impulsively. In the past, Mars would have undoubtedly sided with her. But now, he had Hannah, who outshone her in every conceivable way. There was no point in even comparing the two.

At the very least, Hannah was the new girl, and Mars was still caught up in that thrilling phase of infatuation. His arrogant, chauvinistic nature would never allow him to stand by and watch Lydia bully the newcomer. Mars was a complete scumbag. He had never held much affection for Lydia to begin with; deep down, he was only ever enamored with himself. He probably hadn't intervened today out of any genuine feelings for Hannah, whom he had just met.

It was more about how it would make him appear manly, thinking it would make Hannah fall for him even harder, which would ultimately serve his own interests. "And then what happened?" Autumn asked casually, taking a slow sip of her hot water. There was a certain thrill in witnessing both Mars and Lydia in distress; it brought her immense satisfaction. It would be nothing short of perfect if this entire situation erupted and exposed their tangled three-way relationship. That would save her a mountain of trouble.

"Then the shop owner called the cops, and they all ended up at the station." "Oh?" Autumn sprang to her feet, excitement coursing through her veins. "Well, I absolutely must see this train wreck for myself." The PI promptly sent her the address. After hanging up, Autumn quickly touched up her appearance, smoothing her hair and adjusting her outfit, preparing to leave. "Heading out?" Owen's voice echoed from the top of the stairs. When Autumn looked up, their eyes locked, and she could sense his curiosity.

"Yeah, going to witness some drama unfold." After a brief moment of hesitation, Autumn decided to take the initiative. "Care to join me?" Owen nodded. "I don't see why not." They hopped into the car, setting off straight for the police station when Autumn's phone buzzed. It was her father. His voice sounded like it had aged decades in a mere instant, hoarse and utterly drained. "Autumn, I need you to come home." This was, without a doubt, the gentlest Oliver Lopez had ever been with her.

Autumn surmised that he was at his wit's end with the chaos surrounding Lydia and Hannah, left with no other choice but to call on her for help. According to her plans, this was the moment she was supposed to keep her distance. But the thought of missing out on such prime drama would gnaw at her all night, so she reluctantly agreed to go. "I'm really sorry about this..." Since she was heading to the Lopez family home, it wouldn't be appropriate for Owen to tag along.

Autumn was about to gently suggest that he head back instead of waiting around in the car, but Owen had already made his decision. "I'll wait for you in the car." With that, there wasn't much more for Autumn to say. "Okay, I'll try to be quick." Autumn was already bracing herself for the inevitable comments from the Lopez family. She had no desire to play nice with them. She'd simply pop in to watch the fireworks and then leave, doing it as a favor for her dad. After all, Oliver had entrusted her with his most valued possessions. It would be cruel to sever that bond now.

Autumn wasn't like the rest of the cold-hearted, ungrateful Lopez clan. She acted with a clear conscience, never feeling the need to justify herself to anyone. "Just call me if anything goes down." Owen was concerned that the Lopez family might try to pull something underhanded. Autumn smiled reassuringly. "Don't underestimate me. If they try anything, I'll make them regret it." Owen's gaze lingered on Autumn's radiant smile, his eyes momentarily pausing before he let out a soft "Mm" and looked away. Autumn remained oblivious to Owen's fleeting pause.

Her mind was entirely focused on the unfolding drama at the Lopez house, wishing the car had wings to speed her there. Fortunately, the car was fast. Twenty minutes later, Autumn arrived at the Lopez family villa. As promised, Owen waited in the car. Fearing he might grow bored, Autumn decided to give him a call on WhatsApp. "I'll provide you with a live play-by-play." Owen glanced at the "Calling..." screen on his phone, a faint smile creeping onto his lips. "Sounds good." His gentle demeanor left Autumn feeling slightly flustered.

She managed only a quick smile before turning away and walking off. Owen's intense gaze followed Autumn as she approached the front door of the villa and disappeared inside with the staff before he finally looked away. He gently caressed his phone screen, then leaned back, sinking lazily into the seat. Inside the Lopez villa, Autumn's arrival did nothing to alleviate the turbulent atmosphere in the living room. In fact, when Lydia caught sight of Autumn, she began to wail even louder, as if Autumn were the one who had just pummeled her. Autumn discreetly rolled her eyes.

It baffled her how Lydia could be the instigator of the fight yet still cry with such self-righteous indignation. Did she genuinely believe that tears could resolve everything? "Why did you call me back?" Autumn's gaze landed on Mars, who was avoiding her eyes like they were a hot flame. "What are you doing here?" Oliver had been on the verge of demanding to know why Autumn was late, but her question made his entire demeanor tighten. Mars tensed as well, the word "guilty" practically stamped on his forehead.

"1..." Mars licked his lips, which were so dry from anxiety that they were beginning to crack. He winced in pain, his mind racing, but he couldn't form a single coherent sentence. "I'm the one who called you back. Why are you interrogating Mars the moment you walk in?" In the end, Oliver couldn't bear to see his son-in-law being questioned, so he impatiently interjected. Autumn smoothly shifted her gaze back to her father, her tone cool and collected. "Then why did you ask me to come?" Autumn's calm demeanor was like a thorn in Oliver's side.

He was at his breaking point, so what gave her the right to be so unruffled? "Do I need a reason to call you home? Autumn, have you forgotten you're a Lopez? Do you even remember how to act like a daughter anymore?" In the chaos of familial turmoil and emotional upheaval, Autumn finds herself at a crossroads, caught between the tumultuous world of Lydia's drama and her own sense of identity. As she steps into the Lopez villa, the weight of her father's expectations presses down on her, challenging her resolve to remain detached from the chaos she once thrived on.

Autumn's determination to rise above the petty squabbles and her father's disappointment reveals a growing sense of self-awareness.
