Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below **Chapter 146** Autumn stood before Hannah King, unfazed by the venomous words that poured from her mouth like a bitter poison. The disdain that Hannah harbored for her was no secret; it had been evident from their very first encounter. Each time their paths crossed, Hannah unleashed a torrent of passive-aggressive jabs, each one sharper and more cutting than the last.

Now, as the tangled web of relationships surrounding Mars Wright unraveled, Hannah found herself in the uncomfortable position of being the other woman, while Autumn held the esteemed title of Mars's legitimate wife. For someone as proud and self-important as Hannah, this reality must have been a bitter pill to swallow. But did it truly matter to Autumn? A slight, almost enigmatic smile tugged at the corners of Autumn's lips, her calm demeanor a stark contrast to the palpable hostility radiating from Hannah.

To Autumn, Hannah was nothing more than a pawn on a chessboard, a necessary piece in the intricate game she was playing during the divorce cooling-off period. She needed Hannah and Mars to engage in a fierce battle of emotions, ensuring that she could navigate these final days unscathed. Patience was her ally, and Autumn was more than willing to wield it against Hannah. "What are you smiling at?" Hannah snapped, her eye twitching with irritation. Confusion flickered across her face as she witnessed Autumn's unshakable composure in the wake of her biting remark.

Hannah instinctively glanced over her shoulder, a wave of relief washing over her when she realized Mars was not lurking nearby. But what could possibly be the source of Autumn's smugness? Her frown deepened as she scrutinized Autumn with renewed intensity, the gears of her mind whirring. In that moment, she recognized the stark transformation in the woman standing before her. During their previous encounter at the villa, her thoughts had been clouded with betrayal, fixated on how Autumn could have possibly betrayed Mars.

She had failed to observe Autumn's state of being, but now it was undeniable. Autumn exuded an aura of sophistication and poise that was impossible to ignore. The remnants of naivety and immaturity had vanished, replaced by an unyielding confidence that suggested she was acutely aware of her power in this situation. Ignoring Hannah's question, Autumn's mind was focused elsewhere. She hadn't come here to engage in a petty argument; that energy was better spent on finding a moment of peace and rest.

Being dismissed by Autumn only fueled Hannah's rage, her cheeks flushing crimson before draining of color. "Autumn, what's that supposed to mean?" Hannah's voice trembled with frustration as her hands clenched into fists at her sides, a physical manifestation of her rising anger. "Are you looking down on me?" While her encounters with Mars had brought her fleeting pleasure, standing before Autumn made her feel like a mere shadow in the life of the man she desired. The realization ignited a fierce fire in her belly, a direct assault on her pride.

But then a thought struck her: Autumn had cheated too. Her hands weren't clean either. What gave her the right to exude such calmness in Hannah's presence? Did she truly believe Hannah wouldn't spill the beans to Mars? "Why should I respect you?" Autumn met Hannah's gaze with an air of tranquility, her voice steady and composed. "Professionally speaking, Cloudbreak Corporation is my husband's domain, and I hold shares in it. You're merely a chief secretary, occupying half of a position that was once mine.

Do you really believe you've earned my respect?" "And on a personal level, you've always come after me over some man for reasons I can't fathom. We've never been on good terms, so why would I greet you with anything other than indifference?" Hannah's fury was palpable, her nose twitching in indignation. Yet, each word Autumn spoke rang true, leaving Hannah at a loss for a response. "Isn't this all your sister's fault?

If Lydia Lopez hadn't been so desperate to work at Cloudbreak, the chief secretary position wouldn't have been split in two." Recognizing the precariousness of her argument, Hannah resorted to unfounded accusations, grasping at straws. Autumn rolled her eyes, dismissing the idea of wasting more breath on Hannah. She placed a hand on her stomach, ready to retreat to the waiting area for a moment of solace, when Hannah marched toward her, blocking her path. "Don't get too cocky, Autumn.

What do you think Mars will do when he discovers you cheated?" Autumn turned to Hannah, a smirk playing on her lips, amusement dancing in her eyes. "Then why haven't you told him?" Hannah froze, caught off guard by the unexpected challenge. "You think I lack the courage?" In truth, she did. But admitting that was out of the question. Autumn saw right through her bravado, and with a derisive snort, she taunted, "Go ahead, spill the beans if you wish.

Let's see if Mars takes me out first, or if Owen Bennett comes after you." The weight of Autumn's words hung in the air like a dark cloud, and Hannah shuddered, her gaze dropping as silence enveloped them. The Bennett Group, the formidable force behind Owen Bennett, was a source of genuine fear for Hannah. Her motives for approaching Lydia had always been self-serving. If she had truly wanted to, she could have easily informed Lydia about Autumn's affair. After her return to the country, she had diligently researched Owen Bennett, all in a bid to get close to him.

No one understood better than Hannah just how powerful that man was. Her plan had been simple: once Lydia discovered Autumn's infidelity, she would undoubtedly investigate, and when the truth surfaced, Hannah King would emerge unscathed. If Owen Bennett sought vengeance, he would never trace it back to her. Who could have anticipated that Lydia's initial reaction to the revelation would be to keep it under wraps? With her scheme thwarted, Hannah was left with no choice but to feign cooperation with Lydia.

In reality, she couldn't stand the thought of being associated with such a foolish woman. "Sis?" Just as the tension reached a boiling point, the elevator doors slid open once more. This time, it was Lydia who stepped out, her presence commanding attention. She was quite the performer. The instant she spotted Autumn, she glided over and affectionately linked her arm through Autumn's, a calculated move to assert her dominance. Autumn's mouth twitched with annoyance, longing to shake free from Lydia's grasp.

But Lydia seemed to anticipate her resistance and pressed closer, invading her personal space. "Sis, you're here! Why didn't you inform me? I would have rushed down to greet you." Autumn offered Lydia a half-hearted smile, her sarcasm evident as she replied, "I wouldn't dare. If our dear old Dad found out I made you come down to meet me, he'd probably make me kneel and apologize." Lydia hadn't expected such bluntness, especially in the presence of Hannah. She paused momentarily, caught off guard, before forcing out an awkward laugh. "What are you saying? Dad adores you, sis.

He would never be so harsh." Autumn simply smiled, saying nothing further. A flicker of hatred flashed in Lydia's eyes as she thought, I thought Hannah was our common enemy. No matter how much Autumn may dislike me, shouldn't she at least play along? We're sisters facing a significant threat; we should present a united front. Who knew Autumn could be so oblivious? She really is an ungrateful snake. Dad's treatment of her was far too lenient! Lydia mentally composed several versions of the story, determined to report back to their father later.

She could endure criticism from anyone, but not from Autumn! Autumn belonged beneath her heel. Unless she was dead, Autumn had no right to act so defiantly in her presence. "By the way, sis, what brings you here today?" Lydia's smile was laced with malice. Though she yearned to pull Autumn to her side to confront Hannah together, her guard against Autumn remained unwavering. Since Autumn had relinquished the chief secretary position, what was she doing back at the company? Did she regret her decision? "I'm here to see-" "Ms. Lopez!" The assistant finally arrived, panting heavily.

Upon spotting the two women from the earlier phone call encircling Autumn, his glasses nearly slipped from his nose. "Secretary Autumn, Secretary King, what are you two doing here?" The assistant was incredulous; just a minute late and he had stumbled into this three-way standoff. His world felt like it was crumbling around him. And as if fate had a cruel sense of humor, just as he posed the question, Mars Wright emerged from the elevator, his presence instantly shifting the dynamics of the room.

The air crackled with unresolved tension, a palpable energy that hinted at the storm brewing beneath the surface. As the elevator doors closed behind him, Mars's gaze swept over the trio, and in that moment, Autumn felt a rush of anticipation. She had navigated the treacherous waters of betrayal and hostility, and now, she stood ready to confront whatever lay ahead. The stage was set for a confrontation that would redefine their relationships and possibly alter the course of their lives. Autumn's heart raced, not with fear, but with a fierce determination.

She was no longer simply chasing light; she was prepared to embrace it, knowing that true peace lay not in the absence of conflict but in the strength to confront it head-on. Conclusion In this pivotal moment, Autumn stands at the crossroads of her tumultuous journey, embodying a resilience that has transformed her from a victim of betrayal to a woman ready to reclaim her narrative. The tension between her and Hannah, once a source of anxiety, now serves as a catalyst for Autumn's awakening.

With each calculated word exchanged, she sheds the remnants of her past insecurities, embracing the power that comes with self-awareness and acceptance. As Mars enters the scene, the stakes rise, and Autumn's heart pounds not with trepidation but with the exhilarating promise of change. She is no longer merely a participant in the game; she is a contender, ready to face the complexities of her relationships with newfound clarity.
