Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below **Chapter 159** Oliver Lopez's fury erupted like a volcano when the news reached him. Those men had unleashed a torrent of violence; it felt as if he had been teetering on the very edge of death itself. And that insufferable daughter of his, instead of seeking justice on his behalf, had audaciously chosen to bail them out.
The mere thought of wrapping his hands around Autumn's neck sent a shiver of rage coursing through him. Yet, Autumn remained unfazed. Not only did she post their bail, but she also showered them with a variety of lavish gifts and generous cash bonuses. Initially, the men hesitated, their pride warring with their greed, but Autumn's insistence that it was merely a token of her gratitude for their "assistance" eventually swayed them to accept. Once that was settled, Autumn wasted no time in reaching out to Julian Moore.
The story needed to break; she was determined to ensure it was framed just right, with the perfect details woven in. Mars Wright must have been released from the police station, as his phone began to buzz incessantly with calls from him. Autumn, however, chose to ignore each and every one. With every unanswered call, his desperation grew, and his texts became increasingly frantic. Autumn allowed herself to glance at a few but ultimately silenced her phone, refusing to let his chaos invade her peace. Meanwhile, back at the hospital, Mars winced as a nurse gingerly tended to his wounds.
The realization that his messages had gone unanswered weighed heavily on him, his heart sinking into a pit of despair. He felt as though he were adrift at sea, tossed by the waves of Autumn's cold indifference. This was a new territory for them; they had never found themselves in such a bitter standoff, regardless of how heated their previous arguments had been. Autumn had always insisted that they should never let anger linger overnight. "It's toxic for the relationship," she had said with a fierce conviction. He never imagined she could harbor such deep-seated rage.
"Ouch-" A sudden, sharp pain from his injury jolted Mars from his spiraling thoughts. He glared at the nurse, irritation bubbling to the surface. "Do you even know what you're doing? If you don't, go fetch someone who does!" The nurse paused, meeting his gaze with an unflinching stare before placing the medicine down. "Alright then," she replied coolly, "we'll get someone else." Mars's eyes widened in disbelief. He was a young entrepreneur with a successful career and a decent appearance. Usually, he could feel the admiring gazes of women wherever he went.
But today, his charm seemed to have evaporated. Had they really disfigured his face that badly? The thought sent a wave of panic through him, and he stood abruptly, determined to find a mirror in the restroom to assess the damage. However, just as he reached the door, he overheard the same nurse venting her frustrations. "That clueless, worthless scumbag. Hooking up with his own sister-in-law and still having the audacity to bark orders at us. Does he think he's some kind of royalty just because he's halfway decent-looking? If he wants someone else, let him suffer!

These scumbags really believe the world revolves around them!" "They went too easy on him. If I were there, I would have kicked him right in the balls!" A chill crawled down Mars's spine. The nursing staff was predominantly female, and upon learning of his scandalous involvement with his sister-in-law, any lingering affection they might have had for him evaporated. The way they regarded him now was akin to viewing something repugnant. Suddenly, he felt a wave of cowardice wash over him.
He had just been brutalized by an angry mob; now he was genuinely afraid that these nurses might turn violent as well. Every part of his body throbbed with pain. He never wanted to relive the experience of being curled up on the ground, absorbing blow after blow, ever again. With a heavy heart, Mars retreated back into his hospital room. As he had suspected, no other nurse came to attend to his wounds. On any other day, he would have wasted no time in filing a complaint. But in this moment, all he could think about was finding Autumn. There was no space in his mind for anything else.
He called his company, but his assistant informed him that Autumn hadn't set foot in the office for days. They had no clue where she could be. Someone on the line, known for their bluntness, asked, "Don't we have two new secretaries now? Isn't that sufficient for you?" Mars hung up the phone in silence, frustration simmering within him. How could he possibly articulate that those two secretaries combined didn't hold a candle to Autumn's worth? For the very first time, Mars felt the weight of his self-sabotage.
Had Autumn experienced this same sense of helplessness and isolation during all those nights he failed to come home? Suddenly, a desperate need to find her consumed him. Ignoring the pain from his injuries, he snatched his car keys, stormed out of the hospital, and began a relentless search for Autumn's friends, hoping to uncover her whereabouts. But after driving across the city, he realized that Autumn had devoted all her time and energy to nurturing Cloudbreak over the years. She had lost touch with nearly all her college friends.
Moreover, due to their young marriage, even her acquaintances in the business realm had kept a professional distance. When he approached the wife of a wealthy investor, she merely rolled her eyes at him. "You're her husband, and you don't know where she is? What makes you think I would?" "I always knew you were trouble, but your wife always defended you." "You were oblivious, weren't you? One time, your wife came to discuss business with my husband. I mistook her for his mistress and nearly confronted her." "I know my husband.
He'll pursue anything that moves, so everyone else keeps their distance. But back then, your company needed funding. Your wife had to fend off that old lecher while enduring all the vicious rumors and misunderstandings from people like me. Do you have any idea how much pressure she was under?" "Honestly, it makes me wonder. How much equity did you give her? For her to work so tirelessly for the company... it was inspiring to witness. In the end, I was the one who convinced my husband to invest in you." Autumn had gone through all of that? Mars froze in place, shock washing over him.
He had once cared deeply about Cloudbreak; after all, it was his only chance at establishing himself. But as the company flourished and Lydia re-entered the picture, temptations multiplied, and Mars had gradually diverted his attention away from the business. He had assumed Cloudbreak was thriving on its own. He had never realized that its success was built upon Autumn's unwavering dedication. Seeing the realization dawn on his face, the investor's wife let out a derisive laugh.
"What, don't tell me you were unaware of all this?" Mars's lips moved, but he struggled to find the words to explain. The derision in her eyes deepened, cutting him to the core. "If I were Autumn, I'd divorce you and take half the company." The words struck Mars like a thunderbolt. "That's impossible!" he shouted, his voice cracking under the weight of his emotions. "She would never divorce me!" The woman's contempt for him only intensified. "Why not? So she can stick around while you betray her?" "Mars, have a conscience. Ask yourself, have you truly never betrayed Autumn?
She built this company for you, she envisioned a family with you, and what did you give her in return?" A decaying marriage and an unforgivable betrayal... Panic flooded Mars's features. He wasn't sure if he was addressing the woman or himself. "I won't divorce her. I swear, I'll make it up to her." Conclusion In the tumultuous aftermath of betrayal and anger, both Oliver and Mars found themselves grappling with the consequences of their actions, each trapped in a cycle of despair and regret.
Oliver's fury had blinded him to the complexities of his daughter's choices, while Mars, consumed by his own self-sabotage, struggled to comprehend the depths of Autumn's sacrifices for their shared dreams. As he ventured out into the city, desperately searching for her, the weight of his ignorance became painfully clear. Autumn had been the backbone of their aspirations, tirelessly nurturing Cloudbreak while he had drifted away, distracted by fleeting desires and superficial accolades.
The realization of his negligence pierced through him like a dagger, awakening a fierce determination to reclaim the love he had taken for granted. Meanwhile, Autumn stood resolute in her decision to seek justice on her own terms, her actions a testament to her strength and independence. By choosing to support those who had wronged her father, she was not only defying his expectations but also carving out her own path, one that demanded respect and recognition.
In the upcoming chapter, readers can expect the tension between Mars and Autumn to reach a boiling point. With Mars now fully aware of the sacrifices Autumn made for Cloudbreak, his desperate quest to find her will take him down a path of self-discovery and reckoning. As he grapples with the weight of his past decisions, he must confront not only the consequences of his actions but also the deep-seated emotions that have kept him from truly understanding Autumn. Will he find the courage to apologize and seek forgiveness, or will his pride push him further away?
Simultaneously, Autumn's motivations will be explored in greater depth. As she continues to manipulate the narrative surrounding her father's attackers and their release, her internal struggles will be laid bare. What drives her to act so defiantly against her father's wishes? Will her desire for justice overshadow her relationship with Mars, or will she find a way to reconcile her actions with her feelings for him?
