THE DAY I QUIT HIM NOVEL

So that's what this was about . Autumn Lopez finally understood why she'd been caught up in this mess . Mars Wright , oh , Mars Wright , you're a walking disaster ! Autumn clutched her stomach and told them the truth . " I had no idea what Mars did . He took the money to support his little mistress , so coming after me is useless . " " Besides , we're already divorced . " " Divorced ? " The men were clearly out of the loop . They probably didn't know what had been happening with Cloudbreak Corporation recently , since they had to stay off the grid .

Autumn gave a cool nod and explained how she'd found out about Mars's affair and tricked him into signing the divorce papers . " The divorce was finalized today . According to my original plan , I should be on my way to deliver the divorce certificate to him right now . " " Mrs. Wright , you've got some serious guts . " " Mr. Wright is a real piece of work . Having a great wife like you and not appreciating it . " " We're not unreasonable guys . Since this has nothing to do with you , Mrs. Wright , I'll contact my boss now and see how we should handle this .

" Autumn was surprised they had some principles , a thought that almost made her laugh bitterly . What principles could you expect from guys like these ? They probably just wanted to avoid any more trouble. After all , their business was shady enough . If they ended up with a body on their hands , they'd be past the point of no return . " Our boss said we should take you to the event , Ms. Lopez . " Who knew what their boss had said to him , but the man had even changed how he addressed her . Autumn didn't miss the flicker of respect in the man's eyes .

It struck her as odd , but with time running out , she didn't dwell on it . Right now , only one thought consumed her- 1/4 I have to get there as fast as I can and tear that scumbag Mars and that bitch Lydia to shreds ! " Thanks . " Her phone was returned to her . She unlocked the screen and saw it was flooded with missed calls and unread messages . She glanced through them and saw Mars's tone shift from sweet and expectant to furious and unhinged . His latest message was a threat . [ Autumn , so this explains why you've been so hot and cold lately ! This is what you were planning !

I'm warning you , if you don't show up now , don't ever show up again . We're getting a divorce ! ] It seemed her not showing up on time had really humiliated Mars , to the point where he was now demanding a divorce . Autumn snapped a photo of the divorce certificate and sent it . [No need to shout . We're already divorced ! ] After sending it , she turned off her phone , ignoring whatever furious rant would come next . In the hotel , Mars finally got a reply from Autumn , only to find it was a picture of their divorce certificate .

The two familiar faces in the photo instantly pulled his memory back to when they had just gotten married . Autumn was always full of drive . The moment they were married , she started planning their future . Mars had initially just been using her , but seeing how orderly his life became after they married and how his career was steadily advancing , he couldn't help but be moved . But later ... Mars lowered his gaze , the anger in his heart vanishing without a trace . He really had wronged Autumn in this marriage . He had let her down .

Mars opened their chat and sent a voice message , his tone so gentle it was like he was a different person . " Autumn , I know you're mad . I shouldn't have said that. I was wrong to threaten you with divorce . Didn't we agree you'd be here for my birthday , and we'd make things work afterward ? Please , hurry and come , okay ? I really can't do this without you ." " And with so many people here today , are you really going to make me host them all by myself ? It's my birthday , you can't do this to me . " By the end , his voice had a pleading , almost childish tone .

But his message was met with total silence . Autumn didn't reply at all . Mars was stunned , as if her message had been a figment of his imagination . 2/4 Chapter 182 But a closer look confirmed it : the photo from Autumn was still there . So jarring he couldn't bear to look at it a second time . Knock , knock , knock . At the sound of the knock , Mars quickly put his phone away and rushed to the door , his face lit up with joy . " Is that you , Autumn ? " Standing outside was Lydia Lopez , wearing a mask and a hat .

She could only show up like this at an event like today's , and she was already seething with resentment . Hearing Mars still obsessing over Autumn was the last straw . Lydia snapped . " Autumn , Autumn , is she the only person you can think about ? " How ridiculous . If he loved her so much , why did he cheat in the first place ? When Mars saw it wasn't Autumn at the door , the joy on his face slowly faded to indifference . An indifference tinged with disgust . " What are you doing here ? " Mars's eyes swept over Lydia . Dressed like that , she had none of her former gentle beauty .

She looked more like some desperate paparazzi who had snuck in . He felt embarrassed and instinctively took a step back , putting distance between them , afraid someone might misunderstand their relationship . That single step back from Mars wounded Lydia deeply . Even though she already knew he was unreliable . But watching him show such open disgust - not even wanting to be seen in the same frame as her - made something inside her snap . " What am I doing ? If I hadn't come , how were you planning to clean up this mess ? Has your precious Autumn shown up yet ? " " Isn't it hilarious ?

The great Mr. Wright is throwing a party , and Mrs. Wright is nowhere to be found . You might be able to handle the humiliation , Mars , but the Lopez family can't . " Mars heard the underlying threat in her words . His brow furrowed as he asked impatiently , " What are you planning to do ? " Lydia gave Mars a mysterious smile . " You'll find out what we're going to do soon enough . " 3/4 " Mars , we're doing this to help you . You'll thank us for it . " A bad feeling washed over Mars as he heard her words .

But before he could even ask , Lydia had already turned and hurried toward the main hall . As the president of Cloudbreak Corporation , the business world's newest dark horse , Mars Wright's birthday party was a star - studded affair . Everyone who was anyone , whether in business or not , had pulled strings to get an invitation and showed up . The biggest names in business had even paid him the respect of attending in person , a testament to Cloudbreak's influence . Fearing Lydia would do something irreversible , Mars quickly chased after her . But he was a step too late .

Lydia was already on the stage , microphone in hand , her expression grave . " I'm so sorry to have to share some incredibly infuriating and painful news on such a joyous occasion ." " Mr. Wright's wife - my own sister - has betrayed her marriage to Mars ."
