Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below **Chapter 188** A collective gasp echoed through the grand hall, the sound so intense it felt as if it could shatter the very chandeliers hanging above. "So, is it true? Autumn Lopez's baby actually belongs to some random guy?" The atmosphere shifted dramatically after Autumn unveiled the undeniable evidence of Mars and Lydia's affair.

In an instant, everything that Mrs. Lopez and Lydia had claimed earlier was laid bare, revealing their desperate attempts to tarnish Autumn's reputation. It became glaringly obvious that Lydia, cornered and filled with guilt, was merely trying to deflect attention away from her own wrongdoing. But what truly ignited the crowd's excitement was Mrs. Lopez's audacity to confront Autumn directly, doubling down on her accusations. Whispers filled the air: Whose baby was nestled within Autumn's womb?

The audience was hungry for the complete story, and they were determined to uncover every detail tonight. "Mom, please, stop!" Mars felt a wave of humiliation wash over him, his dirty laundry displayed for all to see. The moment he caught sight of his mother-in-law, ready to weaponize Autumn's pregnancy against her, a surge of instinct kicked in. He needed to put a stop to this madness. I know Autumn. The fact that she had quietly initiated divorce proceedings and meticulously gathered evidence of my affair with Lydia spoke volumes about her character.

She would not let this slide; she had no tolerance for betrayal. The feeling of being outmaneuvered by Autumn made his skin crawl and his heart race. And now, his mother-in-law was about to bring the baby into the fray. If Autumn discovers that the baby isn't hers, who knows what she might do? Right now, the priority was to regain control of the situation, find a way to usher these gawking guests out, and avoid a direct confrontation with Autumn. She had them cornered, and there was no way to spin this in their favor!

If they attempted to twist the narrative, Mars's reputation within their social circle would be irreparably damaged. A comeback would be utterly impossible. Mars was resolute; he would not allow that to happen. But Mrs. Lopez was seething with rage. How could she possibly heed his pleas? With a trembling finger, she pointed accusingly at Autumn's stomach, and if it weren't for the guests holding her back, she looked poised to lunge forward. "How dare you humiliate my daughter like this, Autumn!

I was far too generous to you!" "I should have kicked you out the moment you stepped foot in our home!" "I provided you with shelter and meals, and this is how you repay my kindness? I raised an ungrateful snake!" Mrs. Lopez's tirade only elicited laughter from Autumn. "You think you gave me a roof and food?" In the audience, Oliver Lopez felt his heart plummet. He had kept himself out of the confrontation, preoccupied with soothing his own young mistress. Besides, his affection for Autumn had dwindled to almost nothing, so he had silently backed his wife and stepdaughter's actions.

He had thought it was game over for Autumn tonight, but he never anticipated her stunning comeback. As the conflict escalated between Autumn and Mrs. Lopez, Oliver sprang to his feet. "Enough of this!" "Today is Mars's birthday. What do you think you're doing, creating such a scene?" As the head of the household, his authority carried more weight than Mars's. Mrs. Lopez faltered, momentarily silenced by his intervention. But Lydia was not about to let this opportunity slip away.

She had already set her sights on Mars as her ticket to a better future-even if he was merely a stepping stone-and this was the ideal moment to sever his ties with Autumn for good. Then she could smoothly take her place. She understood Autumn's nature well. Even after dealing Mars such a crushing blow, there was a chance she might soften if he came crawling back later. The fact that Autumn was carrying the baby indicated a sentimental side to her character. What if Mars used the child as leverage to win her back? What if she actually agreed to remarry him?

Lydia would never permit that to happen. "Dad, just let Mom speak," Lydia interjected, her voice rising. "After a disaster like this, do you really think our family can ever be whole again?" Lydia's words sidestepped any acknowledgment of her affair with Mars. But they also didn't deny it. To the public, she merely appeared as a heartbroken girl whose boyfriend's birthday party had devolved into chaos, with her mother now at odds with her stepsister. Polite society placed immense value on appearances, and many guests were starting to view Autumn as classless.

Her aggressive demeanor was unsettling, and hushed whispers began to circulate among them. This was precisely the outcome Lydia had hoped for. Autumn might have seized the moral high ground, but she was underestimating the complexities of human nature. The attendees tonight were the elite; they weren't like an anonymous mob online, easily swayed into rash decisions. So, while Autumn seemed to have emerged victorious, she was still utterly isolated. If I play my cards right, Lydia mused, I can still be the one who walks away triumphant tonight.

With calculated poise, Lydia bit her lip and continued, "My sister has orchestrated this entire spectacle for her own selfish reasons. Dad, regardless of the truth, what Mom just said wasn't entirely incorrect." "Hasn't our family done enough for her? We provided her with a top-tier education. The moment she graduated, you handed her the company. We never complained when you used our family's business to support Mars. Are you not satisfied unless you've scorched everyone's lives?" Lydia closed the distance to Autumn, embodying the perfect victim.

"Autumn, I know you've never been fond of me, but we are family. Do we really need to create this much chaos?" As Autumn observed Lydia's approach, a nagging feeling in her gut warned her that this act was leading to something sinister. But she found herself backed against the edge of the stage, with no room to retreat. All she could do was watch as Lydia leaned in, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper meant solely for Autumn's ears. "Autumn, do you genuinely believe you've won?" "It seems you still don't understand, do you? The baby growing inside you...

was conceived from my egg." "In simpler terms, that precious baby you're nurturing is mine and Mars's." With that, Lydia finished her taunt, wearing a smug expression as she watched Autumn's reaction. She was confident that no woman could endure such a revelation without cracking. Lydia wanted nothing more than for Autumn to unravel in front of everyone. The evidence of the affair was too damning; she knew any attempt to dismiss it would be futile. Her only recourse now was to create an even bigger scandal to overshadow the first one.

Once Autumn lost her composure, Lydia would make a dramatic exit from the stage, redirecting everyone's concern toward a potential crisis rather than the infidelity. As the instigator, Autumn would no longer be seen as the victim who uncovered her husband's affair with her stepsister; she would be labeled as an unhinged harpy, an aggressor who couldn't let go of her grievances. The more Lydia contemplated her plan, the more brilliant it appeared. She leaned in closer to Autumn, poised to take the fall. But to her utter disbelief, Autumn remained completely unfazed.

Lydia was taken aback, her mind racing. Forgetting the presence of the crowd, she gasped, "You couldn't have known already, could you? When did you find out?" Autumn met her gaze with a small, knowing smile. "Please, direct your attention to the main screen." Conclusion As the tension in the hall reached a fever pitch, the atmosphere shifted once more, this time infused with a sense of empowerment that radiated from Autumn.

The revelation of Lydia's manipulations and the truth behind the baby's parentage hung in the air like a heavy fog, but Autumn stood firm, no longer the victim of circumstance. The echoes of Mrs. Lopez's accusations faded into the background as the audience turned their focus to the screen, where the evidence of Lydia's deceit was about to be unveiled. In that moment, Autumn felt a surge of liberation wash over her; she had wrested back control of her narrative, transforming from a woman scorned into a force of undeniable strength.

The laughter that once mocked her now felt like a distant memory, replaced by a collective anticipation that electrified the room. In the wake of the confrontation, the emotional arc that had spiraled through chaos and betrayal began to settle into a newfound clarity. Autumn, once isolated and cornered, now stood at the precipice of reclaiming her identity and dignity. The whispers that had once sought to diminish her were now replaced by a chorus of support, as the guests realized the true nature of the battle unfolding before them.

In the upcoming chapter, readers can expect the tension to escalate as the spotlight shifts dramatically onto the main screen, where Autumn has prepared a shocking revelation that could change the course of this tumultuous evening. With Lydia's taunts echoing in the air, the anticipation builds as the audience wonders what Autumn has in store. Will the evidence she presents solidify her position, or will it backfire spectacularly? The stakes are high, and every character's fate hangs in the balance as the truth threatens to unravel the carefully constructed facades of the Lopez family.

As the crowd gasps in unison, the dynamics of power and control will be put to the ultimate test. Mars, caught between two fierce women, must decide whether to support Autumn or succumb to the manipulations of Lydia and his mother. Meanwhile, Mrs. Lopez's fury is bound to reach new heights as she grapples with the implications of Autumn's revelations.
