Yet, hearing him vocalize his thoughts sent an icy tremor through her. Oliver, her father, was a man who yearned to bask in the glow of success without ever shouldering an ounce of responsibility. How could he possibly believe that life could be so uncomplicated? His manipulation was not just transparent; it was almost comical in its audacity. "Enough with the nonsense. I'm simply looking out for you.

I'm your father, for heaven's sake! You think I'd ever want to harm you? Besides, I'm not wrong. If Owen Bennett decides he's not interested anymore and leaves you stranded, don't you think you'll need a safety net?" he argued, his voice a mix of feigned concern and self-serving logic. Autumn's heart raced, her frustration bubbling to the surface. "If I were to confront the Bennett Group on your behalf, wouldn't I be dragging our entire family down with me?" "Autumn, you've been married before.

Surely you understand that I have your best interests at heart, right?" he pressed, his tone laced with a manipulative sweetness. "Let's not delve into hypotheticals. Just take what I said seriously for once," she shot back, her impatience palpable. "When the baby arrives, I'll have your mom come to care for you while you recover," he continued, as if his plans were the most logical course of action. "Who could possibly care for you better than your own family?" he added, his voice dripping with insincerity. Autumn could take no more.

"That's enough!" she interrupted, her voice sharp and cutting through the air like a knife. "You want that woman to come 'take care' of me? Is she coming to help me heal, or is she just planning to finish me off while I'm vulnerable?" "I've let you play the fool long enough, just as you have throughout my entire life. I stopped expecting any genuine affection from you ages ago. But since you insist on pushing my buttons, I might as well lay it all out for you," he retorted, his facade slipping. "I don't want Mars Wright. I don't want Cloudbreak Corporation.

And I certainly don't want you, this pathetic excuse for a father," she declared, her voice steady with conviction. "You better engrave my words into your mind. I won't always be this polite about it. You saw what happened to Mars. I know just as much of the Lopez family's dirty secrets as you do. If you push me too far, I'll find a very public platform to air it all out, so everyone can witness the kind of man you truly are!" Oliver's face contorted with rage, nearly choking on his anger. "What are you saying? Autumn, do you even have a conscience?

How can you speak to me like that?" "What dirty secrets? You're just spewing lies!" he snapped, desperation creeping into his voice. Autumn let out a cold, mirthless laugh. "Am I? So, that video of you and Lydia's mother fooling around next to my mom's hospital bed is just a figment of my imagination?" "I also have footage of Lydia throwing herself at Mars, using every trick in the book to get into his bed," she continued, her voice steady and chilling.

"Do you think if I sold this material, I could fetch a pretty penny for it?" Oliver was momentarily stunned, his phone almost slipping from his grasp. "How do you have those things?" he stammered, panic flashing in his eyes. The moment the words escaped his lips, he realized he had made a grave error. He pressed his lips together, momentarily at a loss for words. Autumn, however, was ablaze with fury. She truly possessed incriminating evidence regarding the affair between Lydia and Mars. But the allegation about her father and stepmother?

That was a fabrication, conjured in a moment of heated desperation. She had been too young to witness any such incident; if a video existed, it would never have reached her hands. Moreover, she had never pursued the truth over the years, so she remained blissfully ignorant. Yet, in the heat of the moment, she decided to wield it as a weapon, a way to twist the knife deeper into Oliver's heart. She never anticipated her bluff would land with such force. That monster! Her father was indeed a true villain!

He had the audacity to bring his mistress to her mother's deathbed and engage in such disgraceful behavior! No wonder Autumn recalled the doctors repeatedly stating that her mother had lost the will to live. To be betrayed by her own husband-if she had been in her mother's shoes, she wouldn't have wanted to carry on either. But she would never have simply faded away in silence. Even if she knew death was imminent, she would have concocted a plan to drag that scoundrel and that wretched woman down to hell with her. "Autumn... sweetheart...

about what happened back then, I truly let your mother down..." Realizing the leverage Autumn now held, Oliver dropped his charade and began his insincere confession. "Honestly, I regretted it the moment it happened. Especially when the doctors informed me of your mother's limited time left." "I reflected on it often during that period. I wanted to take good care of you, to provide your mother with some peace of mind. But you know me-I'm just a rough man focused on work and making money. What do I know about raising a child? I thought, since your mother was already...

it would be better to marry her. That way, she wouldn't cause any trouble, and someone would be there to look after you. I honestly had no idea that all those years..." As she listened to him, it became painfully clear. He had been acutely aware of how his new wife tormented her. This time, Autumn couldn't muster a laugh. In truth, it wasn't until she matured and encountered various individuals that the truth began to dawn on her. For instance, no matter how well-behaved she was, her stepmother would never accept her as a true daughter.

In fact, the more she succeeded, the more her stepmother's disdain seemed to grow. Autumn understood the reasons behind it, but she had still grown up in the Lopez household. Surely, one would form a bond with a dog they raised, wouldn't they? she had often thought. They had cohabited for so many years without significant conflict. She didn't desire much-just to study diligently and lead a fulfilling life. Her stepmother had effectively usurped her mother's role, and Lydia had emerged as the cherished Miss Lopez. Autumn had hoped that perhaps the grudges of the past would dissipate.

Even if they couldn't become a tightly-knit family, surely they could coexist peacefully. But she had never realized that to them, her lack of resistance was perceived as weakness, a sign of capitulation. And that only fueled their relentless schemes to exploit her further. It wasn't enough that all her hard-earned money was funneled back into the family; they even sought to steal her husband. Before the rise of Cloudbreak Corporation, Lydia wouldn't have given Mars a second glance.

But as soon as the company went public, she concocted a myriad of excuses to get closer to him, successfully ensnaring him in her web. Through it all, Oliver and her stepmother were fully aware and even facilitated the affair. They never felt an ounce of shame or guilt about a sister stealing her older sister's husband-only the satisfaction of achieving their goal. Now that Autumn had provided them with what they desired, casting Mars aside, they were suddenly discontent once again. "I've always wanted to ask you something," Autumn said, her voice barely above a whisper.

A knot of apprehension tightened within Oliver's gut. "Wh-what is it?" he stammered, his heart racing. Autumn didn't mince words. She finally posed the question that had haunted her for years. "Am I your biological daughter?" Oliver froze in place. His initial reaction was one of rage, but as he contemplated, guilt began to wash over him. "Wh-why would you ask that?" he replied, his voice trembling. His reaction provided Autumn with all the confirmation she needed. A bitter, hollow laugh escaped her lips.

Though she wished not to waste her sorrow on such loathsome individuals, a pang of grief pierced her heart. "If given the choice, I would prefer not to be your daughter." "No father in the world is like you, and no daughter could have been more of a doormat than I was." "The way you all treated me in the past... I repaid your cruelty with kindness. I consider my filial duties fulfilled. From this point forward, our accounts are settled." "Let's leave it at that. Don't come seeking me with any more schemes. I am no longer part of your family. Let's go our separate ways.

Don't force my hand against the Lopez family. Believe me, if I do, you won't be able to bear the consequences." Conclusion In the aftermath of their explosive confrontation, Autumn stood resolute, her heart heavy yet liberated. The weight of a lifetime of manipulation and betrayal had finally been cast aside, replaced by a fierce determination to reclaim her identity. No longer would she be a pawn in her father's twisted game, nor would she allow the toxic dynamics of her family to dictate her worth. The anger that had once consumed her now transformed into a powerful sense of self.

Autumn's declaration marked not just a severing of ties but a rebirth; she was no longer the doormat that Oliver had expected her to be. Instead, she emerged as a woman who understood her value and was prepared to carve her own path, free from the shadows of her past. As Autumn walked away from the remnants of her childhood home, a profound sense of peace enveloped her. The autumn leaves danced around her, mirroring the newfound lightness in her heart. She had confronted her demons, faced the truth of her father's shortcomings, and declared her independence with unwavering conviction.

The stakes have never been higher, and the emotional fallout from her confrontation with Oliver will reverberate throughout her relationships, leaving her to question not only her past but also her future. As Autumn delves deeper into her quest for self-discovery, she will confront the ghosts of her upbringing and the painful truths that have long been buried. Will she find the strength to sever the ties that bind her to her father's manipulative grasp, or will the allure of familial loyalty draw her back into a web of deceit?

The chapter promises to explore the complexities of forgiveness and the struggle for autonomy, as Autumn navigates the treacherous waters of betrayal and the pursuit of peace. With the threat of her father's retaliation looming, readers will be left on the edge of their seats, eager to see how Autumn's choices will shape her destiny and whether she can finally chase the light she so desperately seeks. admin
