The festivity that had once filled the air now felt heavy with tension. Just as abruptly as it began, the stream of venomous words pouring from his mouth ceased, leaving a thick silence in its wake.

Autumn Lopez, her heart racing, glanced up in alarm, only to find Owen Bennett standing before Mars, his expression a mix of fury and determination. Without a moment's hesitation, Owen's fist connected with Mars's face, a brutal punctuation to the words that had incited this violence. But one punch was clearly not sufficient to satiate Owen's wrath. He swiftly raised his foot and delivered a brutal kick to Mars's knee, sending him crashing to the ground with a loud thud. As Mars knelt before Autumn, his face contorted in pain, the atmosphere thickened with a sense of impending doom.

"Owen Bennett! Looks like I struck a nerve, didn't I?" Mars spat defiantly, trying to mask his vulnerability. Owen laughed, a harsh sound that echoed in the stunned silence. "Hahaha, I knew it! No ordinary man could handle this, especially not you!" His tone was mocking, filled with a sense of vindication. "Pretty embarrassing, huh, Owen?" Mars shot back, trying to regain some semblance of dignity. "Now everyone knows you have... unique tastes.

That you like picking up-mmmph!" But before he could finish his taunt, Nina, quick-thinking and fierce, seized the nearest object and shoved it into Mars's mouth, silencing him. The crowd was in disbelief. Who would have thought Owen Bennett would throw a punch at his own family's gathering? It was a scandal that would ripple through social circles for weeks to come. After a moment of stunned silence, all eyes shifted toward the elder Bennetts, their expressions a mix of shock and amusement.

Many socialites, their envy of Autumn's second marriage to Owen evident, wore smiles that betrayed their delight at her misfortune. "Well, she's finished," one woman whispered, her voice dripping with malice. "Humiliated by her ex-husband in front of her in-laws... no respectable family would ever accept a daughter-in-law like that." "Especially not the Bennetts," another chimed in, her eyes gleaming with schadenfreude. "When have the Bennetts ever been insulted like this? This is why people in our circle should stick to their own kind.

You never know what kind of trash you're bringing home..." "Isn't that the truth?" came another voice, echoing the sentiments around the room. "And here I thought Owen Bennett, the unreachable ice prince, would end up with a high-society heiress. I guess even a titan like him has a rebellious phase," one socialite remarked, her laughter ringing hollow. "Hahaha, but it makes sense, right? He's still a man. He's seen all the debutantes in our circle; of course, he'd want to try something... different." "Still, you have to admit Autumn is lucky. A public proposal from Owen, a baby on the way...

her future is pretty much set," another added, a hint of envy in her tone. "It's just a shame about the baby. It'll probably be illegitimate," someone muttered, and the others quickly joined in, eager to spread the gossip. "So what if it's illegitimate? That's better than having *her* for a mother, right? If Mrs. Bennett is really like that, people will be talking about her everywhere she goes. If she cared about the kid, she'd have it quietly and then disappear," one woman suggested, her voice laced with disdain. "Exactly," another agreed.

"That's a fair point," many nodded, their whispers growing louder, unaware that Autumn could hear every single word. A chill crept through Autumn, and a sickening feeling twisted in her stomach as she instinctively cradled her belly, panic flooding her senses. What if something was wrong with the baby? She forced herself to breathe deeply, trying to quell the rising tide of fear. "Autumn, what's wrong?" Nina was the first to notice her distress, rushing to her side, concern etched on her face. "Autumn, are you okay?" she pressed, her voice filled with worry.

"Don't scare me like this," Nina added, her brow furrowed in concern. Owen, too, noticed the pallor of Autumn's face, his fierce demeanor softening as he approached her. He pulled out his phone, urgency in his voice. "Slandering people... I think Mr. Wright needs a few days at the Canton Police Station to cool off." The crowd gasped, surprised at Owen's words. After all, Mars had brought tremendous embarrassment upon the Bennetts. Just calling the police seemed far too lenient, a decision that didn't align with the Bennett family's reputation.

"Have someone look into Cloudbreak Corporation," Owen continued, his voice steady. "A CEO like Mr. Wright, who enjoys spreading malicious rumors, probably can't manage his company well. If that's the case, let's find someone who can," he concluded, his tone final. Mars's eyes widened in horror, and he began to struggle against his restraints. "Owen Bennett, what gives you the right?!" "Was anything I said wrong?" Owen shot back, unyielding. "You really are-" "That's enough," Autumn's voice rang out, cutting through the tension like a blade.

Mars's heart raced as he instinctively turned to her, but when his gaze met her icy eyes, he looked away, guilt washing over him. He knew he had crossed a line today. His plan had been simple, yet twisted. I can't live without Autumn. I refuse to accept that we're really divorced. He believed that if he could eliminate this obstacle named Owen, he could win Autumn back through their shared history. She would return to treating him as she once did, and he would still be the celebrated president of Cloudbreak Corporation.

That was why he had deliberately provoked Owen, uttering those hurtful words to incite disdain for Autumn among the guests. Mars knew precisely how much his words would wound her. He did it on purpose, hoping to turn her into a social pariah, so he could swoop in as her savior. He imagined telling her, "Everyone despises you, but I don't." "Autumn, we're meant to be. I was wrong before, and I'll apologize properly. Let's forget the past and return to how things were." The more he contemplated his scheme, the more exhilarated he became.

A newfound courage surged through him, igniting a fire in his heart. He lifted his head, inhaled deeply, and fixed his gaze on Autumn. "Autumn, you see? The Bennetts can't accept our past. They're not from our world. How about this: you give them the baby, we'll pretend none of this ever happened, and you remarry me. We can have our own children." "I promise I'll treat you even better than before. We'll be happier than ever. Okay?" he pleaded, his voice dripping with desperation. With Nina's help, Autumn managed to stand and walk toward Mars.

Owen, sensing her movement, instinctively moved to intercept her, but one look from Autumn froze him in place, compelling him to trust her judgment. The murmurs of the crowd faded into silence as all eyes turned toward Autumn, anticipation hanging thick in the air. Mars watched her approach, each step igniting a torrent of memories within him-the laughter they shared, the struggles they overcame together, and the love that had once bound them. His heart softened at the thought of their past. "Autumn..." he began, his voice barely above a whisper, yearning for a connection that felt distant.

"You-" she interrupted, her voice firm. Before he could finish his thought, she struck him across the face with a resounding slap, the sound echoing through the room and leaving a stunned silence in its wake. Mars froze, disbelief washing over him, mingling with the sting of humiliation. "You hit me?" he asked, his voice trembling with shock. "Why did you hit me? Autumn, do you really not love me at all anymore?" he demanded, his eyes searching hers for any sign of the affection they once shared. Autumn shook her head, her expression resolute.

"I don't just not love you; I'm disgusted by the fact that I was ever married to you." "I regret it. If I could do it all over, I would wish I'd never met you," she declared, her words cutting deeper than any blow. In that moment, the weight of their past hung heavy in the air, and the future seemed uncertain, shrouded in shadows and unspoken truths. Conclusion As the echoes of Autumn's resolute declaration faded into the stunned silence of the party, a profound shift took place within her.

No longer tethered to the manipulative grasp of Mars, she felt an unexpected lightness in her heart, as if a heavy burden had been lifted. The crowd, once a source of anxiety and judgment, now simply bore witness to her reclamation of self. In that moment of clarity, Autumn recognized that her worth was not defined by the whispers of others or the toxic ties of her past. She was ready to embrace the future, no longer haunted by the shadows of her previous life. For Owen, standing at her side, there was a sense of relief mixed with admiration as he watched Autumn assert her strength.

As the social elite of the Bennett family circle buzz with gossip, the foundations of loyalty and reputation will be put to the test, revealing hidden alliances and unexpected betrayals. Meanwhile, Owen's protective instincts towards Autumn will undoubtedly propel him into a fierce battle to shield her from the venomous whispers of the crowd and the lingering shadows of Mars's influence. How far will he go to defend her honor, and what sacrifices will he be willing to make?
