Chapter 10

Ginny let out a cold snort. "You know perfectly well what your intentions were."

With that, she took Autumn’s hand and led her toward her room so the two of them could talk in private.

By lunchtime, Autumn’s eldest brother, Simon Lewis had returned.

He was dressed in a sharp black suit, his features defined and composed, with the calculating edge of a seasoned businessman in his eyes.

During the meal, Ginny personally picked food for Autumn.

Since she had spoken to the kitchen in advance, nearly half the dishes on the table were Autumn’s favorites.

Luna glanced at the spread and immediately lost her appetite, though she had no choice but to stay and eat.

After a few half-hearted bites, she set down her utensils and pulled out the necklace resting at her collarbone.

She smiled sweetly and said, "I have some good news. I’m in a relationship. This necklace was a birthday gift from him!"

Autumn’s hand paused mid-air, eyes flicking briefly to the necklace Luna was proudly showing off.

Her brow creased ever so slightly, but she quickly returned to eating, expression calm.

What a blatant provocation.

But Autumn no longer cared.

She didn’t even care about Julian anymore.

If he wanted to give gifts to someone else, it had nothing to do with her.

Susan’s eyes lit up as she stared at the necklace around Luna’s neck.

"That’s the limited-edition True Heart, isn’t it? There are only two in the entire country. It’s practically impossible to get, even if you have the money.

"Our Luna really is a lucky girl. What a wonderful boyfriend. I’m so happy for you."

Hector, who didn’t know much about jewelry, still chimed in with enthusiasm after hearing Susan’s words.

"Luna’s amazing, after all. She’s the little princess of the Lewis family. Only someone exceptional would be good enough for her."

Simon raised an eyebrow and placed a piece of fish on Luna’s plate.

"Luna, dating is great, but you two should plan a time to have him drop by for dinner. Let us meet him and see what he’s like."

Richard also looked pleased. "Your brother’s right. You young people can date, but it’s important to let the family get to know him too."

Watching everyone at the table, so full of joy, exchanging cheerful remarks, Autumn bit down on her lip and unconsciously tightened her grip on her fork.

They had no idea she was already married.

And even less of a clue that the man Luna was talking about was the same man she had married.

So here they were, beaming with excitement and chatting about that man, completely unaware of the storm brewing behind her calm facade.

The only one feeling out of place was Autumn.

Luna glanced at her, feigning cautious concern. "Sis, why aren’t you saying anything? Are you upset that I’m in a relationship?"

Autumn stayed silent.

Her hand clenched around her fork as she slowly lifted her gaze.

So, Luna cheated with her husband and now had the nerve to flaunt it in her face.

Did she expect Autumn to smile, clap, and maybe even light a firecracker in celebration?

Was she trying to drive her insane?

If it weren’t for the thirty-day cooling-off period before the divorce could be finalized, Autumn would’ve flipped the damn table.

She might’ve failed at being a decent person, but when it came to being shameless, she was a natural.

With that thought, Autumn slammed her plate and fork onto the table with a loud clack.

"I’m done."

Hector frowned in irritation. "Autumn, Luna’s talking to you. What kind of attitude is that?"

Autumn stood up, dragging her chair back loudly. "So, what, Luna gets a boyfriend, and I’m supposed to respond on cue?

"Fine, then. I wish them a lifetime of undying love, so they’ll be too busy ruining each other’s lives to hurt anyone else."

Luna had succeeded in getting under her skin.

Just because she’d kept quiet, they thought she was easy to push around.

But Luna knew exactly where to twist the knife, and now Autumn could feel the rage burning through her chest.

With a loud smack, Simon slammed his fork onto the table, his face darkening as he snapped, "Autumn, haven’t you caused enough trouble?"

Autumn stared at her eldest brother, the one she’d always looked up to.

A memory flashed in her mind—when their parents had just divorced, he used to take his allowance to buy her candy, gently brushing the dirt from her cheek as he promised he’d always see her as his only sister.

But that was long gone.

Now, he stood firmly on Luna’s side every time something happened.

"Not yet," Autumn said faintly, then gave a cold, mocking smile.

"I would always get blamed for speaking up. If I don’t say anything, I’m still the one at fault. You people are exhausting."

Simon went silent.

Right then, Ginny slammed her own fork down and stood up, her tone icy as she turned to Luna.

"Will you shut that mouth already? Can’t even eat a meal without stirring up drama.

"If you want to eat, then eat. If not, get out. No one here is interested in your little performances."

Tears spilled down Luna’s cheeks as she rushed to explain.

"Grandma, you misunderstood. I was just really happy and thought I’d share the joy while Sis is home... I didn’t know my relationship would upset her so much. I just..."

Hector quickly stepped in front of Luna, glaring coldly at Autumn.

"Autumn, just because Grandma always sides with you, you think you can bully Luna every time you come home? How can you be so cruel?

"She’s just in a relationship. What’s it got to do with you? Why the sour face?"

Smack!

Ginny slapped Hector across the face.

Everyone turned to her in shock.

Ginny’s voice was low but firm as she said, "Hector, you’re defending your half-sister and turning on your biological sister. You think that makes you noble?

"I really don’t get it. Luna’s only your half-sister. Why are you always so eager to protect her?"

Simon’s expression turned grim as he snapped at Autumn, "Autumn, Hector just got slapped because of you. Don’t you feel the slightest bit ashamed?"

He had come home for lunch only because Autumn was visiting, despite his packed schedule.

But now, faced with this mess, all he saw was a sister growing more disrespectful by the day, throwing tantrums over the smallest things.

Autumn let out a short, cold laugh. "Maybe he got slapped because he couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

"Brother, if you’ve got time, you should get your eyes checked. Clearly, your vision’s gone bad. You can’t even see what’s right in front of you."
