Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 142 of "REMARRIED AFTER I SECRETLY DIVORCED THE CEO" — a chapter where alliances shift, masks fall, and the battlefield of pride and power becomes impossible to ignore.
---
With just one cutting line, Luna had flipped the entire dynamic on its head. Autumn found herself suddenly cast as the unreasonable aggressor. If she dared to say another word, she'd look petty, immature — exactly the kind of woman Luna wanted everyone to see her as. A classic case of hiding behind the armor of authority, wearing it like a shield made of stolen privilege.
Jasmine, ever Luna's loyal shadow, couldn't resist adding fuel to the fire. A smirk tugged at her lips as she taunted, "Autumn, things are different now. Luna's the lead on your current project. You should be calling her your manager."
The mere thought of watching Autumn get trampled under their heels from now on sent a wave of satisfaction washing over Jasmine. Every ounce of humiliation she'd suffered before evaporated in an instant. This was catharsis. This was victory.
Selena, however, had reached her boiling point. Her voice crackled with fury as she snapped, "Manager? *Her?* She's just a bastard born from her mother being the other woman. What's there to respect? Oh, what now? Mother and daughter both homewreckers, and suddenly you think that's something to be proud of? The shamelessness is unreal."
Selena's rage was raw, visceral. She knew exactly what it felt like to have love shattered by someone's intrusion. Her own pain mirrored Autumn's — a wound that bled every time Luna smiled that innocent smile. At least her ex's first love hadn't been vile enough to demand respect from the betrayed wife in public. But here Luna was, expecting everyone to bow before her.
Jasmine nearly choked on her anger, her lip twitching wildly. "And who the hell are you? Just a dog following Autumn around. What gives you the right to talk to us like that? Typical birds of a feather — both mouthy, no substance. All bark and no bite. You're just jealous of Luna, aren't you? No matter how you look at it, you can't compare. So all you can do is mock her, right?"
For Jasmine, Luna was untouchable — a goddess walking among mortals. No one had the right to insult her. Hadn't Luna saved them from trouble before? And now Autumn and her pitiful friend had the audacity to humiliate her? Jasmine wasn't holding back anymore.
Autumn placed a steady hand on Selena's arm before she could unleash another verbal assault. Then, pointing to herself, she spoke with icy clarity: "What exactly do I have to be jealous of? Jealous that she stole what wasn't hers? That she manipulates everyone around her? Or that she's proudly shameless while sleeping with someone else's husband?"
Luna looked up at Autumn with a calm, dismissive glance — the same coldness she'd always shown. Still the same loud, trashy woman, ranting like a reality show drama queen. Utterly distasteful. Not a trace of composure.
A faint smile curled on Luna's lips. "I'll be sure to report this to your CEO."
The message was unmistakable: Autumn had disrespected a partner, and for that, she deserved punishment. Jasmine lifted her chin without a shred of restraint. "Do you believe that with just one word from Luna, you two would be packing your things and kicked out on the spot?"
In Jasmine's mind, the level Luna stood at was a mountain Autumn could never climb, no matter how hard she worked her entire life. All Autumn had going for her was that sharp tongue. Imagining Autumn reduced to nothing more than someone serving tea in their presence filled Jasmine with euphoria.
Autumn gave a faint, knowing smile. "You're welcome to try."
With that, she grabbed Selena's arm and walked off without looking back.
Jasmine's face flushed with rage, her cheeks puffed out. "Luna, did you see how arrogant Autumn was? She didn't even show basic respect to a partner. It's infuriating!" God, seeing that smug face made her want to walk over and slap her.
Luna curved her lips into a cold, mocking smile. "Ignore her. Let's go."
A woman who needed a man just to stay relevant in the company? Not even worth her attention.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter was an intense tug-of-war between dignity and degradation. Watching Autumn refuse to bow — even when faced with Luna's manufactured authority — was both empowering and heartbreaking. Selena’s fury felt like a mirror of every betrayed heart, while Jasmine’s sycophantic loyalty revealed how power can corrupt even the most seemingly loyal friends. The tension was razor-sharp, the dialogue cutting like glass. I loved how Autumn walked away with her head held high, refusing to play the victim. But I also felt the weight of the injustice — Luna's power came from stolen influence, and yet she wielded it like a crown.
**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars**
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
The CEO will receive Luna's report, but instead of punishing Autumn, something unexpected might happen. Could the CEO have a hidden history with Autumn? Or perhaps Luna's manipulation will finally backfire, revealing cracks in her carefully constructed facade. I predict a confrontation that will shatter the power dynamic — and maybe even expose Luna's real motives.
