Autumn nodded slowly, but her voice dripped with a mocking sweetness that cut through the air like a blade. "Is that so? So, you're saying I must've imagined what I heard?"
Ryan and Grant stood there, momentarily struck dumb. Their mouths opened, but no words came. Since when had Autumn become so sharp-tongued? The woman they remembered used to be timid in their presence, meek and agreeable, always nodding along. This was the first time she'd dared to speak to them like this—especially right in front of Julian. Was this another sly trick to grab his attention?
Sure enough, Julian finally lifted his gaze and locked eyes with her. His voice was cool, almost dismissive. "Do you always have to be so aggressive?"
Because the woman he'd witnessed over these past few days was nothing like the one he'd known for years. She used to be gentle, submissive, always agreeable. She never lost her temper in front of him. And over time, that just became... boring. Dull.
But now? She'd transformed into a fierce little wildcat, lashing out at anyone who dared cross her. It made him wonder—had that demure version of Autumn all been an act? Was this her new tactic to reel him back in?
Autumn smiled, her lips curling with a hint of dangerous amusement. "Mr. Carter, you must be joking. If we're talking about being aggressive, how could I ever compete with you? Don't you agree?"
If it weren't for Keith's help, she might have already been pushed to the edge by Julian. All those years of love, and she couldn't even get a decent breakup. How pathetic. Since they couldn't part peacefully, and all affection had long been drained dry, then so be it. Next time they crossed paths, she wouldn't pretend anymore.
Julian's eyes flickered briefly with surprise—a crack in that cold facade—but the expression vanished just as quickly. Before he could respond, Ryan couldn't help but chime in, trying to sound diplomatic.
"Autumn, maybe ease up a little, yeah? You're laying it on pretty thick. Don't make it awkward for everyone."
Grant jumped in too, his voice oozing false conciliation. "Julian's here today purely to discuss business. No need to get all worked up."
But their supposedly polite words were laced with condescension, dripping with the same old arrogance. Back then, the two of them always played off each other, manipulating Autumn without her ever realizing it. Now, though, she could see right through them. Clearly, neither of them knew she and Julian were already divorced.
What puzzled Autumn was this: since Julian had already gotten involved with Lana and she had chosen to walk away, shouldn't he be thrilled? Shouldn't he be rushing to marry the woman he supposedly adored? Why was he still standing here, interfering in her life?
She withdrew her gaze and said lazily, "Three against one, and you still can't win? How dull. Same lines every time. Aren't you tired of saying them? Because I'm definitely tired of hearing them."
With that, she turned and started to walk away.
But just then, Julian stubbed out his cigarette, rose to his feet, and grabbed her arm with a firm grip. His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable weight. "We need to talk."
Autumn smoothly pulled her hand back, her voice cold as winter frost. "There's nothing left to talk about between us."
Back when they were still married, she'd wanted to talk. She'd begged for conversation, for connection, for any sign that he still cared. But Julian never gave her the chance. Now they were divorced, and suddenly he wanted to have a conversation? She had nothing left to say. Everything worth saying—and not worth saying—had already been spoken into the void.
But as soon as she pulled away, he grabbed her again and dragged her straight toward a nearby storage room. She struggled, but it was useless. His grip was too strong, her protests too weak. She had no choice but to let him pull her inside.
The room was dimly lit, cluttered with forgotten boxes and broken furniture. Dust particles danced in the faint light. Autumn could barely make out the shapes around her, but she could feel the tension closing in.
Julian still had her by the wrist. She couldn't help but remind him, her voice sharp and clear, "We're divorced. What do you want from me now?"
When her world used to revolve around him, he treated her with cold indifference—barely speaking, disappearing from home for days on end. Now that she didn't care anymore, suddenly he wanted her attention? The irony was almost laughable.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
This chapter was an absolute rollercoaster of emotions! I felt every ounce of Autumn's pent-up anger and long-overdue rebellion. The way she finally stood up to Julian, Ryan, and Grant was deeply satisfying. For years, she was the victim, the silent sufferer, and now she's taking back her power. Julian's confusion is palpable—he's not used to being challenged, and it unsettles him. The raw tension in that storage room scene left me breathless, wondering what he could possibly want now that the divorce is final. A powerful, cathartic chapter that makes you cheer for Autumn while questioning Julian's motives.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
I predict that Julian's sudden urgency to "talk" stems from more than just bruised pride. He might reveal a hidden reason for his coldness during their marriage—perhaps a threat, a family secret, or even jealousy over Autumn's new independence. But Autumn won't make it easy for him. She's no longer the woman who waits for his scraps of attention. The storage room confrontation could explode into a raw confession, or it could turn into an even bitterer battle of wills. Either way, the next chapter is bound to be explosive!
