Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today, I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 158 of "REMARRIED AFTER I SECRETLY DIVORCED THE CEO."

---
When Autumn learned that Sienna had been arrested, she felt no sympathy. None at all. If it hadn't been for Keith's intervention, Sienna would have been the one rotting in jail instead of trying to destroy Autumn's life. So no, there was no pity in her heart. What surprised her was the revelation that Julian—Sienna's own brother—had been the one to hand her over. He had planned to defend her, to stand by her side, but instead, he was the instrument of her downfall. How ironic. How poetic.
Autumn let out a quiet breath, set her phone down, and returned to her work without another thought. Julian had his hands full now, and that was his problem, not hers.
Later that afternoon, while delivering some documents, fate decided to test her nerves once again. The elevator doors slid open, and there he stood—Hector Lewis, her second brother. They both froze for a brief moment. Autumn quickly stepped aside, hoping to avoid any interaction, but Hector strode in, and soon the small elevator held only the two of them. The air grew heavy.
He positioned himself in front of her, cornering her with his presence. "On Mom's memorial day, Luna hit her head. I didn't have my phone, and neither did our brother. By the time I got a phone, it was already evening. I figured everything was over by then, so I didn't come."
He spoke as if reciting a report, his tone matter-of-fact and defensive. He had always felt a sliver of guilt about that day, and now, seeing Autumn, he felt the need to explain. In his mind, he wasn't at fault. Things had been urgent. They couldn't just leave Luna lying there, bleeding and unconscious. He assumed Autumn would understand. After all, no one could have predicted such a coincidence.
But Autumn didn't even glance at him. She looked right past him, as if he were a stranger speaking to someone else entirely.
Hector's patience snapped. "Autumn, I'm explaining what happened that day. What's with this attitude? Or what, are you just cold-blooded now? Secretly glad Luna got hurt? Gloating inside?"
He had lowered himself—lowered himself!—to give her an explanation, and yet she responded with nothing but ice. Unbelievable. He watched her, his anger boiling, wondering how their once sweet, obedient little sister had turned into this heartless stranger.
Finally, Autumn lifted her gaze. Her eyes were sharp, cutting like knives as they swept over him. "Yeah, that's right. I hope she dies sooner. Does that answer satisfy you, Mr. Lewis?"
Her voice was calm. Too calm. Deadly calm.
In their eyes, Luna was perfect. Flawless. The golden child. And she was the odd one out, the forgotten sister. Since they were nothing but strangers now, why should she show them any courtesy? They had chosen their side long ago.
Hector's face flushed red with fury. "You actually cursed Luna to die? How could you be so vicious? And I'm your brother—your second brother! Is this how you speak to your elders? What happened to your manners?"
Every time he saw Autumn, she had a way of making his blood boil. He had tried to explain things calmly, and yet she either ignored him or said something so cutting it could kill. She was completely ungrateful.
"Brother? You think you deserve that title?" Autumn's lips curled into a cold, mocking smile. "I told you before—if you skipped Mom's memorial again, we were done. And now you're trying to act all close? Don't you think that's a little pathetic? Why don't you go down and ask Mom yourself if she'd forgive you?"
At the mention of their mother's memorial, Autumn's eyes reddened slightly. If not for her, she wouldn't have wasted another word on them. She had said everything that needed to be said, and Hector had treated it like nothing. Even their grandmother had shown up. But her two blood-related brothers? It was like they were dead. Put all those "coincidences" together, and it stopped being coincidence. They were just too blind and too heartless to see the truth.
Hector's chest heaved with fury as he glared at her. "Autumn, I've already explained everything to you. What more do you want from me?"
---
What a painful confrontation. This chapter shows just how deep the wounds run between Autumn and her brothers. Hector still believes he's the one owed an apology, that his explanation should be enough to erase the hurt. But Autumn has moved past the stage of wanting explanations. She no longer needs their excuses or their half-hearted attempts at reconciliation. She has accepted the cold truth: they chose Luna over her, again and again. And now, she chooses herself.
The tension in that elevator was palpable—two people who share blood but no bond, standing inches apart yet miles away emotionally. Autumn's words cut like glass, but they were born from years of silence, neglect, and broken promises. This isn't just about one missed memorial; it's about a lifetime of being second-best.
**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter was emotionally charged and brutally honest. I felt Autumn's pain and her strength simultaneously. Hector's inability to see his own faults is frustrating, but that's what makes this story so real—family dynamics are messy, and some rifts cannot be mended with simple words. The raw emotion here earns this chapter a solid ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.5 / 5 Stars.
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
With Hector now thoroughly insulted and their relationship at a breaking point, I predict he will go running to Luna and Julian, painting Autumn as the heartless villain. This will likely escalate the family conflict, and maybe—just maybe—Julian will begin to question whether their side of the story is as innocent as they think. Something tells me the Lewis family drama is far from over.
