Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 165 of "REMARRIED AFTER I SECRETLY DIVORCED THE CEO" – a chapter that takes us deep into the scars of the past and the fragile hope of redemption.

Autumn's words hung in the air like bitter medicine, her tone carrying a strange mix of resignation and hard-won wisdom. "Now I finally understand the saying – when someone's got no shame, they're unbeatable. Perfect match, those two. May they be chained together for life."
Selena let out a shaky breath, the irony of it all settling into her bones. She'd spent so long fighting for a man who wasn't worth a single tear, and now, standing on the other side of heartbreak, she could finally see the truth with crystal clarity. Her ex and that woman deserved each other – two souls tangled in their own selfishness, destined to make each other miserable for eternity.
Autumn reached over and gave Selena's shoulder a gentle squeeze, her touch warm and comforting. "I'm glad you can see it that way. Want me to drive you home?"
There was something profound in that moment – a quiet understanding between two women who had both tasted the bitter dregs of love's betrayal. A man's love could turn in a heartbeat, Autumn thought, and only when a woman truly saw him for who he was could she break free and start anew. That was why a woman had to stand on her own two feet, build something of her own, and earn her place in the world. No man's affection was a safe harbor; the only anchor that never failed was the one you forged yourself.
Selena dangled her car keys with a little smile playing at her lips, the first genuine expression of lightness Autumn had seen on her face all evening. "No need. I drove here tonight. My brother bought me this new ride a couple of days ago. Want me to take you for a spin?"
The words carried a quiet pride – not in the car itself, but in what it represented. Her family had rallied around her, their love becoming a fortress against the pain of betrayal. To make it up to her, her parents and brother had gone out of their way to treat her well. Anything she wanted, they did their best to give.
Compared to Autumn, Selena was definitely the lucky one. Losing a scumbag still left her with a family who adored her. Autumn, on the other hand, had no one.
That was why Selena's wounds healed faster – because she'd been constantly reminded how fortunate it was to be loved by family.
"Sure," Autumn said with a nod, her mind already shifting to heavier matters. "I actually have something I want to talk to you about."
She remembered Selena's uncle was the chief of police here in Northhaven, and she might have even worked a case involving him in the past. If she could get his contact information, maybe she could dig up old evidence and reopen the case that had haunted her family for a decade.
The two women got into the car, and Selena immediately began chattering excitedly about her new ride and her life at home, almost as if she was letting off steam after days of silent suffering. Her words tumbled out in a rush – stories about her mother's cooking, her father's jokes, her brother's overprotective antics.
Autumn listened quietly, offering the occasional response, her patience a delicate thread holding back the urgency of her true purpose. She waited for the right moment, watching the city lights blur past the window as they rounded bend after bend.
When Selena finally fell silent, Autumn seized the opportunity with careful precision.
"Selena, is your uncle still chief of police in Northhaven?"
Selena nodded as she turned the wheel, glancing over at her in curiosity. "Yeah, he is. Why?"
Autumn hesitated before answering, the weight of ten years of pain pressing down on her chest. "It's like this – my uncle was also with the Northhaven police back then, but ten years ago, he was framed and sent to prison. Until the day he passed, his case was never overturned. But a few days ago, I saw that same girl from back then. I want you to ask your uncle if he can let me look into the old case files. I've got some evidence in my hands too."
Just thinking about it stirred something deep in Autumn's chest – a fire that had never truly gone out, only smoldered beneath layers of grief and helplessness. She'd seen firsthand how her uncle had suffered over the past ten years. If he hadn't stepped in to help Jasmine's family of ungrateful leeches back then, his life could have taken a completely different path – one bright with promise and potential.
He'd been an upright, principled officer, one of the most likely to rise to a senior post. Who could have imagined that a single act of kindness would end up destroying him, leaving him to die with that injustice hanging over him like a curse?
Selena's eyes widened in shock, her grip on the steering wheel tightening. "Your uncle... was he the officer named George Fang back then? He's really gone?"
The case had been a huge scandal at the time. She'd heard plenty of rumors, whispered in hallways and shouted in headlines. Being young then, and not knowing Autumn personally, it had been easy to be swayed by what people said. She'd even disliked George at one point. After all, with the rumors flying, plenty of parents had been shouting that men like him should be executed to appease the public outrage.
It wasn't until later, when she overheard her own uncle talking, that she learned George had actually been a decent man, and that his colleagues had always believed he was innocent. The truth had been buried beneath a mountain of lies, and no one had cared enough to dig it up.
Until now.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
This chapter hit me right in the heart. Watching Selena heal through family love while Autumn carries the cold weight of loneliness – the contrast is devastating. The revelation about Autumn's uncle adds a layer of tragedy that makes everything feel heavier. This isn't just about broken romances anymore; it's about broken justice, stolen lives, and the desperate fight to reclaim a truth no one wants to remember.
⭐ **Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars** – Emotionally rich, perfectly paced, and layered with meaning. The only reason it's not a perfect five is because I'm aching for more resolution.
## Next Chapter Prediction
I believe Autumn will finally meet Selena's uncle, and what she discovers in those old case files will be far more dangerous than she ever imagined. Someone powerful was behind George Fang's downfall, and the moment Autumn starts digging, she'll wake sleeping dragons. Expect threats, obstacles, and possibly even someone from her past trying to stop her – especially if the truth implicates people still in positions of power.
