# Chapter 186: The Sharp Edge of Truth
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 186 of "REMARRIED AFTER I SECRETLY DIVORCED THE CEO" – a chapter where words become weapons and the battle for respect reaches a boiling point.

The tension in the room had become so thick you could have cut it with a knife when Luna finally decided to speak, her voice dripping with calculated innocence. "Mr. Sinclair, you shouldn't believe every bit of gossip you hear. After all, business partnerships are about capability, aren't they?"
Her words were a venomous dart, clearly aimed at Autumn. In Luna's twisted mind, Autumn was nothing more than a gossipmonger who delighted in spreading negativity about the Lewis family. She truly believed that her own position was unshakeable, that her abilities spoke for themselves, and that Autumn's supposed petty tactics were beneath her notice.
But here was the irony – Luna herself had just demonstrated exactly the kind of backstabbing behavior she accused Autumn of. Playing quiet, then slipping in a poisoned jab the moment she saw an opportunity in front of others? Classic.
Keith's fingers paused mid-tap against the polished table. His gaze lifted to meet Luna's, and while his expression remained deceptively calm, the weight of authority behind those eyes was unmistakable – no, it was devastating.
"Miss Lewis," he said, his voice low and dangerous, "are you questioning my judgment?"
The pressure of his stare hit Luna like a physical force. For a moment, she froze, caught off guard by the sheer intensity of his presence. But she was a Lewis through and through, and pride ran thick in their blood. She quickly recovered her composure.
"Mr. Sinclair, you've misunderstood. I'm not questioning you. I simply think we should stick to the matter at hand instead of blurring the lines between personal and professional. Acting on hearsay – that's not really your style, is it?"
Oh, she knew exactly what she was doing. She knew perfectly well that Keith was defending Autumn, but there was no way in hell she would let him twist the narrative against her in front of her brothers. Everything she had built, everything she had earned through blood and sweat, was on the line. She wasn't about to let them destroy it so easily.
Still, a bitter thought gnawed at her – Autumn's game had clearly leveled up. If she could latch onto someone like Keith Sinclair, then Luna had severely underestimated her rival.
Keith's gaze swept over her like a blade's edge, cold and precise. "This is your company's idea of showing sincerity in a partnership?"
His meaning was crystal clear. They wanted not just to work with Vanguard, but to angle for him directly. Their ambitions were overreaching, plain and simple.
Luna pressed her lips together, frustration simmering beneath her composed exterior. Why was Keith so completely unyielding? The only explanation that made sense in her mind was that Autumn must have said something, poisoning his perception and turning him against them. But given time, she was certain, Keith would see their sincerity.
The atmosphere had grown suffocating when Simon finally stood, pulling a document from his briefcase with practiced efficiency. "Mr. Sinclair, this is the technical proposal for our company's new project. Please take a look."
The proposal had been written by Luna, and in Simon's eyes, his sister had a genuine gift for technology. At least on that point, he could feel confident.
Keith didn't take it. He didn't even lift his eyelids. His tone was ice.
"I heard your grandmother's been hospitalized, and yet here you are, out enjoying dinners and drinks. After coming back, you don't go see her right away. Instead, you bring people here to talk business with me."
He paused, letting the weight of his words sink in before delivering the killing blow.
"There's no shortage of people wanting to work with the Sinclair Group. Why should I choose those who are unfilial and driven only by profit?"
Autumn glanced at Keith from the corner of her eye. This was a man who had every reason to be proud, and who knew exactly how to put others in their place. She had to admit – Keith might be reserved most of the time, but when it came to speaking plainly, he could cut sharp as a surgeon's scalpel.
Simon's grip on the document tightened, his knuckles whitening. He exchanged a look with Hector, and both brothers saw the same shock reflected in each other's eyes.
Their grandmother was in the hospital?
How had they not known?
But this was a Lewis family matter, and if Keith knew about it in such detail, there was no doubt in their minds about the source. It had to have come from Autumn. It simply had to.
The chapter ends with this bitter realization, leaving us to wonder – what will happen when the brothers confront Autumn about their grandmother? Will the truth come out, or will their misplaced anger drive them further down a dangerous path?

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh my goodness, what a brilliantly tense chapter! The way Keith handled Luna was absolutely *chef's kiss* – he didn't even raise his voice, yet he completely dismantled her confidence with nothing but a cold stare and carefully chosen words. The poetic justice of him exposing the Lewis siblings' unfilial behavior while they sat there accusing Autumn of gossip was simply magnificent.
However, I do feel a twinge of frustration that the brothers immediately jumped to blaming Autumn again. Their blindness to their own faults is both infuriating and compelling as a reader. It makes me root even harder for Autumn to finally break free from their toxic influence.
⭐ **Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars**
## Next Chapter Prediction
I predict that the next chapter will dive into the Lewis brothers' confrontation with Autumn about their grandmother's hospitalization. But here's where it gets interesting – I believe the truth will finally come out that Autumn had nothing to do with it, and this revelation might actually be the first crack in the brothers' united front against her. Meanwhile, Keith's protective stance toward Autumn will only grow stronger, and the Sinclair Group partnership will likely move forward – but on Keith's terms, not theirs.
